Any engineers out there?

Studying electrical engineering in high school currently. Going to study it in college too and maybe make it my profession

 

In a few days I start my classes.

I'm going to study System Engineering.



EDIT: What about doing Math while high guys? Does it work for you?

 

Haha no kidding. Smoking is such a cooldown at the end of the day when all the homework/studying is done.

But yea, I really want to go into something along the lines of data transfer. So possibly looking into technology that replaces electrical components with optical components. What are you going into?

I just got done taking my second circuits class. Went over a bunch of filters (passive/active), and Laplace transforms, bode plots, etc... Pretty neat stuff. What classes have you taken?

 

In response to Twisted.

Personally, it can go either way. I'd highly advise against doing heavy algebra based work. This typically leads me to make one big mistake somewhere, which in turn, forces me to redo the problem.

On a second note, when doing creative math, it's very effective. Creative math in my terms is trig manipulations and math tools that typically have to be looked up online for the user to solve the problem. This makes solving Fourier Transforms, Fourier Series, Trig integrals, Trig simplifications much much simpler.

And lastly, concepts! Concepts are SO much easier to understand when on Cloud 9. This will be incredibly useful in physics based classes. For example, when trying to understand abstract concepts like Light interference patterns. When you go home and look at an Interference applet online, it makes understanding the patter much easier.

So I hope this helps. And by all means, experiment with it and tell us your results on what is easier!! If you really think about the experiences we share, it's one of a kind, and can help us all make our studying more efficient!

 

I was going into chemical engineering

i just decided on general chem right now. i might go back and get a degree in it

everyone asks me what I'm going to do job wise with my degree.. im like idk

 

I'm an computer engineering technology student and the University right now. Thinking about switching to physics though.

 

Computer Engineering @ University of South Florida

 

I love breaking the stereotype


there is a generous amount of smart people on GC

 

Yeah I hated Digital Logic. At the time I was horrid at programming, and hated everything about it haha. But now that I've had some free time with programming, I'm really enjoying it (in part because I know what I'm doing ^.^). But I really wish I could've taken Digital Logic when I was decent at programming, because FSM's and HLSM's are very rewarding to those good at thinking like a programmer. What are you guys covering now?
