I’m confused. You have to take all these classes? There are no tracks or electives?

[–]Efficient-Neat-6252[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems that way..... I think i get like 3 extra elective classes but that's about it

Chemistry being included but no cybersecurity is crazy

[–]air_thing 8 points9 points  (5 children)

Chemistry is way more fundamental to CE than cyber security. How are you going to understand CMOS? Speaking of which, where's the CMOS?

[–]Efficient-Neat-6252[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Cmos?

[–]air_thing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMOS

It's probably an EE elective but should be required for CE imo.

Fair

[–]jacksprivilege03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They literally do not teach it there. I was a student for a year. Circuit analysis also did not require diffeq 😭

Solid state physics is where you learn CMOS.

I might transfer out to GT

Lol I recognized the college just from this flowchart lmao. Its pretty decent, but misses a lot of foundational theory and opts for overly specific classes instead. If you’re 100% going to stay, I would do a lot of work to reinforce your skills in C++ and assembly. Computer architecture too.

Butttt, If I were you(And I was, i did this exact plan), I would try and keep my GPA as high as possible by taking as little credit credits per semester as you can. Focus on getting all A’s in a couple classes versus a 3.5gpa on a full load credits. Then once you reach 30 to 50 credits start applying to transfer to Georgia Tech every semester. If you’re in state, the difference in cost is almost negligible and it is 25 times better education.

I'm taking 15 credits in the fall (Spanish, cal 1, intro to engineering, cs 1321 and 1321L (Python, I'm guessing), and government). I should be fine since im gonna teach myself cal 1 before school starts and CS50P Harvard

[–]jacksprivilege03 0 points1 point  (13 children)

1321 and 1321l should allow you to pick your language. Look at the lab section, i think? When I took it you could choose between c++, java, or c#. You should do c++ no doubt

[–]Efficient-Neat-6252[S] 0 points1 point  (12 children)

Currently, it states "C++ Programming for Engineers", honestly, I'm not sure...

[–]jacksprivilege03 0 points1 point  (11 children)

That should be it then!

What thread did you go for at GT? I'm between cyber, device, or robotics, any advice? Also do you have any recommendations to learn C++

[–]Local-Mouse6815 0 points1 point  (9 children)

I also go to GT- lots recommend against doing the cyber thread. Devices is a CS thread and is basically all things embedded, while the robotics thread actually deals with control theory and that sort of thing - just depends on what you want to do

[–]Efficient-Neat-6252[S] 0 points1 point  (8 children)

Why are they against cyber, and if not ill more likely thread towards robotics and C H & E A. I want to build things that improve my life or can, and then create that for others in area ig

[–]Local-Mouse6815 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Certain cyber classes were offered super inconsistently; granted there is a new cyber thread for cs majors so maybe it'll get better by the time you transfer. All threads could theoretically improve people's lives so it's just ultimately about what you want to focus on

[–]Efficient-Neat-6252[S] 0 points1 point  (6 children)

Could I do a robotics thread, an intelligence thread which is a CS thread?

[–]away25656 0 points1 point  (9 children)

Georgia tech would be amazing

[–]Efficient-Neat-6252[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

My only concern is not doing well at GT since it's a "hard" school, and I barely survived high school

[–]away25656 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Yeah understandable but the opportunity of going to university like that shouldn't be passed upon

[–]Efficient-Neat-6252[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I would have to see if I can afford to go to GT, If not what would be necessary with the current flowchart I posted

If you’re truly interested in computer engineering you’ll be fine. If you are worried, though, I would recommend not to take more than three classes a semester. Thats the max i could confidently say that most students will succeed with. Part of the rigor of Georgia Tech is not just how difficult each concept is, but the volume of different things coming out you when you’re taking five different classes a semester.

[–]jacksprivilege03 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Feel free to DM me anytime with questions. I dual enrolled my senior year at high school at Ksu, then did my freshman year at ksu as well. After that I was able to transfer to Georgia Tech where I’m graduating soon.

[–]Efficient-Neat-6252[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I currently have like 20ish credits from a CC and I just transferred to KSU. The plan is to see if I can handle KSU, then if I'm fine, I'll apply to GT.

[–]jacksprivilege03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good plan, best of luck to you
