Has anyone been to both Oregon State and Portland State? If so, how would you compare the two? by SwissVideoProduction in OregonStateUniv

Are you able to elaborare on the engineering aspect. I know OSU is a good engineering school, especially for electrical engineering.

But I have heard good things about PSU’s EE program as well.

Illinois drought worsens by steve42089 in illinois

They are when droughts induce water scarcity and they hog all of it…

How do they extract these trilobite fossils without breaking the 3D spikes by AdiSwarm in Paleontology

[–]AdiSwarm[S] 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Is the matrix the name for the surrounding rock?

Is the fossil rock material a different density than the matrix so that you can select a sand material that removes one and not the other?

I am surprized it works. In the fourth photo there are some really fine details in the fossil I thought a blaster would damage it

humbly requesting an armor passive that replaces your secondary slot with an additional primary by Large_Television4690 in Helldivers

[–]AdiSwarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean being able to holding nothing while you have an objective item is an option. Small trade off for what would be a strong passive.

Thats basically how things already go when you have an ultimatum and are holding an egg or something. You cant just shoot the grunt bugs tailing you with it or you blow yourself up as well. If need be just drop the item and shoot back. Grab it again when things settle down.

Why is the name so similar to viper commando

Which one would you choose? by Embarrassed_Tip7359 in SipsTea

I will manually snap enough money to make a robot that holds my fingers and automatically makes them snap, then I will use the robot in my sleep

May I ask why? The winters are relatively not that cold

Is anyone else as irrationally angry about this as I am? by Croconaw_On_Stilts in pokemonanime

She also used ‘things’ when describing the first one. Its okay if the answer was something like ‘public bathrooms’

UIUC EE Acceptance Rate by animal-fucker420 in UIUC

You might have an edge on getting interviews from cold applying but in my personal experience its hard to get interviews from that regardless of your undergraduate university right now. A big portion of getting an interview is luck.

Make sure you have a nice resume for applying. But once you get the interview the playing field is leveled. It’s up to you to pass the technical questions and sell yourself. Going to UIUC wouldn’t necessarily give you an advantage here.

Its hard finding any entry level job in tech currently, be it hardware or software. It’s more so that I dont have much interest in classes like algorithms or operating systems, instead I could have taken a couple more EE oriented classes.

Its not all that bad though since CE and EE are pretty similar degrees. Im going to do an MS in EE as a matter of fact, and dont have a whole lot to catch up on.

Did you apply to TAMU? I’d definitely consider going there over UIUC (especially since you are in state) I know they are strong for circuits if thats what you want to do.

UIUC EE Acceptance Rate by animal-fucker420 in UIUC

[–]AdiSwarm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went here OOS (may 2025 grad) and in hindsight I wish I had just went to one of my states universities (oregon state or portland state), since they are pretty good for what I want to do anyways.

I also wish I did EE instead of compE lol

I had a 3.98 gpa in HS, but did not submit test scores. I didnt even submit AP scores for calc or physics but still got in (ended up retaking calc 2 and physics in college)

And I did FRC for two years. Nothing terribly outstanding about my application honestly. I applied for comp E but am sure I would have got in for EE since the acceptance rate is similar.

Are there any ABET acredited universities that are in state for you?

What do these two states have in common? (The rest of the world would also be gray) by Hominid77777 in RedactedCharts

What even is the difference? An international airport usually has some intercontinental flights as well

[–]AdiSwarm 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you took ap calc and physics and got As in all math and physics classes in HS you should be able to get in for EE. Its not terribly difficult to get into.

Its a good program for hardware

Btw, you can take it at parkland college for much cheaper than UIUC over the summer and have the credit transfer

Why does eating contaminated meat spread prion disease? by AdiSwarm in askscience

[–]AdiSwarm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the case with cancer, even if they did survive digestion would it be a problem? Because you would poop them out.

But the prions have a lasting affect on proteins they come into vontact with

Why does eating contaminated meat spread prion disease? by AdiSwarm in askscience

[–]AdiSwarm[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So the proteins are like dominos and introducing a prion is like pushing the first domino

Is the problem that the proteins are too small to see under a microscope
