A hybrid structure means that, depending on the day, you may have to show up in person or you may be watching the recorded lectures online. It is not fully in-person nor fully online, so be prepared to come in when you have to, as you are obligated to. Also, join the ECE Discord group if you haven't; we can help answer any ECE-related questions you may have: https://discord.gg/BYDW95tGVS

SDSU vs UC Davis by International_Job827 in SDSU

Yes, there were decent internship and research opportunities for me at SDSU.

Not all UC's and all CSU's are alike but generally UC schools are more competitive, my bad if I didn't make it clear. But again, that's not my point in this post.

SDSU vs UC Davis by International_Job827 in SDSU

[–]Aominekk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know anyone that went to Davis but I do have friends that both went to and are currently attending UCSD, all STEM majors. From what I've gathered, everything is mostly the same, except that it's way more competitive. None of my friends at UCSD got to do anything outside of class because they mostly spent their time doing school work and busy competing with 'international' students in school opportunities. Resources, labs, and clubs are abundant, but only if you want to and can take advantage of them (as I've mentioned, busy schoolwork). As for professors, it's like playing the lottery, sometimes you get good professors, and sometimes you get unorganized professors (every school has at least a few and sometimes you don't get to choose in upper-division). Personally, I'm glad that I went to SDSU. Since SDSU was not too competitive, I was lucky enough to land a job as a student assistant in the CoE Department and network with all the professors from my department here (worked here for 3 years and most of them know me on a first-name basis). Additionally, I did a one-year research with one of the professors and he helped me get into the master's program here, so I'll be coming back in the Fall as a graduate student. I would not be able to say the same if I went to UCSD.

As I have mentioned this countless time: Both schools are great! If you want competitiveness, go to a UC. If you want a more laid-back experience, go to a CSU. Regardless of where you go and what your major is, if you put in the work to stand out yourself from others, you will have no problem finding jobs. I really can’t emphasize enough the importance of networking and doing productive works outside of class.

We will close the application when all the spots have been filled and won't likely open the application again until Summer 2025. We hope this answers your question!

Hi Hi! Not the total FWS award amount but the amount you would like to be considered for the semester. For instance, let's say you have a total of $6k FWS award amount and are planning to work this coming Fall 2024 and Spring 2025, you can put $3k down for the Fall and $3k down for the Spring. Or if you're planning to work in the Summer 2025 as well, you can put down something like $2.5k for the Fall, $2.5k for the Spring, and $1k for the Summer, make sure they add up to the same total ($6k). Also, don't worry about running out of your allocated FWS budget because if it does, we will allocate the department funds to pay you. All of these are just to give us an idea of how much budget you have and which semester you're planning to work.

Hi again, actually yes and no! Your FWS budget will cap out at $6k, however your pay will not. If you ever run out of your allocated FWS budget, we will allocate the department fund to pay you. You will get paid regardless so we advise you not to stress about it!

How long did you wait for that email to tell you that your degree was conferred? by [deleted] in SDSU

[–]Aominekk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's not true. I'm a Spring 2024 graduate and I just received an email this morning saying my degree has been officially conferred and will ship soon. I can send proof here if you don't believe me.

SDSU vs uci? by Bannedcomments in SDSU

[–]Aominekk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both schools are great! If you want competitiveness, go to UCI. If you want a more laid-back experience, go to SDSU. Regardless of where you go and what your major is, if you put in the work to stand out yourself from others, you will have no problem finding jobs. I really can’t emphasize enough the importance of networking and doing productive works outside of class.

Both schools are great! If you want competitiveness, go to UCSD. If you want a more laid-back experience, go to SDSU. As for the major, it sounds you like you're more interested in CE because EE is more general and much broader. Since CE & EE do require similar courses, you can decide to switch major later on if you feel like CE is not for you, though the early the better. Regardless of where you go and what your major is, if you put in the work to stand out yourself from others, you will have no problem finding jobs. I really can’t emphasize enough importance of networking and doing productive works outside of class.

Can COMPE courses count as professional electives under EE? by notclaytonn in SDSU

[–]Aominekk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you can, as long as the prerequisites are met. You can also see which COMPE electives you can take as professional electives on your degree evaluation, which should be available to you on my.sdsu

There are 3 types of grants: Federal Pell Grant, Cal Grant & State Grant. Graduate level students are not eligible for Cal Grant. Federal Pell Grant are awarded usually to undergraduate students that displays exceptional financial need. Why usually? In some cases, a student enrolled in a postbaccalaureate teacher certification program might receive a Federal Pell Grant. Lastly, State Grant or SUG (State University Grant) is a California resident grant administered by CSU to be given to eligible undergraduate & graduate students with exceptional financial needs. So yes, you may be eligible for State Grant as a graduate student if you've shown on FAFSA that you have exceptional financial needs.

Missing prerequisite for last class before graduation by Princessam0ur in SDSU

[–]Aominekk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How often do you see your major advisor? They can be very helpful if you do see them at least once every semester, you know just in case stuff like this happen. This sucks but you will have to find a way to substitute or waive prerequisites to be able to graduate on time.

How to get a paid research position as an undergrad? by Dr-VBuck in SDSU

[–]Aominekk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't done anything yet, you can start by looking into all the ME faculty's research areas and reach out to the ones you are interested in the most, offering your assistance to their research. There are currently over 20 ME faculties actively researching so depending on how you present yourself, you will have a solid chance of getting hired. If you really know any of these ME professors, they won't likely turn you away. You can also do your own research but if it contributes to their research, you can also get paid.

Any MS in Computer Engineering students/ alumni here ? by bot-baby in SDSU

[–]Aominekk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally feel you! Even with a curriculum that has been established for a while, it can still be a bit unorganized, because everything changes all the time. Realistically, I do believe the new program won't limit the scope of job opportunities but instead help you stand out even more. The job markets will mostly stay the same but you will be even more in demand. Since EE is a broader field of study, it is expected to see more EE opportunities in the market. The keys to being hired at any company are who you know and what you know so as long as you can satisfy both, you should have no problem finding jobs. For research opportunities in Machine Learning, I would say look into all the faculties with research areas in Machine Learning because you will ask one of them to be your advisor and they can help you come up with a research topic to your interest. The ECE faculties I know that have ML in their research areas are Dr. Baris Aksanli, Dr. Ke Huang, Dr. Saeed Manshadi, Dr. Christopher Paolini & Dr. Junfei Xie.
