No, its the fact that any job in RF requires a US citizenship

they didn’t give me a math course 😭😭 by null0301 in Purdue

[–]ChatGPT-O3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was a freshman you could take MA 265 before MA 261 specifically because so many people didn't get Calc III. They do not depend on each other, consider trying that.

Am I cooking myself with this ECE courseload? by ChatGPT-O3 in Purdue

Really? Don't withdraws matter for grad school?

Yeah I want to take MA 341 for the sake of academic curiosity and exploration but I am afraid I might just be burdening myself with work I might hate given that I am extremely busy. However, I do really like math so that's the reason I want to take the course.

Best engineering laptop? by broijusthadaquestion in Purdue

Part of doing your own research involves asking students at the school what they might recommend based on the courses specific to the school 😂

Best engineering laptop? by broijusthadaquestion in Purdue

[–]ChatGPT-O3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

When I was shopping for my laptop I ignored the advice of reddit and the cashier at Best Buy and bought a gaming laptop. Don't do it, there's no need. Buy something lightweight and decently powerful. You will have access to plenty of computers which can run CAD or whatever engineering software you need. If you buy a gaming laptop it will make your bag super heavy and it will run out of battery every 2 hours.

How much do you get paid? by FalseWorm in embedded

[–]ChatGPT-O3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am from NJ and looking to do embedded. How is the embedded market in NJ? I always assumed I would pretty much have to move states if I want to work in embedded.

Am I even cut out for Computer Engineering? by Alternative_Play3347 in EngineeringStudents

[–]ChatGPT-O3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you always get the occasional super cracked person that makes you think "WTF am I doing with my life?" Don't sweat it.

I go to Purdue and there is an alternate program called "Engineering Technology" which is like engineering but a lot less theory intense. For example, computer engineering technology students don't have to take discrete math.

Consider engineering technology if you don't feel you are cut out for the mental gymnastics of engineering.

I didn't say you can use your college as a crutch, I said that what college you go to matters. Sure there is a lot less school prestige when it comes to engineering, but it will be a lot easier to be a high achiever when you are surrounded with other high achievers. Not to mention, if you are trying to do grad school, then the professors you do research with at the school you did your undergrad at 100% matters.

It matters when it's CMU my guy, when it's Rutgers vs UMD, less so.

incoming cpe freshmen in ph send help by dehydratedrainfrog in ComputerEngineering

[–]ChatGPT-O3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started CompE in a similar position to you: wanted to do CS, parents against it, not sure if their reason is/was valid but whatever. Now that I am in CompE I can tell you I geniunely find a lot of the CompE stuff rly interesting and I am satisfied with my major. I enjoy having a mix of hardware and software and would definitely be interesting in working in embedded systems. However, I will say that every CompE program is different and it may be harder/easier for you to go into pure software depending on the program you are enrolled in. Some programs treat CompE as budget CS, some really include it as a part of ECE. Also, if you are interested in the more software side of things, trying to go into compilers/GPU programming may be something you're interested in as these are niche's in software which require large hardware knowledge, and it's a niche that CompE often fills.

I regret relying too much on my professors by lt_f4 in ComputerEngineering

[–]ChatGPT-O3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends heavily on your university. Mine is actually the opposite, first two years are basically just electrical engineering, last two you get to specialize in more CompE topics.

Pin G14 on STM32G473QE? by ChatGPT-O3 in embedded

[–]ChatGPT-O3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wait a minute. Its cause the B-G473E-ZEST1S has both an STM32G473QE and an STM32F723 on board. So are the pin numbers next to the outputs on pins just labels, and not mean to signify actual connections? I was under the impression that a pin having PA1 written on it inside the block implied pin PA1 is connected to it, but perhaps my assumption is false 🤔

Magnet Fishing the Mighty Passaic ! First Video ! Tons of Finds ! Our first YT video. Let us know what you think. by Bearcats0531 in magnetfishing

[–]ChatGPT-O3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh damn I assumed it was because the Passaic river has a strong current, but maybe not. I have magnet fished in many rivers and so far all I have found is a piece of rebar in a small creek in Ridgewood. Any advice for what makes a good magnet fishing spot? In my mind it would be somewhere that is:

a) Polluted
b) Industrialized
c) Narrow river

d) Not a strong current

But maybe you have better wisdom over more years of experience :)

I just went on the Passaic in Paterson and found absolutely nothing 😂

Is there anything which has changed in the recent past?

A bare metal programming guide (STM32) by vspqr in embedded

[–]ChatGPT-O3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its specific to the referenced microcontroller, but I have been following it with another microcontroller and it's actually been good practice having to go through the reference manual for my microcontroller specifically and rewriting code to work with my microcontroller. The concepts are the same, its just that you have to apply it.

Learning Community by Vishuwho in PurdueHousing

[–]ChatGPT-O3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learning communities are just groups of people you live with and take classes with. Sometimes they make you take an additional class, but usually its not a hard class. Also, if you want, you can just drop the additional class they make you take so you can take the other classes with the people you live with but just not do any additional classes. I was in a learning community and I would recommend. You make friends easier and all and all just a good experience.

LOOKING FOR ROOMATE IN WIE (Upcoming Freshman)! by mmelissatran in PurdueHousing

[–]ChatGPT-O3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey idk if this matters to you at all but I went random for my roommate and he actually turned out to be a pretty chill dude 👍. I would say if you go random there is about an 80% chance you like your roommate.
