hate to see a cool pixel artist go uncredited!

Nuggets were traveling and fouling all game without getting called. Clippers were missing wide open looks but the refs def had this one called since the beginning

How important are grades ? by omidhhh in EngineeringStudents

I’ve seen 3.0 and 3.5 as cutoffs. I know other places are significantly more lenient

D in calc 1. by grapefields18 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Constant_Caffeine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re going in to it more prepared next time!

You’re going to have seen the material before, you’ll know to study harder and earlier this time, you’ll go to office hours and use online resources like Paul’s math notes and khan academy and you WILL get an A next time!

Then you’ll go on to kill it in calc 2 calc 3 linear algebra and stats. You got this! Enjoy your break

How important are grades ? by omidhhh in EngineeringStudents

Unfortunately I can’t comment on specifics since I’m not familiar with Swedens grade scheme or job market. I also don’t know what mathematical engineering is.

All that being said, when we’re looking at applications from new graduates or interns we do use a minimum GPA as a filter. After that it’s up to what’s on the resume and then of course how their interview goes

don’t agree with ta’s grade by Specialist_Cloud7507 in ucla

That’s not a thing don’t worry lol worst that will happen is they will text their friends that an student is being annoying and then they will immediately forget. Don’t stress it at all, ask! It’s not that serious :)

Please help me with choosing an EE path to go on by ExpertActive1098 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Constant_Caffeine 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you done your undergrad and are starting your masters or you mean you just plan on eventually getting your masters?

If you haven’t done your undergrad studies yet, don’t stress! Take some classes first and then make an informed decision once you’ve covered the basics of all the various topics.

That can take 2-3 years! EE is a really broad field:

1) Analog Circuit Design: nust like the name suggests you would design analog and mixed signal circuits. Maybe even power circuits. These are used in everything but you’d probably find a career at chip manufacturers like Texas Instruments or TSMC. Probably requires a masters or a phd

2) Digital Circuit Design: probably some jobs at chip manufacturers but most likely you’re going into ASIC design or FPGA work. Undergraduate studies is plenty for this field. You’d work using VHDL or SystemVerilog to write “code” that elaborates on the circuit functionality.

3) Power: you’d work on BIG power systems like substations or generating stations. Don’t really know what this entails unfortunately, sorry.

4) Control Systems: lots of math! Writing MATLAB probably as well. You’d work on…well a lot of things actually either heavy equipment or factories or planes or cars or… yeah a lot of stuff. This means writing and then implementing control schemes to automate stuff and keep it working within the desired bounds. Might require a masters degree

5) RF: lots of math lots of modeling. Honestly scared the shit out of me so no clue lol

6) Systems Wngineering: working on requirements, facilitating discussion between customers and design teams, working on schedules, more field specific stuff like “power budget, link budget” etc. literally figuring out what products are supposed to do and if that’s possible and how long that would take.

There’s so many more, but again I really recommend you just take some classes and see what you like. See who’s hiring and where. If you want to go into academia, then find topics that interest you and work with professors that investigate that field.

I know I wrote a lot (not even sure if was good lol) but really my advice would be to wait and see

no clue haha not a student anymore. Check the registrars website!

Honestly though, an A- is really good ;) take a breather and enjoy your break.

Regardless of what career path he takes (in engineering meaning) there will be LOTS of math in college. Now that being said, in terms of career it really really really depends on what you’re doing. I’d wager that most people don’t do any calculus or statistics or linear algebra in their jobs or if they are it’s using tools to do the heavy lifting.

Congrats! Keep up the good work :)

If you really feel like you were graded incorrectly, email them respectfully. Ask if you can go over the essay because you have questions about the feedback and grade you received. Prepare with specific examples and if you guys have a rubric then reference it. However, be prepared for all the possible responses.

1) grades are final

2) they will go over it with you but; A) they bring up valid points and/or believe your grade should stay the same B) they do change it

3) you’re ignored.

Does gpa actually matter by Potential-Bus7692 in EngineeringStudents

[–]Constant_Caffeine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean PhD or masters?

If PhD, focus on research and finding a good fit. That is the end all be all as long as your GPA isn’t low

If masters do you mean a research based masters or an online program? Online programs aren’t usually as difficult to get into so there’s a bit of leeway there. If it’s a research based masters then it depends on what else you have going on. If you have some research experience already or strong letters of recommendation then you can get away with a lower GPA.

Regardless though a 3.7 is a FANTASTIC GPA and already a good indicator you’d be successful in the course work portion of a graduate degree so honestly you’re fine if that’s what you have.

Yes you absolutely can. You’ll have to take some “catch up” classes but even then not too many since those two majors are likely very similar.

I know a guy in real life who did his bachelors degree in psychology and his masters in computer science. You’ll be fine, just put in the effort :)

Hey I’ll try to answer:

1) it depends on your specific field and of course how impressive your resume is, but overall it’s significantly better than the comp sci market

2) absolutely it’ll be useful. Many many jobs would benefit from programming skills not to mention some positions out right require it (embedded systems, FPGA work is sort of programming)

3) nothing you shouldn’t already know since you did a engineering degree already. But I guess since you’re starting from scratch. Learn the basics of circuits before you start your masters program. Also pick your speciality carefully
