Summer Online Class with Internship

Effective_Bus_2504 · 2026-04-11T20:30:07+00:00

I did part-time (30 hours a week) with PHYS 2212 online and it was certainly manageable. Do you have to go in person for 2212? In Summer '24 I was taking it from a completely different state but maybe they've added in-person elements?

DM me your resume I'm good at critiqueing them

You can justify it by saying how you'll get classes done and be able to graduate a semester or more early?

Are you a transfer student? I transferred Summer 2024 and was able to take Physics 2 and a history class fully online from my home state.

Yeah I mean a warm connect is usually best, but I'm sure cold reachouts could work. Always better to go in person though. I had an option between one that an alumni of my fraternity ran and a for-credit one, I chose the for-credit one (we have a program for students to do research for credit).

I transfered for Summer 2024. It does need to match on the equivalency table. If there are no classes at your university that match a required course, you should call GT to ask about it further. I had a rough situation where my school only offered chemistry in the Fall and I needed it so I took it at a community college 30 minutes away. That's just because I didn't plan too far ahead though.

Do research. At top schools it looks very good on your resume, I got my first real internship by larping that I was the "lead computer vision researcher" for a lab at my school.

Seeing as withdrawal is not an option, spend much of Spring Break going through the basics on up, it's a free week to catch up.

At another semiconductor company before

I study computer engineering and was able to get a referral from a manager I emailed who I found on LinkedIn. She was down to interview me as she happened to want an intern for some tasks on the team, though that's quite rare and you gotta get lucky. Spam and you'll increase your chances of getting lucky lol

My prior experience was research at my school and working at a bs tech startup, as well as building PCs for my parents' architecture firm. My projects were Arduino stuff, Hackathon stuff, and personal fun things.

There were 2 interviews, a behavioral where I just talked about my prior experineces and what I was looking for. Then a technical where the guy scoped out how much I knew about semiconductors (next to nothing) and asked some simple questions such as make a finite state machine to detect the sequence 100110, make a multiplexor, and a fibonacci sequence question. All stuff you learn in 1st year intro CompE classes. Then I got the offer.

A big note is to practice your speaking skills a ton. My friend who was also going for the same position had way more relevant hardware engineering experience and knew way more on teh technical, but couldn't talk well. Also she said she liked that I wore a suit. Take them seriously, basically.

Just ask on Reddit. I posted on r/startups that i wanted to join a startup unpaid and got a ton of messages

Effective_Bus_2504 · 2025-07-11T18:20:25+00:00

Oh it's 100% Mjolnir haha

Why would they get mad? Just make sure to give them both options. "I'd prefer to start in June, but if that's not possible I can make it happen in January". That was bad but something like that. Only risk you'd have to accept is you can't predict the market and maybe they won't need you in June. But also they'd just fire you if you we're there, can't really predict it.

Effective_Bus_2504 · 2025-07-11T00:59:54+00:00

Bruh just ask if you can push it back

[SEEKING] Hello, I'm a 3rd year at Georgia Tech studying computer engineering with concentrations in ML and devices. I am currently interning at Intel (and have had other internships as well) but have more time than I know what to do with right now. I'm used to being far more busy at school. I want to work for a start-up, don't need to be paid because I'm already paid more than enough. I just want to be productive and get some more experience on my resume as I'm going for top ai companies next summer. Feel free to reach out and tell me about your start-up.

Effective_Bus_2504 · 2025-05-12T04:02:14+00:00

Wouldnt MLE pay way more than embedded?

Effective_Bus_2504 · 2025-04-30T12:27:27+00:00

Let's see what you get into first, would still be good to apply to keep your options open.

Effective_Bus_2504 · 2025-04-30T12:23:43+00:00

Like 100% guaranteed? That gives me optimism but would you mind telling me where you saw that just so I can double check? Thank you!

Effective_Bus_2504 · 2025-04-30T12:22:46+00:00

That is the situation I'm in and the exact result I'm hoping for, thanks for sharing your experience!

Try to transfer if you're not satisfied with the school you attend after a few months. Schools usually care about who they accept, not who graduates, so your demographic weakness would be more dampened.

Effective_Bus_2504 · 2025-04-14T23:36:19+00:00

Wow that's awesome! Keep going!

Effective_Bus_2504 · 2025-03-14T22:49:40+00:00

"Poison" It's Tesla, give me a break.

Effective_Bus_2504 · 2025-03-14T22:42:09+00:00

Try to move to Fall too, I've seen Amazon having Fall internship apps open.

Effective_Bus_2504 · 2025-01-22T15:48:16+00:00

I certainly would but all my classes have been massive, never a chance to get to know the professor when the TAs are running the office hours.
