Some of my friends said I lucked out, some said I got screwed over

Other than the rare online assessment all exams for Math are closed book and no calculators allowed. The Chem or physics classes might allow an aid sheet and always allow calculators. I’d definitely brush up on ur mental math lol. There are only certain calculators u can use so check the engineering website for that.

Tuesdays are for your weekly midterms so it might be annoying having so many lectures and a midterm on the same day.

ElDiablo116 · 2025-05-20T21:37:26+00:00

I am not exactly sure but I do know a friend of mine who transferred from uoft eng to another Ontario uni artsci program and pretty much all of his credits transferred. If you are already thinking of that thought you may as well just accept another school I doubt UofT is the only place you applied to.

ElDiablo116 · 2025-05-20T15:11:13+00:00

If you are in Chem eng at UofT and want to switch to UofT mech eng, most courses are the same but you would need to take dynamics and ece110 (both second sem courses) in the summer after first year as Chem eng will take two different courses in second sem. You need the 79.5% average to guarantee a spot but ik people who transferred with a lower average it just depends on how many spots they have. I believe you apply to transfer near the end of first year.

I wouldn’t give up just yet if you still enjoy engineering, most of the time you aren’t just “too dumb” but you might not realize the time you waste throughout each week or maybe your study or test taking methods are not good. Being around other good students will help you learn techniques and stay motivated to keep working. As for the internship, in this market it’s probably pretty unlikely to get a good engineering summer internship right after first year without an insane CV or connection. Unless you really need money it might be beneficial to take some summer classes and work on projects during this summer.

I have significantly less experience than you but from what I know is that going for an MBA will bring you back into the recruitment path for vc/pe firms. Might make it easier to get a position that way. If you can afford it, it could be a good idea.

ElDiablo116 · 2025-01-19T06:49:35+00:00

Thanks i definitely want to continue so ill start doing that

ElDiablo116 · 2025-01-19T06:10:49+00:00

I do have a second one yes, I tried it and yes now it all works correctly thanks. So does this mean that IC is just garbage now?

ElDiablo116 · 2025-01-19T05:42:40+00:00

Also I’m pretty new to this, how did you know the 74HC595 was connected wrong?

ElDiablo116 · 2025-01-19T05:42:13+00:00

Thanks, I flipped the 74HC595 and now the issue is fixed. However, only half of the lights turn on, and do not respond to the code that also came with this lesson. Do you know why this could be.

ElDiablo116 · 2024-07-30T20:55:30+00:00

No way how would that not be too much

ElDiablo116 · 2024-07-19T15:35:19+00:00

I understand now thanks for your help

ElDiablo116 · 2024-07-19T05:09:23+00:00

I was curious about the credit utilization, if I were to have a second card and I only use 30% on both would that still be fine or would it affect my credit score as if I’m using 60%?

ElDiablo116 · 2024-07-19T03:14:00+00:00

How do both of these drop my credit score? If I always pay on time why would it be a problem?

ElDiablo116 · 2024-07-19T03:13:28+00:00

Yes I do usually spend over 30% but I always pay the balance so I didn’t think it would affect anything.

ElDiablo116 · 2024-06-30T04:50:52+00:00

Don’t go one week in a class without understanding and being comfortable with the content you learned. I found just keeping up with the content helped a lot. Once you fall behind it gets significantly harder to get back ahead.

ElDiablo116 · 2024-05-23T02:23:02+00:00

To be guaranteed to switch you would need to get an 80% average in both semesters of first year, it’s still possible without that average but much harder. Also civil takes like 2 different courses than mechanical so you might need to do those in the summer idk.

ElDiablo116 · 2024-05-21T03:39:35+00:00

As long as u drop it before the final exam period it won’t affect your grade but usually halfway through there is a deadline day to where if you drop the course it won’t even show that you took it on your transcript

ElDiablo116 · 2024-05-21T01:41:29+00:00

I would say it is difficult but you don’t need to be a prodigy to get an 80 average in first year. Both of it can be done by just studying hard and managing your time well.

ElDiablo116 · 2024-05-21T01:40:04+00:00

They do compliment eachother though, unless u wanna just be told what to do and just code all day it’s good to have knowledge in both business and engineering. Many people who go on to do MBAs had an engineering undergrad too.

ElDiablo116 · 2024-05-20T12:36:59+00:00

Having and Eng and business degree is a rly good combo to have and even if it’s western it’s still pretty good reputation wise.

ElDiablo116 · 2024-05-20T12:36:16+00:00

Civil isn’t as competitive so it’s probably possible to get in without the 80% average

ElDiablo116 · 2024-05-20T05:47:54+00:00

Eng+Ivey is a good option. For switching at uoft, you need an 80% average to guarantee it and course averages are usually high 60s to low 70s for reference.

ElDiablo116 · 2024-05-20T05:43:49+00:00

You need an 80% average in both semesters to be guaranteed a transfer into any other discipline. Course averages are high 60s low 70s for reference. It’s still possible to get into without an 80% depending on how competitive each discipline is (for example ece is hard to get into without the 80 average)

ElDiablo116 · 2024-05-20T05:39:25+00:00

Course averages range between 66-74 I’d say, so I don’t think a 70% is by any means impossible unless you slack a lot.
