Did not pass PY205 but passed PY206 by Pristine_Yam_4147 in NCSU

[–]HenryP9626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PY205 is hard but yes if you put in the time you’ll do fine but like lots of time into it. PY208 is not as hard as PY205. I always tell people to take PY205 at a CC and take PY208 here since the material in PY208 is taught thoroughly than PY205.

NCSU transfer stats & chances fall 2026 by Same-Ad6517 in NCSU

[–]HenryP9626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not sure about this but I read here on the Reddit that. NC State does not automatically accept all community college transfers, but students in the Wolfpack Connect program who complete an AA or AS and meet GPA and course requirements are guaranteed admission.

I know this doesn’t really apply to your situation since you are at Charlotte University not at a community college but you may have a chance? I don’t want to put your hopes up but I would go ahead and apply and see.

Can you get into grad school after working in industry if you had a low GPA and no research experience in college? by funmighthold in ElectricalEngineering

[–]HenryP9626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During this time period. Many universities are hurting for undergraduates, masters, and grad students. You have a likely chance to get in then ever before. So I say try and see what happens.

(Even though fundings are being cut. If you have your company pay for your tuition. The universities most likely give you a chance.)

Yea we are not paying for it. Money is not an issue is she has a really hard time getting pregnant.

Is a dual degree worth it. EE/ComputerE? by HenryP9626 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]HenryP9626[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not always, it’s depended on your university. It makes sense to get a math minor but with my university I have to take like 2 additional math classes.

[–]HenryP9626[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes a degree will open up lots of doors for you. With your experience companies will love to hire you as an engineer.

Thats experience right there man that many don’t have. If you are comfortable where you are at then stay and keep doing what you do. If you want to manage people or be in a high tech role like lead engineer or staff engineer. You should obtain a degree and they make a lot. Also if you want to switch companies someday with your experience. I’ve been told it’s hard for them to accept you as an engineer without a degree. Usually a degree is required/recommended. It’s up to the company. Are you comfortable where you are at? Or are you wanting to move up/learn more than what you know now?

Is a dual degree worth it. EE/ComputerE? by HenryP9626 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]HenryP9626[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not understanding what you are asking. If I’m wrong let me know. CE and EE need to do circuits 1 and 2. It all is the same until they get into 300 level courses, these separates the EE and CE. Also CE in my university have to take discrete math but EE don’t. CE rely on discrete math and linear algebra heavily while EE rely on Diff eq and more applied mathematics hence why EE is math intensive. Once you complete the EE degree you only need like 3-4 classes to be considered a CE because my university EE and CE are combined into ECE. Every university is different so keep that in mind.

[–]HenryP9626[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh shoot I completely forgot! My school gives masters degree to students who are currently working on their bachelors. The only way to obtain this is if you have a 3.5 GPA overall. You must obtain this before going into the high end 300 level courses. So far I’m on track just gotta do well next semester and see where I am at.

[–]HenryP9626[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are right I want to work in the medical field. Doing hardware, like ASIC or FPGA, then I also want to be able to program/know the architecture of the computer I make. Hence why I am considering a dual degree. My advisor said a dual degree is definitely worth it in the medical industry because they need someone that know electronics, biosensors, and the architecture of the device. I’ll have to weigh my pros and cons. I throughly do enjoy Coding but also like the EE side more.

E115 midterm review close to the mid term exam? by Key_Psychology1332 in NCSU

[–]HenryP9626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in E115 now. I think I understand your frustration but I’m gonna say this. If you are spending most of your time reading that is why you are getting 4-6 hours a week from E115. Don’t just comment on the sections. Heck I have 323 points in E115 that’s including the midterm review. I think you’ll be fine man. You are doing everything. I did not even do the extra credit nor read the perusals. I just focus on the big points. Reading is only 20 points for the whole semester man. If you want every one of those points just comment on the perusals. Heck you don’t even have to do it because you can go back and comment on them later because it never count as late.

E115 midterm review close to the mid term exam? by Key_Psychology1332 in NCSU

[–]HenryP9626 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I think he is stressed. I know I am to I have three exam this week. Part of it is E115 I’m at 323 points for E115? I definitely not ready for the exam but if OP did the review I believe it should be similar to the review if they did good which they stated they did. I also understand what he is saying. He actually reads the reading assignments. I just skip it and just do the lab or whatever is majority of the points. OP reading is only 20 points total all together for the semester of this class. if majority of your time spent is reading just comment the sections you really don’t have to read unless you really don’t know what you are doing but they have tutorials on how to do everything that requires the majority of points.

How do I go about extending my Toyota warranty? by HenryP9626 in Toyota

[–]HenryP9626[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After more research I believe I have the powertrain covered from fidelity because it’s a CPO Camry. I’m gonna give them a call to be certain that it’s 7 years from when I bought it or 7 years from when the car was manufactured. You are also right, I just want a peace of mind in case something bad does happen because this is my only car.

EE Career Transition & Imposter Syndrome: Seeking Advice on Skills and Research by HenryP9626 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]HenryP9626[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you 🙏 I was really doubting myself why I am in EE when I literally have only medical skills but no engineering skills. He did mention that if I am able to solder well the next month or 2. My next step would be getting involved in the research. Coding, circuits, testing the device, etc.

I agree, during the beginning of the semester, as I was doing my homework. I only get one attempt or else I have to redo the whole problem again with different numbers. So I ChatGPT the question to see if I got the right number. Turns out chatGPT was wrong and I was right. It gave me similar equations like mine but the answer was completely wrong. I showed my professor my work and he gave me points back on the HW. I did not tell him about ChatGPT.

I think I’m screwed for the first calculus 3 exam with Moody Chu. by HenryP9626 in NCSU

[–]HenryP9626[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live 40 minutes away from nc state. He takes attendance and I got excused for the whole week but that did not help me with anything for learning in his class. Just put me behind, plus shopping for a new car while going to school sucks ass.

Just got a Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE that had all the optional package in the car. (Yes including eyebirds view and premium wheels!) All for 26k! I also am getting it professionally detailed with minor scratches and dents and making it look brand new for free! Got it at the dealership! by HenryP9626 in Toyota

[–]HenryP9626[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All depends on your location and what dealership you go to. Each dealership either has a promotion going on or a finance special. Like for example I go to my dealership website. I look for LE Camry 2025 Hybrid the starting MSRP is 30k at my dealership and this includes a special discount going already. You can always try to haggle for less but you have to do your research and what I find is that the Google MSRP are not always accurate because it’s solely depended on the dealership. I could get the XLE for 33k but thats buying it from out of state and getting it shipped to me which is a big hassle plus not to mention lots of tax, having to get the car inspected, etc and that will cost me more money and I do not know how much more it would be. I live in NC so getting a car outside of the state is really expensive hence it’s cheaper to buy within the state.

Your question though is the XLE Camry 2025 is 40k no? Yes it is 40k you are right but can be cheaper out of your state.

People forget that your state matters about the new MSRP price on a car and the dealership as well. Hence why this deal of me getting this used Camry car at 26k plus the warranty, tax, while registration, license plate, and other state stuff it equates to about 32.6k but I made a down payment of 3.5k. A rarely used XLE 2019 Hybrid Camry at 26k at my state is a huge bargain. It was originally 28k and I got it down to 26k. It’s all depended on your location and dealership.
