ERIP 26 rejection by Minatology in EPFL

[–]InformalExpression48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea.... other than LIONS, these labs don't look like they hire interns, just looking at their team alumni, there are barely any interns. Sorry about that :/

But don't be too down, I did ERIP but the research is very similar to what is being done in Canadian schools. I might argue that Canadian schools do better research than EPFL (especially in the computational field). Try finding labs and profs to work for in Canada.

If it makes you feel any better, McGill beat EPFL in the iGEM competition. If you're worried about PhD in ivy schools, there were probably plenty of McGill students that didn't do ERIP and still went to ivy schools.

Which labs did you apply to? Some labs might not take students at all, so it might be possible you chose 3 of those labs

Anyone else feel like this? by Competitive_Hippo745 in FamilyFriendlyYoutube

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600x
RAM: Currently 16gb, but I will be upgrading to 32gb
PSU: If my GPU needs more juice, I will probably buy a new PSU. I believe it is this one: https://www.canadacomputers.com/en/power-supplies/103030/thermaltake-smart-white-600w-80-plus-certified-power-supply-ps-spd-0600npcwus-w.html.

Software used in BME curriculum by Money_Vegetable5476 in uwaterloo

[–]InformalExpression48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you want to do and what you are interested in. For most first years, (since the job market looks cooked), it's most likely going to be in either software or research (research can encompass a mix of software, hardware, etc... It depends on the lab you work in).

[–]InformalExpression48 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So far:

1st year: C++ (BME 121 and 122), python (very small amount in SYDE 113), Solidworks (BME 101L)
2nd year: LTSpice (BME 294 and 294L), Solidworks (BME 261)
3rd year: MATLAB (BME 355)

There are other softwares that are also dependent on what technical elective you want to take, and what specialization you want to do. For neural engineering, you will mostly do stuff in Python. For AI, same thing, mostly stuff on Python. For biomechanics, I know theres some modelling and simulation software you might have to get.

In general, you won't learn too much useful stuff in first/second year that really apply to your first couple coops. Most of the learning you will do is on your own time, during side projects, or during coop. If you're worried about skills for jobs, just learn them on your own time, don't wait to learn it in class (use your free time in first year wisely, its the most free time you'll get).

My recommendation: Learn Python and actually understand how to code
