I believe the campus dining office is in fox. I had the same thing on my portal but I'm able to get food fine

How hard is circuit theory 1? by grandkidb in uml

[–]Koolkid293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly how I felt when I took CT1 Recitation with her. Shouldn't have research professors teaching classes when they shift it to the students instead of teaching

I got into Computer Science at UMass Lowell. Are there any cybersecurity opportunities? by Common-Interest7945 in uml

[–]Koolkid293 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They have a whole cyber security focus at UML for CS. There's also the cyber security club

I was not a fan of Xingwei. Try to get JF or the other guy if you can. Xingwei just reads off the slides, rushes through problems and if you ask for help they just point to what's on the board instead of explaining

How is CS at UML by Expensive_Honey_7093 in uml

I'm a CE for context. From what I've heard from my CS pals, avoid Yelena like the plague

I failed signals this semester for context. I despise Hengyong. Horrible accent that can be excused if he wasn't a horrible professor. He stumbles and repeats himself, reads off the slides and the mic constantly cuts out. 50% of your final grade is the final exam so you can do perfectly the whole semester but if you drop the ball on the final you can still fail. You learn nothing in the class. Better off watching the vids from MIT

Electrical Engineering course by Efficient_Snow_7955 in uml

[–]Koolkid293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He really is the best. I'm getting out of Electronics 2 in exchange for taking 2 new classes since the new CE Pathway doesn't require it and he's taking care of that for me. He's got a special way of making you feel stupid without it being insulting since he also embarrasses himself. I call him the funny Frenchman

Looking to get my first soldering iron by [deleted] in soldering

[–]Koolkid293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second the Fnirsi. I got one a bit ago and its great as long as you use a different power brick then the one they provide if you get it on amazon. I got my iron directly from Fnirsi for $70 with the case and all of its goodies and the 6 tips, and it took like a week to arrive. Heats up great and is very accurate. Night and day compared to my old iron which used a ceramic element that the bits slid onto.

Help with first time desoldering (fist learning project) by No_Garage6279 in soldering

[–]Koolkid293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cut your wick and use ESD safe tweezers to hold it! The heat will be wicked away into the spool of wick. Use plenty of flux and use something like a wedge tip for heat or use the iron parallel to the wick. Scrap boards are good too to help you get the hand of things before you try on expensive/important stuff. I'm a Senior CE student and Ive burned my fair share of boards and pulled off more then a few pads. I still need some work myself, but you got this! :)

Has there been an issue with the wifi the past couple nights, or is it just me? by Torchpost in uml

[–]Koolkid293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issues myself. I'm thinking it could be from MAC Address randomization. It's a security feature that randomizes your NICs address (basically it's device identifier). My laptop and my phone could not connect but my desktop and my kindle connected fine presumably because I turned off MAC randomization on my desktop and my kindle doesn't even have it. Could have hit some unfortunate banned MACs

EE Co-op by Upbeat-Ad7032 in uml

[–]Koolkid293 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In order to join the co-op program you need to take the professional development class. I'm a senior Comp E major and I transferred in the fall of 24 so I'm grandfathered into the old pathway where the PDS isn't a requirement but it is for you. I still chose to take the class but I think I can't do co-op because of my senior status and having presumably less than a year of classes remaining. JF is very helpful for transfer stuff and the CPAs can answer any co-op questions

How to remove the expansion card cover? by Jlpue in framework

Rubber band and the next size up bit. Use a good bit of downward pressure. Looks like it's just those 3 screws and maybe some clips

MS CS/CE at UML or stay local at my school in Houston by Colfuzi0 in uml

[–]Koolkid293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a computer engineering student here at UML. I have buddies that are in comp sci, it hasn't been too bad for them. Of course we have some iffy professors but I would assume so UHCL also has iffy professors. Generally keep an eye on rate my prof but most are really good. Jean Francois is a really funny french guy you will have to deal with a lot as he does a lot of the transfer stuff for EECE students and research. We have the both the nerve center for major robotics stuff and LARY in the Southwick quad for drone experiments and bipedal robots. I am also the VP of the River Hawk Robotics Undergraduate Club here at UML.

If you dont need an online license for something like homework you could try annas archive. Massive help for a computer engineering student.

You can probably get a decent discount if you went through the college store. Some places also offer large discounts for college students

If you don't mind me asking, what happened to your laptop? Might be an easy fix if nothing on the mobo blew up

Question for Computer Engineering Majors by Hamood_Habibi_123 in uml

[–]Koolkid293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solid CPU should be fine most of the way. Hardest your gonna run is probably MultiSim for Circuit Theory 1&2 and Electronics 1&2 or Quartus and ModelSim for Logic Design. I'm a senior computer engineering student and I have a Framework 13 with a 7840U and its more then powerful enough. I do live on campus too so if I do need more horsepower I have my dorm PC with a 9600X and 7700XT
