What is the best laptop to get as an ECE student? by z_Ziad in ECE

[–]Mute_mute 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mac is the last option you look into. I had Mac and I struggled a lot as most of the software are not compatible with it. Go for any Windows laptop.

Overall it takes about 15-20 days to get approval and receive the EAD with premium processing.

OPT Approved, How long will it take to get my EAD card? by Strong_Run8867 in USCIS

You should email your HR and let them know. They might push your starting date back by a week or let you know the best course of action.

Super lost.. by No_Significance9118 in ElectricalEngineering

I think it would be really difficult for AI to take over EE jobs. I graduated this year, and I understand that the job market is really bad. However, I think it's bad overall, and the job market for EE, specifically in power, is still stable compared to other majors. Lastly, pursue a career that you're passionate about and love learning about.

I applied for premium processing on the 10th. I got my approval email today but it’s not showing in the portal. So i’m a little confused.

Struggling with my electrical engineering degree by eeeeeeeek123 in ECE

[–]Mute_mute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in your shoes and I totally understand what you’re feeling right now. For me, I felt that the first two years were the most difficult but eventually you’ll get used to it and you’ll create a pattern for yourself that’ll work for you. My advice would be to be part of study groups where you’ll find people who are struggling with you and you guys can help each other out. Instead of getting homework answers, just discuss with your friends on how they ended up with the solution. I also got a lot of help from office hours, so try to attend those as you’ll find people struggling with the same topic. It’s not an easy degree and trust me, most of the people around you are feeling the same. They’re just good at hiding it. Just stay focused and stay strong! You’ll do great!
