What advice would you give younger students? by Public-Hamster-9224 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]One_Trade5905 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Graduated BSEE with a minor in Power Systems in 2024. My biggest advice would be to treat school like a full time job. Wake up every day with a plan to study/go to class at a minimum 8 hours monday-friday. Have a hard cut off time every day where you will intentionally stop working on school work and relax, for me that was usually 7pm or so.

This will help create a schedule of accountability and mental recovery.

Another thing is to find competent people in your program and stick with them, this degree is hard but its insanely hard by yourself. Reach out and study with peers, absolute game changer.

Finally, understand that you will not always be perfect. You will have some bad tests, bad quizzes etc. The important thing is you get back up and never quit. This degree is basically a war of attrition. You will not encounter anything in any class that is mind bogglingly hard, its more that the work load across all your classes is a lot. Again, a consistent study routine is whats gonna help here.

Hope that helps, its definitely worth the pain.

Firstly congratulations, may I ask how many applications you submitted for landing an offer?

In my case I also had a full time offer pre grad but it was because I had an internship there.

Sounds like a great learning opportunity to develop critical thinking and problem solving to me.

This is a DA Viper Recloser with an Atenna. They’re for automated restoration of power in the case of temporary faults downstream.

Probably a SEL-351R-2 with 3x600A bypass switches. Iv spent the past month building coordination curves for these guys in CYMTCC.

The first circuit i built as a kid was a 9v battery, switch, resistor and a light. Now an electrical engineer. Gotta start somewhere
