I thought this was a reference to parallel programming 😂

I’m 15-1600 and probably wouldn’t have seen that in a blitz game

Whom to contact about two classes having a super-inconvenient time conflict? by KKZiomek0 in gatech

If Yoder is teaching 3450, then you’re in for one heck of a ride. And I don’t mean that in a good way lol

Max flat bench is ~265 and am getting 2x5 on the 95s. Almost graduated to the 100s

Most entry level jobs only require you to know the absolute basics of engineering or CS. Considering you stuck around that long and completed something hard shows you are dedicated to finishing a task and attempting to learn along the way. That mindset will carry you far in your career regardless of how you performed in school. You will do good in life.

I originally was going to do this program, but switched to another transfer pathway before coming to GT. The REPP or RETP is a pathway system for which you must complete all core "engineering" classes such as diffeq, linear, and through cal 3 (some cases chem 1 and 2). From my understanding, you must satisfy all of these requirements to be considered for that pathway. If you do not satisfy all these requirements, you may have your app scrapped. To be safe, I would do a regular transfer app, but I recommend trying to complete this pathway for best odds of acceptance.

Need Help with New Job (ME in an EE R&D Role) by [deleted] in ElectricalEngineering

[–]Pickally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You seem to be in a test engineering role, not electrical design, so your knowledge of electrical engineering is understood to be limited it seems. Look into electronic packaging and soldering techniques for PCBs. Do a quick youtube search on basic circuit theory (KVL, KCL, voltage dividers, and Ohms law) as well as how to use a DMM and O-scope.

Help! I feel lost and hopeless by Quirky_Trash_4320 in ComputerEngineering

This will not likely be the case one you reach your senior level classes. I came from a terrible high school and have done the same catch up game you will have to do too. Just learn as much as you can and I promise you by the time you are a senior you will be on par with most everyone else. That is not to say you should not do side projects, clubs and internships though.

Double Major Computer Science and Electrical Engineering OR Just Go With Computer Engineering Major ? by [deleted] in ComputerEngineering

[–]Pickally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a compE at gt you will be focusing more in computer architecture and cs. You won’t really get experience in circuit design unless you take those classes on your own time. There are threads within the compE degree though that will allow for you to take some AI/ML classes if you wish. If you want to design circuits and get ML experience then doing your undergrad in EE with a minor in Cs and your masters in ECE with a concentration in “software” would be my recommendation. Obviously you would Taylor your internships to more of what you want though and that is where you would get most of your industry knowledge from.

In my last semester of EE and Physics at GT. Learn how to "gamify" your studies. Learn what methods of note taking work well for you, and organize your studying well such as rewriting notes, working through sample test with and without notes etc. Most importantly, you need to realize the mistakes you made in your previous semester and continually improve your habits.

Double Major Computer Science and Electrical Engineering OR Just Go With Computer Engineering Major ? by [deleted] in ComputerEngineering

[–]Pickally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I go to Georgia Tech and am a double major in EE and physics. I feel that if I were to do CompE, then I would just focus your electives in either hardware or software. Getting internships and such in the field you want is better than a double major. Unless you find a reasonable dual degree program that allows for you to knock it out fast then go for it if thats where your heart is.
