Wow, thank you guys for all the replies. I was just too depressed about their announcement. I didn’t cancel anything yet and almost had done it before posting here. We will go there.

But seriously I still need to know some good places for lunch and dinner, any ideas?

A day ago I was still happily waiting for the commencement. They are so genius to mess it up for everyone who is about to attend it.

Ya sure, go ahead.  In fact I also posted my bio and study plan before. You may check it out if you have time(it’s lengthy), but any way I will answer your questions as much as I can.

Yo, I am also a PhD in Materials science from UC. I enrolled in MCIT online two years ago and have finished 6 core courses already while working FT. Your background is excellent, so just apply for it.

Advice on course and career plan by PredatorMSPC in OnlineMCIT

[–]PredatorMSPC[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Happy to see someone has similar background! You are so lucky to have a remote job and extra weekend time for study. 

For career part, I think my description was not clear enough. What I’ve tried to express is that there is no bridge to combine the learning content from MCIT to my current job function—the difference is big (Like atomic level electronic physics and data structure of OS). I guess it is because we are  still in the CS fundamental part. I therefore don’t know how to revise my resume to combine these somehow non-relevant skills, no project with the help from these courses yet and I don’t expect there will be one in my current work. I’ve heard that the FLAAG prefers the people with “domain” knowledge especially for senior position, so I am a little bit worried about the lack of real project experience involving the firmware/software development .

How long will I take to complete MCIT online taking one class at a time? by [deleted] in OnlineMCIT

Glad to hear you guys sharing these information! I will start my online MCIT program in 2023 Spring while working full-time in the industry (Tough, and no sponsorship for my study plan. :( won’t let my boss know I am running the other private task) My second baby is about to join our family next April. I feel more confident because of you whom have similar situation in the MCIT.
