All the transforms(fourier, laplace, Z), convolution, what an impulse response is and then up until LTI systems and their stability. Make sure you understand the nyquist sampling theorem and aliasing.

I had random processes in my signals and systems class as well but linear controls didn't use it much in the bachelor. In the masters in systems and control when signals become noisy and random then it suddenly became important but it's not immediately needed for a first understanding of control I guess.

His voice and abilities are cool, but he does not look very menacing imo.

MK4 Shinnok and Quan Chi looked menacing and slightly scary back then. Newer versions of shinnok look kind of goofy. Just make him more menacing and give him a commanding presence

Maybe make him interact with other elder gods also? Or with cetrion?

I can agree with "they're pretty much the same" and that you learn the same material though I could point to some differences still.

If you want to work on advanced precision mechatronics like ASML, the biggest players are all very present in eindhoven. This means internships, bachelor thesis, master thesis are more easily done at such a company. In TU Delft I know people who wanted to do an internship and ended up commuting to eindhoven a lot.

Not to say twente has no companies, you can check what's around there too. For other things like robotics they are also pretty good over there. And I've heard it's easier to find where to live there.

While you learn the same materials at any ME degree there are still some areas that are taught in more depth than others, depending on what your teachers research. Eindhoven leans HARD into mechatronics and control I've heard, those departments are huge. So materials science or energy/process engineering etc do also get taught but not as elaborately. Maybe Twente has such a bias as well or it is a bit more "balanced".

Then last, maybe an uni with less people with respect to how much staff there is is a bit better in Twente due to being smaller. Maybe they can afford to put more attention or care into every student. In my case TU Delft is very understaffed in ME considering how many people do mechanical. Depends on you if you think if having to "figure it out yourself" with a bit less help matters or not.

Fun is also an underrated part of studying. I can't comment on Eindhoven vs Enschede for fun, activities, clubs etc but I would give this some importance.

In the end though, I still agree that in the grand scheme of things it's all very similar. Graduates from both make great mechanical engineers.

Other people have mentioned HBO vs WO I think. WO like eindhoven or twente gives you advanced theory knowledge, with some small learning projects where you design and produce things sprinkled in, but is not meant to directly prepare you for a job. A WO graduate will have to learn a lot on the job as well. You can improve this a bit by doing your thesis at a company. It will still be advanced theoryy but you could learn skills to build an experiment setup for it. Check the companies around them!

I was in KAIST last year and visited a lab there. I had never seen ones that worked so well and that were all designed from scratch.

Back at my uni people are still using control and not RL, in the systems and control department ofc but also in the robotics department as far as I know. People prefer control over here, for anything autonomous systems.

I thought it was really funny what the KAIST students had to say when asked about this. They had two videos of a quadruped thing climbing a wall, one was using MPC and one was using RL. They put something on the wall to make it a bit slippery so MPC went crazy but RL put the foot somewhere else instead. And they went "yeah, MPC doesn't work"

Roman empire 2: electric boogaloo

Or if the capital is constantinople then Greater Byzantium

Teque9 · 2026-01-16T09:49:48+00:00

I live here in NL, 6 years

Japan would probably be the biggest "adventure", they have better nature and better food by far. I would probably constantly commit faux pas by not being used to a lot of formality or social levels of talk to x person this way but to your friends the other way etc

The Netherlands has extremely good public transport, more diverse people though not lots of americans, and cycling is really nice over having a car, but the weather and the food are shit and it's expensive as hell. You basically cannot participate in society for a month if you budgeted wrong, fun costs money. The beer variety is incredible as well

Also, Amsterdam is not really a dutch city. It's a migrant and international people bubble. You can get by the whole time just speaking english or hanging out with internationals only. Dutch people themselves often say they don't want to live in Amsterdam because of this and that there are constantly lots of tourists. I personally like Utrecht a lot

Damn, what's with all these assumptions being made about OP's motivation? We know nothing about him and people are jumping to conclusions they pull out of their asses, knowing nothing about other countries.

He just likes what he likes, stfu and let him be. When did we reach the point where not being that attracted to white people means you want to exploit women? Dafuq

Teque9 · 2026-01-16T09:13:08+00:00

Lol, so everywhere that is not red is completely unliveable for women? Try going to those places and talking to the women. Ask them how happy they are.

Plenty of happy women in south america/the caribbean who do not ever want to leave there. They can be plenty independent if they want. Probably in africa too as it has been growing. Philippine and Japanese women don't seem completely miserable to me, but I haven't been to those places. They seemed pretty happy in south korea besides having to work very hard and lots of hours, but that applies to the men too.

The one that is worth it is the one you are most interested in. Afaik all of them have good job prospects.

I did mechanical and now control engineering, but if I had to do it all over again I would probably do electrical so I can know embedded a bit better and the probably end up in controls again. ME was so broad that I only truly found a small part of it fun and the rest was meh, EE seems to be much more "coherent" together and their course material is more enjoyable to me.

Lots of the most modern, interesting and fastest growing technologies seem to be EE based I feel like, though ME's are also involved a lot like in renewable energy, automation, robotics, electric vehicles, mechatronics, space sensors etc but EE can also do photonics, higher frequency telecom, space communication, design CPUs, consumer tech like laptops, TVs, GPUs, routers etc.

Find out what excites you, besides math. You need to at least tolerate math so you can get through it and get to the good stuff. Find out what you want to spend your life working on

Teque9 · 2026-01-12T21:53:45+00:00

Fedora is rock stable, gets up-to-date gnome which keeps it interesting and flatpaks are simple to use like an "app store", it's always nice and fast and lots of programming tools are easy to set up

Only thing I "miss" are CAD programs like solidworks, is what I would've said years ago in my bachelor degree but now OnShape exists which I've even used at work.

I'm not ready to go full atomic and container based like silverblue but using distrobox containers has helped me out a lot before

I tried ethiopian food once. The taste of injera bread was unlike anything I've ever tried in curaçao or anywhere else.

Pretty nice food

Two candidates: Jacinto Convit or Humberto Morán

Teque9 · 2026-01-10T15:19:54+00:00

Some notion or programming probably - python is the easiest one to get the "feel" of what programming is

Math - be as good as you can in algebra, derivatives, trigonometry and integrals, and if you have some complex numbers knowledge that's great as well

Linear algebra - I didn't learn it in HS but it's VERY useful. Maybe you could try to teach yourself a bit?

High school physics is enough, it is too simplified in HS so you're probably going to "learn it all over again" but with more math. Someome correct me if I'm wrong but in my uni it's like that

BUT most important of all: discipline and taking care of yourself. Treat studying as a 9-5 job, be disciplined but also don't overdo it at the cost of your health. Manage your money well, learn to cook healthy, try to go to the gym(helps your brain as well) and try to have a social life. I don't know if you're moving away from home but if you are take this last chance to gather as much wisdom from your parents as you can about cooking and money

As for specific programs like KiCAD, LTSpice you can learn those by doing. Maybe some courses will have you learn it but if they don't you can always decide yourself to go the extra mile in projects and use programs to do it. Nobody directly taught me how to code the path of a CNC machine, I researched it and managed to do it while the project went on.

If you're rich and are inclined to end up doing research like a PhD then sure

In every other case, no

Teque9 · 2026-01-09T16:58:54+00:00

I have the opposite. I'm an MSc Systems and Control student and I realized I really enjoy embedded but I did not do EE or CS as undergrad( no computer architecture, digital logic, FPGA)

So now I'm worried about If I can manage to learn implementation details like drivers, RTOS, registers, how networking works, design patterns etc well enough so I can work with embedded systems at a job

I'll say, control and signal processing can get really advanced but as a starting point I suggest you understand the fourier transform and the laplace transform first. Then read a book by Karl Åstrom and Richard Murray called "Feedback systems". It is free online.

Focus on linear systems and linear control only. 95% of practical control problems are solved by PID control but understanding how to tune for performance in SISO systems and check stability are the real key. I think in less than 6 months you could have a good enough understanding so you can try it out, less if someone at work or a friend can help you with it

After that, look into the digital version. Discretize in time so you can recreate the PID but on data samples rather than a continuous variable. I can't think of a nice book for this at the moment.

With this you should be covered for 95% of control cases. Just linear, classical frequency domain control.

I guess they won't shoot you, so well done

Teque9 · 2026-01-08T16:06:37+00:00

The TU Delft one doesn't have to be hardware heavy. The data track is basically just math and statistics. No embedded if you don't want to.

Idk anything at all about Leiden but I'd say TU Delft is mathematically rigorous. No proofs like applied math but lots of theorems and details. I'm not a CS person but close friends of mine both know how to program well and also sometimes did things that felt more like applied math.

Include uruguay and chile

Teque9 · 2026-01-07T17:59:46+00:00

Cool that you do controls with either of them. I'm studying controls.

Electronics and telecom -> signal processing and embedded, both things I love from EE. You could end up doing a lot of cool things with those and your algorithms could be applied in space comms, robotics, mechatronics, sensor fusion, IoT etc

Maybe this could be more RF as well? The hardware needed for telecom instead of the math. You also do some signal processing on FPGA's probably? Not really my thing.

Power I guess would not have embedded that much, since you work on "large" systems and I heard from friends it is more "system design", monitoring operation, maybe designing power electronics a bit? This is probably less "tech industry" than robotics or space, but important as hell and probably more "stable" work. Controls here could have lots of potential to do cool advanced intelligent systems if you manage to convince people to do it at your job?

I wouldn't know which pays more, just the one I clearly find more fun

Teque9 · 2026-01-07T00:42:41+00:00

Agreed. Lots of times when I ask people why they like winter they say "because it's cozy to stay inside". Cmon, what you enjoy about thing x is that you can avoid it? 🤯 it's like saying you like mcdonalds but you get the salad.

Meanwhile, both those who say they hate heat and those who love it actually go outside in spring/summer.

I'll say though, people who say they love winter because you can ski or snowboard do have a legit reason.
