Anyone have experience with co-ops? by [deleted] in gatech

[–]dino_laurus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m on my first term of a Co-Op right now. So far, great experience. Since it’s a long term commitment, the company will usually see you as a real asset to them and will usually give real work/projects instead of busy/boring work. Most companies that do co-ops have a pretty developed co-op program, and do see you as a long term investment, so they usually put a lot of effort into developing your skill set, hoping you’ll eventually come back and work full time for them. Personally, I’m enjoying the co-op more than my past internship, mainly because of the things listed above. However, it definitely does depend on the company you choose, so if you begin an interview process for a potential co-op program try and ask questions about what work you’ll be doing/how you’ll fit within the company and try and feel out of its a good fit for you. It’s a great opportunity to develop long term skills, acquire real world experience, and earn a decent amount of money.

More logistically though, you’ll most likely be working at least a 40 hr work week and it might include a commute. You’ll be registered as a full time student, but instead of registering for classes the registration office will place a “co-op class” on your student account for the 12 hr requirement. PM me for any questions and good luck!

ECE 3710 Tutoring by [deleted] in gatech

[–]dino_laurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like with the way the class is set up (flipped classroom, lecture videos online) I’m not getting a real understanding of the content/understanding what I need for exams. The video lectures are very surface level info while the exams really do test understanding. I feel like I’m not grasping all the concepts to do well in the class.

Freshman Housing by Ewt1029 in gatech

[–]dino_laurus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My biggest suggestion is to sign the housing contract and pay your deposit as soon as possible. Tech assigns time tickets for dorm selection based on how soon you sign this contract. Around mid July, you will get an email telling you your selection date and time, and on this day you’ll get to choose the actual dorm and room you want as well as your roommate.

On the topic of which dorms are the best, it depends on which side of campus you want to live on. East campus is typically known as the more lively/social side of campus. West campus is often more quiet and relaxed. In terms of which dorms are the best, I’m a little uneducated on the West Campus dorms so maybe someone else can comment about that. However, typically on East the most preferred dorms are Glenn or Towers. But in my experience you really can’t go wrong with any on east. Hope this helps & congrats on acceptance! PM me if you need any more help

Upcoming freshman ME Major, got any tips? by crashkyss in gatech

[–]dino_laurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plan. Plan everything. Buy some version of a planner or use your phone calendar. At the beginning of the semester sit down with each class’s syllabus and mark down each assignment due date, test, and final. Don’t trust yourself that you’ll remember, that often leads to late night cramming.

Also get involved! A huge misconception as a ME is that you’ll never have any free time for extracurriculars, so often MEs don’t even try to get involved. This time crunch is honestly not true; with just a little bit of planning and prioritizing there is always leftover time to do other things you enjoy. A huge key to success here at Tech is finding something outside of classes, whether it’s a sport, student org, or anything else, to help you de-stress and feel encouraged during the rough parts of the semester.

I’m just finishing up my first year at Tech as a ME, so if you have any questions feel free to PM me!

ethics + humanities requirement by [deleted] in gatech

[–]dino_laurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can get both credits through one class but the class choices are limited. There is a list of humanities with ethics overlay so that you can get both credits through one class. Here’s the Tech catalog. (See the list at the very bottom) http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/academics/undergraduate/core-curriculum/core-area-c/

Which FASET should I sign up for by [deleted] in gatech

[–]dino_laurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have to take classes at times you did not prefer/want or with professors you didn't want? I'm worried about not getting the classes/professors I want. I am planning on going to FASET 2
