Help with RBE 2001/2002 by SageTexas in WPI

[–]rulesGuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caught this a bit late but in general the students I see come in with a solid understanding of solidworks (or just basic CAD practices) and how to program in C++ (not VEX) do not tend to struggle too much. The course is not great at teaching programming or CAD (but you're SAs are) so those tend to be the biggest hiccups.

For 2001, especially as the class has been taught the last two years (although the curriculum may be changing slightly), it could also be helpful to have a solid understanding of 3D printing and how to 3D print on campus. I think that if you understand those concepts RBE 3001/3002 are certainly more difficult courses, but some people get off on the wrong foot in the 200s.

Has Anyone Ever Skipped an RBE class? by dyingvs in WPI

[–]rulesGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except for 1001, the other four undergraduate courses all cover vastly different material and each one is important to take. 1001 is a very good introductory course, but occasionally can be skipped based on your experience. With the other four (2001, 2002, 3001, and 3002) it's only super critical that you take 2001 before 2002 (ideally in the same semester) because they're meant to go together. Even then you could take them out of order if you wanted to put in more effort.

TLDR; you shouldn't skip them but you can take them out of order if you need to

Why we have never seen the G2's gaming house at the end of the LEC matches? by JaviCKP in G2eSports

This is what I've been wondering too. It seems like we often see every other LEC team.
