Previous thread:>>10052323

>Is X a meme major?
Unless it is Biomedical, Mechatronics, or Systems Engineering your major XE major is not a “meme”. Additional meme majors include chemical and nuclear engineers. They are challenging degrees but there are just not enough jobs to keep up with graduating students. Many bitter anons in these threads are ChemE students or unemployed ChemE graduates.

>Why is Mechatronics or Bio Engineering a meme degree?
They are often very shallow degrees at the undergraduate level. Students end up becoming a master of none and are outclassed by the more common disciplines. For the longest period of time these courses were only Master/PHD opportunities. A good undergraduate program is very rare for either discipline. Your meme state school isn’t one of those programs.

>I can’t find a job
What is your GPA? What is your experience? Is your resume shit? Do you interview well? When did you start looking?
>GPA
A GPA of 3.0 is the bare minimum for most companies.
>Experience
Experience is helpful but is not needed to get a job. You will have a much tougher time though and will need to grind out applications. College clubs and personal projects are good ways to get at least some experience if it is not professional experience.
>Resume
Post your resume if you want it to be reviewed. Try and quantify actions at your job, don’t just list your responsibilities. If you have no professional experience emphasize your school projects/clubs/personal projects.
>Interviewing
It helps to practice and write down your answers to question that you think you will be asked. Using Glassdoors can be helpful when trying to figure out what kind of questions specific companies ask.
>Candidate
You don’t need to be a 3.9 GPA, 3 internship, non white student to get a job in Engineering. Just keep in mind Apple/Boeing/Broadcom/Google/Intel/etc, don’t generally hire <3.0 GPA no experience autists that are incapable of talking to other human beings.

You will make it!

Calculus I is an essential class for engineering.

You probably would want to retake it in any case. You just can't survive without it in an engineering program.

An MS is honestly a weird thing. It puts you in a strange place if you don't have the research/real world experience to back up the degree, since it generally means companies will have to pay you more, but won't offer starting positions if they can get someone cheaper.

I’m studying EE rn and have a 3.1 despite getting straigt C’s in math and physics but don’t have shit social skills. I know a lot of people in me and ce with below s 3.0, like <3.0, >2.7 who’ve been offered internships and opportunities because they can actually converse and interact with higher ups like a capable non autistic human being.

I don't care if you're a freshman or a fifth year student about to graduate: switch right fucking now and don't look back.

[Anonymous No.10078788]

>>10078783
sounds like complete bs
most people don't go into jobs that explicitly say "entry level", especially when they had an internship before hand

There's really no way to know because the internal positions of each company isn't very public, nor is it standardized.

You are only as retarded as you let yourself be. Basically what I mean is that people talk a lot about "x degree is a meme because its not muh ideal degree" if you do well in undergrad you can land a really good internship at a company. If you prove you're not a lazy retard during your internship youre pretty much golden. Just learn as much about the industry you want to be in as possible and try to tailor your undergrad career towards that. Companies always ask about why you want to do their dumb job and it's easy to convince them that you are serious about being in their industry if you have the resume to prove it. The pharma industry is big and isn't going anywhere that's a good area to look into. Make some connections and don't be afraid to ask people for favors. If people know you aren't an idiot they will see it as you having ambition and wanting to succeed. Apply for jobs months before you finish any degree and apply for shit loads of them.

Bio anything is exceedingly competitive. You are basically picking Nightmare Mode in terms of how difficult it’s going to be in order to succeed, both in and out of school. You pretty much need a masters just to be at parity with your peers.

that's not related to what he said though and what he said is true - if you can't get an internship your post-BS job prospects are significantly harmed. if you're not willing to relocate your job prospects are further damaged

I agree that it shouldn't have been worded as if it were 100% true, but it definitely can make the job search substantially harder if one doesn't have an internship/co-op or any prior engineering experience
This issue can be even further magnified if one is tied down to just one area, like the other anon said

EE think they're big shit exclusively because they have absolutely no knowledge of other engineering disciplines, as a result, they think that electromagnetism is the hardest and most difficult class in all of undergrad, and that they invented complex numbers.

I'm not exaggerating in one bit.

I can only speak for academia, and even then it depends on the group you are in and what the PI expects. I enjoy my research though since I find it interesting, started the project myself, and have lots of flexibility with how I take it.

Question for EE: Is it generally better to use the cursors on an oscilloscope to measure the wave, or to let the scope do the measurements automatically?

[Anonymous No.10082678]

>>10082653
use the cursors, trust me
they'll be infinitely more valuable than counting ticks

even if the scope can automatically give measurements, the cursors work much better in my experience, and the error it has is negligible

do NOT try to count ticks, you'll fuck up

[Anonymous No.10082681]

>>10082678
What do you mean by ticks? The actual lines on the screen?

[Anonymous No.10082684]

>>10082681
yeah i mean using the step size and the lines on the axes to count the phase shift
the cursors are more accurate than your counting will ever be

as far as Vpeak and other such measurements go though, you're fine using the measured value so long as it's a normal curve and doesn't have odd function components
