My uni has one of the largest foreign student bodies, and there are lots of foreigners, but a lot fewer pajeets. Unfortunately most of those foreigners are Chinese. Literally I got lower grades in one of my classes for not being Azn. I kept asking the TA's why labs weren't 100%, and they would never answer, despite being the ones who graded them.

I passed my EE program, so there's that, but I still feel the degree isn't worth as much as it should be because there was so much bullshit going on (cheating, racism, shit classes, professors who literally told us to just copy from each other for homework). Even on our senior project, my three other project-mates did jack shit. One of them wrote ~1 page of python. Literally all the work they did. I had to stop a presentation to our "chaperone" because information on a slide was literally the opposite of what I told the person who typed it in. The project would have been easier if they left, because I wouldn't have expected things to be done that weren't.

Passed the phone interview and now I'm being flown out to another state for the in person interview on Tuesday I'm nervous bros. Phone interview was 30 minutes, this one should be 45 minutes. I think this company really wants to hire me.

I just had a preliminary interview with Lockheed Martin recruiter in my own state and they sent me an automated e-mail stating I moved on to the next stage of the hiring process and they will contact me for an actual interview this week, probably tomorrow. I'd much rather have the Lockheed job and I'm nervous the out of state job will give me a job offer before Lockheed does. I won't be able to turn it down because Lockheed could reject me and then I'd be fucked.

How long can I realistically delay once I get an offer from the out of state job? Would it be wise to tell Lockheed if they did give me an offer, and ask them if they could speed up their process somehow?

Grading is faster when you don't need to make comments. Final exams are always geared quickly as end of semester grades are due shortly. If the exam was multiple choice, I'm sure you did feel good about it. It is rare for students to know they didn't do well unless they end up with like a 20 or 30. You probably just feel for the trick answers and either didn't read the quarks carefully or know the technical details the question was targeting. If it was multiple choice, you cannot sweet talk your professor. Otherwise, it's possible to get some extra points in partial credit, but doubtful to be enough, especially if grades were due. From the professors perspective, it's a sort being for a formality to seem available to students but just passing the 20 minutes and deal with ends of semester crap, doesn't need another thing to wait around for you to nit pick every question until you're happy. It'll be short and the first few responses from the professor will be short and direct. Definitely don't pull any "I just need this one class to graduate" bullshit because that means you're a senior and still can't figure out how classes work and definitely don't deserve any flexibility.

Only way I've given points back is if the student shows how they're could have been a misinterpretation and explain what you meant and show competence in the material. In your case, that's probably making up something about what we marked wrong, but definitely know the answers to what was on the exam. It's going to be easier to have known the material previously, but good luck.

Yeah I am EE with a nearly identical experience. I don't really have any desire to take it up with any department heads, or challenge it because of two main reasons:

One, my TAs and professors being biased against whites hasn't cost me a letter grade so far. I've certainly been denied a lot of points on labs in homework I shouldn't have been, I've been talked down to countless times, and I know for a fact my work is held to a much higher, even impossible, standard. But it's only cost me numerous sleepless nights so far. No letter grades/GPA.

The second reason is that the majority of my university's EE professors are Chinese, and I am 100% convinced if I raised a fuss about it, it would be put me on some shitlists.

Florida as well (job was in Louisiana), chemE, 45$/hr, won't disclose company but they are large enough to warrant constant hate every time they post on twitter. You need to have a good GPA (this is the first thing my company checks when they're weeding through apps), then relevant experience is next. This doesn't mean work experience, but things that you've worked on in your major that can tie into industrial work. For me this was making some improvements on a piece of pilot-scale equipment that our department owns as part of an undergrad class. They also don't want to work with autists, and they will use the interview mostly to determine how personable you are and how well you can work in a group environment. One of the key feedbacks I was given at the end of my internship was that I was very receptive to feedback, and they think this is an important trait that can't necessarily be taught. Don't extend this to the point where you become a yes-man though, that's gonna make you look like a bitch.

>What kind of approach do you take when starting a new engineering project?

>What is your approach when troubleshooting a system that is having issues?

How do you answer these two questions? I said for the first one:
>I start by understanding the customer and the problem they are having. Defining all aspects of the problem and then forming concepts to try and tackle their problem. I said stuff about forming a time line using tools such as a gantt chart to help organize the project so there is established timelines and documentation for performing tasks. I also mentioned being flexible enough to work additional hours when needed if time lines aren't going to be met or restructuring tasks as necessary as the project goes on.

For the second one I said
>For troubleshooting I try to start by looking at official documentation for the system I am troubleshooting. See if the symptoms the system is having are documented issues that have existing solutions. If not I follow basic troubleshooting procedures one by one, keeping tabs on every solution I've tried so far and starting with what I think will be the most likely solutions. I try to research if anyone else has run in to similar problems to the one I am having and if they have managed to fix I'll attempt their solutions if they've listed any.

Are these good enough answers? What would you say?

In my country, historically if you wanted to be a Telecommunications Engineer the way was doing EE with Telecom optional courses, and you are officially recognized as a Telecom Engineer that way.

That will remain but since next year there will also be a "Communications Systems Engineering" degree, which compared to the older degree seems to have some courses from Software Engineering, and intros to networking and signals much earlier in the course.

Depends what major he wants to study but in most cases the computer labs on campus should be enough for undergrad. If there isn't a lab, then I would get him a second hand thinkpad as per /g/ recommendations but if he wants to buy new, basically any cheap windows based laptop will do.

In my opinion, he should go into uni without a laptop and then pick one based off his needs when he needs to pick a major. I seriously doubt there will be anything in first year engineering that will requires more than a library or lab computer.

EE is one of the hardest undergrad degrees. You will have a LOT of labs. I don't know what advice to really give. Your intro classes will be pretty hand-holdy for the first few lectures so you don't really need to brush up on much. Depends what you're taking.

Most important thing is to pay attention in class and, take good notes. especially if the class doesn't have recorded lectures available online.

EEs have a shit ton of labs. This being the case, you will frequently have a shitty schedule in awkward time blocks, and will have ~1 hour long periods of down time in between classes. Some classes/labs also require you bring your own laptop and use power hungry programs .

My advice: Get a juicy laptop, scope out some quiet spots on campus with electric outlets (ideally nearby a food/caffeine source) and be prepared to spend a lot of time on campus there. And mostly just prepare your anus.

Highly customizable (we now have to worry about being able to swap out RAM a lot of the time, these you can swap out the graphics cards if you get the right one. Quite a few of the MXM quadro cards are also cheaper than the PCIe equivalents).
Well built
Excellent warranty (get a used one that still has 2+ years of warranty left if you can).
Extremely committed user base for things like modding

Cons:
They're not thin and quite heavy
It's a bit confusing to work out what model to get
Usually quite expensive (look for something in the $300-400 range

I'm second year EE student and at the end of the 4th semester we have to choose a specialization. I'm thinking on "High Frequency Systems and Applications".
I will take courses such as,
>Space Technology
>Radio Systems and Analysis
>Antennas in Practice
>Electromagnetic Metamaterials and Its Applications
>Simulation and Design of Microwave Circuits
>Relativistic Electrodynamics for Engineers
>Computer Aided Modelling of Electromagnetic Devices

So I'm a college grad and I applied for an "experienced professional" position at lockheed but it's a pretty entry level logistics position very similar to the entry level postings they have.

Recruiter called and had his assistant e-mail me the details for a job interview. Turns out the interview is going to be a two hour panel interview with technical questions. I have a friend who works at the company and I told him and he said his interview for a higher level experienced professional position lasted 30 minutes and had 0 technical questions.

So I called the recruiter and asked if he could clarify anything about the interview being 2 hours long and what kind of technical questions would be and he said something like "Well the 2 hours could be true, but it could just be a buffer in case I was expecting a short interview and had plans after but then the interview went longer than expected. 2 hours gives enough of a buffer to prevent any conflicts either way." He didn't say anything about the technical questions only mentioned the length.

If it's actually 2 hours of technical questions I'm fucked. No way I can prepare I'm not a professional just some retard out of college.

Yeah I actually forgot to mention this but you just reminded me - I never even applied for this job. I am certain because I searched the req ID on their website and went to apply for it and it was allowing me to apply for it, which means I did not already. Any job you've already applied for is met with a message "You have already applied for this job posting and only 1 application is allowed per posting".

I almost feel like they confused my resume with someone else's or something and I'm going to go in and get hit with all these technical questions I can't answer and get my shit pushed in.

Now my dream is to work in aerospace, and even if i was not able to go into the industry out of college, i was hopping to eventually transition into the industry asap.

So of course i am interested in the space systems route, because obviously it would give me a leg up at this early career phase as i would have some extra knowledge about specific technologies i would be working with.

however my GPA and lack of experience (no internship yet, going into my spring semester of junior year, will be having my first interview for a internship with a rail company after break). So i think that these detriments would outweigh the benefits of my major.I feel like i would not be employed by any aerospace corp, and have to deal with having a specialization that is difficult to apply outside of aerospace.

Now the other specialization is power systems and electronics. Now with this i feel like its a safer choice, as literally every single electrical engineering project, needs some form of power engineering. So this would increase my odds of being employed because now i have a larger job pool, with companies who may overlook my lower GPA. I also have a connection with Con Edison (but not that strong) along with working some angles for a construction company designing Low and high voltage systems for warehouses and manufacturing. But as stated, these are super loose connections.

So i have a few weeks to decide what im going to do, after that, i would not be able to graduate within 4 years if i decide to change.

I need tough love and honest facts here /eng/
what do you guys think. Also as it stands i am going power

I'm not an EE, but I'd probably stick with power. Everyone and their mother wants to do aero, and with a sub-3.0 GPA I'm not sure it'd be a wise specialization.

And?

I'm 27 and I'll be graduating next year (MechE). There is no such thing as graduating "on time."

Anyway as far as advice, Do what you feel like you would enjoy the most. As far as I know aerospace is the same as mechanical except the problems you solve are space oriented. For example a class offered at my school called "design of aerospace structures" is basically advanced statics with some mechanics of materials thrown in.

Basically none of this shit fucking matters. What ever people you end up working for will have you learn their systems anyway. If you have a degree it all it says is that you have a fundamental understanding of engineering concepts. No one expects you to be an expert in aerospace design because you "specialized" in it at school. It may look good on a resume if the company you apply for does that stuff but that's about it.

[Anonymous No.10235114]

I plan on commissioning in the Military and doing my 20 years so I guess I'm not super worried about job hunting.

Which major should I choose? AeroAstro looks cool but the electricity/power generation also looks cool.

So should I do something very specialized like Aerospace or General Engineering? Or does it really matter

By General Engineering I mean a course that teaches you both ME and EE for the first 2 years then you can specialize In Aero or advanced ME, EE or Electronics for the next 2 years.
