Double majoring within similar fields means you have plenty of overlap. Your gen eds will all be the same typically (30-40 credits), engineering courses satisfy science electives in math, and since EE's do complex analysis, linear algebra, etc, they can just add on the additional required courses for math. You basically end up taking an engineering degree with 20-30 additional math credits.

I noticed that there is a huge problem in the papers and clarity in engineering domains. I am a pure & applied math major with industry experience. I've help my brother with his engineering math, and I'm baffled by how topics are presented. They learn things like Laplace transform, Fourier transform by rote, without understanding why or what they are doing. The worst is, they don't provide crisp definitions. For example, they introduce Fourier transform to undergrads, by just showing a formula, and most students end up confused. It's presented in the most asinine way, with talking about sound wave something something and harmonics bullshit.

A Fourier series is a basis decomposition of some function f(x). The discrete transform is used when you don't know f(x) but have a set of samples. So you fill it in piece wise constant, and do the decomp/integration. Was that so difficult to explain? I see this in industry too often. Engineers don't clearly formulate what they are doing, and end up introducing complicated equations.

In short, engineering papers are annoying to read, since you end up trying to reverse engineer what they are trying to do, formulate it so that it's super clear. Most of the time what they did is crap, and there is a better way to do it. The math culture is seriously lacking in engineering.

This teacher taught like a freight train and I was the third-highest grade in the class. His teaching style was: put up a problem on the projector, solve it without saying a word, ask if everyone got that, and before we could answer he was moving on to the next problem. He was older and tenured so he didn't care. He graded on a curve though so it's all good.

I'm EE. We didn't do Real Analysis or Abstract Algebra. Why not just go EE? It's more fun and practical. I will say I took a Math Minor (it was only two or three more math classes than we normally needed lol). Applied Math and "Theory of Games".

>>10218664
Maybe you just have a shit institution. In our Signal Analysis class, we covered Fourier transforms, and the assumption that we're only pretending our signal is infinitely continuous, including the case where edges don't line up, so by "math" we use the point halfway between the disjunction.

My uni was trash with regards to the material and curriculum, and in one class, more than half the class was caught cheating and they swept it under the rug. Same as when GRADUATE students were cheating on a midterm. CC had much better teachers and rigorous curriculums, and students weren't entitled little shits that cheated to get ahead.

As to the papers, you could just be ignorant and poor at understanding why they present information a certain way. I've only encountered once where the presentation of material was obfuscated by historical shorthand, the area or volume produced by revolving a sequence of lines/curves around an axis. In 2D they used some weird formula, using 3D integration was much easier.

>>10218854
I remember our "Stats for Electrical Engineers". It was poor, and I have a feeling they assumed people didn't know more accurate statistics, because in homework there were some odd problems where the true answer was a recursive calculation (I think it was something like an unbalanced probability of getting such bits out of a sequence correct, which would involve any combination of correct bits). Not exactly that, but it was a problem with a weird answer, and in general, not many students had good grades in that class. That was a consistent thing in my uni, the teachers and material were really, really bad, and only cheaters got high grades.

I am completly sure that most """top students""" from american universities would get totally fucked on a real undergrad program. American graduate programs are top tier, but the undergrad programs are joke, even at a top universitie like MIT. I did my master on a top 20 uni and i couldn't believe how fucking stupid the american students were, it was pretty depressing actually, since the best students were either european or asians.

Other countries, including Asian ones, are adopting American education pedagogy though, because they know that although their culture may produce better rote learners, it fails to produce as high quality general problem solvers. The better you make someone at solving problems we already have, the worse they become at solving new ones. It gets worse in elitist rote cultures like China, because they focus on a social status aspect. If you aren't appearing to be a great scientist, you are socially poor, so they produce massive amounts of false papers. Conversely, if you're not obedient, you're shunned, so even if you know and can prove a paper is false, the people who are over you will punish and ostracize you. They don't do anything about their problems.

Forgot to mention...
Ecology had curved tests
Calc 3 had about 33% grade hw and 30pt extra credit worth about 8%... so I had over 100% before even taking the final.
Ochem1/lab was no curve and a lot of people did fail (more than 50%) but honestly at least to me ochem 1 didn't feel any more difficult than gen chem. Usually calc3 is a weed out course too but my class got super lucky with the professor I suppose

Depends on the school. I got cum laude with a 3.33. Website indicates:
3.20 cum laude
3.50 magna cum laude
3.75 summa cum laude

Our coursework was very dense for some classes. My AS was probably 71-72 credit counting for one extra class and one or two which didn't count towards the BS, and the BS needed an additional 75. All in all, for my BS I took 150 credit hours.

Well American degrees are less in depth than their European counterparts (with the major/minor system they don't get into the same depth, also the first year is the eqv of an IB), so anything less than an A is a but lacklustre on the world scale if you are competing for jobs against anyone educated in europe or china/japan/Korea.

No, you are objectively wrong. If someone is invested in and they produce more than it cost to invest, then even in the most vicious capitalistic way, everyone has benefited. There are clear financial incentives to educating people who would otherwise remain jobless or in less valuable work. Going further, even if the person is doing work which in itself may not be more valuable than the work they were doing previously, if it enables other people to be more productive, then people as a group have benefited, despite that person having individually been a negative return.

Electrical Engineering diverges into physical phenomenon, computer-engineering oriented work, and power.

Physical oriented work now involves photonics, mainly. There's still progress in transistors, but who knows how long that will go. An EE could take material courses for work in sensors and stuff, which leads to program 2.

Computer-engineering oriented is linking the physical aspects of the computer (reliability, accuracy, basically reality-dependent limitations) and useful programs. Computer Engineers are more like Computer Scientists, they would know good programming methodology and system organization, but would have far less physical knowledge. I've heard from multiple businesses it's easier to train an EE in good programming practices than make a CS/Math good at "engineering", but I don't know how many hired Computer Engineers specifically. It's a rarer job, but EE's make for better circuit designers than CompEs.

Power is power distribution, not much explanation there. It's much more of a business/maintenance job, so it'd involve more policy, implementing designs coming from above, etc.

Interesting the difference is quite subtle from the abstracts. In my institution it really only starts branching from 3rd year so I'm not sure which way to declare for 2nd.

I'm interested in embedded systems and systems architecture though. You're saying that either direction would be appropriate since EE is quite universal?

There aren't very fundamental courses, because the breadth of EE is large. If you're going physical, Applied Electromagnetics would be fundamental, and in graduate courses, QM and other photonics courses.

If hardware, analog circuits (amplifiers which transitions to digital circuits), and digital logic. I think EE's get the shit end of the programming stick, but personally, I never found programming to be hard (have you read your SICP today?), just something I didn't do in my spare time. If you're EE, a clearer, primitive language like C may be more appealing than languages which force a lot of Computer Science nonsense on you. I professionally worked with C and Perl, and enjoyed them.

In power, we only had one mandatory course, and one optional course, but it was matlab and simulation focused. In practice I've heard the simulations are basically useless, so it really is a business and maintenance position.

>tips to success
At my uni? Cheat constantly and be Chinese. I binged alone sometimes, especially when writing papers, vaped, played video games, and jerked off a lot.

I'd think if you're more into programming, CompE would be better than EE. I like programming, but I run into a lot of jobs that aren't interested because I'm not a Java expert, and worse, they think EE's are all about circuits or electricity, instead of a general competency. The programming job I had to leave because they weren't able to pay salary. I liked working at the company, and they did a lot of lower level stuff (fax/telephony/audio signal processing). Most jobs these days are probably website/mobile oriented, though competent hardware-oriented programmers are rare.

I think the only reason you might not want to do EE is that, since it’s more general, you’ll learn about things that might not be relevant to your interests. If you’re interested in system architecture and embedded systems, I imagine you’d be pretty frustrated wrestling with Maxwell’s equations in an e-mag class.

That's a good point though, if you're weaker in math/science, the higher-level maths and physics may be unappealing, for example. I liked EE's broadness, but that could be a problem for others.

E (sometimes D, depends on uni rules) stands for satisfactory meaning you have the minimum amount of knowledge to pass the course.
You are doing mostly ok and in some aspects satisfactory. Not great, but not bad either.

Embarrassed because I bombed my ochem final, thank fuck I was averaging 98 on the midterms or my grade would be fucked. Unfortunately it was a real time crunch on the final and I let my nerves get the best of me even though I prepared well (much of the class didn’t have time to finish). At least my grade didn’t drop but I still feel disappointed in myself, especially since I realized many stupid mistakes right after I finished.

No idea what you mean, my school lets you use math credits for CS objectives for instance. This is the interesting thing about CS degrees, you can take them with the math or without it at american schools. This is what leads to so many dumbasses claiming to have a 'degree in CS' but when you look at it on a persons degree it is easy to tell the difference usually. It will be listed as Bachelors of Arts, vs Bachelors of Science, BA vs BS on the degree. So you can do bachelors of Arts CS degree and opt out of any math beyond calculus if you want to and claim you have a 'bachelors' without using the quantifier. This is what retards here do and give CS people a bad name.

The caliber of the school you go to is probably at play. Because engineering programs have overview by professional bodies, and are often subject to several international agreements for accreditation, the amount of work that has to be covered can be immense for the most prestigious programs (the more prestigious the program, the more accreditation they chase). There's also variation over the different sub-disciplines, with Chemical, Civil and EE having the most oversight.

The two high level things people tend to argue about in engineering are fluid mechanics and Maxwell's equations (arguing as to whose dick is longer). High level stress equations are even more advanced mathematically, though you'd probably never touch them at undergrad. Just saying "PDEs" makes no sense, I first had to learn about PDEs at school, and it's a first year math subject in an engineering program, but they get used over and over.

Depends on school. My college only Physics takes enough math to get a math minor. As this guy mentioned
>>10222959 many American schools CS/Eng only need calc. For abet accreditation (important for some engineers), only 2-3 math classes are required.

A bachelor is just the same as major except that the bachelor includes about 180 credits (major+general ed. reqs), where as a major is just classes specific to the major, but it only shows on transcript. A master is generally after your bachelors and takes 1-2 years. 1 year usually if you plan it at the same institution as your bachelors, but 2 if you transfer.

These are measuring different things.
1) is measuring high IQ as a risk factor for mental illness
2) is measuring mental illness as a factor associated with low IQ
They're not mutually exclusive.
Basically together they say that those with mental illness are likely to have low IQs and also that having a high IQ is a risk factor in developing a mental illness.

I'm majoring in economics, with a minor in statistics, and I'm taking exam P in January. I'd say just major in something math related and take a few of the exams before you graduate.

If you have full A's in EE at my uni you are considered an autist even though the people coming here are mostly the best high school students with the highest grades

Math Major. Not feeling good about them. Went into the semester as an undergraduate taking all graduate courses to impress grad schools to get into a PhD program and it backfired. The analysis class was extremely toughly graded and I had to focus on that and so neglected the others too much.

All graduate level:
Analysis I - C
Algebra I - B
General Topology I - A
Mathematical Logic I - B
Number Theory I - B

Doing GSCE coursework. Grades based of last assesment points
English: 9
Maths: 5
Triple Science: 7 (biology/chemistry are strong points)
Geography: N/A (recent change)
History: 8 (no longer doing)
Health and Social: it's BTEC but I'll say 7-8 for simplicity
Religious Education: 6

I got my first C in the first quarter of my 2nd year of uni as a physics major. Every other grade has been an A or a B. The low grade was because I missed a few assignments, I performed well on what I did turn it. Am I screwed? My family is convinced that I'm going to get a PhD.
