Oh yeah. Don't expect to get paid a ton unless you get an advanced degree.

I am a sophmore in Electrical Engineering at the University of Tennessee. The Physics classes can get really hard and can make a person want to give up and quit. We are learning about thermodynamics right now. That stuff is really complicated. I would like to get a job designing the electronics in cars.

I tip my hat to you for doing EE, we have to take Intro to EE (I'm a sophomore ME) and I'm dreading it. I like thermo, though, but I have a feeling it's one of those where you either love it, or absolutely despise it.

second year mechanical eng. at sdsu. electrical physics kicked my ass. but got through it last semester..hopefully will get through in 4.5 years.

1 semester left WVU for Mech Engneer B.S., 3.89 GPA, my only fun is one night a week, all I do is study obviously.. Its competitive as hell

I drive the 240 once every two weeks

My next semester is only 14 hours, Yepee!

Oh yeah, electrical engineering is not that difficult..

All engineering is easy if you pay attention to the classes, its all buildup of knowledge, like circuits i, the basics, after differential equations, and automated controls, you take circuits ii and deal with laplace transforms and first-order, second-order circuits.. The later Ee classes actually dabble back into multivariable calculus with classes like fields, etc..

what parts of thermo do you not understand? Maybe I can help

+1 for being a rad guy that wants to help. Instead of just telling 'em they're fucked.

At the moment, I'm currently trying to re-decide for the n-teenth time what I want to major in. Maybe ME or ChE. I'm not entirely sure -- if either. I'd sorta like to be a teacher if not. Though, due to "health reasons" I've had to drop out/fuck up several times with the community college deal (to transfer to Univ o' Tennessee-Knoxville or Tennessee Tech). Getting married this summer, so I have to get my education game on or take up work in a factory. So, with all hope and stuff there will be yet ANOTHER engineering student around here soon.

I didn't have much of a problem with thermo, but for me, E-mag was a bitch. Didn't like analytical mech, either.

ro240sx · 02-04-2009, 06:09 PM

Im going to Cal Poly Pomona. Not sure whether to do EE or ME.

lflkajfj12123 · 02-04-2009, 06:41 PM

ME at Purdue here

working on bachelors

its a long there's no turning back...

MrFixIt · 02-04-2009, 08:10 PM

UF ME here.

Physics II is kicking my assssssss.....
2nd time taking it.

EDz s14 · 02-04-2009, 10:18 PM

Im in my first year for ME at Cal Poly,

MFE class sucks balls lol

jyon9689 · 02-04-2009, 10:37 PM

I'm a second semester freshmen ME major at the University of Kentucky, huge UK fan, lived in Lexington all my life. I've gotta say, it's rough but I don't see myself doing anything else. I go out just about as much as anyone else in my fraternity, and spend a lot of time on shit other than school. I'm only taking 12 credit hrs. a semester now though, no classes before noon. One thing I've got going for me is social skills though, you should see some of the kids in our engineering program haha. I think that'll pay off for me though.

I'm thinking about transfering to University of Colorado at Boulder though because it'd better suit my hobbies, and just to switch it up you know? Anyone at Boulder that would be willing to let me know how you're liking it?

You transferred from MFE to ME? That RARELY happens at CPP. Lol but I ask cause I did the same thing. I know/heard of a bunch of people at CPP that have done the opposite though.

No, MFE 126 was a class that I have to take for my major which is ME.
Its the one with solidworks.
So you transferred from MFE major to ME?
