Well, there's digital design in EE too, its just a matter of what consumes more of your time. 🙂

<-- spent 6 hours doing Quine-McClusky algorithm by hand last evening for Digital Design class.
<-- remembers why he's an EE.

Somewhat true, but it most cases nearly everything analog is abstarcted away from digital design otherwise things get insanely complicated.

But it's abstracted out by other CE's doing analog design 😉 Power distribution, etc are all aspects of CE.

Sweet jesus, you realize that there are computer tools to handle that crap for you, right?

Quine McClusky, oof....its been a while for me.

Remind me how it works again?

takes me back to college. I haven't touched a Karnaugh map in ages.

Hang in there!

Engineering is tough, but survivable.

When you get out you will have 2 very powerful things 1) employer respect that you can complete such a tough course & 2) "transferable skills". I am no longer in Engineering, but the skills that I learned in the course and while working were easily transferable and desired by employers.

Don't tell me you are EE to do McClusky method by hand? 😉
Because unless you are writing design synthesis tools, you won't be touching it with a 10 foot pole 😉

Against honor code. Either it had to be done by hand (with all work shown) or I had to write the program myself and turn in the code along with it, which would have probably taken a good 4-5 hours of programming and debugging anyway.

That's my point, as an EE I won't be doing this in my real job. 🙂

Yup, it appears they haven't kicked me out yet. :thumbsup:

Yet... Wait until the dean finds out about your weekly sexcapades in his office. 😉

Bah, too many EE's on ATOT. If you stick with it, it will require a lot of dedication and heart. Otherwise you are going to squeal like a little school boy each semester. It is like hell most of the time but if you can find it in yourself to stick with it then I recommend to stay with the program.

Christ, I cant even look at a simple sig to find an answer to my question. How will I ever make it in engineering? What is the easiest type of engineering?

Easiest engineering? Industrial Systems maybe, as far as I can tell it consists of bossing people around. Also referred to as "Engineering for Women".

Stick it out.. You've already completed two years.

After getting a job in the real world, any course you've taken in college will seem like cake in comparison with thall the political bs and stupid incompetent people that are hired.

Why isn't anything done when they fvck up? Because they are cheap but if you look at the big picture it takes more time & money to fix their repeated fvck ups in the long run than it is to hire someone competent... Grrr Sorry just got back from work.

 

[amoeba]

Good god theres a lot of EEs here.

well, the IT guys still got us outnumbered.

Hmm, I wonder if we can tape out a chip just by ourselves.

I'll Christen it Spider.

Depends on the person actually. But Industrial Engineering here is considered the easiest (business side of engineering).
Okay here are some tips for your young buck ass.
1. Get to know your professor before the semester starts
2. Look at the grade distribution of that professor
3. Talk to students who have had the professor before for that specific class.
4. Get a hold of previous semester material
5. Study
6. Study
7. Study
8. No girls, no friends
9. No TV
10. No counter strike or ATOT.
