Engineering at UCLA sucks w/ Kyle Fudenna 

thanks!

You probably committed to a school by this point already, but in case you accepted UCLA if you got in or whatever you circumstance is, I transferred to UCLA this past fall and I wouldn’t necessarily call the coursework “cutthroat” and if you find the right community of people, there’s plenty who are nice and willing to help out where they can. I’m also EE and was lucky enough to make a group of fellow EE transfers and we all took similar classes and could help each other through it all. My whole year was remote, so my perspective is skewed, but the coursework is pretty broad in EE (I think the department wants undergrads to have very broad exposure to EE to basically prep you for a narrower focus in grad school) and the professors are pretty hit or miss. It’s for sure stressful, but not impossible to do and get decent grades. It’s for sure more research/theory oriented and not a whole of hands on aside from a couple circuit labs and such, but I have done some cool projects in the last year. Just put yourself out there and get involved where you can. Hope this helps!

Really appreciate the feedback!

same, super chill

I’m thinking of applying for the same major but might do mechanical engineering since it’s more broad in terms of job opportunities. I really want to do aerospace though for the sake of enjoyment but fear I won’t get a job in the field since it’s such a specific job

@@rafaelespinoza1515 Do Aerospace. Don't do Mechanical. Do either Electrical, Computer Science, or Aerospace.

@@laker4life36 why

@@rafaelespinoza1515 I'm a senior undergrad in aerospace. Aero is very versatile and can be applied pretty much to any job (that specialization stuff is bs) and even with that, the "NewSpace" commercial space industry is thriving. But if I were to go back and pick any different major, it would be electrical engineering or computer science or both. Both very versatile, practical, and in-demand as well. Also, like 7 of the 10 richest people in the world majored in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or both. And they sometimes lead to the same job as aero's anyway (depending on your area of specialization).

will do

@@CouchChat Great video! May I also get the cover letter?

Can I get the cover letter? Thank you!
