I majored in Electrical Engineering and yes I didn't go to a single party during my time in college. Not because I didn't want to but because I always had a ton of homework to do. I mean a ton!!!! It was like a full time job. Nonetheless, I am now a professional engineer registered in the state of texas (look me up if you don't believe me). As soon as I graduated and earned my first engineering job, I realized how glad I was to have pushed through studying and pulling the all nighters. I went from making $9/hr as a bbq caterer to making $30/hr as an engineer. Now I make over $55/hr and I'm only 27 years old, plus I love my job. Engineering is hard but the rewards are worth it.
Will Tirad , can I make such a career with a degree on Computer Science and Engineering? It is my favourite subject but my family wants me to study Electrical engineering.
Imroz zahan You can also do a combined degree, certain schools offer the CSEE degree. Basically a combination of electrical engineering and computer science.
I'm an Electrical engineer, and yes, someday, you will find yourself in a situation that you will not even have time to scratch your head, it can be really stressful, but it's worthy, cuz the future is what matters.
sunil mishra if ur weak at maths then u probably shouldn’t, it really depends on how bad it is. All engineering have a lot of maths and physics (Some chemistry depending on which u choose).
Depending on your university, there can be help. In my uni, there is a math centre in the library and the teachers have starbucks hours. I could be considered your opposite because I am near useless with my hands and have barely passed my practical modules. So, I believe if you can survive the first year math then there is hope for you. I know I speak for only my uni but once you have a fair grasp of first year math, you can contiinue.
Omg I thought i was the only one, im in soph/junior yr and i want to cry... i even had to dropped 2 classes bc i was bout to fail them (D+ n C-) (school requires C or above)
My advice is: 1) EE is not for everyone, I’d say truly pursue it if you’re passionate and actually enjoy it even though it’s painful. Being “interested” isn’t good enough at the highest level. 2) Not just EE but in engineering general, you gotta have the engineering mind, meaning gotta have the creativity skills, problem solving skills, and intuition. 3) To set yourself apart from others aside from GPA and projects, is to learn EE related stuff outside of your course curriculum. Maybe do a personal project for fun. 4) Understand that, Education will certainly give you some exposure of experience and knowledge(especially lab courses), but overall teaches you how to learn and be disciplined which is critical in industry. 5) Never stop learning. Keep applying yourself in the field under no circumstances.
I was lazy as hell in high school but I wasnt planning to be an engineering major. I did very well on exams but didnt do much of assignments. When I started college my "home" life became nearly unbearable. I know my potential. I know I can get through these classes but when you have nowhere to recharge your batteries you get worn down more and more. I know if i had a place of my own my gpa would be much better and so would my state of mind be. I hope anyone who feels this way knows they arent alone. My sister told me the other day that she felt encouraged by me for pushing myself to do well on some exams even though we have had been going through some rough weeks and I felt like I was running on empty. What she didnt know was she was the one motivating me
Damn, I really feel you on this. I wanted to pursue an engineering major during college, but my home life was too stressful. I ended up getting a humanities degree. I've managed to find work, but it's definitely not what I want to do forever. However, family life has evened out, and I'm now planning on returning to school to finish what I started. Wishing you luck!
Qualique Ancrum Labs are like a wife x 2, with three kids and a naggy voice. She's also a life sucking bitch, and you are sure she is going to give you a health problem with how much work she is.
hi everyone ,if anyone else wants to uncover understanding electronics for beginners try Sovallo Circuits Expert Fixer (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.
Shader Kitty no words have ever been so true. I get constant PTSD from most of the courses in the major,not from the material itself but the workloads the professors slap us with and we’re treated like shit everyday. TT~TT
Even if you take AP Calculus in high school, always take Calculus 1 while in college. It's whole different playing field when taking Calculus 2 after taking it in college vs high school.
It is annoying seeing people that they think just because you do well in high school classes it means that it will translate to university level. I have known people who got As in calculus in high school, than when they get to take their first real engineering/math/physics course they start shitting their pants and quit. If You don't have a high work ethic, discipline, drive you will fail. This applies to anything you want in life. The best doctors, scientists, engineers, etc, have those traits.
This! I think AP Calc in high school should be considered more of a "Pre-Calculus" course. Some of them are even called that. Plus, the basics of Cac I are so important to understand and be able to implement as you progress in the mathematics courses required for EE that it's probably worth it to take the course anyway. Calc II is NOT a joke! It's a good indicator of how much someone wants to go through this major. Also, Alex V is spot-on. I did well in high school. AP courses from middle school and beyond, did alright on ACT/SAT, and graduated top percentage of my class without trying much outside of College Board AP exams. Got to college and found that my study habits, academic retention, and overall knowledge of several subjects to be subpar. It was disheartening but a good learning experience. Engineering of any discipline requires hard work and perseverance. I hope the people who come to this video see these comments and take them to heart!
Brian Flores I actually learned about Lhopitals rule and Newton’s law of cooling in high school and I’m still in it. I’m still learning more in it that Calculus 1 has in college
I went into engineering because that's what my family does. I have an uncle who is a professor in physics, and engineering, a few other uncles with masters in various engineering disciplines, and my dad who is an electrical engineer. I myself am going into environmental engineering.
I can second the tip stating that connecting with profs and getting good grades opens up research opportunities. This is great experience towards a career and many universities offer paid positions for student researchers.
Im a an electrical engineering student at Arizona State University . If you think this career is for you, just know youll have to work MF ass off to get those passing grades.. Trust me there will be days youll want to drop out because how hard it is and stressful. But itll be worth it.. Have a strong mind set when you enter any engineering field. Good luck ! PS, youll have to love being a STEM(science technology engineering math) major to join this type of field. Dont do it for the money do it because you love the interest...
From my experience as so far completing 3 years of Electrical Engineering with a Weighted average mark of 73, the main trait you need is commitment. Like maths doing an EE degree requires strong emphasis on the progression of your subjects because they overlap. Finish all your homework and assignments and do independent research and spend some time in the lab and you will definitely hit 80+. As I said all it really is is commitment, and you will also find that once you are able to balance out your time and work hard, you can do other extra curricular things to buff up your resume. Me personally I have messed about a little too much hence the subpar result, but also remember that you need to really like EE or you will definitely fail or barely pass.
Too bloody hard. That hard. At least where I study. Especially for a computer engineering student. I write this after spending LITERALLY the ENTIRE day (with breaks obviously) surfing the net and reading the book to death just to figure out how the bloody **** they managed to get the finite closed loop gain of a non inverting op-amp given finite open loop gain. Since you know, they thought it was a brilliant idea to skip the whole bloody process and just jump to the formula. My two years younger self would have shed tears of frustration by now but my spirit is already broken that I can only muster anger.
I’m an electrical engineer from Pakistan and female. And looking at the job market here, it’s pretty bad. I’m unemployed. But I pursed this course because I had passion for it.
@@philipogbodu3520 A good math teacher is invaluable. Also, today, you have global internet help, access to many resources incl. modeling & simulation software.
Currently in my 4th year, my EE program takes 5 years to complete. The field is incredible and offers so many opportunities it's amazing. It also has many many internship opportunities for students 16 months, 12 months to summer coops thry got it all. The field is hard but with hard work, it becomes extremely rewarding.
do u get time to party and relax? or is there too too much to study always? do u get free time? im thinkin to go for electrical engineering, but everyone saying its hard makes me not wanna do it
@@trap-pd2mv Firstly, its not as hard as ppl make it out to be. Honestly , its challenging but its not like the courses are designed for you to to bad. That would just be horrible. It is definetly doable . You can do well. Many people do well. Its more about work ethic than being some genius. Secondly, chances are ifyou accepted into the program, you are clearly capable of doing well. You will have time to relax and enjoy student life outside school . Its all about time management. Being consistent with studies and assignments is key. You can enjoy a good social life. I do decent in grades and still.have plenty time to myself. Its not some crazy constant stream of work that ppl.make it out to be, trust me. If you slack then of course it become stressful but thats a given. As a student, you learn what works best for you and eventually, you will be used to the nature of EE. Consistency and hardwork is key. Lastly, the nature of EE requires some math skills. Not crazy hard, but if you can follow first year math well i.e calc1 , then u will be fine. Whats more important is your passion. Are you interested in EE? Where does your passion lie in? One who enjoys their studies will often time be more studious and beless stressed than one who doesnt.
GPA is not everything. Today, many engineers need good soft skills as well. So, yes, do your best to get the grades. However, DO NOT let anyone tell you that you cannot do it with a lower GPA. I have a 3.0 and I got a part-time job as an electronics technician. I'm on my way to finishing my BSEE now.
You were right. Not only do I have my hands full with laboratory stuff, but also programming and mathematics. I kinda like it, feels like I'm learning new and interesting things, but also developing as a person
I'm in my first year of university(eng direct entry) and we don't have to take general education. Only math, Science, problem solving and statics. Honestly I'm glad it is, I hate essays more than anything.
I’m currently studying electrical engineering and I’m hating my life rn. Don’t study it unless you’re a nerd. If you want to have the best time in college go do any other degree
Yes it’s tough in college seeing all your friends go out while you’re indoors studying…but once you start your career it will all be worth it. You’ll be getting multiple job offers while your friends will be struggling. I’ve been out of school for 6 years now and all my friends who changed from Engineering to other fields struggled to start their careers
Wish I had this video when I was applying to be a EE. I'm now about to graduate with a BSEE. I'll be a year late to graduate compared to my official class, completing my 5th year to get my degree, due to health issues and a bit of switching my discipline within EE, but in hindsight the experience was exhausting and towards the end has been enjoyable. His point about taking those APs and doing those classes at a community college is very helpful -- taking them earlier would be better. You can save a lot of time and money, and plus I feel institutions like community colleges teach it better than at the Uni I am currently attending.
One thing to keep in mind regarding AP courses is that certain courses may not actually reduce your course load in college. For example, taking AP physics is definitely worth it, but depending on which version of the AP exam you take, you may not be able to "test out" of your physics requirements. If you take the B exam (without calculus), it'll give you a solid foundation, but you'll likely be required to take physics with calculus as an undergraduate. There are similar situations with AP calculus (AB vs BC exams), and AP chemistry, depending on your school's chemistry requirements for EE majors. That being said, I'd still urge you to take AP classes in high school to both prepare you for a college level work load, and to give you a better foundation for majoring in EE.
I'm an electrical engineer and inventor and I love my job but it's not a field for lazy people! It can be very rewarding if your good at it, I have my own company and I earn more that the average family doctor.
im not pursuing engineering but i am studying electrical theory to become a journeyman electrician and I have to say it's tough enough for me.. I can't imagine how much more overwhelming it is for engineering.. I beat myself up a lot for not learning/ understanding as smoothly as I want
I'm majoring in computer science and for some reason we had to take basic of Electrical Engineering and this one course is my hell and many other students hell. Huge respect for those who major in this, if the basics are this hard, I can't imagine how advanced must be.
Yeah I made few mistakes in my past while attending engineering! I was to afraid to get college debt so I worked two part time jobs while doing engineering. I got out of school without debt but my grades suffered. Now I am having super hard time finding a job. And have to work non engineering jobs to survive
That means except you got good grade you can't get a good job? So what your advise for people who are finding it difficult to cope wit there field of study
Doing part time is also what I want to do because I am currently working and don't want to quit my job because no one will pay for me but I will surely try my best once I start on the college
Tbh I dropped out of high school after my second/third year and now I just got accepted into the second highest engineering course from my college it’s really easy here in Scotland because we learn by doing it ourselves and then writing up on it so we know what we’ve done before having to do theory (while I was out of education I spent all my time building guitar pedals and amps and worked in a bike workshop for a year doing electronics on massive touring bikes so I learned the basics/semi-advanced skills super quickly that helped me massively)
I dropped out of college after 1.5 years studying EE. I am 32 years old now and i want to go back. Im in the process of enrolling. Its always been my dream to be an electronics engineer...
Same I've never been to parties and when I do its only with cousins but that's rarely. Let's exchange instagrams or if you have a linkden that would be cool too. My insta is @louisgonz9
I agree with what you have said , I had a GPA of around 3.86 during my first but sports and other things got in the way , I finished with 3.6 , I wished I just studied and played less sports , I would of finished with a GPA of 3.9 easily.
As someone who graduated with a degree in electrical engineering in 1996, I can tell you that it is the hardest thing I ever did in my life. I was a strong student in high school and it took every neuron I had at my disposal to get through engineering. The attrition rate was very high. Out a class of 65 students that started out in electrical engineering with me, only 11 made it to graduation. One piece of advice I would also provide to prospective students is to research the various engineering schools and their respective universities. Not all schools are created equal and you can get a gauge of their rankings via internet searches as well as reading about their alumni. Another big research point is find out how good the university's placement services are for post graduates. Being able to land a good job once you graduate is by no means a picnic and your life will be so much more difficult if the placement services at your university are sub-par. (Like mine were)
Haan sir abh Mera bhi haal wahi hai ,pata nhi final year tak kaise aaya ,bahut saare dhakke khaake yaha Tak pahuncha Hoon ,Mera Zindagi ka sabse dukh bhare ke din toh tab se start hue jabse my electrical engineering liya😥😥😥
My days of parting are over. I just want to be proud about what I do on daily basis and if kicking myself to pushing myself is gunna get me where I need to go then so be it. I hope I can do this. Boy... this might be hard. But I’ll accept the challenge.
The biggest mistake i made getting my EE was taking too many classes. Plan out your degree and check each class meets your degree requirements. That way your head is not filled with concepts you will never use and instead take classes after graduating that align with your work.
One thing I learned with my useless BSEE: it was an absolute waste to be a full-time worker, part-time evening student at my university. The IEEE office was closed at 5pm (my first classes started at 5:30pm). I had a mortgage, so internships were absolutely not obtainable. Not every class was offered every semester at nights, so it took me 10 years to graduate. Some people might be successful in their program, but I wasn't. I did graduate with a 3.3 GPA, but never worked in the field. If I could do it over again, I'd get a degree in math - my job is a statistician in the insurance industry. Your mileage may vary.
AP classes are a good start, but they aren't a good representation of what engineering is like. AP Calculus AB is a general overview of the simplest parts of Calc 1-3, and even then it won't make things easier
practice solving,advance study and reading, everyday .As ADHD person I often losing my track,its hard.I'm stressed out hahahaha but i trying to create balance even i only sleep 4 hrs everyday I start my morning by doing exercise it helping my mental state
The best nigga OK am also being apprentice for a while and I ve finish me secondary eletricals am about to enter the tertiary level I'm kinda panicking. Advice me
My dad said.. Civil engineer is easy because its only learn 1 thing. But mechanical engineering need learn 20 things.. And my dad could do everything he an architect , he can be an engineer also. he always be a leader in big project. I hope get his level
@@rickdu705 I decided to follow my dream and become a pilot. They didn’t accept my credits from my AA so this is my sophomore year in aviation management with flight. End goal Airline Pilot. Student pilot atm
I also majored in electrical engineering. I never went to lectures and only spent the week before exams. Now I am a PhD student. But I couldn't find an intern position for 3 years so I didn't graduate until 3 years after completing the course. Oh well.
@@change5450 To be honest yea I went into EE because I wanted to do computer/chip design. But didn't get any opportunity. Plus i'm more of a programmer anyway. After completing my PhD, I would have research opportunities if I stayed in my home country but I went to the UK and become a programmer instead 😅
I'm now still in high school and planning to take EE as the major in uni, however I struggle so much with calculus but enjoy physics class. this actually makes me scared :/ nice video, though
I'm considering ee, especially after a semester of trying software stuff which made me wanna kms. Pulled so many all nighters for a stupid first year subject it made me hate myself.
buddy EE and software go hand in hand nowadays. The school I'm attending even mixed their EE and CE majors into one track for the first 4 semesters because of how similar the majors can get
This video isn't bad, but it takes the perspective of someone who was lucky. It's not as simple as just put the effort in and you will be rewarded for it. Engineering is an industry full of men with giant egos, and corporate bullshit. Some professors only care about their research, and once you get out in the real world you will find that jobs are not all that readily available for young engineers, contrary to what we are told. If you do find a job, you will likely be working for a military contractor and you probably wont do any design work. I live in microsoft word. My job title might as well be semantics engineer or process engineer. If you dont want to design things simply to save a military contractor a few bucks, then I might suggest you to do something else. If you do pursue engineering, YOU have to do it for yourself. Download CAD software, buy a 3D printer and learn how to use an EDA program. University probably wont teach you how to use practical tools or skills for making things. Which is what engineering is known for.
If you think a GPA 3.5 < is tough or too much for you, do not get into STEM. All the STEM majors require at the very least a 3.2 GPA, but for prestigious and reputable schools its a must for your GPA to be above a 3.7, or even 3.9/4.0. Its important to look at reputable schools, which for me, since I’m from california, I would aim for either Stanford, UCB (Berkeley) or UCLA. Those 3 schools not only have above average reputation for engineers, but they also have certain more uncommon, yet more demanded engineering classes that ordinary or other UCs/in-state Universities don’t have, which is why they rank as the 3 best schools to study engineering, and yes, they do compete with some Ivy League schools in terms of reputation such as Princeton, Harvard and Cambridge and even though MIT isn’t Ivy League but still one of the best schools for all STEM majors, UCB, UCLA and Stanford compete with MIT course wise. You can go and obtain a bachelors at UC Davis, or UC Merced, but graduating from UCLA or UCB gives you an upper hand since every employer looking for engineers look for specific, uncommon yet most demanded set of skills, which would be evaluated once you’ve submitted your UCLA transcript. The employer will say “oh, this candidate not only graduated from UCLA, but he has completed a series of coursework that gives him the skills we are looking for” (employers look at all the classes you took in all 4 years of university, mostly your upper division courses/classes, to determine which position you’ll be placed in). All this is based on my internship with SMUD, which is why I’m studying Electrical Engineering, concentration in power engineering (those massive electrical power-plants) and I’m also interested in electronics, so I’ll probably take a course or 2 in that field. For those curious on how I landed an internship with SMUD (and how I got accepted into 7/13 internships I applied for), I’ll post the classes I’ve taken at community college.
I graduated high school in spring of 2018, so my first semester was summer 2018 @ ARC in which I took ENGWR 300 (3 units). Fall 2018 - ENGWR 302 (3 units) MATH 400 (5 units, Calculus I) ENGR 300 (1 unit) CHEM 400 (5 units, general chemistry I) Spring 2019 - MATH 401 (5 units, Calculus II) PHYS 410 (5 units, Mechanics of Solids/Fluids) ENGR 303 (4 units, Intro to Logic Design) CISP 300 ( 3 units, Algorithm Design/Problem Solving) Summer 2019 - MATH 402 (5 units, Calculus III) Fall 2019 - MATH 410 (3 units, Linear Algebra) CISP 360 (4 units, Introduction to Structured Programming) ENGR 312 (3 units, Engineering Graphics) PHYS 421 (4 units, Electricity and Magnetism) Spring 2020 (this semester) MATH 420 (4 units, Differential Equations) ENGR 401 (4 units, Introduction to Electrical Circuits and Devices) PHYS 431 (4 units, Heat, Waves and Modern Physics) CISP 400 (4 units, C++ Programming) ENGR 405 (3 units, Engineering Problem Solving) After last fall, I qualified for internships only if I am concurrently enrolled in a specialized engineering course, which I am taking (ENGR 405). I get paid 19/hr since my unweighted GPA was 4.2 and my weighted GPA was 3.9. I’m going to keep my internship for an year so I can complete my IGETC since I focused only on my lower division major classes, so I should transfer next spring semester (next year) and obtain junior status.
Any negative comments but Electrical engineering is the most interesting branch than any other in engineering branches..............love EE u fill definitely feel more pleasure here.than other
I have about 5 years of combined real world electrical experience. Split between industrial and shipyards . Can Any electrical engineers tell me if it makes me a good candidate for electrical engineering programs ?
I'm an Electrical Engineer, graduated January last year. It's a fun degree however do be warned. Dependent on where you are in the world, a job in this field will be really hard to get. I've been looking for a job for 1.5 years. The reason of me getting rejected from 20+ jobs is not because of my grades or my person, but because of lack of experience and the amount of newly educated engineers greatly outnumber the need for newly educated engineers in this field. That being said though, the skills you will learn can lead to a number of jobs within transmission, distribution, automation, consulting and R&D. Personally for me I only barely passed programming, which means I'm excluded from jobs in the automation sector which is probably the gold mine for getting a job (in my country at least). So my number one advice: Pay attention in programming! You'll be excluding yourself from a big market if you don't learn it. However don't let my sad perspective ruin your wish to study this major!
Thanks for the advice. It was very important for me to see your comment. I went to the comments section specifically to see if anyone wrote anything about programming.
@@cocothetimeless8382 I live in Denmark, strangely enough I managed to land a job roughly 6 months after posting this, and to make things even more ironic, it's with a software company.
@@WHiPCPL good to hear you found a job. it seems software and programming are the trend these days and the sector will only grow ... I'm currently in my freshman year of engineering and i guess i should put in some effort to learn how to code.
@@cocothetimeless8382 It definitely is. Although you should probably know this: Unless it's embedded programming you won't need to learn coding so "intensively". What I mean is, my job doesn't require much coding from my side, just some linux commands here and there. I would still pay attention in programming because you'll never know what you'll need, but I don't code much outside of using linux commands at the moment.
The part about not being able to party or have fun is a very misleading statement. Engineering is a lot of work, and you won't have as much free time, but as long as you're managing your schedule well, you'll almost always be able to find a chunk of time to take a break and have some fun; with the exception of busier times of the quarter/semester like midterms and finals. In fact, it's unhealthy to do nothing but study
Rivash Mothilall hello, this is Katerina, I have an electronic engineering degree too, from Albania, but i just moved to the states like a week ago, as a legal permanent resident. Can you please help me find any internships or entry level jobs that would suit me? I really need a job but in the meantime, why work at walmart when i can actually make use of my diploma you know?

I thought i was a genius and smart from birth . Electrical engineering degree changed my perspective 💀 im in top3 university in my country , exams are way harder
woah woah woah, im an electrical engineering major and i party all the time! no im not a genius i only have a 3.55 which might not be good enough for some people, but its definitely possible to maintain an ok GPA and party, i even somehow manage to find a girlfriend and am maintaining a healthy relationship, though the stress is literally killing my soul, on the brightside ive got an internship with the Biomedical robotics division of a company called Stryker so thats cool.
Practical skills are just as valuable if not more valuable than knowing calculus 3. You learn the most difficult concepts of engineering in university. No one in their right mind actually uses those concepts on a daily basis, unless they are doing cutting edge research... which doesn't pay.
Electrical Engineering is the hardest engineering discipline to study. IT will make you lose your soul at one point. The workload and assignments are demanding.
I started with vocational electronic in high school for two years. It got me far since it was 1981 in the recession. Not engineering level. No funds... Even after the military VEAP program... It'll happen.
I have to disagree with you on this. It’s not easy to become an expert/professional at something. If you want to become the best, you have to act like the best!!
Im a irregular 3rd year electrical engineering student I don't know about math in fact I have a grade of 75-76 or 3.0 which is just right in passing grade both in highschool and college i can't even do calculus but I pass both cal 1&2 and Differential Equation with magic (you know what I mean) I know from my self that my goal is to become a teacher but I take the harder course which is electrical engineering just to end my life hahahaha yeah that's my story until now I'm still struggling I hope I can pass this course 😩😩
How was this video about electrical engineering, lol. I'm an EE student and if you want to know what it's actually like, look up videos on circuit theory and calculus 3, differential equations, and power systems.
I should’ve worn a mouth guard while sleeping through my EE. I cracked two molars from grinding and clenching my teeth and had to get two root canals from the stress cracks. I got through it with a 3.8 but studied 14 hours per day. Life is much better now working.
I'm 14 and ready to pick my subjects I'm wondering if additional mathematics, physics, chemistry/principles of accounts and technical drawing including the mandatory subjects are right for me.
You sound like you're from Zim. :-) If you want to do Electrical Engineering then Additional Maths, Physics, Chemistry etc are all good. Technical Drawing is okay but not essential.
Are you from malaysia? I took additional maths , physics, chemistry and bio. Currently im in my first year of electrical eng. I would suggest you to replace the technical drawing with something like comp science. Nonetheless it's still ok
you don't have to. Passing AP classes means you won't have to take those classes in college again. I never took any AP classes in HS but still I am majoring in computer engineering and I am in my third year of college.
Electrical engineering is unique in it's way cuz it's the only stream where you face situations which you need to imagine and it's not possible even through visualisation cuz the existence is at micro level.Say fleming's rule for flux,current direct and conductor moving direction....
When demand is significantly greater than available opportunities, it makes sense to place requirements that grant these opportunities to the most deserving students first. And, with all due respect, GPA is the measure of how bright and hardworking a student likely is.
@Snarky I guess most people complaining about the inaccuracy of GPA is just to use it as an excuse to not study and still have an ego to call themselves smart.
It is absolutely bullshit. A degree is a degree. Engineering contractors who do place that on their job requirement are probably not worth your time, because it's a toxic environment for sure. Dont fall for this. Pass your classes and move on with your life. That is all that is required.
I’m so glad I already know I want to major in EE I just graduated and I have 31 college credit hours already without even stepping on campus LMAO. I wish I can go back in time and flex on my punk ass 9th grade AP English teacher cause she told me I wasn’t gonna amount to anything and she was flexing on the class cause her son had like 22 credit hours 😂
5 years ago I was a junior in high school and decided I wanted to pursue an electrical engineering degree. I distinctly remember watching this video and feeling a bit intimidated, I was an average high school student at best. I am happy to say that in just a couple months I will be graduating with a bachelors in electrical engineering, and will likely achive an even higher gpa than I had in high school. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so much for this comment! It makes me very happy to know that this video made a difference in someone life! Congratulations and good luck on your career!
I’m in second year but I feel the grades are losing my hands I study every day but when I go to quiz I forget every thing I’m suffering with this I need to advice help me I feel I will give up .
I came to know that there is not such a engineering called ece (electronics and communication engineering) in abroad. But it's one of the famous degrees in India. Some say ece in India is similar to ee (electronics engineering) in abroad. Is it really true? And will I have any disadvantage if I go for pg in abroad after completing ug in ece in India?
I agree chemistry is the easiest to get the highest grades but in my eyes chemistry seems to dry and unengaging. The three more really require your most of your thinking cuz its mainly composed of problem solving, while Chem is somewhat partially memorization which I dislike.
Wait, so you are saying an engineering degree is not easy?! And companies prefer good grades over shitty ones? No way! Wake up. No useful degree is easy and nobody goes for bad grades. Sometimes, especially in the rough modules like calculus, good grades are straight up not possible. When 85% fail the course but I succeed, even with the worst possible grade, I'll hit the club asap. Im studying computer science with good grades and still have plenty of time to do other stuff. Of course that varies, but usually, every student should have time to enjoy themselves, if not, maybe you lack some talent.
