Engineers *can be* dumb

Just can't hack the calculus, though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I think that is what my shortfall is going to be... 2nd time taking it, and god, I hate it even more this time...

I've got to take calc 1, 2 and 3, plus Differiential Equations....

Oh and engineering physics I & II

Not cool

 

[Untouchable11 10+ year member]

Yep, calc 1, 2, 3, Differential Equations //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Engineering Physics I, II

Numerical Methods, Thermodynamics

Biomedical Engineering anyone?

Architectural Engineering

I am thinking about doing the minor for room acoustics, someone told me about that the other day and got me thinking.

Took calc 1,2,3, still need diff eqns, but I don't think I'm going to take it seeing as I'm in the classes that it's a prerequisite for and I'm doing fine.

Engineering physics I and II, been there, done that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thermodynamics...which one? We have a physics thermo class that deals with macroscopic things and heat transfer, and we have a physical chem course that deals with a molecular statistical approach to thermo. I took that one, a bit tricky, but not nearly as difficult as quantum chem.

Sounds like we've got a lot of engineers/science guys around here. My advice, learn the calc and learn it well. It makes chemistry and physics courses MUCH easier if you don't have to stumble through the math.

Also, picking up one of these guys is very helpful

I'm pretty much done with my EE degree (just need a few more gen eds). I couldnt use it for the pure math courses, but I could use it for just about every other class. I cant imagine going through most of them without it.

Calc sucks...

 

[ballstothewall 10+ year member]

Well, off topic.

I just took a chem test, and failed it....

Well, thats all

A lot of engineers in this forum. I am an ME out of school for a couple too many years now. I know enough about this stuff to where I would install all of it and juice it up. Probably blow something up, but then I get to fix it.

(Not really, but since the engineering stereotypes are flying, I felt I should add this in here...)

Just to put teaching into perspective for all of you, two words... Job security. I am not a professor, but looking at it as the options for a private sector job are becoming more scarce. You all in school should be looking around as well.

A different type of engineer, but I would not let that guy near my console or anywhere near the PA. I would tell him just to leave and that they are going to need to find someone else to mix the show. If no one is around I would do it but they would have to pay me for mixing it. If they gave me static i would start to tear down the PA, it's my gear I can say who gets to run it and who doesnt. We actually have a line in our contract that gives us the power to do this.

What school do ya go to ?

Milwaukee School of Engineering in Wisconsin

We have calc 1, calc 2, calc 3, diff eq, calc 4, linear algebra, and statistics. and that's just the math

That's fairly typical for an engineering degree, not above and beyond by any stretch of the imagination. I've had to go through diff eqns for chemistry, no engineering aspect involved. Hell, we have to go through that for ALL science majors (at least BS degrees).
