LloydDobler posted:I have to admit though, that I was that rear end in a top hat in class who constantly referred to all his life experience trying to impress everyone. We weren't impressed. Especially because most of the guys who pull that poo poo are completely uninterested in any theoretical background and whine and moan when forced to learn any theory or anything involving mathematics. "We didn't use any of this poo poo when I worked at <company name>."

lightpole posted:I graduated with a 2.69 and have never been asked for a GPA. Once you get your first job its all about what skills and experience you can pick up in your field, as well as demonstrating those skills and making sure you have good references. Actually getting your first job can be the tricky part. Really?

Roumba posted:I royally hosed myself hard the last two semesters and dropped my GPA to ~2.25 at the end of my sophomore year. Because of this I've no hope of getting any kind of intern/coop because every one I see requesting Nuclear Engineering has minimum GPA requirements that I don't meet. Should I just switch majors now, or try to claw my way back up and hope that by the end of the next 2/3 years I'll be an attractive candidate for a job? Your GPA is going to follow you to whatever other major you choose. I would just stick it out and stop slacking off if I was you.

Pfirti86 posted:*Where you go to graduate school DOES matter, quite a bit. This advice is only for undergraduates. I agree, but only in the sense that you should be going somewhere doing the research you want to do, not somewhere that has a nice shiny name, just for the sake of the nice shiny name. I'd rather do research I really enjoy at a no-name school than do research I dislike at MIT or Caltech (my favorite schools).

intervoid posted:I sincerely doubt you'll be able to find every class offered after 3pm. Also, you will hate your life. I'm currently a senior in Electrical/Computer Engineering and I hate my life at 15 hours a week of work. The only way I could see you pulling down 40 hours a week of work if you worked like 20 of those hours over the weekend, and then, still, good luck with the homework. Yeah. It would not be possible to get an engineering degree at my school if you couldn't take any classes before 3pm ever. In fact the MAJORITY of classes are (obviously?) between 7am and 3pm.

Phlegmbot posted:No complex math? Or was that naturally covered in your other courses? ie, Cauchy-Riemann, Cauchy’s integral theorem, etc. I don't think complex calculus is taught in a standard engineering curriculum in most places. I'm learning parts of it this semester as part of an advanced math course I'm taking with an absolutely brilliant applied mathematician. Total course enrollment: 4 students.

Diffy Q? That's the most retarded way to write it I've ever seen. It's Differential Equations not Differentially Quations.
