College PEEPS - Summer registration starts next week

[TENGRAM]

Robotics?

I wish. No, this class is "Introduction to Automatic Controls". The material (differential equations, feedback loops, root locus plots, bode/phase plots...) isn't too difficult but the tests take twice as long as the time allotted and we can't use calculators.

[TENGRAM]

Disagree.

Technical writing and public speaking are two skills I would consider invaluable. If your job puts you in the position to send emails or verbally convey your ideas to any sort of outsider then you need to be able to communicate effectively and accurately... and people notice spelling.

Yeah, I suppose I misspoke (go figure...). Communication skills are very helpful, however, and what I meant to express was, engineers are notoriously poor at it. This is, of course, a bit of a stereotype but, as we all know, stereotypes exist for a reason.

Was hoping to be able to go down to 12 hours, but its just not happening. Maybe a Friday off? Nope.

Digital Fundamentals (Yak)
Drafting
Programmable Logic Controllers
Unit Operations (?)
College Algebra

I registered several weeks ago. I'm taking leadership and intro to private investigation

I'll be done in July.

Make your average engineer talk to a random girl for 5 minutes without talking about their chosen profession and see how well it works out.

"Bro, I'm an engineer, I think I've got a better handle on this Ikea furniture than you do."

My summer and fall registration was in March.

What sucks is I found out I won't be able to graduate with my masters until next Spring since they decided the last class I need didn't need to be offered in the fall. Fuckers.

Seems strange to me that you can enroll in the above classes without at least passing Algebra

[talisman]

Lol...and that's another misconception. Engineers work with more people than you'd think.

Just because they work with many people doesn't directly mean they are "skilled" at it.

I was thinking the same thing. I have had college algebra, trig, pre-calc, cal 1, 2, 3 and now DiffEq. But I don't think he is engineering. His might be a technical degree.

Actually, I do have to communicate with many people everyday in engineering. Think gawd four speel √.

I never had a problem with it. I was typically better than most of my business, history, art, and other major friends.

Everyone is different, but I know a shit load of engineers that have great social skills.

[Ruffdaddy]

Haha very true, I should have said effectively.

[helosailor]

Just algebra for me. None of the other few classes I need are offered in the summer session, or at least not during the normal dates. Soooo, I guess instead of graduating at the end of fall, it will be the end of next spring.

Actually, Trig is a prerequisite for some of the classes I'm in now, and I havnt even had alegebra. I don't know how they allow it, but there are several people in my same situation.

Instrumentation, and Computerized Control Systems

I'm finally done after this semester(B.S.E.E.)...now I just need a job.
