Yes Senior design was a joke. Had a teacher who was near retirement and didn't even care. He didn't teach anything. I decided to do a project on my own, the thing didn't even work and still got an A.
Did you have senior design before graduating? How were your labs (if you even had any)? Have no idea how it was back then, but I did notice that around 07-08 when I first started going there there were alot more dumbasses than there are now (acceptance rates dropped from like 99% tbh)...I saw bell curves too especially during intro classes like physics and differential equations. Have not had a problem with upper level professors though, some of them seem worn out and lazy during lectures but they have good resumes and have had no problems asking questions one on one during office hours.
Ok, Einstein.

This seems off tbh. Did you take an engineering based subs ute for it? I (and any other engineering major) took Engineering Analysis I which was pretty much differential equations. I dont see how you wouldnt need atleast a subs ute to complete your degree tbh.
LOL no, it's just most schools don't spread one course's worth of material over three.
I took Engineering Analysis also (Laplace transforms) but you didn't need to take the Diff Equations course when I went, I took it anyways because I liked math and thought it would help.
You may be mixing up the Differential equations course I am talking about and Cal I which was differentiation , Cal II- integration and Cal III- series, Limits
I forgot so much I have been away from it so long now.
Did the same a couple of years ago in the summer. Didnt see major difference between the two classes tbh.
Damn. Havent heard about that going on right now, but thats pretty whack tbh.
Im pretty sure for the most part UCLA has better professors and students. Not to mention theyre not 40 years old. Why not compare UTSA to universities in their tier ?
If youre trolling, then job well done tbh.
No, I know what you meant. Right now Engineering Analysis I is mostly all differential equations (first order, second order, etc) with some Laplace Transforms, vector calculus, and linear algebra mixed in there as well. Honestly I dont see how anyone could complete any engineering degree without an introduction to differential equations, thats sounds dumb as tbh.
EGR 2323 Applied Engineering Analysis I [TCCN: MATH 2321.]
(3-1) 3 hours credit. Prerequisite: MAT 1224.
Application of mathematical principles to the analysis of engineering problems using linear algebra and ordinary differential equations (ODE’s). Use of software tools. Topics include: mathematical modeling of engineering problems; separable ODE’s; first-, second-, and higher-order linear constant coefficient ODE’s; characteristic equation of an ODE; systems of coupled first-order ODE’s; matrix addition and multiplication; solution of a linear system of equations via Gauss elimination and Cramer’s rule; rank, determinant, and inverse of a matrix; eigenvalues and eigenvectors; solution of an ODE via Laplace transform; numerical solution of ODE’s. One hour of problem solving recitation.

What is the one hour of problem solving recitation about? I don't remember anything like that, the other stuff I saw.
Um, it's one hour a week in a classroom with a TA working on solving problems.
How is lolutsa winning this poll?![]()
Yeah, like actually qualify for and pass a cert test for your career.
