| Talk to your counselor at school. He/she will know the best route for you to take and the fastest way you can complete all the classes. Consider taking as many courses during the winter/summer sessions in order to make up for lost time. |

Yeah I went to see one of the advisors today but she was practically no help. She said "depends on scheduling by the registrar" and "yeah I know the requirements are a little different with the management program".

Your counselor probably will know less about your situation than you do.
Every department at a University functions differently and they all basically contradict themselves in one way or another. If you are not taking the exact courses that are outlined at the exact time they want you to, it can get very fucked up very fast.
Moving forward, Can you not Major in Electrical engineering with a focus in Computer Engineering? that is how it is at my school(also what I am doing). if you are too far into your schooling and you can't focus in Computer engineering, You really are pretty stuck. You could finish your bachelor and then get a master's in computer engineering, but switching majors after your sophomore year or even freshmen is really ill-advised if the majors dont have similar classes.
edit: also this should probably be moved to blogs.Last edit: 2010-09-24 06:24:07 |

Yeah that is an option though it would involve taking a few courses I don't really need. But again, in terms of finishing my program in 4 instead of 5 years now is kind of hard. I hate management . Damn I hate this situation, I guess I might be stuck taking an extra term or two, maybe I will commute to save money or something .
How about the question about the capstone course? |

Yeah most Engineering plans are 5 years, but you could probably take a ton of summer classes and get it done in 4. I don't know what a capstone course is, maybe my school has a different name for that.

Oh okay, capstone here is the final year big project that you do in a team.

oh okay so it is your senior design class. That is something that your counselor actually should know, If you have all the pre-reqs for the course you should be fine to take it. |

Continued from your General posted thread:
Oh some courses will be a near useless for sure, but it's like that for whatever program you go into. There's no such thing as a general engineer, your going to specialize in something. The education teaches you the language and how to think and go about solving problems. But more importantly, it covers a bit of everything in a broad field that you have chosen to study with. It's software, hardware, telecom, datacom, programming, systems, etc. I assume the same concept applies to business, art, leisure studies, history of furniture, calligraphy, and other highly respectable degrees.
It's the on the job training that brings you up to modernized standards and even more in depth with your specialization. With this degree, you can do anything almost and go anywhere. It's not so green with stuff involved with a software based engineering degree. Do not think for a second that the learning stops once your education does. Your halfway there, keep going is my best advice. Best of luck to ya man. |
