Tips from a Computer Engineer in his last week in undergrad: 1. Visit office hours, even if you have no questions. Name recognition is everything and more often than not, you can get helpful tips on study topics. I have even gotten exam questions ahead of time from professors who want to reward interest. 2. Love the process. I averaged 40 hours a week in the library (this does not include class time). If you do not love the material, or are not willing to force yourself, you will have much difficulty keeping up. 3. Study with people smarter than you. You become who you spend time with. If you spend time with non-motivated students on their third round in the class, you adopt the mindset. 4. Value delayed gratification. You will have to make sacrifices. If it was easy, everyone would do it.

I have to disagree with some of this, but it varies by the person. 40 hours a week in the library is A TON. it may help you, but for a lot of people that’s unhealthy and won’t help at all because they will be so unhappy and stressed that they can’t keep up. For office hours, if the professor can’t teach during lecture they aren’t going to be much use in office hours. This heavily depends on the school too.

Don't cry. GPA may be important for screening at transition points as between undergrad to grad school, or school to a first job, or back to school, but good performance with recommendations from employer to employer will help you improve your first job to second job, then second job to third job situations. Your work performances, your after-graduation on-the-job networking, and your persistence toward work and life goals are much more important than GPA.

What's GPA please ?

1) Go to class 2) Do the homework and don’t look at chegg until you’re done or you’re really stuck and have tried to work through a problem for more than 15 minutes 3) Read the textbook and get an idea of how different problems are set up how you’d solve them in your mind 4) Pay attention in fundamental classes. At times they may seem dull but they will be your foundation for courses down the road (calc 1 and 2, statics, thermo, physics, circuits)

Let add few on Time Management. As engineering students, we really need to know how to spend our times otherwise we end up screwing up our semester (speaking from experience). Also, staying awake late night is one of the major reason why we ended up doing nothing productive the next day. Try to go to bed at 10 and get full 8hours of sleep, wake up around 6 or 7. Write down tasks for the day and try to complete it. I'm pretty sure at the end of the day you will have 2-3 Hours to have fun.

To those who are down bad right now: I failed differential equations, probability/statistics theory, electrical networks analysis, and signals and systems on my first attempts. All of these were the "weed out" courses at my school intended to reduce the amount of students that move forward, but I didn't give up easy. It sucked so bad and my gpa was a 2.1 at one point, but I pushed forward each time and now I'll be graduating by the end of this week with an EE degree at exactly a 3.0. There's always hope, so just dip deep and keep on keeping on!

@@davidobenitez3866 As a final year electrical engineering student i want to impart some knowledge to you in hopes it will help: 1. Very few people are actually born good at maths, for most of us we get good at it through A LOT of hard work and grit. This is fine because performance in maths scales with your dedication level, just don't expect to understand everything off the bat when you first see it 2. Get good at maths as soon as possible, everything in trigonometry, algebra and calculus will be useful. Maths is actually the easiest thing in an engineering degree, the hard parts involve APPLYING maths and physics to engineering problems (it is not linear problem solving and is more a case by case analysis) 3. Probably avoid electrical engineering if you still find yourself struggling with maths after awhile, it is a hard major where you can't afford the time to be patching up maths skills along the way (there is a lot more abstract concepts and other things outside of maths to learn, for example embedded software, control systems etc.)

Solid advice. The opportunities exist and the idea to keep in the front of your mind is that you are building your resume. It needs to tell a story. The story is part GPA, part internship/co-op, research with teacher, projects on your own, etc.. Just listing your courses, regardless of what university you attend, doesn't make you stand out amongst the other 40,000 graduates each May.

why do you fear networking?

Make your exact predicted schedule for the next week at the end of each week and commit yourself to it. You'll have a lot less stress when you know exactly what you should be doing at any given timeframe. Leave room to adjust so as to deal with unexpected events adequately. Study fast and rigorously. Try to engage with the material as hard as you can. The more "friction" or resistance you feel towards whatever it is your studying (like, sometimes even painful), the more your mind is trying to establish synapses and make new neural connections. Once you understand enough of the material and a bigger picture of it forms in your mind, you'll skyrocket from there and will start to actually like it. Studying slow not only makes your work take longer to finish, but also gives your mind excuses to wander off bc it's not fully engaged with the topic. This means that the faster you go, the better you study as you slowly adjust to higher speeds. Don't worry about not understanding things at first this rate, just mark them and come back to them after a while. Believe me, making this a habit will not only change the way you study (for better) but will also make you faster at everything else. It'll change your life. Also, try to enjoy it. Convince your mind that this is exciting info it's gathering for future successes and applications. Never choose short-term pleasure over long-term satisfaction. Suffering is good if you consciously decide to take it on for the sake of your goals and dreams. If you don't pick your poison, life will pick it for you and you will not be pleased with it.

I would add staying on top of requirements for your program, like gpa minimum, max attempts at a class (my school only allows 2 attempts total), and any changes to what classes are required. I recommend meeting with an advisor at least once a semester to check in and make sure you're on track and find out about any new changes or resources. Also, if you're going to a community college then transferring to a 4 year degree, make sure your credits will transfer (get it in writing if possible). I know a lot of people that have had set backs due to a requirement they didn't know about!

Also do college in the high school (I graduated high school with an associate's degree and am about to graduate university at age 20), or pursue community college after high school to save a ton of $$$. You get a higher GPA because community college courses are a lot easier than the weedout university courses, and you get the same exact classes for like a fourth of the price.

An additional piece of advice I recommend is to become as skilled as possible in various software tools and development environments that are available. As strange as it may sound, becoming very skilled in things like MS Excel can really showcase your abilities because most people that use MS Office only use the rudimentary features. One thing that honestly got me in the door in one job is because I knew how to connect Excel directly to a database via ODBC and make Excel documents dynamic. Also, perform some job searches for specific companies you are interested in and find out what specific skills they are looking for. Each company maintains different systems. Some may use Salesforce. Some might be using bug tracking tools like JIRA or Bugzilla. Understanding their current implementations and familiarizing yourself with those solutions is a great asset and will be looked upon favorably by the company.

Taking a summer class lower my gpa. 5 weeks to learn data structure in java was pretty difficult. When you said the average gpa for engineering student i started to have hope again.

Great content, I wish you have million subscribers by end of next year

Nice! You must be very smart, chem engr is considered the hardest engineering :) I'm a civil engineer. What's next for you this summer? You have an engineering internship?

Jake Voorhees my friend said mechanical was hardest : thermofluids gearatio equations etc.

Not sure why I watched as I finished my computer engineering masters five years ago, lol... Bur great tips! I will also add that for programmers, one of the best resume enhancers is having contributed to open source projects on github and the likes... It really gets the recruiter's mouth watering!

Helpful 🙌🙌

guy u r so useful, u r more like engineering journalist!

As a sophomore civil engineering major at manhattan college, I say with experience that anyone thinking about taking online summer courses SHOULD ABSOLUTELY TAKE THEM!!! My college requires that we take some form of religion 100, 200, and 300 level courses, and I took both 200 and 300 last summer. Now, I have one more social science to finish up next summer and I’m all done with GE’s. For me, they were 7 weeks long, had about five assignments a week, and were quite possibly the easiest A’s that I’ll ever get in a course here. You will never, I repeat, NEVER, regret taking summer courses, especially one that’s online. Best of luck to all my fellow engineering majors out there! You got this!

Nice tips

I am chemical engineer student thank you so much for this excellent tip.

While these tips do help, the biggest thing is perseverance. There will be a lot of tough classes, there will be a lot of work. But nothing worthwhile in life comes easy. Some classes are meant to weed out people however if you get help and surround yourself with people who also want to succeed. College is tough and engineering is one of the toughest majors, but if you want it bad enough, put in the work and you will succeed.

Hey Just wanted to know that are grading systems different in India coz in here we are asked to maintain a gpa of 7.5 and above

I love your channel.. And I'll love to be a Engineer.

0:30 network is most important, or have parents or friends in the company

This video is perfect.

Well sir❤👍🏻

“Making connections is really important” Me with crippling social anxiety: 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Yup! You're an engineer? Cheers

Thanks! I'm a 12th grader who will be graduating in June 10th. Planning on taking on mechanical engineering because of how broad it is career-wise.

earned a new subscriber .... :D

Please make video on important skill requirement for mechanical engineering student

Love you Man! Pumped up I'm. BAHAHAHAHA!

I knew someone whose parents are part of a small engineering company and she said they are looking for internships. I told her I would love to learn more and if she could get back to me with more information. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 situation just destroyed that.

I would like to ask, I'm not sure between college on space engineering and cybersecurity and I'm not sure which of these two schools I'd like to do, so I'm doing "research" on what I'd like more and so I wanted to ask you what to watch out for and ask type when choosing. Otherwise, I'm very enjoying your videos, keep going like this.

I was hoping to start my own projects after college maybe with a part-time to cover the costs of living, that's the main reason I got into engineering, to begin with, to have that freedom to be able to do whatever your creativity allows. Not rush into a 9 to 5. My GPA sucks since physics kicks my ass but I'm very sociable and know everybody from freshman to senior, I already have 3 or 4 potential projects that as soon as I have the required knowledge I'm going to start working on. Mostly bio-engineering stuff and bio is mostly 4th-year classes. (engineering last 5 years where I'm from)

When I worked at NSA many years ago, I was surprised to see all the high school interns we had. Some got pretty good positions in comp sci or in admin or whatever. You might want to check into it as NSA is very high-tech oriented (math, engineering, signals, comp sci, EE, plus foreign languages, etc.) and they would definitely want to hire you when you graduate from college as you will have a Top Secret Special Intelligence security clearance with several accesses, and this is HUGE with them and a lot of other employers.

Yeah that's a great employer for sure, big budget for big projects. You had an engineering position with them? Cheers!

No, I was an analyst and intercept operator with foreign language skills. But my desk was right across the aisle from a guy with a Ph.D. in some kind of engineering, and some of the people that I would hang with were engineers. Plus I had to know weapons systems, capabilities and platforms and associated other technical data backwards and forwards, so it wasn't entirely non-technical. Of course, mathematicians were big with them, and one gifted young lady with an M.S. in math doubled her salary her first year with bonuses 'cause she was so good at cryptology. It could be a good gig for any loyal American citizen with a clean background. Plus you get to see a whole array of technology that won't come onto the consumer market for 10-20 years. I had a lot of fun there and got to know a lot of intelligent (some scary intelligent!) guys and a lot of good looking girls (and yes, they were very intelligent too, and ambitious, too). But you've got to pass a stringent background test and polygraph exam. They went back to my second grade teacher and childhood friends, etc., and I was 27 at the time, and my background check took about nine months. I did have an acquaintance who worked there and loved it and he had done drugs, but he was totally clean for more than a year and they let him in. So they're reasonable.

Wow awesome story, thank you for that. Yeah I hear you about tough background checks, and allll that. Appreciate all the info, thank you :)

We don't have 3 months of vacation in Italy that would be great, we usually get a little more than 1...

That’s true the other months are usually full of exams 🙂

Experiment with studying on your own. Working with people can be great, but it can also be: -distracting -give you a false sense of understanding if you’re all working on the same problem -take up time meeting, setting up, and doing stuff after -make you compromise what you’re focused on with the group Studying with friends can be super useful, but personally, I prefer chegg and a quiet desk
