Haha, Mech.Eng (along with everybody else here). I paid my way through an Automotive Design degree ten years ago. Great time, but just about worthless as a bankable degree.

for now, you just keep designing those awesome parts and finish Diana.

Im about to begin semester 2 of 4 to finish my business degree. I was going to take some summer classes to finish a little earlier, but I think Im going to study for another License/ Registration for my work so I can move into a better position. Im currently holding a Series 7 and 63 and will be working towards a 24. Fun stuff.

So everything went fine except for prob&stats, which I just didn't put enough effort in.

Since I have to take that in the summer, I dropped Differential Equations this term as well, leaving Thermo/fluids II, Design II, Mechanics of Materials, Dynamics, and Hist of Eng.
This is my 5th semester in classes, and the first time I've actually liked all my profs.
My Thermo II prof started off with "I'm a car guy, I own 4 cars because I had to sell some... it just wasn't manageable" so that's great. Everyone else is generally nice but at the same time have a "cut the bullshit" attitude.

I took over the FSAE team with my buddy in Civil, so dropping DE will hopefully give me enough time to not run the team into the ground and attend meetings. Only issue is that the summer classes typically conflict with competition.

What will you be going for?

So many engineers in this thread!

Add a pilot onto that ;D

Wow ya haha

Civil up at uvic and got my last final of the semester tomorrow morning and cant wait to be done. Only 2 semesters left for me!

[Wschnitz]

pretty sure i failed a course rip,

Yeah Im taking an Easy CS course this winter, I dont want to be here 5 years.

I had the same experience with heat transfer. Had to study my ass off to get through that one. Anyone here take winter courses? I was enrolled in one, but decided Id rather not pay x3 the cost of a regular session course. Puts me at 17 units for my last semester.

So many engineers in this thread! Hell yeah! I’m an ME at Georgia Tech. One more semester left! Can’t wait to be done.

Slacked off throughout this fall semester. Probably my hardest semester at Tech. Heat transfer, machine design, experimental methods, hybrid powertrains, and history of chairs. Never thought 15 credit hours could be so much work! Glad final weeks is over. Studied my ass off for the Heat transfer final and some how got a B in the class. An 80.7. So borderline! Had to get an A on the final, and I did. Barely. The Machine design final kicked my butt though. Get the grade back for that on Monday.

Very excited to get back to school this spring. Both kids are now in school and my wonderful wife has a little more breathing room.

What will you be going for?

Done, finals are easy.

Wednesday's Final went ehhh I feel okay about it but 4 hours of straight math with only 8 problems was brutal. It's like information overload. We sat in basically a gym 1 person per table since there aren't a lot of kids taking this math methods course and it is only really for electrical engineering students. One kid got caught cheating towards the end so I'm curious to see what happens to him, Professor said you should probably expect seeing the dean to him but still let him finish the exam to my knowledge.

Today was Signals & Systems I and it was a slaughter house. I was the second to last person to hand in part one no notes and I feel okay about it. But Part two was impossible.! I don't think anyone understood everything on the exam every single person was there even after the two hours. Prayer for a curve and just to pass this class. This professor is 90 something years old and has no mercy.

I'm so dead, and have one more final to go tomorrow. C++ and I'm not that great at it so it probably won't go well either. Literally want to just die.

Two finals tomorrow and then one more semester before I graduate as an ME. Wooo

Similar situation... I have two finals left this semester and 3 more classes next semester to graduate as a civil engineer.

Well no calculus itself doesn't go away but that's not what I was saying. I don't have to take any more calculus courses. I'm fine with doing math when it's applied, but math courses are very hard for me to focus on. I'm looking forward to the applications, courses such as thermodynamics, strength of materials, etc. The math is what intimidated me when I started engineering school but now that I'm done with the calculus series of courses it has given me confidence that I can do the rest.

Rushed classes like your upcoming probability and statistics course suck, but at least that material isn't too hard, I took statistics and analysis courses for my first degree and they were not too bad.

Sociology, ugh. Those courses tend to be a bunch of hardcore postmodernist jive these days. Sure am glad I decided against grad school when I graduated my psychology program.
