Thinking about going back to school for Engineering. I like the idea of a career centered around making things. I am trash at math and science but I am willing to put the effort in to learn. Do you enjoy your job/classes if you’re still a student?

If your bad at math and science, school gonna be a son of a b****, its full of differential equations and calculus and physics.

I don't work as an engineer, even tho that's my degree

I don't even know what the job would entail tbh

Anybody who knows anyone hiring for remote engineering jobs HMU tho lol

need a dispenser here!!

I do wish I had scientist or engineer friends.

So I was pretty capable throughout most of high school. In my junior year they pushed me into an advanced precalc class with an incompetent teacher who let us bullshit and passed out B’s. I failed the AP Calc exam my senior year. And then I didn’t take any math classes other than basic required courses through college.

I think at this point in my life, I have the discipline to put in the work to learn the required math. I definitely didn’t back in high school and my first few semesters of college. I’ll for sure be a few steps behind everyone else though since they’ll be coming out of high school with their AP physics and Calculus classes fresh in their mind.

What do you do for a living, if you don’t mind me asking?

I’m a software engineer

What type of engineering? I could be considered a computer scientist/software engineer

I will say u should have a strong passion for math, like u should be watching videos or reading books about math or related topic for fun. Otherwise it isn't worth it

Gang

I work in IT now, my first job after college was software consulting and now just manage our EHR. Its easy but probably not up to my potential

I breezed through high school calculus and math, college math classes weren't terrible, but certainly were a step up. Calc 1 was basically a recap of high school with more difficult algebra, Calc 2 was new concepts (imaginary numbers, logs, etc), Calc 3 was multi variable, and then was differential equations (all before engineering classes), these are basically weed out courses. Along with physics, chemistry, biology.

Engineering courses were more theory in my experience, and were a mix of differential equations and physics, along with life sciences (my major was biomedical engineering). I literally could not for the life of me pass these classes today lol. Junior level courses were certainly the biggest struggle and toughest concepts to even get a grasp on.

I never studied at all in high school, but spent many addy fueled days stuck in the library in college, was a huge step up. I wish I just would have went for computer science looking back because I have much more desire to do that than whatever an engineer does lol.

Calc2 for me was tricky cus of the integrals they'd throw at u, also things like integration by parts or variable substitution

Man yeah its been so long I barely remember what it entailed lol, I think it being all new material vs essentially a review of AP Calc which Calc 1 was was the biggest change for me. I graduated in 2015, its been a minute haha.

Having a good professor played a huge part ime too, as some were so ass or so hard to understand, it made the classes unnecessarily difficult.

Network Engineer, the alphas of the tech space.

do yall even make algorithms

Nah, but I bet you don’t know how to configure vlans and site-to-site VPN connections between firewalls.

RT me @Undecided

No math is no fun

Shut up nerd before I shove you in a locker.

lol

The crazy part is I'll body u then watch a video about neural networks

LMAO

Mechanical here

Electrical engineer here. Math is the foundation of everything. If you're weak in that then you're screwed.

Engineering the goat major

IT might be the move fr. Gotta get me some certs

Mechanical also.
Ironically, a lot of people who choose engineering, which should be a practical mixture of math and physics ain't that good at it. Think about how many people pick engineering, realistically how many of them are naturals and talented at those?
Engineering ain't about talent or not being trash at phys or math. It's about putting in the effort really
