As an Electrical Engineer with a PhD in Statistical Signal Processing, I must say I had the biggest smile in my face when I saw your favorite class was DSP. Signal Processing is so cool... you design a filter mathematically using complex numbers and transforms and the designed effect really happens the physical world with the actual signal, it is almost like magic! The frequency domain is like this hidden world, like tapping into an alternate dimension to solve problems in our dimension. I also liked the same classes as you for nearly the same reasons. It is nice to see how people who lean toward one area end up having so much similarities. :)

I graduated as a mechanical engineer. However, as luck would have it, I stumbled upon a job as a systems integrator after playing around a lot with the PLC's at the plant I was at. So It's kind of funny to see that even if it's more an EE job, it really only amounted to a single class for you guys. Makes me wish I got a technical degree in control systems instead of a general engineering degree. You touched on it, but this idea of theoretical knowledge vs practical application. I'll tell you my absolute favorite class as an ME though and it was not even an engineering course: Physics 1(2) lecture and lab. They got the formula right on how to make lectures stick with you. You take the lecture for the week, then when you go to lab, directly applying what you've learned in real world applications. My favorite part was the challenges where you are putting a huge chunk of the lab grade on your confidence to demonstrate how well you understood the material. You get one shot and a spring loaded gun. See how close your kinematics gets you to the bullseye, that kind of stuff.

God I wish my University did circuits like yours. Linear Circuits 1 is considered a big weedout course at my Uni. There's no such thing as a circuit analysis class with just resistors. Our first circuits class does resistors, capacitors, and inductors so it's DC and AC together for your introductory circuits class. But we don't have a third class in that series, so it's just a lot more condensed and can be a lot to take in in one semester.

We had to do some weird shit in our bsc degree. For some reason we had a proper electrodynamics class, which was almost identical to a physics electrodynamics class and the in depth wave, antenna and applied stuff was in a seperate class. We also had a seperate semiconductor physics class where our professor went way too much indepth. Materials was another type of this classes. We also had to do Photonics, Sensor systems,electrical energy systems and machinse and drives. I am suprised that you did not have to do Measurement and Instrumentation. Our Professors are under the impression that Arudino is for Children so they would never consider teaching with it and we had a lot more programming.

I know some accredited engineering programs where if the student says the word "engineer", they are handed a list of all the engineering classes they need to take regardless of their desired discipline. Whether you wanted to be an Electrical, Mechanical, Civil or even Industrial engineer -- everyone had to take Statics, Dynamics, Strength and Materials, Materials Engineering, Thermodynamics, Heat & Mass Transfer, Mechanical Drawing (i.e. CAD) and several more. There were 2.5 years worth of classes every engineer had to take. By the time the electrical classes appeared in the curriculum, it was payback to all the Mechanical Engineers who made the rest of us suffer through Thermodynamics. We also had to take various Humanities and Social Studies electives. Imagine an engineer sitting through a Philosophy 101 lecture listening to the professor lecture on whether the table in the corner is actually a rectangle, or whether it is really blue. In the real world, I've noticed that engineers who came from those types of schools tended to run circles around those that only took classes in their discipline. Maybe it has to do with the industry I'm in and how interwoven and varied the activities and positions are.

2 of the classes that I hated at the time were what we called 'Signals and Systems' and 'Continuous and Discrete'. (What was covered in those classes was spread out among 4 or 5 of the ones on this listed in this video.) The biggest thing I hated about them was how they were organized. It was a lot of dry math with no real hints as to how it was going to be used early on. The idea of test functions and what was called signal power and how it fit into a statistical framework just seemed so opaque to me at the time. It wasn't until I started taking my control systems classes that I really saw their advantages.

I'm graduating this year, my biggest regret is not taking DSP when I had the chance.

0:51 What programmers usually do: make games and apps. What assembly programmers do: make calculators run directly on CPUs. Btw, iirc the original Roller Coaster Tycoon was coded in Assembly 😶.

Looking back at it bro I’m a dumbass. I switched majors from EE to comp sci after the end of circuit analysis 1 which was basically your circuit analysis 1 and some of your circuit analysis 2. Because I felt I was a failure because I couldn’t take a problem and design a circuit to solve my issue, I thought it was me but it looks like it’s just how the curriculum is supposed to be… Low key kinda regret that decision now in hindsight…

I am suprised digital signal procesing and control are so far appart. Because control is just DSP, only with the added fun of having to deal with physical systems.

Signals and Systems should just be one course. Then is you want to dive deeper into the discrete side of things one can take DSP... Also DSP is the most useful/best course in any degree ever.

I really enjoyed my signals class. Like way more than I thought I would. Maybe the fact my teacher was great helped, but still I agree not many would probably enjoy it

I always loved math and programming but I do kind of regret starting computer science... I feel like computer engineering or mechanical engineering would have been a much better fit for me to learn at university. and to just stick with learning the programming on my own even though it's what I'm most likely going to do. I just want that knowledge on how to build those things. I don't know if I should change if it's even possible and or if it's even worth it rather than just finishing up so I can get work and going for a masters in engineering or something instead.

Thankfully I realized this and switched to applied math after my first year as a CS major. You really don't ever learn anything of an upper level in CS and only do programming stuff that you could easily learn in your spare time. CS majors at my school don't even take the full calculus sequence and only have to take discrete math and linear algebra on top of that. So essentially you don't even get past basic math, and then you do zero engineering or circuit courses, and almost zero physics. Much better to take applied math, have a better physics understanding too, and then do CS stuff on the side. Or of course electric engineering, computer engineering, or physics or mechanical, etc.

ME here, I agree 1000%. I used to sometimes regret not doing CS. However, after spending much of the last few years learning serious programming and CS topics, I’m extremely grateful of my decision. Engineering school is hard and really teaches you to teach yourself and understand almost any technically complex subject.

Just when I start wondering if I'm too set on EE and started looking at other paths, I see a video like this and ALL of those classes seem interesting. Other paths just don't really peek my interests but everyone keeps telling me as a mom I shouldn't do an EE degree. I'm finishing my undergrad and transferring to SDSU and really excited but everyone around me keeps advising against it because it's hard? Obviously it's hard, the challenge is what simulates my soul so I have been ignoring all the advice.

I'm in a similar position. My father is an EE and my uncle is a ME. They're both sceptical about whether I can do it, but it's just really fascinating stuff and I'm committed to learning it no matter what. If I don't try, it'll be a lifelong regret.

My antenna professor was the lead guy for the whole electrical engineering phd department. Really brilliant guy but my undergrad head was spinning the whole time. Honestly they should split up antenna theory into the easy parts and the hellish derivations.
