Electrical and Computer Engineering at UMD!!!
January 2nd, 2009
This was made for a school project. It turned out pretty good. Not very exciting, but then again Electrical Engineering isn’t a very exciting major…..

Is the USC distance education program a good idea for electrical engineering grad school?
January 1st, 2009
My company would probably reimburse me for a master’s in EE from USC with a minimum GPA of 3.0, while I’m working offsite in the bay area. As a student there, say I email a question to a professor or tutor, will he/she email back promptly, or will I typically get left out in the cold several days while wondering about a homework problem?
I am currently an on-campus Computer Engineering (which is in the EE dept.) student at Univ. of Southern California, and the professors will email you back promptly, usually within 24 hours. If you have the chance to watch the lectures live, you can also call in and ask questions over the phone, while the professor is giving the lecture. Every lecture is recorded and the quality is okay, but they do offer high quality snapshots of what the professor is doing; you will find that most students, including on-campus students, prefer watching the lectures online than going to lecture.
How long do people have to go to school for electrical engineering?
December 30th, 2008
most programs are 4 years for a Bachelors degree. Many people take 5 to do it (especially if working and going to school at the same time). EE is a tough major. Be prepared to work a lot in the first couple years, there are a lot of new concepts that are difficult to understand at first. The EE's that I know tend to like their major, though.
Which school has the best Electrical Engineering program?

IMO in rough order: MIT, Stanford/Berkeley, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign/Georgia Tech/Cornell/University of Michigan/Caltech
Hoofer’s House (Studio): Rhonda Jordan

**Song: “Route. 66″
MIT Ph.D. student and NSF fellow Rhonda Jordan, has been studying dance since age 6 and has formal training in ballet, jazz, lyrical and tap. When she was just 8, she became the youngest dancer selected to participate in the Dance Theater of Harlem residency program in classical ballet, co-sponsored with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington. She has performed in various venues across the U.S. and around the world and has taught dance to elementary and middle-school children in inner-city schools.
However, dance isn’t Jordan’s only love. When she was 16 she entered the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied science at Columbia University to major in electrical engineering. She graduated magna laude from Columbia with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, with a concentration in fiber optics and lightwave communications.
Jordan was named a National Science Foundation fellow and was awarded a full fellowship to pursue her doctoral studies. She is now a Ph.D. student in MIT’s Engineering Systems Division, where she will pursue research interests that include applying systems thinking to address complex societal problems.
Jordan’s advisor, Professor Richard Larson, described her as a “hard-core electrical engineer” who decided a couple of years ago that traditional engineering was too narrow and technocratic. She took a hiatus from graduate school to teach inner-city children in New York City, which so energized her that she sought out MIT’s Engineering Systems Division as a place to develop her diverse skills and broadening interests.
