 Posted: Sun, 11th Dec 2011 23:54 Post subject: 3 programming classes in one semester..and my school is dumb |
|
 |
Java...which is fucking dumbshit, while all the cool kids learn C++
Assembly...is pretty fun but the proffesor graduated from my school, which makes him pretty dumb..since school is dumb as fuck!
Verilog (HDL)...lmao, our school does not even provide software to compile any program that we write for homework. There is are compilers out there but it uses Command Prompt to compile anything, everyone wants pretty gui..so kids are too dumb to use CMD..since they are all rocking lolololmacs...had to downloadong 5gb software on my shitty internet that does not even work unless i pay like $2000 for license
my head is going to explode pretty soon
apparently English department makes curriculum for Electrical Engineering Department.
They thought it would be fun to give Architects student mandatory class in Computer Hardware because you know..they use computer and all...what the fuck flipflops, latches, basic binary logic has to do with it??????
And also worth mentionting Electrical Engineering students NEED TO TAKE FIVE courses in ENGLISH.
This semester, I learned fourier,laplace, z transforms all in 15 weeks!
Pretty much all of the other colleges have each semester for one of these..
And its school policy, that you are not allowed to transfer if you have below 30 credits to graduate!

I just wanted to emphasize, that if I wanted to program all my life, I would have go for Computer Science degree not in engineering
but apparently engineering=programming these days

It's not much different here  . I had a lot of programming (C++, Assembly, PHP etc.) during my first year even if I'm not doing CS. If you're an engineer you gotta know some code..these are the rules 
The good thing is, after you're done with the exams all that (bad  ) stuff will be automatically removed from your head  |

lmao, learn java in 15 weeks with book that has 1500 pages by a guy who complete has no idea how to code, or even write full-scale programs that actually work
that dumbass probably graduated from my school as well!

I usually have 5 to 6 classes per semester, this semester I don't have lab exercises, but I will have that next semester. It's pretty standard around here. Some unis have even more classes per semester (like 8-10, but 'small' ones)...
Once you pass sth, it'll seem silly and you'll look back and see how easy that was and stuff...

Unfortunately for you, electrical engineering does require shitloads of programming nowadays; everything you'll ever do will be controlled by some kind of chip
The reverse is also true, at least for me it was. First year (CS, btw) I had to build a robot to "shoot" a ball towards a source of sound; so I had to build the damn thing, thinking about how to connect everything, route cables, make it sturdy, come up with a mechanism to shoot..and then program a microcontroller to actually do that: locate the sound source, turn towards it, shoot (also had to drive the sound source).
Programming part sounds simple right? It does, until you're told you have to do it in Assembly
Generating sinus waves for one program (sound source) and analyzing them for the other (the robot) - all in Assembly != fun

Yeah but I think most uC's are programmed via c++/c, right?
At least the microchip ones.
I fucking hate assembly.

I did electrical engineering for one year, I was programming all year long behind my laptop. It was the shittiest year of my educational career since I have zero interest in programming. Apparently, a high level electrical engineer is a glorified programmer these days.

That's why we are learning Assembly this semester because next semester I am gonna take LAB, where we will use 8051 microcontroller i think
How to completely use oscilloscope is still a mystery to me

That is a mystery to me as well. Even now, with one year left. I program more, than learn about electrical engineering |

The first three months or so was really fun, perfectly suited my needs. We were building systems comparable to what Werelds described, an elobarate system with multiple variables and outcomes. I felt like a kid building a toy. After that though, the programming aspect started...and never stopped. I felt like I was stuck in the wrong classes. I understand an engineer needs to code too since the system has to work somehow, but completely focusing on coding was really boring for someone who went in with completely different expectations. I always fiddled with C and C++ when I was young, but after that fiasco I never touched it.
