Very true, but I think all the more basic shit like circuit theory one could all be taught as a 2 semester hands on lab and lecture rolled into one. Then again a lot of EE students I know don't give a shit about hands on, hell a lot of them couldn't wire a f'ing light switch if you told them to. So many people in my circuits lab last semester couldn't figure out how to wire up a circuit of 5-6 components with the diagram right in front of them. 'Twas ridiculous. I'd like to see them solder oh god... frightening

Now if I could have classes where we actually discussed real world applications and studied them as would be used in practice as an engineer, I think I would enjoy that quite a bit more, but not so much. It wasn't that it was based on real world applications but when you have profs who understand that you need to learn by applying something it makes it easier for them to cater to you. Having more personal time with the professors was the real key probably. You mean everyone doesn't learn by assigning problem after problem from a text book and doing it over and over? speaking of, I really ought to start on my hw tonight....

And the difference in real life? I get to train some people on some things I don't understand tomorrow. Ought to be fun since I don't feel like studying tonight either. Eff it. I enjoy it a hell of a lot more if I can see it in the first place and put my hands on it. And for being a EE I don't know shit about circuits and can't say its the most enjoyable thing ever. I really don't want to change majors 3yrs into engineering again either. I'm planning on finishing the EE degree with power systems (easiest and sounds most enjoyable) and work in the shop for 5-10yrs and get my own custom business up off the ground. I learn with my hands as well, practical knowledge >> theory. unfortunately, engineering is almost entirely theory You should have gone to a smaller school then. Small classes = hands on discussion, instead of lecture. By default it makes it a lot more hands on (not in the literal sense). Hell Physics is rather theoretical, but I made it through by discussing practical applications to understand really how it worked. Thank god for the profs I had access to though otherwise it would have been tough. Of course you get rather personal instruction when your senior year major classes averaged 4 people and they were taught by a prof as there is no grad school associated. Fully aware.

not too terrible As long as the connections have been properly broken in. no worries, I sell a device to pre-break them in for you. Now for a super low introductory price of $799

seriously lol my favorite place for a nap

4 days of classes left :woot:

Sounds like a good law to me. I'm all for personal freedoms, but they're privileges, not rights. Abuse them, and away they go.

They're hippies; what'd you expect?

Doing quite well thanks ... yourself? You need to poke your head in here more often. Stop by this thread I mean ... venture outside and you may blow your brains out. pretty good actually. had a rough year or so, but pretty well buttoned down now. yea... I kind of noticed that. what happened? FItards

ours was a 9lb giant lol, wonderful doggies

what about Blizzard?

holy yikes, the 70s exploded all over it http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1967-Chevy-...9QQcmdZViewItem

I'm sure there were nicer parts to the cities that I saw as I stayed fairly close to I10

mmmmm, thats a good sandwich

Lord, why does this only seem to happen in Texas & Florida? It's the wang and taint of america. Don't take that personaly, I love miami and though I only drove through texas it has some of the cleanest nicest looking cities I have ever been through. =P The cities in Texas I've been to certainly haven't been anywhere near clean (El Paso, San Antonio, Houston, Beaumont)

OMG yes I love that truck. Have had some videos of it saved on my comp for a couple years now. I'd love to do that one day, but realistically for now the most I'll probably see is a SC Drop the 6.0L in your truck, that engine is badass. mmmm, LQ9.... I'd like to get my hands on a couple of those
