1995 BSEE
1998 MSEE
My son just got his EE diploma and started working (just this week) at TVA. Due to Covid, he did his work at the kitchen table - all online classes. I had a little calculus as a Civil, and whatever calculus I had - that ship sailed long ago. The math he was doing blew my mind - Fourier series, LaPlace tranforms, 3rd order differentials.. on and on. YES, I salute those that got an EE degree. You nailed it with that statement.I'm guessing I saw you on campus at some point. I started in EE in '93, thought I was going to lose my mind and switched to ME around '96 and graduated in ME in spring of '99. Then went on to become an electrical engineer. Then I took and passed the electrical power PE exam after multiple attempts. My hat is off to anyone to graduated in EE, not to mention masters!
Congratulations to your son graduating! Yes that math is mind blowing. I'm 46 and my parents still live in the house I grew up in. They recently purged some things and brought me boxes of my college stuff I had no idea they kept stored all these years. I saw some of my notes. I don't remember doing all that stuff. Heck, my handwriting doesn't even look like that anymore. No way could I do that today. My mind isn't the same.
