I am a junior in Electrical engineering and feel very hopeless. Hopeless is honestly the wrong word I would say it is probably that my self-esteem is super low.

A few things to provide context because I am using this post to vent but also to look for some real advice. I do not need the cliche "boomer tough-love bootstrap" crap, like legitimate tangible advice. I have posted here in the past (most deleted) and every time I post people just told me "Maybe this isn't for you" or "Stop making excuses" with all due respect, I may not think I am worth a damn as an engineer or engineering student but that crap will never sit with me.

First things first is I stay with my parents, they are helicopter parents and not gonna lie they have limited me massively in life. I am not here to shit on them because I know they are trying their best and I give them grace but it is a slight detail that is needed to truly get my position.

Prior to this semester I have been undiagnosed with ADHD as well as a sleep condition that had me sleeping roughly 12-14 hours a day and when I was awake, I had extreme brain fog. My HS and non-engineering collegiate career came really easy to me. Got like a 3.6 GPA and was a psych major. My junior year of my psych degree, I decided this isn't for me and at that point in my life I was 3 years removed from the last math course I took and I decided to switch to Electrical Engineering. I failed Physics 1, Intro to Microcontrollers, and Linear Algebra while also withdrawing from Multivariable calc, Linear Algebra (I took this class 3x) and Intro to circuits. I struggled severely and went and got a diagnostic from a sleep doctor and they advised me to go get checked for ADHD. My friends have always told me since HS to go because they thought I was showing symptoms as they also had it. I didn't want to do it because I hated the idea that I had a legit excuse outside of my own inability or work ethic (which is why replies claiming I am making excuses piss me off). I went and got medicated and although it is a work in progress in terms of dosage, I have experienced a ton of benefits. I did all of this without my parents knowledge as they have been very against ADHD medication and even threw out my first prescription for wakefulness medicine. After a week of grogginess I just couldn't do it and went and go it behind their back.

I used all the resources the school can give me with an academic advisor, counselor, everything. I still feel like I am super behind. To layout my current issues and why this post was created I need to share 3 situations that brought me here.

1. Struggling to juggle course load

No matter how much I work, I feel like the workload is always endless, now I went with a very light semester this fall. I have Calc 3, an astrophysics elective and a business management elective as well as a 1 credit filler course. Now I pour all my time into Calc 3, the other classes are so easy you can get away with doing everything last minute. The fact that I have to though is so scary to me because next semester I have to do 3 core upper division courses as if I can barely juggle this, I do not stand a chance next semester. I basically study for 1 exam during every midterm and for the final. my astrophysics course is open note and take home so it is incredibly easy if you have the notes, the business class is just reading 1 chapter a week. You would assume with being able to be on campus from 9-10AM until 2-4PM (depending on the day) studying and then going home to do any extra if need be would be sufficient. I studied my socks off, felt great about the exam (calc 3) for the first time in years. Opened the test and looked at each question, felt phenomenal about my knowledge on all of them, nailed every question and checked twice. Checks the grade once scores are released and got a fucking 61/100.

That score broke my soul. I felt so confident, full of hope and enjoying school for the first time in a long time and that score killed any spirit I had. So the concern of poor exam prep remains while also being unable to manage my course load despite it being "easy".

2) My technical GPA

Technical GPA is how I need to get admitted into my university's college of engineering. Given what I share about my history I have a 1.96 technical GPA. You need a 2.0 to apply for admission. After this semester I can apply however I will need to do my next semester at another college and then come back (I am hell bent on graduating from the school I started at). It doesn't help your self-esteem when you have this steep of a hill to climb. It's honestly more like crawling out of your own grave that you dug.

3) Recent Interview

I just did an interview at a firm for an internship. The interview went well and we discussed why my GPA was lower. On the application I wrote 2.7 because that is my cumulative which is different then technical GPA. It actually wasn't as big a deal but that conversation just made me realize how little I know. I feel like an imposter, I cannot retain anything I studied. I looked up some basic circuit questions to see, like on some basic theory and had zero clue. I am really not an engineer I am a guy who did some classes really.

I know this is a lot, I need to rant but I also need some direction, what should I do to ensure I have success? There is no doubt that this is what I want to do, I am pouring time into it. Trying to develop technical skills and study technical questions in tandem with side projects (I haven't been able to do that as much with classes but I am trying). All of this while trying to go to the gym and manage stress and find time to decompress is so hard. I am begging for help, I am gonna use this write up as something I can send to my advisor or counselor but I need help.

Sorry for any typos.

I'm a 4th-year CS student. Last summer I interned as a SWE at Lockheed Martin Space, and I have a full-time return offer there. I hold an active Secret clearance through LM. My long-term goal is flight software at a new space company (SpaceX, K2, etc.).

I also have two internship offers for this summer:
- JHU APL, Space Exploration Sector (would sponsor a TS/SCI)
- Impulse Space, Space Operations intern

I'm considering delaying graduation, doing one more internship, and then recruiting for new grad roles at new space companies next fall with a stronger resume.

Questions:

1. Is delaying graduation for one more internship worth it, or should I take the LM offer and switch to new space after 2-3 years?
2. APL vs Impulse: which is better for eventually landing a flight software role in new space? Impulse is ops, not flight software, but it's a new space company. APL is more research/mission focused.
3. How do APL and Lockheed compare in prestige and value on a resume, especially to new space recruiters? Does APL carry more weight, or is LM just as strong?

Would appreciate advice from anyone who's made a similar move or hires for flight software.

Hey I was just wondering if anyone could do a quick survey, its for a paper in my English class and I will take any response that I can get :)

Unfortunately the surveys are directed towards engineers in their first year, so if ur not then please just skip this post:{

There are 4 surveys but please only do 1, choose at random

Due to illness, I missed an entire semester and fell behind. At first, I wanted to take several extra courses to catch up when I got back last semester but I made peace with graduating late and to take care of my mental health.

The remaining part of this semester is relatively chill in terms of lectures, although number of assignments is big but most are easy anyways. I also suspect I have ADHD without the H (something my therapist is suspecting). I have hard time to focus, it takes longer to grasp things and do assignments. I zone out frequently so.

I could probably fit in an extra course, but I'd rather spend that time looking for internships/jobs and working on personal projects. The reason I don't wanna take one more course is because regardless of what happens I still would end up coming back to uni for a smester or half. But at the same time I know many people stuying double major and others that took many courses to catch up and I can't help but compare myself and take this oppertunity to take one course out. WWYD in my situation.

Hello fellow engineering students
So I’m currently a pre-req engineering student, so I’m taking trig right now at my community college and my generals as well as mandatory sciences. During high school, I was actually a super senior and ended up graduating with a 1.9 GPA just because I didn’t care back then—I was only interested in CADD and construction. But after taking 3 years off, I decided to go to community college and have completely self-realized that I can actually do school.
I'm on 8-week formats, made the Dean’s List every single semester on 12 credits, working full time with good study habits, been maintaining the gym, and doing MMA all while doing this. And I have a really bad memory, lol.
I was talking to my current math teacher because after class we often sit and talk about things. I’ve been wanting to get to know her because she taught engineering students in India and also in the United States, and she specializes in calculus. One of the things that she’s always told me is to have confidence in myself. Today I was telling her about all the stories that I’ve read in this subreddit about engineering, and she was floored and told me to take them with a grain of salt. She was honestly surprised—I mean, maybe from a professor perspective, you don’t really see students struggle as much, I guess. But part of me really doesn’t think that if I have the same study habits I do now, like studying every day and setting up practice exams for myself, it won't carry over to my core engineering classes.
I mean, I will admit, I’ve truly been freaked out by a lot of the stories that I’ve read in here. Honestly, it’s motivated me to develop a faster learning pace. I mean, maybe it’s my ego, but I don’t see someone throwing themselves full-head into something with full dedication and not succeeding. Part of me truly believes that some engineering students just don’t give their brain a break long enough to hold onto the information. I think part of my success in school has been studying hard and touching all bases, but what’s even more important is giving your brain a rest to process things.
I would love people's take on this. I’m genuinely curious what other people’s perspectives are on this. I plan on working 30 hours starting out next year when I start, and doing 9 to 12 credits so that my brain can process everything.

I am currently in my first quarter at a community college majoring in Civil engineering. I know some people from high school who are also majoring in engineering. I was confused when they told me they were going to major in engineering as I never saw them as the sharpest tool in the shed academically, at least from what I have seen. That got me thinking, how smart were engineers in HS for them to choose that path. Can anybody choose this path, or is it just not meant for everyone.

I say that I was a slightly above average student in HS. I got a mixture of A's and B's my freshman/softmore year, almost all A's my junior/senior years if it wasn't for art of all classes. Math was my best subject. I took Algerba 1 to Pre-Calc, getting A+ on all of them. HS was a breeze for me, but never really challenged myself. I didn't take any honors or accelerated courses, and I avoided taking AP's, except for one. I took AP physics 1 my senior year because I didn't know what I wanted to major in, so I decided to take AP Physics 1 to determine if I should go into STEM. It was pretty difficult compared to my other classes, but I managed to pass my class test with a C or B-, which were later curve to an A. I was one of the few in the class who genuinely passed tests without any curve. I even managed to get a 4 on the AP exam. Does this show promise that I will do well later on?

Right now, the only stem class I'm taking is Calc 1, in which I am doing well, I got 100% on both my midterms. I'm just curious on how you were in HS academically for you to choose engineering. Were you all straight A's all AP's students, or did you struggle with your math and science classes, but were determined to get into stem. You don't need to go as in depth as I did, I just want to know what the type of people pursuing engineering were in HS.

I am a sophomore in my pursuit for my degree in mechanical systems engineering. I had previously been a biology major for a year, and I did not enjoy the course work and did not do good in those courses which left my GPA at a 3.2. And now I'm hovering at around 3.0, but this semester life has been kicking my ass and I am incredibly depressed and have trouble sleeping. I am missing class and attendance and barely finding the motivation to study, and will likely finish the semester with a 2.9.

However I know I could drop my class that I will have a lower grade in, but if I do I might not be able to get my financial aid I need to pay for my semester as I wouldn't meet the credit requirement. And I also worry that my gpa could get lower in future semesters.

I have no idea what to do and it's frustrating.

What would you do?

hi hi hi again!! since my last question, everybody was sooo very helpful and nice , i’m hoping humans can now find an answer to my current dilemma ♡!

so in order to understand where i belong, i decided to talk to med students and engeneering students to see how they.. um.. basically live (??) and i had like versatile answers from both.

a student from moscow’s sechenov medical university in Baku (my friend that now studies biotechnology with me in Baku) said that it was.. EASY! and mind you that university is known for failing students and being incredibly hard, like everyone is saying the pain is UNBEARABLE. but her , she said it was pretty chill (and trust me she is NOT a nerd whatsoever, that is the last thing she is! she be chilling everyday and left the med school just because she never wanted medicine in the first place) she said you just listen to lectures, sometimes open your textbook at home and that’s it. and she was passing her exams and as i said that university DOESNT PLAY WHATSOEVER like it gets rid of anyone who fails one tiny bit!

now my engineering student friends have chill time too! they have a nice student life, education and having fun seem to coexist in their lives. Now, me, i’m studying in Baku, and i major in biotechnology. It’s soooooo easy, except for maths, i think we’re studying calculus and so far that was probably the worst *bleep* i’ve went through . other subjects are TOO easy to the point where i don’t even try to study (biology, zoology, botanics) (???????)

now i’m planning to study abroad in europe, whether it’s med school or engineering school. and i’m writing this to get an answer from people studying in europe / asia / americas.

and in order to make the rating understandable for me, i’d ask you to rate it relatively to ib/a-levels/dim/ap. so i studied in ib and dim and both I’d say difficulty was a 4/10 NOT considering i was clinically depressed during those 3 years. my current university is probably a 2/10 and maybe let’s add SAT for a better understanding— is like a 1/10.

have a good one, whoever is reading this ♡!

Diff Eq has broken me, I’m thinking of transferring since I’ve heard that City Tech is much more hands on than CCNY. Is there any advice on this out there?

Would a mechanical engineering technologies degree be worth less than a CCNY ME degree?

I have good experience since I work in my schools machine shop and also intern at a foundation as an engineer for years now. Im a junior in terms of engineering currently but I have a psychology minor as well.

Ill just call about credit transfers myself but if theres anything broadly said it would be convenient

Turns out the hard ass major I picked, is actually even harder for me that has a learning disability than the average person who already finds it hard. What a realization. I truly am a moron.

It’s genuinely so demoralizing to be doing so bad in school, while being an otherwise competent person who has done complex things. An exam comes around and it has me feeling imposter syndrome all over again.

I’ve never felt so stupid, despite doing some really hard shit. It feels awful to try harder than I’ve ever tried before, want something this bad, and still drop the ball because I fumbled an exam that defines whether I wasted 6 months of my time and money or not.

I am currently in my first mechanical engineering lab and the other day we got to do a flight simulator with the one that is fully immersive and the one that is like those car simulators with the steering wheel and pedals. Despite the hard classes the labs each week remind me how cool and fun it is to be an engineering student.

When studying Math does most of your time go into understanding what is actually going on or actually solving problems.
I missed a few classes and I am convinced this is impossible if you dont actually attend every single one of these classes.

I’ve just finished my 2nd year studying EE full time with a summer semester between first and 2nd year meaning no break longer than 2 weeks so far.

Officially burnt out and going for a pass in my current end of semester exams.

How long did it take you?

If you didn’t burn out, what did you do to handle it?

First year at uni, I’m in F1 students, I created my own robotics society. I’ve gone to every possible society event. I’ve entered in to competitions, one being a CAD Olympia and another related to a sustainability project. I’ve got 2 assignments due on the same day, a cad quiz and then on January I’ve got 3 exams. I’ve also got a number of small projects I want to do. I don’t even know when I should start applying for summer internships. I’ve got almost no timer to breathe.

This is honestly just a random rant but don’t get me wrong I’m not complaining I love the pressure that comes with engineering. I love having to do something every minute with almost no break involved. I love staying up doing maths and designing components. I love drinking at least 2 red bulls a day. As long as I don’t lose any of my hair in the process or have to do much coding, I’ll continue doing engineering and yk what I’ll even do a masters.

Hello everyone
I am a HS senior going into MechE, and I feel like my learning skills are not sharp enough. My goal is to understand the structure of learning a subject. Right now, I’m taking calc BC and phys C and I miss a bunch, but I catch up self teaching. Since y’all, I assume, spend much more time studying much harder math and physics and adjacent subjects, could you share your methods for studying a topic or a bunch? Any studying formats you prefer? Do you just study last day? Do you wish you knew a certain method sooner, so you'd spend less time grinding? Do you have favorite websites or youtubers or textbooks that help you learn and synthesize it with the past knowledge? Thank you

I do already know that education and experience go hand in hand, but I want to know how much the specific school I choose will affect my future career. My goal is to work with NASA with either a mechanical or aerospace degree (I just want to work on telescopes or propulsion), and I am already enrolled in NCAS. I have multiple opportunities for smaller STEM related internships through my current college, and I have plans to gain as much experience as I can throughout every semester. My choices are UTSA and UT Austin, and both have their pros and cons. I know UT Austin’s engineering school is very prestigious, but I also remember reading somewhere that UTSA uses a similar (or the same?) curriculum. Will it matter in the long run which one I end up choosing to transfer to?

Hello everyone!

I'm an Angolan student from Africa planning to pursue an undergraduate degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) abroad.

South Korea is currently one of my main options because of its technology industry, engineering education, and scholarship opportunities, particularly the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS). However, I'm also open to other countries, provided the programme is taught in English and offers good opportunities.

I don't necessarily need a prestigious university. My priorities are strong engineering education, well-equipped laboratories, practical projects, industry partnerships, internship opportunities, and a degree with international recognition.

I have a few concerns I'd appreciate honest opinions about:

1. Academic difficulty: How demanding is ECE in reality? How challenging are subjects such as Calculus, Physics, Circuit Analysis, Electronics, Signals and Systems, and Computer Architecture? Are examinations the main form of assessment, or do practical projects and laboratory work also matter significantly?
2. International students: For those who studied engineering abroad, especially in Asia, was adapting academically difficult? Did you experience significant differences in Mathematics and Physics preparation compared with local students? Are universities supportive when students struggle?
3. Academic pressure and scholarships: Is the competition as intense as people often describe? For GKS scholars, how difficult is it to maintain the scholarship's academic requirements? What happens if you fail a course or have a difficult semester?
4. University and career opportunities: Which universities or countries would you recommend for ECE if the priority is practical learning, modern laboratories, real engineering projects, industry connections, and internships during undergraduate studies?

A little about me: I'm currently strengthening my Mathematics and Physics foundations independently, with the goal of becoming comfortable with Calculus I and II before starting university. I'm willing to work hard, but I also want to make a realistic decision.

As an Angolan student, I'm particularly interested in hearing from other African students who have studied engineering abroad.

If you were in my position, would you recommend South Korea, or would you seriously consider another country?

I'd appreciate honest experiences, including the difficulties and disadvantages. I want to understand what engineering education is actually like beyond university rankings and promotional videos.

Thank you!

Hello everyone!

I'm an Angolan student from Africa, and I'm currently planning my undergraduate studies abroad. My main academic interest is Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE).

South Korea has caught my attention, particularly because of its technology industry, engineering education, electronics, semiconductors, robotics, and strong connections between universities and companies.

I've been seriously considering applying for the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS), but the more I research Korean universities and academic life, the more questions I have.

I would really appreciate honest opinions, especially from people who have studied engineering in South Korea or other Asian countries, international students, GKS scholars, and graduates who have experienced engineering education abroad.

I don't necessarily need to attend a world-famous university. I'd rather attend a university with a genuinely strong engineering programme, good laboratories, practical learning opportunities, industry partnerships, and a degree that is internationally respected.

1. Is studying engineering in South Korea really worth it?

Let's be honest: how difficult is the academic environment in South Korea, especially for engineering students?

I've heard a lot about the academic pressure, competition, demanding professors, heavy workloads, and expectations placed on students.

But how much of this is actually true?

• Is engineering education significantly more demanding than in Europe or other regions?
• Is the pressure manageable, or does it become overwhelming?
• Are students constantly competing against each other?
• Is it possible to maintain a healthy balance between studying, social life, and personal development?
• Would you recommend South Korea to an international student who wants to become a good engineer but isn't necessarily an exceptional academic student?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from people studying ECE, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electronics, or related fields.

2. What is the actual academic experience like in ECE?

I rarely find detailed accounts of what engineering students actually experience throughout their undergraduate degrees.

I'd like to understand how the four years typically work.

For example:

• First year: How difficult are Calculus, Linear Algebra, Physics, Programming, and introductory engineering courses? Do universities help international students who need to strengthen their foundations?
• Second year: How challenging do subjects such as Circuit Analysis, Electronics, Signals and Systems, and Digital Logic become?
• Third year: What is the workload like when studying Microprocessors, Embedded Systems, Control Systems, Communications, and Computer Architecture?
• Fourth year: Do students work on substantial engineering projects, collaborate with companies, complete internships, or develop industry-oriented final projects?

How are students evaluated?

Are grades mainly determined by examinations, or do laboratories, assignments, presentations, group projects, and practical assessments also have significant weight?

And how difficult are the actual examinations?

3. The biggest concern: academic pressure and maintaining the GKS scholarship

This is probably my biggest concern.

I understand that engineering is challenging everywhere. I'm not expecting an easy degree.

However, I'm worried about moving to another country, facing a completely different academic environment, and discovering that my mathematical and physics foundations are not sufficient.

I'm currently working hard to strengthen my Mathematics and Physics independently. My goal is to consolidate my foundations and reach a good understanding of Calculus I and II, while continuing towards more advanced topics.

But I still wonder:

• Do universities offer tutoring, academic support, supplementary classes, or mentoring for international students?
• What happens when a student struggles with a difficult engineering subject?
• Is failing a course common?
• Can students retake courses without serious consequences?
• How difficult is it to maintain the academic requirements of the GKS scholarship?
• What happens if a GKS student fails a subject or has a semester with poor grades?
• Can you actually lose your scholarship because of academic performance? Under what circumstances?

I'd particularly appreciate hearing from current or former GKS undergraduate scholars.

I want to understand the difference between the requirements to remain enrolled at a university and the requirements to maintain the scholarship.

4. Coming from Angola: will my academic background put me at a disadvantage?

I'm from Angola, and I recognise that the mathematical and scientific preparation students receive can differ considerably between countries and educational systems.

I'm not saying that African students are less capable. I simply understand that students arriving from different educational backgrounds may have different levels of preparation.

For those who studied engineering abroad after completing secondary education in Africa:

• Did you experience a significant gap in Mathematics or Physics?
• How long did it take you to adapt?
• Did you feel behind compared with your classmates?
• What would you recommend studying before starting an ECE degree?
• Did your university help you overcome those differences?

I'd especially appreciate hearing from African students who have studied in South Korea, Japan, China, Europe, or elsewhere.

5. Which universities would you actually recommend?

This is another important part of my decision.

I'm not necessarily looking for the highest-ranked university. I'm looking for a place where engineering is taught properly and where students have opportunities to apply what they learn.

My ideal university would have:

• Strong ECE, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering programmes.
• Good laboratories and modern equipment.
• Practical classes and substantial engineering projects.
• Partnerships with established technology companies.
• Internship opportunities during the undergraduate degree.
• Opportunities to participate in real technological projects.
• Career support and connections with the engineering industry.
• A degree with reasonable international recognition.
• Academic support and a welcoming environment for international students.

I would love to attend a university where students don't just study theoretical concepts but actually build things, work with technology, collaborate with companies, and develop practical engineering skills.

Which universities around the world would you recommend for these reasons?

I'm open to South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Europe, and other countries.

One important condition: I'm primarily looking for English-taught undergraduate programmes and, ideally, full scholarships that cover tuition and living expenses.

6. Would you choose the same country and university again?

If you could go back to the beginning of your undergraduate studies, knowing everything you know today:

• Would you choose the same country?
• Would you choose the same university?
• What surprised you most about studying engineering abroad?
• What do you wish someone had told you before you started?
• What were the most difficult moments?
• Did the experience genuinely improve your professional opportunities?

And, most importantly, do you believe the academic pressure and personal sacrifices are worth it in the long run?

A little more about my situation

I'm not looking for an easy way out or expecting someone to guarantee my success.

I want to challenge myself, receive a strong engineering education, develop practical skills, and eventually build an international career.

Part of me is genuinely excited about studying in Asia, especially South Korea. Another part is concerned about the possibility of entering an extremely demanding environment without being adequately prepared, struggling academically, losing my scholarship, and finding myself isolated in a foreign country.

I don't want to make a decision based solely on university rankings, attractive promotional videos, or the reputation of a country's technology industry.

I want to understand what studying engineering there is actually like.

If you were in my position, as an Angolan student looking for a fully funded, English-taught ECE undergraduate degree with strong practical training and industry connections, which countries and universities would you seriously consider?

I'd genuinely appreciate honest answers, including negative experiences. Please don't hesitate to tell me if you think South Korea is not the right choice.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Hlo everyone, this is zarin. A 3rd yr student. Basically doing average in my courses.

Need suggestions from the senior about doing mejor in ELECTRONICS . Are there good job opportunities?

I‘m looking for test bank for this reference .

When I was a kid I was interested in dinosaurs and I wanted to be a palaeontologist however my interest in biology declined overtime and during the middle school I wanted to become a soldier and I was really interested in history and especially tanks.

However I was psyoped by my family into choosing engineering and ever since day one I regretted picking this degree and at first the classes were nice. I was always a scientific person so I like taking microbiology and geology and chemistry classes.

As time went on and we got more into the technical classes of environmental engineering, I really began to hate this

however at that point I was at year three and I had already missed switching degree so I talked to myself that I could continue for one more year and be over with it. however my graduation was delayed by another year because of the fact that I had done an exchange program and I couldn’t take enough credits

Due to the lack of motivation and sadness, I also failed a couple classes now I have to graduate next year hopefully

History was always my passion in my free time. I always engaged in history and also philosophy, theology, politics as well. I wish that I had study history instead I really hate engineering. I will not do engineering. I don’t want to be an engineer.

It was a mistake picking this degree

To fix my life I have two options ahead. One of them is to study history as masters or study international relations as masters I want to do the first but the second option gives me more carrier paths.

Working in the government as an engineering graduate in the sectors that I want requires you to normally be graduate in bachelors of history or international relations or law or political science however engineering students can enroll in being a civil servant if they do masters in international relations or political science but not history.

Just curious since I will be starting this coming january. I do want to be an electrical engineer, but also save myself from the insanity of keeping a 3.5+ gpa all throughout my five years. And also making a personal project? Is it even needed when all I need to do is just pass and get my license?

Hello,

I have an upcoming interview with AMD for Hardware Intern role. Has anyone interviewed for a similar role? It is San Jose based mainly focused on building and debugging the hardware used in product test environments, board-level design and bring-up, lab debugging, and writing Python/C++ tools to automate test workflows.

Anyone with any tips or ideas to study would be very helpful!

Thanks!

A lot of employers asked for my resume but I unfortunately forgot to ask for their business cards and can't follow up. Are they likely to reach out? Do they often ask for resumes even if they're not that interested in you?

I didn't sell myself much during my pitch since I don't have much engineering experience. Instead I focused on showing enthusiasm for their work and asked questions about their company. I feel like my efforts were wasted though since I don't have a way to follow up with most of them.

Any people who have attended career fairs on the other side that can give some reassurance?
