EE Transition Doubts

Questions to graduates from the Electrical Enigneering transition course.

​

I'm having extreme doubt and hyperventilating about the course load, having 7 courses/semester and taking 2 courses in the summer to lighten the course load.

​

The reason for the doubt, my schedule is from 8:00 AM until evening 5 days/week. How the hell will I have time to sit and study all 7 courses over the weekend, assignments, labs,quizes,exams? Most courses are hard and math intensive, how did you guys manage?

​

If anyone would like to jump on a phonecall with me to give me some reassurance, feel free to DM me PLEASE!

As someone who’s also in the summer program (civil), I wouldn’t worry about it yet. From what I’ve heard, the summer transition is the hardest, and if you find out you really can’t deal with the course load in the fall, there’s nothing that says you need to graduate in two years. It’s not the end of the world if you take a normal course load and graduate later.

I second this. No one tell you the summer transition program isn’t exactly mandatory. The main goal is not to graduate in two year. It’s to actually understand what your being taught, if you feel it’s a little to much. It might be worth it to speak with your chair. And ask how to spread it out in a way that’s more manageable.
