Meet the Majors: Electrical Engineering

[Thebrowntown1234]

I got a 27 on my ACT, with 30 on the math section. Could I get into engineering school? I am also not a super math genius; I like math a lot, but I'm concerned it would be too difficult to make it through Mechanical Engineering. Does anybody know if I should try it or not? Or have any advice for me?

@Thebrowntown1234 The other Viterbi Student Ambassadors and I who put together these videos are just students, so I don't know the details about admissions, but if you're interested go ahead and apply! It's great that you enjoy math - you're much more likely to do well if you like what you're doing. Additionally, there are a lot of resources at USC if you're struggling in a class -- professors have office hours, many classes have supplemental instruction, and Viterbi offers free peer tutoring.

I've done a lot of researching of Audio Engineering and one thing that always comes up is getting a bachelors in EE. My question is how does EE relate to mixing, mastering etc. in a studio?

[xMp5random]

This pretty much makes me want to confirm that I am going to choose Electrical Engineering as my profession. Is it worth the experience throughout life is what I'm asking. Like what types of jobs are in stall when it comes down to the broad idea of Electrical Enginnering.

wow i have been lookin into computer hardware engineering but after watching this it got me thinking about allll the stuff that i just look at and wonder how the hell that works that i could learn if i went into electrical engineering now im confused

[kittleboy]

Can anybody help me get admission from USC?

contact me please

[harry37073]

i think i am going to study electrical engineering now,.... thanks,

[umangmuscle]

Does usc has a summer internship programme for international undergraduate students?

[hector87X]

come on with linear systems intro you build an amplifier? dont u need mosfets and bjts for that? i recall intro tolinear system is simple caps and resistors ; op amps...u need a shit load of understanding of differential amplifers to build it.

[bethjovenbabiera]

EE rocks! I'm a freshmen electrical engineering student,and i'm glad that i took this profession.

[metrocoolali]

Right i m also so much interested in alternative E

[razorcooldude]

Hey im interested in communication ..... do u think i should take EE?? i dont mind circuits and other stuff related with electrical, transformers , HVDC etc... but i want communications ....wat do u advice?

[uarhara]

i've been studying computer science for a year and a half and i quit the college i don't find my self in it :(

then i got a scholarship from my saudi government to study electric engineering in canada should i go for it? even that i hate math ?

This video made me want to be an EE, more than what I was thinking, because the fact that you can make amps and music and computer stuff made me anxious to learn in detail these talents. USC is one of the universities I want to go so bad. Great interview, very informative and enjoyable. 5/5 stars for me. Thanks

[bangalibrother]

hey i am looking forward to EE too..i dnt knw much abt it...but heard ppl sayin its difficult...but dnt care ....but i thought of this course for the same reason as by u i mayselfam into guitars...always fascinated by the way they work ...i wonder if i cud do this course and get in to amplifier or pickups modulation or sumthing related.....dnt knw if its the right reason to take up a course like this one...i wonder wat u think i shud do..i am good at math and pretty ok with physics too..

[viterbistudent]

There is no difference between electrical and electronic engineering. Electrical Engineering is a broad field covering many aspects of electronics. It includes computer engineering, digital circuit design, analog circuit design (both of which will be found in cell phones, or other consumer electronics), digital signal processing, communications, and solid-state physics. The thing that links all of these fields is applying these things to electronics or their use in electronic circuits.

so if i major in ee, and i want to work with electronics such as gps systems, cell phones and so on , can i or do i have to major in electronic engineering instead of electrical

[mrlplrofstngth]

Does EE touch on magnetism? I am really interested in this major, but have a lot to learn about it still. Thanks.

[viterbistudent]

Yes, EE deals with magnetism. Electricity and magnetism are some of the elementary concepts to Electrical Engineering. Here at USC all engineering majors take Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism, so learning about magnetism is not limited to EE's.

[sourenaair]

There is an intro on electo magnetism which is mandatory for all,, simply bring a deep  insight about the core of magnetism, maxwell equations. If you are willing to learn more you can take, microwave, computational electro magnetism, wireless...

[fingerboy18]

@mrlplrofstngth Hey, if you aren't in the major; why would you know it already haha? EE covers so much. Analog design (DC and AC), digital design, communications and signals, some programming (C++, assembly language), Transducers..
