TSR Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EEE) Super Thread

just finished my first year of uni. there was a talk at the beginning of the year about joining the IET. Wanted to but never got round to it.
do you think it would be a good idea of joining the IET and/or IEEE?

Thanks

Hi everyone,
I'm struggling between UCL and Bristol. Both seem to have good EEE departments so it's hard for me to decide
Which one has the best international reputation? (That's quite important to me given that i would like to work abroad in the future)

Electrical and Electronic Engineer graduate : D

I got into Imperial, Bristol, UCL, Notts - and I've just finished my first year at UCL for EEE. If you have any questions feel free.

Top tips for first years?

How do you find UCL in general, and the course there? I've been reading mixed reviews all over the place, but not relating to EEE, so I don't have a clear opinion of the school.

I don't agree whenever people define a uni to its social life. A social life is about YOU socialising with others and making friends and you being able to hang out with them and having fun. You'll get that everywhere but the great thing about UCL is that you'll find lots of people doing lots of courses so you'll find many opportunities at learning more about others. This will develop you as a person and UCL allows you to do that - without sounding too criticising of Imperial - you would not find as varied people there, certainly for me whom I could hang out with.

Its in central London. Needn't I say anymore? It's the best city in the world.

They've changed the course quite a lot for us as first years so you will be sitting the first year that we did for the first time. They've made the course much better. The engineering department has taken on board the recommendations given from industry - the sorts of skills that they are looking for and have adapted their courses for this. This shows UCL does not want to back down even in engineering. I don't know why it isn't known as much, probably because of low publicity (medics and economists are well known) but the Engineering is really good. EEE is one of the largest departments in the uni, certainly one of the bigger engineering departments. We have scenario weeks which are project weeks, there's a good balance of practical v theoretical. The lectures are really good - make you want to attend unlike I know from some lithe universities that my friends go to. Best of all its in London so you're never short of any career opportunities.

Enjoy your first year. Make as many friends as possible in the first term. With your friends it'll be much easier to revise, do assignments and generally keeps your morale high through any hard bits that you're hating if at all through uni. Your assignments won't count for as much as you think. But the main exams at the end of the year will. Do not compromise on any revision time for those. Revise for those exams like you've never before because you will be able to recover poor assignments from your exams. Also be nice to your tutor as they will probably write your reference for any internships. I was nice to mine and he just gave me a paid project to work on over the summer. Always look for opportunities! There are always there, especially in engineering - there is always something that can be done better.

Why did you choose UCL and not Imperial?

Decent material to read for EEE for my uni application?

Applied to Southampton FY as took the wrong subjects

Doing FY or year 1 for EEE ?

FY

Looking to do EEE after ?

Yep
