What is it exactly...

... that i study. I had a friend from back home ask me what exactly i study and how come i'm never online or if I am always have to leave for a class or study like some nerd (I am one anyways, so whatever). So, for those who are intrested, and those who are reading it anyways, here's what I am going through in my Sophomore year in Drexel University, Electrical and Computer Engineering course.

Energy
- This is the study of complex waves. Sound waves, electrical waves, light waves, matter waves as well as DC ocillating circuits are included

Materials
- Basically the name speaks for itself. The study of materials. This is the hardest among the three topicwise. We have to look at not only chemical compositions but also the structures of materials in detail like ceramics, diamonds, polymers and so on... belive me guys, this is a real doosy. I hate it with a passion.

Systems of Differential Equations
- Also known as mathematical modeling. This is perhaps the most useful and intresting course I have right now. It's the one that requires the most time to study and work out problems, but the things you learn are really important. This is where we basically derive every physical rule through calculus and modeling. You can basically calculate anything that is substantial after this course as well as derive every equation for geometry and physics. Very good. :D

Engineering Ethics
- Basic ethics course. What's good to do, what's a bad thing to do... just be a goody goody and you'll be fine. Relatively easy class, it's also coupled with engineering history as well as labs which take up 3 hours every week. I hate those labs...

Intelligent Systems
- A course about how circuits work. What chips are and basically making the gates work so that you know what chip to use for a particular machine. Alot of programming and memory work on types of chips. Circuit logic is also included here...

So basically that's it. Simple noh?

right... heh...
