<p>hi all
I am sure you have get bored because of me and my topics:(,I'm sorry guys but I have no 1 else to ask except you:) >>that's the good point.
as usual ,I kept searching,reading and listening to students stories about engineering schools.
some of them are good and some are horrible.
of course not all the students are engineers ,some of them have friends who are.
I will be majoring in EE next year as you all know,so any 1 who is an EE student right now or was please tell me your experience.
my dad's friend is an EE ,he told me that an engineer who is graduated from an accredited US engineering school will have all the doors open>>he's an engineer here in Syria,what do you think?
I intend to spend the first year at Cleveland state university and then move to Case Western or Ohio state university,my main intention is to be an athletic at CSU "swimming team" in order to get some kind of Financial Aid from the university I will transfer to,what do you think about that too??</p>
<p>I have reviewed the CWRU & OSU curriculum for EE,and I can say there are more subjects than CSU ,how can I indemnity the lessons I missed??</p>
<p>some 1 told me that when he was an Engineering student ,he couldn't have time for his girlfriend and sometimes he felt like he made the wrong decision,I felt miserable when he told me that.</p>
<p>I am really confused now because of all these stories...what do you think I should do now?
I can't choose another major because medical school is my nightmare and I love engineering,it was my dream since for ever.</p>
<p>best;</p>
<p>I know very little about job conditions in Syria. No one in the US could really tell you what you need to know.
Financial aid for internationals isn’t glamorous, but you might be able to get something. Email the financial aid office of the school you’re applying to and ask if you have any shot at a decent financial aid package. It all depends on the school. Athletics may or may not help you if you’re a top athlete; I know coaches reserve a few admission slots for top athletes, so maybe they can get aid too.
Why are you so intent on transferring? For most situations, it’s more trouble than it’s worth.
Stories are stories, and seldom do they tell the full truth. Unless the school is notorious for bogging students down with work (US schools usually don’t do this but it’s common practice abroad), the necessary study time is inversely proportional with how well you understand the material. Some people are better than others, but the very best are always the ones that do well in their introductory calculus and physics series. Some people just can’t make the cut, but you can usually see that by the first year. If you can’t wait for that, try learning calculus yourself (from a reasonably good reference, like a textbook or khanacademy) to see how you fare. If you can’t understand it, and you also can’t understand it throughout your first year of study, that’s a pretty good indication that you won’t survive the degree. But universities let you know how well you will fare throughout the course quite early.
For the most part, American schools don’t attempt to cover everything in an undergraduate degree, so you might not get every single class you need for everything. It’s just a foundation to build upon. A diploma doesn’t prove you know how to do an engineering job; it just proves that you are competent in that field of study. Everything else you have to learn yourself.</p>
<p>@NeoDymium:
thanks a lot my friend.
if I find CSU interesting in the freshman year I will stick with it,if not then I will apply to OSU.
for the calculus thing I have learnt the pre-calculus from a textbook called “pre-calculus for dummies” and it was really fun,so I think I will do fine with calculus.</p>
