Science minded people see engineering as trivial. My first 3 semesters of college were in EE before switching to physics. I thought EE would be interesting at first, especially signals. Once I learned the basics of how electronics, computers and signals work, all my interest evaoporated. I don't care about the fine details as long as I understand the fundamentals. A science like physics is concerned with generalities more than the fine details of a particular system. It's just a different mindset which attracts you to different kinds of problems. That said I appreciate what engineers do, and I met some deadly smart classmates in engineering. It's just different strokes for different folks.

The distaste you see on /sci/ for engineers is almost entirely undergraduate dick measuring. Engineers are less rigorous, well compensated, and there’s lots of incompetent undergraduate engineers. Makes them, like CS, a perfect target to the inflated ego and general superiority complex of undergraduate science and math majors.

Ye, they actually have to make shit work. Find a use for something that a scientist would throw away after developing a theory cuz "We know it now, not interesting" and leave it useless. Not to mention the mindset. An engineer is not as interested in the fundamentals as he is interested in the details. You manipulate the details to make shit work differently. Scientists though are focused mainly on generalizing shit.
Throughout my entire childhood I was interested in science and the way scientists think. Eventually I got into engineering in my university years, because not doing practical might be very interesting to me, but I get bored from it easily. Long story short, you can't compare them. It's like comparing your left hand and your right hand. Jerking off with them would either feel completely different or completely the same, in both cases you can't make assumptions or comparisons.

I finished my BA in physics 5 years ago, nearly on the month, being second in my class. Top student works now in CERN, however her father and mother were both engineers, while I am from a poor family with virtually no contacts. Girl got taught calculus during elementary by her parents and basically breezed through college while being one of the best actresses in the local theater too. Tbh she was cool as fuck!

However, back then, nobody told me how important contacts are and how useful seminars and having a presence is... and even before that, in high school, nobody gave advice on STEM, so the first integral I saw was in my Physics 101 class, where the professor said: You should know this from high school, and I was WTF?!?!?!???!!!11 Had to learn everything from scratch.

I just followed the poor people mentality that it is important to have good grades and that's that. Finished my BA and lo and behold, nothing but shitty teacher jobs and a shitty position for a shitty masters was my reward. I was not interested in teaching, because it was and is hard as fuck to get enough classes in one school, so most of the time you have to travel every single day between schools to get enough classes together for a good wage... and fuck that.

Meanwhile, I also lost all interest in doing research due to the "publish or perish" climate, basically meaning you have to work for decades on random projects for a slight chance to actually work on something you are interested in.

Therefore, I figured industry was the way, however, having no contacts and money getting scarce, I couldn't find a job in industry as a physicist, so I started working odd jobs, from bartending on cruise ships, over working in a start up as a web designer briefly, to doing customer service and some physical jobs in between, not knowing what to do with my life.

Now, with 27, I decided to do an apprenticeship for an electrician, and I am loving it! Therefore, I signed up for a BA in EE now.

I just have 2 questions:

1. In your opinion and experience, will me, ultimately probably finishing my BA in EE with 30, be a huge deal?

2. What's a good math book, that actually REALLY gets into the math, but still connects it to engineering? While doing my Physics BA, I found that actually understanding the math made everything so much easier than just knowing how to use it as a tool, and I am looking for a really good textbook that goes on length about actually teaching proper math, but still having it related to engineering. Any recommendations?

Analog systems have noise, which limits their resolution as well. The reification of any mathematical concept necessarily results in approximation, as the resolution of reality is finite.

Correct. Both fields has their fine details. I would actually think that physicists care more about details as their errors will propagate to close to every other field, including engineering.

The universe is made on approximations. EEs do a bunch of math using ideal components and systems to solve a problem, then adapt the design to work with the reality of an imperfect world. This doesn't make the process easier. It makes it much more difficult, especially because the end goal is generally to have the final design be cheap to manufacture.
The "dude just approximate it" comes from the idea that sometimes the value of a component doesn't really need to be exact.
>How much bypass capacitance do we need here? Eh, 0.1uF is probably fine and we already have that on the materials list, so try that.
>Yep, probes out to be good, stick it on the schematic.
Some things don't matter much, so engineers don't care about getting them exact. How much an engineer cares about exactness is directly related to how much exactness matters to solve the problem. This makes the output of engineers cheap, which makes engineers extremely valuable. Theorists who obsess over getting everything exact (because writing symbols on a board is cheap and they're in a huge pissing match to be the most autistic person in their field) make very expensive gold plated designs, and are shitty to work with. So they're less valuable. This really burns their ass because they think their solutions are better. In reality, 1% of the stuff that comes out of academia is commercially viable, and commercial viability is what bootstrapped humanity into industrialization.

It's not exactly the same, but pretty good! I don't care much about which hand I choose now in adulthood. I speculate this is very common among people these days as a majority is watching porn while they masturbate. Btw, I am not jerking off much anymore. I have done NoFap for several years.

>1. In your opinion and experience, will me, ultimately probably finishing my BA in EE with 30, be a huge deal?
No, I think it's completely fine. I know a few people finishing their degree around 30 and getting prestigious high paying engineering jobs. I think it's quite common among failed artists. You should be cruising through BA in EE with your background. These guys didn't even know calculus. I don't think they even had precalc from high school.

>2. What's a good math book, that actually REALLY gets into the math, but still connects it to engineering? While doing my Physics BA, I found that actually understanding the math made everything so much easier than just knowing how to use it as a tool, and I am looking for a really good textbook that goes on length about actually teaching proper math, but still having it related to engineering. Any recommendations?
What type of math? Like calculus? The guys here on /sci/ tends to say Spivak is one of the best Calculus books. I don't think you need a engineering oriented book on Calculus. If you want a good introduction to programming numerical methods from Calculus (highly relevant for engineering) take a look at ISBN-13: 978-3662498866 . This book teaches you python from scratch and meant to be used alongside learning Calculus. I know there are similar books for C/C++ or independent of language as well. C might be even better language for EE. You might know python/matlab already. I am sure you would need to learn C in your BA, thus you should just start on learning that already.

ucl or icl for EE-related MSc?

[Anonymous No.11449388]

I don't participate on this board that much so I can't say.

Second part: Software Engineering. It's my favorite because I was a Comp Sci student with a highschool gpa of 1.7 and university gpa of 2.3 and now I make 170K at FAANG.

This probably sheds some light on the first question.

To be fair, that level of skill will get you 170k at FAANG if you buy yourself a CS degree and grind leetcode for a few weeks. You'll also have to move to CA and live among heroin shooting street shitters while paying $1,700/mo for rent, and your coworkers are the kind of people who make all the super shitty web frontends we live with on big sites these days, but if you can deal with that then you can retire after a mere 15 years of wanting to kill yourself.

pure math gets no hate becuase theres nothing to hate, its all logic that stems from basic axioms. Physics gets hate because they make up random variables and numbers to fit their equations, and engineers get hate because they always complain about how much work they have, even though their problems are way easier than physics/math.

Study groups are the way. Even if you're capable of getting good grades on your own (which you should be if you want to stand a chance on exams and shit) they save you tons of time on homework and shit you don't want to be wasting hours on just to have fucked up something basic on.
But it depends a lot on your school. I went to a very good engineering school where there were good resources to help you (student organizations, office hours, decent professors). Your mileage may vary depending on where you go.

Just get into it at your own pace, if you're the learning by doing instead of studying type then apply for an internship at a reasonably successful company, and in a few months you'll have a job.

I'm not disagreeing, I know engineering majors have a higher workload than math majors. But the quality of work, the level of thinking necessary to solve said work, is much lower. Yet they still complain.

[Anonymous No.11451946]

>>11451892
Much lower seems like an overstatement. You're making it sound like an engineering majors has no need for thinking to solve the work. Also engineers always complain about their work because most people aren't in engineering for their love of engineering. They are in it for money. If pure math made cash you'd bet your ass a lot of pure math majors would be complaining. Also difficulty varies for people, someone that is good at abstraction might be terrible at applications and vice versa.

It's not an overstatement, it's a rather humble understatement as a matter of fact. Look, the intellectual prowess required for successful engineering studies is the equivalent of literally brain dead crack cocaine niggers on a fucking street corner in a Detroit ghetto a late december evening while my big black cock is ramming your mother's asshole into Uranus.
