design a life-like reactor system??? oOo, May I join? (Hey, a guy likes designing until the day he actually tries it out, and it doesn't even apply to all.:D)

how did my 200 level EE courses go? Why do you think I dissappeared for 4 weeks? I clocked over 20 hours in 3 days at the library. In fact, I spent 3 hours on ONE FVCKING ciruit problem....and don't get me started with Semiconductors. Did you know that fermi-dirac needed a '1-' for valence band holes? I forgot that......and oh I wish I can show you my Matlab graph.

And then there is TechCom.........some times I wonder why I didn't switch over to Econ.

My friends thought I should go to EE, not that I really know why.
But from what I know in chemistry, a "1-" for valence band holes..... that's a pore for elections to flow though right?

right. That's the slot left over when an electron jumps to the conduction band. If you have an E-field, then the electrons, thus the hole, also move.

don't worry vince, by the time you get to 300 level courses or some 500 level courses like me.. you'll realize everything you learned before that is a joke.

I am in a 300 level class, and I gotta tell you, it's a lot more straight forward than, say, circuits, which is a 200 level class.

To increase the comon knowlidge, can anyone tell me how is things done there in USA or canada? I hear lots of talk about midterms, finals, EE levels and frankly i have little clue what are you talking about...

In here our studying year is divided to four periods. We take courses which usually last one period, meaning 5 hours a week lenght. They can also be divided to two periods, like all my courses at the moment. Usually there is examination at the end (propaply similar to your final???) and if the course is divied to two periods there may be a two exams, one at the end each periods (again propaply similar to your midterm?) We usually get 3 points from each courses (if we pass) and we need 240 points to graduate.

Can anyone kindly explain how the things are done in beoynd the pond like we say in here....????

You guys count a recording engineer?

It is not as complicated as your civil, electonic, mechanic engineer.

BUT! it is still a engineer right?

Well, the classes here go either by semesters, twice a year, or by quarters, 3 a year. At the end of the semester/quarter, there is an exam that gives a score from 5 to 1, with 5 meaning the greatest and 3 as passing the class. The exam is what makes up your credits.

But the rest, all hail breaks loose. Since the professors are krappy as hail, they can't teach but you will have to go by their rules. They decide on whether to have midterms, composition, etc......
