This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Good for you. My experience is that the program was geared towards people that would continue to masters and PhDs.

I had an exam every two weeks, hundreds of pages every week to read and the professors weren't really available for us, and teaching assistant didn't really give a shit.

The labs were mostly just math labs, with really specific applications.

My only real project was the end of program project that lasted a bit short of 2 years. And the professors that were supposed to help us and support us told us that the project would fail for a good part of a year and a half. And when the project was a success and gave exposure to the school, the same professors that gave us shit for almost the entirety of the project took the credit for a successful project.

If you wanted to do hands on engineering, you had to join extra curricular teams.

My opinion on the matter is certainly tainted by my awful experience, but I did a program to become a technician in my field before going to engineering school and it was much more appropriate for my learning style.
