And you're right, it definitely does take talent to be at the top, but when they give hours and hours of busy-work that teaches you nothing and just wastes your time but is worth 10-20% of your mark, talent alone won't get you there (unless you blast assignments off of other talented people )


Well, there isn't too much busy work with our CS and math courses, so you can pretty get good grades and still don't work too much. Most assignmnets that we get can be done in 3-4 hours if you know what you are doing(that doesn't include courses like Operating Systems, where you actually have to implement OS and it takes many many hours, but still, smart coder can probably do it 3-10 times faster than your average coder)

I guess my point is - to be the top student, you have to be very very bright and it takes some work, but not too much work.

lol, let's try not to do that here too! after reading the last few posts, I feel pretty stupid, especially since I only got a couple of job interviews (but no summer job yet) and how I slacked off seriously for most of last year

Please read it.


Here is the response of the electrical and computer engineering department to the above survey. It starts like this, "The department of electrical and computer engineering is working on changes to deal with student dissatisfaction with the program..." Judging from their reply there will be changes for the better. Check out the link for further details.

whoa whoa, you should rephrase that thought, lol..

by all means, U of T Engineering "Skule" is hardly relaxing... like I mentioned before, it is world renowned, especially the EngSci program, and people from all over Canada, and many from other parts of the world, move to Toronto to take Engineering at U of T. A lot of Computer and Electrical engineering texts that are used in undergraduate studies all over North America have been written by U of T professors (i.e. a famous one is Microelectronic Circuits by Sedra and Smith -- the "bible" for electrical engineers). Because of this reputation, they make the atmosphere for undergraduate studies at U of T such that students don't chill and relax! (Sucks for me tho, and for all the U of T engineers!)

So many engineers in TOTA. Yet it dosn't strike me as a geek fest. Who knew that engineers can party so hard! Thus, engineers are the best people to party with! Can somebody make a poll on what are TOTA's majors?

Ah wait, then it means that Waterloo is the hardest partying university in Ontario! There ya go! Problem solved. Go to Waterloo!

Just curious, what's Swamper's major?

p.s. I belive its TranceGeek with this creepy avatar of a gEEk! I'm beggining to think that he actually looks like that.


psst.. I actually know ..*suspicously looks around* a female at Waterloo who's rather attractive!
..............Yup! A Real Female!

As far as attractive females at UW.. I happen to know more than a few

Attn to all hardcore software eng. geeks.

on may 12-16th, 2003, our university is recieving the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7 committee, delegates from over 35 countries come to decide the next standards in soft. development. Its a unique chance because you'll be able to have insight about the new standards a couple of years before they get released on the market. Also these guys will be in Australia next year and then Finland the year after. I can ask my teacher for "observer" passes because everything is private. (my teacher is the secretary of the organization).

here's another good event that my brother once attended.. man how nerd !

http://www.itctestweek.org/

International Test Conference 2003

International Test Conference (ITC) 2003 will be held in Charlotte, NC from September 30 - October 2, 2003.

ITC is the world's premier conference dedicated to the electronic test of devices, boards and systems, covering the complete cycle from design verification, test, diagnosis, failure analysis and back to process and design improvement. At ITC, test and design professionals can confront the challenges the industry faces, and learn how these challenges are being addressed by the combined efforts of academia, design tool and equipment suppliers, designers, and test engineers.

ITC, the cornerstone of the Test Week event, offers a wide variety of technical activities targeted at test and design theoreticians and practitioners, including: formal paper sessions, tutorials, panel sessions, case studies, lecture series, commercial exhibits and presentations, and a host of ancillary professional meetings. This includes the ITC University Booth, which provides an opportunity for the university community to demonstrate their work in device, board, and system testing research.
