What is Engineering? What is Computer
Science?
Applied Mathematics
Speak the language of Mathematics . . .
Your Engineering and Computer Science problems will not be difficult.
What is Engineering & Computer Science?
Learning Requires . . . . Repetition, discussion, practice
Create a study group Make sure everyone in the group can do
everything Never put your name on something that you did
not do Attend instructor office hours / Go to Help
Desks Introduce yourself and talk about the course If you don't have a question, just come and listen
Do homework that is assigned Make sure you can do anything
(not just the questions that were on the assignment.)
Studying & Time Management
Plan your week Schedule time for every course Don't delay things that are difficult Plan for the unexpected After everything is done:
Schedule in a little (not a lot of) fun time
Choices in Your Program?
You are registered in 5 or 6 classes You are planning on doing well You can't seem to get everything done You don't want to fail or get bad marks
But you are afraid you might?
Other course schedules are possible See your program advisor:
