Thank you again for all your advice. I'm in my senior year for Computer Engineering and I still find a lot of this advice SUPER useful! I just wish I could have seen this earlier!
Thanks for the kind words, I'm glad it's helpful. Good luck with the rest of your year!
Thanks for the honesty!
amazing advice bro , really apreciate this youtube channel
i'm a current senior that also did early decision for elec & comp engineering at CMU. lately i've been wondering if it was the right decision but this really convinced me that it was. thanks!
Good luck! have some fun while you work
How's that going?
Thank you! Well done, no bs, good info and advice
this video was great, it's great to know someone like you who is at the top shares the same feelings of inadequacy as I do. I'm studying CS and everything you were saying just resonated with me. thanks for your insight on your college life.
thank you for the advice.
i just got accepted to cmu engineering with ece being my first choice so this video was very helpful for me in considering where I will be going next year
Thanks for this video!
that was great! I'm sure it was also fun. Don't forget to enjoy the process, people!
Woah thanks a lot for the insights ✌️
Amazing video man.
I am doing the same major! I am an upcoming major:) I resonate with what you said about the financials!!
3:10 thanks for the advice
What this guy says is truth being a Engineering student myself
Just out of curiosity, how did you do on the sat?
thanks
Hey Dave Xiang,
Thanks for this video. Knowing the information provided is handful.
Can you do a video on balancing STEM Majors with video games, social life, and etc?
You don't.
Really really good time management.
@@experimex not at top 10 CS school
@@catsaur Quit lying. You can't find an hour in your day to go eat at places on campus with friends, go to a nearby restaurant, or find something to kill time together?
If you can find time to meet with a professor or go to the gym for upwards of an hour, you can definitely find time for your friends. If you have terrible time management skills, that's not the school's fault - that's on you.
@@SkillUpMobileGaming I wrote this a while ago, but I'm pretty sure I said it out of satire mostly. Yes, I agree that if you manage your time carefully you can probably have a social life.
Great video! ECE is kicking my ass hahaha
more vids man!
Thanks for the video (all of them actually). I'm contemplating a bachelor's in software engineering. I know that math and physics are pre-requisites but how much programming knowledge/experience would one need to have beforehand in order to be successful in school?
You don't need any prior programming knowledge for school. If you have some analytical skills, you should be fine. Best of luck
What’s your opinion on computer science at Case western?
I am deciding on majoring in Computer Science or Computer Engineering, im leaning towards learning software and choosing cs, what do you think? btw I have a low math sat score(580) but an A in my high school calc. class
thanks for your help man. whats your email to ask more questions?

bro i did the exact same thing as you. ED'd to CMU for electrical and computer engineering! i'm a little bit worried about being one of the only women in the program, honestly, but it's too late to back out now. this is the most useful video i've found so far. do you have any advice for me as a woman?
Hey I am a women going into cmu ece next year!! Just wondering how you are doing with it and how bad the work load is
Hello from Long Beach CA, just a quick question about starting my journey in Programming. I am really interested in Java to begin , Do you recommend some books i can maybe start with? there is so many options, but seeing your videos have really inspired me. If you can maybe make a list or make a video of it. Thank you i look forward to your knowledge and advice.
Hey, if you are just beginning to learn, I would recommend finding a good guided class online to take. Pick a couple classes in Java and try them out. There should be free ones out there. Good luck!
Just got access to Lynda.com, and grabbed some books as well. I will also apply to some courses at my college nearby. Thank you.
Hey Dave, I'm planning on attending a technical college that has a 2 year diploma program with a good reputation in my province in Canada. From my research, most people who come out of the program find it very helpful in acquiring an entry level job. My only concern is that the diploma program is very concentrated on the practical side of programming and very light on the computer science and theory aspect. Do you think it is feasible to self-teach the theory aspect of computer science and if so, what resources do you think are the best currently available to aid in doing so?
what program languages do you know?
could you talk a little bit more about graduate school life in CMU?
+kailun x
I actually did an integrated program, so graduate life felt the same as undergraduate life. I just had to take 8 extra engineering courses over a year. The integrated program doesn't feel like real graduate school life, it felt more like undergrad. There was no PHD, no thesis paper, etc. An "Integrated" graduate program is just an extension on undergrad. I don't think I can speak well to a real graduate school experience.
What's the best way to do an assignment you have no idea how to do?
+alexander babich
Ah, that's a little tricky. Really no idea on? I think if that ever happens, you might have missed some concepts from earlier assignments. I'm not sure what kind of classes you might be taking Alex, but it's rare to really have no idea. Maybe check out some of the earlier ones and see if you missed some core concepts? The professor, if he's good at all, wouldn't give a crazy assignment beyond the scope of what people should know. That's a tough question, I don't know really.
Honestly! your video always inspire me.can i ask some question on facebook ? you are my friend on fb.
+Rakesh Ranjan
Yea sure man. Actually if it's longer, just email me davex.inc@gmail.com
Hey, am planning on pursuing a degree at Lehigh University. as an Electrical & Computer Engineer as well. but what you think about computer science & engineer? do you think that a better field as a software engineer?
Those major are different a bit, but you can definitely overlap. If you really know you want to do software, I would do Computer Science and take some computer engineering courses that interest you. Or vice versa, I'm sure that will also work well.
where r the open online courses and also closed online courses on UA-cam?
Do international students get scholarship?
Did you have time for hobbies, gaming etc?
+Excucating
Yea for sure. You just have to manage your time well. If you don't manage the time well, you just lose more of it and don't have time for hobbies and gaming. You shouldn't have to pull all-nighters, etc. There were some people though who dropped out because they gamed too much. That also happens a lot. haha
Should I take Statics as an elective?
+Eleazar Almazan
Statistics? Yea, that one is a good elective for engineering.
+Dave Xiang Statics and Statistics are different.
+Mustafa M
Oh thanks, my bad. I just looked up Statics. I don't think Statics would be particularly useful for computer engineering. Depends on your major. But anyways, if you think it's interesting, just take it as an elective.
+Dave Xiang Thank you for your opinion. I am majoring in Computer Engineering.
what's up Dave? I have a question I was hoping that you could help me out. I want to become a software developer but the university that I want to go to, have the software engineering program but do not have software developer so what you think about that?
MoneyCash David don't reply comments in his old videos so u have to ask him in his new videos.
Hey MoneyCash, you don't need a program specifically for "software engineering" to pursue that in your career. Pick what interests you, preferably what you like that's related to engineering / software! Computer science, Information system, computer engineering, etc. OR you find a program specifically with software engineering.
hey Dave I have a question... I want to do my masters in robotics ... is CMU a good college for that???
Shashwat Anand yea, CMU is amazing at robotics.
Hey Dave a question about the rigor level at cmu. My son wants to study Computer Engineering but he has a full ride at an easier abet accred institute/university. The problem is that this other uni doesn't have as great a name/reputation as CMU has. He is worried if he can handle the rigor so I'm not sure how you can help me with this question but I figured that perhaps scores might be a slight indicator for you to be able to help judge if he should even bother registering. satmath=760, satreading=630, gpa=3.87/4.
Hey. Thanks for your question. Has your son got an acceptance into CMU? I'm not sure of your situation, but here is my opinion. The full-ride is very nice, CMU is very expensive. That is a financial decision to make. CMU, most likely, is on a much higher level than the accredited university. CMU, MIT, etc. really do have world-class level programs for a reason. I do also strongly believe that the reputation and name of CMU carries enough weight for the rest of life that it will make it worth it to try to go there.
Finally, CMU's baseline is very hard. If you take harder classes, you can make it harder for yourself. You can also get by with the minimum, but it will still be hard. It's really hard to judge it from high school SATs score, but those are pretty strong. I got an 800 math and 690 reading. Those scores really don't mean much though. Whatever your son has been through now, going through engineering school is going to just be really different. If he's up for the challenge, I would say just go and let him realize how hard it is and he'll learn to overcome it ( hopefully ).
Best of luck to you
What was your GPA and SAT scores like?
+Juan Eric A-N
Man, I wonder why everyone is so curious about test scores! My test scores weren't very good. Also, this question itself can only result in some kind of comparison thinking which isn't alway healthy. Get the best GPA and SAT score you can get. My scores don't matter. =)
+Dave Xiang Yeah, I know. But, it might be helpful as a baseline for me. It seems like you got outstanding scores, because of you hesitation. Don't worry about it, just give me the venom! ;)
What about degree ???
I get the impression that the best way to go is to look for schools where your standardized test score and GPA are at the 3rd quartile of the last year's accepted freshmen. That way you don't get burned out feeling like a dumbass and become disengaged but there's enough room to expand and compete that (again) you never get disengaged.
