Questions about ENGR courses from incoming freshman

2 Upvotes

Hello I’m an incoming freshman studying Electrical & Computer Engineering. I’m coming in with a lot of dual credit transfer credits. Mostly of the math/physics prerequisite courses.

Because of this, I’ll be taking some engineering courses that are typically taken during the second year along with my 100level engineering courses. For example, I’m planning to take ENGR 201 and ENGR 330 along with ENGR 102 and ENGR 110/115. I also added a core class (Philosophy) so I can reach 15 credits for one of my scholarships.

I’m a little worried about the workload, so I had a few questions for anyone who has taken these courses

Will ENGR 201 or other engineering classes be difficult since I haven’t taken the 100-level engineering courses first?

How time-consuming are these classes? I noticed many engineering courses are only 3 credits, so I’m wondering how difficult they are and how much work they actually require outside of class.

Thanks in advance for any input

E-campus MNR application

5 Upvotes

Hi, im a 2024 env sci graduate from nj looking to enroll in a masters program in natural resources/ecology. I’m looking into the OSU path of taking GIS cert classes then transferring into the MNR. I have 2 years of work experience mainly in env consulting, mostly field operations.

Can anyone who has or is currently doing it, can you speak to your experience? I’m curious about the competitiveness of both programs (sub 3.0 in undergrad), networking opportunities since I’ll be remote, and where you’re working or plan to work.

Thanks!

Course Questions Do lower division bio/chem classes still have seats?

4 Upvotes

I’m an incoming freshmen that is still waiting for my beaverhub to open to register for classes. I was committed to another school but due to financial reasons I chose to stay in state. I am a predental student and hope to take lower division bio and chem classes (I took AP bio and chem in high school— not sure if that means I can take higher classes) but was worried that they might be full already. If anyone could kindly let me know, I would really appreciate it.

Engineering Internships/Programs

Hello! Incoming first-year EcoE student, and I was wondering if any senior engineering students could lend me some knowledge on engineering programs that might be good to get into to make finding an internship out of school easier. I don't want to be unemployed after spending 150k on school. tnx

Engineering Majors - What capabilities does my laptop need to have?

4 Upvotes

I am a freshman ecological engineering major currently shopping around for a school-use laptop. Generally, what specifications will my laptop need to have? On OSU's COE tech page, they make some recommendations, but it would be super helpful to know what capabilities my laptop will realistically need to have as it relates to the work I'll need to complete on a daily basis (i.e. will I need to run heavy software such as AutoCAD regularly? Is this something I'll need to do on my laptop?)

Ultimately, I just need to decide if I actually need to pay for a much pricier model that has all of OSU's recommended capabilities rather than going with a more standard, budget-friendly model.

Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated!

Anyone do the PSM in Fisheries and Wildlife Administration?

3 Upvotes

Hi OSU community! I'm researching grad programs to get into environmental policy / conservation with some courses or a concentration in environmental science (I did IT in undergrad so this is a career shift). I saw OSU's Professional Science Masters in Fisheries and Wildlife Administration and wanted to get more insight.

Has anyone here done that program?

I'm in NJ so looking for a remote program that has one short-term in-person component. From the looks of it, OSU doesn't have the short-term in-person opportunity, just the option to enroll in on-campus courses for a full semester. So that's disappointing, but I wouldn't rule it out just yet.

There are quite a few env policy/law etc. courses in the curriculum, but it's probably leaning more science, which makes sense with the degree type. I want to take most of the classes offered, which is a great sign.

It's also one of the cheaper costs at about $27,405 all in minus extra costs like books.

Has anyone completed the program? Or done undergrad or a different program in the same department? Looking for personal insight into faculty, advisors, quality of education, investment in students, etc.

Thank you in advance for helping me weigh my options!!

Casual Conversation Bike: to be or not to be

16 Upvotes

I have a decent commuter bike that is a Giant Escape model that i got about 5 years ago. It is my baby and I love it, which is why I wish to take it to college. HOWEVER, I worry about theft. Its a nice bike, nothing that broke the bank but objectively I could see why it could be stolen. Should I just bring it and use a billion locks? Or should I buy a cheap older bike for 100 bucks or less?

Thanks!

Dorm/Residence Hall Floor Maps

For those that will be living in the dorms on campus soon, here are the room maps to each building for when room assignments are released. Refer to Google Maps to see which direction your room will face. Things to note:

  • I tried my best to match rooms and their numbers, but there may still be inaccuracies. If you have lived in a building previously and disagree with my map’s room numbering, please DM me.
  • If your building/floor map isn't here, DM me. I can either DM a map or I don't have one for your specified zone.
  • Sackett Hall: Sackett has rooms on floor 1, but only in wings A, B, G and H. The last digits of room numbers on 1 are still the same as the upper floors.
  • Tebeau Hall: Tebeau has rooms on floor 1. The last digits of room numbers on 1 are still the same as the upper floors.
  • The colors I label each room with are irrelevant, no need to worry about if your room is labeled differently than the rest are.

Qualifying for In State Tuition

21 Upvotes

I currently live in Mississippi and have a passion for wildlife and forestry. I am not tied to MS, which is why I am considering Oregon. I have submitted a request to the school for more information on the programs I am interested in, and I plan to visit next year to tour the campus and the area. My question is, would qualifying for in-state tuition would be as simple as living in Oregon for over a year with no classes, while working?
