What do you do?

[Bisho]

sorry but i disagree, i graduated as electrical engineer with distinction from the best university american in the region and had a great social life at the time.. i really can't recall 1 single night that i studied beyond midnight :D


let the show off begin :runaway:

Also Sorry I disagree with you too.

I will clarify something:

1. How can you complete 5 big projects per 10 days without working beyond midnight?
Related to programming, one project = 10,000 line!!!

2. How can you solve all homeworks (at least 5 homeworks per week) without working beyond midnight?
1 homework = work of 1 or 2 day.

3. How can you complete all these labs reports without working beyond midnight?
Most courses associated with labs like (electronics, circuits, Microprocessor1,2, VLSI, ect.... long list)

4.

5.

.
.
etc..

The problem is not of study,, to be honest we didn't have time to study!! all time spent to finish all stuff mentioned above..

Of course anyone doesn't complete all these tasks, will not complete study OR graduate with very weak GPA and will face problems when searching job.


But this doesn't mean that we didn't have fun at university :D we had lot of fun ;)

if you graduate from AUB even if your average is 2.0 per say they will take you.

long live AUB grads and long live king haissam :bow:

[Bruno]

on another note i don't think haissam graduated from AUB he did it through LAU right?

[Bashar M.]

i think AUB

[Bisho]

I know AUB and LAU well. AUB staff came to our university (JUST) in Jordan and I attended their siminar for cooperation between the two universities :D

[Haissam]

Also Sorry I disagree with you too.

i never doubted that u didn't struggle to finish ur stuff on time back at uni..
i just disagreed with ur statement that to be an engineer you have to forget ur private life & u'll sleep 4 hours per day..

on another note i don't think haissam graduated from AUB he did it through LAU right?

i think AUB

AUB FTMFSOBAHW!

[mahmoud_bedewi]

i agree with haissam .....wat u say applies on mech engineering 100%
u donot have to be a geek to get good marks
just be smart study and have fun

business is also good but not as good, nor as great, as Engineering.......Specially electrical engineering

:slap:

You guys can debate which is better for ever and no one can ever win!

It all depends on what you like and what you want in life, you study your options, decide a career plan and work to achieve it!

I personally had a goal to have my own business before I reach 30 years and I did it, really doubt I could have done it in any other major, My business in the field I studied for ;) unless your dad can buy you a Construction company or an Oil field to play arround with :rofl:

But at the end it depends on each individual's goals, your goals are only yours :)

Now, stopthe off topic :D


PS: My dad wanted me to be a Doctor like him! FTL!

<---------- Civil Engineer !!

Well I'm still studying in American University of Sharjah (AUS), 4th year now .... couple of semesters left then I'll be out to the field ...

Do i like it ? Yes

Is it demanding ? YES !

Am I sleeping enough ? NO !

and the funny part is that tomorrow (A FRIDAY) I have to be in university at 9:00 AM to study for my Saturday's 8:00AM Calculus Exam ....

Ive studied Business Administration in here in Al Ain, but that was just a step on the ladder to land me with a good position for any job. I had worked with Emirates Airlines for a year to gain experience and after that year got a job with Dept of The President's Affairs in Al Ain, currently working in Purchase Dept and the job is interesting, but this isnt my goal. As Nabil said he had a goal to start his own business before he reaches 30, my goal has been exactly the same. With grace of God ive started my own business and in this field you dont need any degrees, you need experience and ideas to play your cards right.. I know where I am standing after 5-10 years.. ;)
