"The teacher was so bad BUUT the information was pretty cool" summarises my entire college experience until now.

I am at Cal Poly taking Digital Design literally right now, and we are still doing the same exact projects you did hahaha. My lecture videos are from 2012, around when you would've taken the class. It is honestly crazy to think that I am literally in your shoes from when you took the class, but in 2023. I have been watching your videos for years now and this is an amazing moment for me. You inspired me and helped me choose my major for college.

As an Electrical Engineer with a PhD in Statistical Signal Processing, I must say I had the biggest smile in my face when I saw your favorite class was DSP. Signal Processing is so cool... you design a filter mathematically using complex numbers and transforms and the designed effect really happens the physical world with the actual signal, it is almost like magic! The frequency domain is like this hidden world, like tapping into an alternate dimension to solve problems in our dimension. I also liked the same classes as you for nearly the same reasons. It is nice to see how people who lean toward one area end up having so much similarities. :)

I didn’t know I needed this video until I saw it. I’m a Physics major and in a month or two, I’ll be choosing another engineering major. I was always inclined toward Electrical Engineering and now this simplifies my choices further. Thanks a lot for this!

[averagewhiteguy]

As someone who isn't even in STEM, I still find this interesting. I like seeing what other majors need to do in their degrees.

Let's just confess how much we miss the EE Zach Star.I really hope to see more EE related videos.

[GarbageMan]

I just graduated with an EE degree, and damn this list just makes me realize there's a lot of classes I wasn't able to take at my school cause they either weren't offered or I didn't have the space. I know EE is broad but man there's so much to learn, I wish I would have been able to take more classes.

[omartusson]

Your university classes covered all aspects of electrical engineering really well.

[monkeybut]

Hot take: My computer organization and assembly language course has been by far my favourite! I'm doing computer engineering at McGill and I loved writing assembly programs. Also the best midterm of my entire education. 106% due to bonus points

[thetntsheep]

I'm quite hyped to learn about digital signals. One of the projects next year is to encode a digital signal into audio and transmit it. One group didn't use all their frequencies so decided to play a rickroll in the rest

Cal Poly Pomona alumni here, nearly 40 year engineer. I remember about 6 classes from my program. Specifics fade but the engineering mindset stays and keeps you in the career. Good luck sir.

[thereisnospoon]

Its crazy that I found your videos around about the time I was feeling a little nostalgic for Uni and thought your skits were really relatable, only to now watch this video and realize we were in the same Uni, Major, and year! Guess that explains the why I related to them :P EE really thins out by 4th year, I wonder if we had a class together... Anyway, congratz on all the success man!

Ranking my classes…0/10 would not do again

[Keith]

Thanks Zach for bring back all the classes in Electrical Engineering that I took to get my BSEE in 1974. The math hasn't changed nor the ckt design, power, chip design and high level problem solving. What has changed is access to all the real tools you had in the lab to actual make the math real.

[xXMaDGaMeR]

wow much respect from a CS major, those classes seem like hell!

[Matthew_Klepadlo]

“Bro, stop being racist.”

“Let’s rank all my college engineering courses!”

Two twisted sides of the same coin of Zach Star…

[manfrompabb]

i'm a current computer engineering student at cal poly and it was so disappointing to see ee 233 as your least favorite class, it's literally my favorite class that i've taken so far :(

[Djdjennerd]

This is actually really interesting! i'm now doing my finals in the bachelor of engineering majoring mechanical and minoring electrical, and it's very interesting to see the overlaps and differences between places.

[ego]

Bro I'm an electrical engineer too and I agree with the ranking system you put. I really liked discrete time signals but I now see I should have put more effort in it. Also, for all the emotions you felt and shared with us hear this: "you are not alone ma guy"

[treeross]

"Getting 50% on the midterm and expecting it to be lower"
Yeah same man
