I've thought about linear algebra but I'm not sure if it would just be a waste. I want something to give me an edge over the others whenever i enter the higher echelon engineering classes, any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

jasonRF said:I'm actually surprised linear algebra isn't a requirement - it really should be! I am an electrical engineer and I find linear algebra to be more useful than calculus or ODEs. It is useful in virtually every field within EE. Definitely take linear algebra. I personally wouldn't want to hire anyone that didn't know it.
Since not all EE departments have the same requirements, it will be difficult for anyone to answer your more general question. Again, I would have assumed that linear algebra was required. I am also assuming probability theory, intro physics, intermediate electromagnetic theory, analog and digital circuits, signals and systems, and computer programming are all required. Yes?

Supplemental classes for an EE (Electrical Engineering) are additional courses or classes that students can take in addition to their regular curriculum to supplement their learning and gain a deeper understanding of certain topics or skills related to EE. These classes are not mandatory but can be helpful for students who want to explore more in-depth concepts or improve their skills in a specific area.
Supplemental classes can help you gain a more comprehensive understanding of EE concepts and techniques, which can be beneficial for your academic and professional growth. These classes can also help you stand out to potential employers and give you a competitive edge in the job market.
The prerequisites for supplemental classes may vary depending on the specific class and institution offering them. It is recommended to check with the course instructor or academic advisor to determine if you have the necessary background knowledge to enroll in the class.
You can find supplemental classes for EE by checking with your university or college's course catalog, talking to your academic advisor, or doing an online search. There are also online platforms that offer supplemental classes in various subjects, including EE.
Supplemental classes are typically not counted towards your GPA as they are not part of your regular curriculum. However, some institutions may have different policies, so it is best to check with your academic advisor for more information.
