Speedrunning my Electrical Engineering Master's

Pretty good run. Time lost on buffoon clarification segment but nice pb on the discounted illegal textbook split. My heart sank when you almost threw the run on the thesis title but way to clutch up. WR might be in the cards if you keep praccing. I believe 🙏

It's crazy how wide "electrical engineering" is. My recently-retired dad was an electrical engineer who was a college professor and has ten patents, and he wouldn't have the slightest clue about what you're doing. Congrats on graduating, and best of luck on the future. I sure hope you'll still have time for your fantastic deep-dive videos. (I pushed the Schon series on my dad.)

Oh, so he's brilliant AND devastatingly handsome. Genetics you cray.

Bobby, my Dad got his BSEE in 1960, then went to work on the space race. He worked at General Dynamics then McDonald Douglas, he had a special interest in inertial guidence systems. He wrote the 12 volume test procedure for the Gemini program. When we got to the moon, he was awarded a master's on the basis of his work in the field. That was a different age. He worked as a professional registered engineer his whole life. Always fighting to ensure that EE's never work for other than another Professional Engineer. Myself I am just a polymath who loved his Dad... You have a real gift, you will go far...

I'm a plasma physicist and I've just discovered your channel via your series about Jan Hendrik Schön. Mate, let me tell you... Your videos are truly impressive. You deserve way more subscribers and I'm pretty sure your channel's growth will be exponential. Heading to your patreon page right now. Thanks a lot for your content (and for adding English subtitles, much appreciated). Cheers from France!

Cool breakdown! My masters thesis was also on silicon photonics, but it was more to do with the impact of ionizing radiation on photonics in space systems. I was a research assistant so I was fortunate to have my tuition covered and also have the opportunity to present my thesis research at some conferences. My thesis was that I developed a methodology for modeling the radiation's effects due to electron-hole pair generation within waveguides in simulations in the Lumerical software suite. Whats really satisfying is that now other researchers have published results citing and verifying that my methodology works for creating reliable results that can be compared to real life single events caused by ipnizing particles. Radiation effects in photonics is a very very young and exciting field!

It's amazing how you can manage a youtube channel while doing your masters, I know grad schools are intense specially the part where you start reading papers and have to search and decide your research direction. It's frustrating and you went through it successfully. My heartful congratulations for your current and future achievements. Love your channel and your content.

Wow! I would've thought you had a journalism focused degree based on how entertaining and informative your documentaries are

I'm a graphic design student so this is so far out of my realm, but you made this incredibly interesting to listen to; you have a wonderful charisma in front of the camera and it's fantastic to learn from you about your subject of study and the world you're in. I came here from the 3-part documentary you made, and I'll definitely be sticking around.

As someone 1 semester away from beginning my master’s, I really appreciate your open and honest perspectives!

I have gone through a big part of your video catalog at this point and I can't believe your videos aren't getting more attention. Your video essays are super good and I really hope you keep at it even while you have much greater and personal responsibilities because you're really, really skilled for your view-count. This video was also a very nice insight. Please keep at it. Also, your channel seems to be having a blow up at the moment.

This is wild, so great to hear your experiences! I'm starting my masters thesis (alongside coursework), but am only in my 1st year of grad school right now. It was particularly cool that you were able to get the fab turnaround in 2 weeks time, that's crazy (I'm not in EE, but your story was just that good, doing mine in essentially OR/optimization).

Hey dude if you wanna upload more about your research and what your time at school I'd be down with it. Always love to hear about other peoples journeys especially in fields I know nothing about. It's pretty inspiring, I myself have been in and out of post-seconday multiple times since graduating Highschool and have yet to decide what to do. Just accumulating debt and wasting time. Thinking of heading into Computer Science next, and you talking about your path is really inspiring! Keep it up my guy and love the documentaries!

this is legitimately one of the best channels ive stumbled upon i wanted to write something smart but i have no idea what to say, so, ur doing great!!

Hey, I'm an Engineering Physics grad too! My BS and MS were focused on space physics and space systems engineering though ✨ fun to see the wide differences in EP university/degree focuses

I’m about to enter the last year of my EE bachelor’s with intentions to complete a master’s program, but not sure what I’d want to concentrate in just yet so this was very insightful! Your deep dives into scientific fuckery have been my favorite way to pass what little time I have to myself this summer semester. Your time management skills must be impeccable for keeping up with these videos while completing your MS though bc as an undergrad I feel like I barely have enough time to watch them lol. At least they’re educational 😌

Going through my first year of University. Been procrastinating work and studying but your passion makes me excited to learn.

Okay so I've watched a couple of your long-form documentaries (the US particle collider and the Nobel Prize faker come to mind) and was amazed by the quality of these videos. Listening to your academic background makes perfect sense; smart guy makes smart videos. Anyhow,I find it difficult to enunciate how I WAS NOT PREPARED TO SE AN ATTRACTIVE GUY TALK TO ME ABOUT ENGINEERING; WOWZERS. Please keep doing what you're doing. The world needs more people passionate about science and engineering, especially those who share their knowledge with the world (and for free!) Best wishes from South America!

Thanks for posting this. It is interesting to hear the difference between your program and my MBA program. BTW, great quality videos - I only found you in the last few days and have really enjoyed your content.

I double majored in ee and physics for my undergrad and got a masters in ee and finally dropped out of a phd in rf. Now im working with superconducting materials, thanks in part to work in superconducting nanowire photon detectors i did during internships. Photonics are super cool.
