Course 2 are more practical for EE job hunting. Both are difficult and time-consuming from my experience. If you are better in math, take 2; If you felt better in physics, take 1. Anyway, if you felt too overloading, you can drop it midterm. Analog circuit is way much tougher than digital circuit.

I dont think you can handle the second one. My friends are in EE(MS), and usually they spend all their time on this course in that semester. You can easily get the first done, i am sure. Nothing about 量子力学. Just some basic electronic stuff, like how the squal law is determined from low level model.And with your CS background on hardware(VLSI Design?), that is very useful as well, especially for parasitic extraction.

BTW, which school are you in? If UCLA or Standford or MIT or TAMU or GAtech or UCSD, forget about 2. Even you dont have any other couses on hand, you still need to spend more than 40 hours/week on that courses. 1 is better than fabrication methology or sth about that. You just need to know some basic physical electronic stuff. Like capacitor, how electron/hole works. And, especially, the lecture is nice. That will be an easy A for you with less that 10 hours/week spending on that.
Pay more atterntion on the lecture will save you lots of time to read the textbook. If you have anything dont understand, you need to ask the prof after the class. For physical stuff, you have to follow the idea path. Cause i know the exam are not like put something on the txtbook in, usually, you need to do some derivations.

我必须在下面两们课里做选择:
1。fundamentals of solid state electronics
缺点:没有背景也没啥基础,大学物理早忘光了。我是学CS的本科,这些东西都不懂。lg不建议我学,觉得我把一门工艺课(他觉得就是简单的物理和化学,比找个容易多了)都学的很糟,这种课肯定handle不过来。他觉得量子力学还是很难学的。
优点:work load相对较轻,美国老师,人nice,虽然有C但是不多。一个lab的人都选这门,可以讨论作业。
2。analog/mixed signal circuit design
缺点:老师印度人,注明杀手,给了很多人core course 都是C,(我们系PHD的core course如果有一门C就完蛋了)。load很重,我还有research和其他3门课,所以系里的老生都不建议我take他的课,特别是这门课今年他第一次上,很难把握尺度。
有点:和我现在做的东西有关系,对研究可能有帮助。我现在是做数字电路的,这门课project用的tool都知道一点。而且模拟电路对找工作可能有帮助(也只是可能)。
大家说我该选那门课?谢谢各位了。
印度教授好像多半都很tough,我也见过一个。

如果水平高通常能满足不同层次学生的需要,会很有意思。
通常德高望重的Prof不会为难学生。
那个美国老师人品很好,对学生非常耐心,学术我不清楚,因为不是一个领域的,但是我知道他负责device modeling那个lab的工作,应该不会很差吧。上tenure了,不然早被赶走了。
Anyway, if you felt too overloading, you can drop it midterm. Analog circuit is way much tougher than digital circuit.
如果你以前是学cs的,那这两门课对你都有点难。不过第二门更实用些吧。第二门课如果是transistor level的话,很花时间的,如果你已经take了3门课,那还是不要乐。
是啊,我痛苦啊,可是没有办法,其他3们课一门自己老板的core course,一门分布式操作系统,一门VLSI 测试和综合,门门都有project,还有3次考试,可是我必须找个学期把课都修完,痛苦死了。
那个模拟混合信号是1,主要即使电路设计,下学期才讲系统集成,用的都是cadence的工具,要做layout,太花时间了。
take 1, sit in 2... learning 2 while no pressure of credit.
5门课啊,即使就是site in也太花时间了,我倒是可以把slide都copy下来,做论文的时候看看。

我数学不咋样,物理没有基础。可是现在的老板做底层电路的,不让我多选network的课所以很痛苦。
以后有空了再take 2, 提高提高research... .....
先take1, 把学分混够了,
以后有空了再take 2, 提高提高research... .....
嗯,我也这么想,而且那个模点的老师很bt,第一堂课就说我是不给A的,而且会有人fail我也不拉的。而且他去年教概率的时候给了很多学生C。
我就是怕1我handle不过来,去年学芯片工艺,很多作业我都让lg帮我看,考试前紧张的睡不着,还只有B+,这门我gg说更难,把我吓着了。
我觉得背景还是很重要的,很多有基础的课感觉也不用干啥就能拿好分数,有的课累的半死成绩也不咋样。

对,我就是做VLSI design的东西。
谢谢mm了,我都注册这门课了,我gg吓唬我弄的我就犹豫了,我们用的器件模型都是spice自己的,怎么说呢,两们课都能学到很多东西,但是我还要考虑其他的课,还要GPA,所以如果第一个能handle,我就奔第一去了。

2啊,找工作有用。。。不过说起来,我都一直没去修,不想修课
我找工作也不会做模拟的,也做不料模拟,那个印度老师40不到都秃顶了。如果你想上可以旁听啊,我们lab有人就旁听这门课,他说听听还行,修课就算了。。。

Pay more atterntion on the lecture will save you lots of time to read the textbook.

Good pick. Those design jobs are for those self-abusing guys, not for PLMM.

是啊,我觉得我们系但凡做模拟电路,电磁场的老师性格都有电问题啊,看着怪怪的。
读这个专业就没希望做plmm了,就是不想老的太快,有个工作干干就行啦。
第二门课, 嘻嘻, 如果是transistor level的, 非常非常重, 模拟的东西本来就难学, 好多东西要靠经验,然后project非常非常花时间, 这一门课相当于别的一门半到两门课。
如果你本身不是纯EE背景, 已经take 3门课, 再加上第二门课, 我觉得你会很累, 而且最后成绩不会太好。
BTW, which school are you in?

嘻嘻,偶八是mm说的牛校,不过我们系的课特别是graduate level的都很重,通常PHD门都一门一学期加点research就差不多了,我因为有原因,这个学期只有拼命了。
fab课我花了60%的时间在上面,其他两们加起来才40%,lab和report太花时间,而且老师suppose学生懂器件原理,我那个痛苦的。
但是这个第二门课, 嘿嘿, project花的时间是没底的, 有时候怎么调都满足不了那个specification, 你通宵熬夜也没用。

fab的课, 据我的经验, 因为lab 很多, 花的时间是不少, 但是学起来不难。而且要求懂的device physics的东西很浅。总而言之, fab 的课不是太难, 如果有点儿基础的话。
但是这个第二门课, 嘿嘿, project花的时间是没底的, 有时候怎么调都满足不了那个specification, 你通宵熬夜也没用。
关键是report要呢分析数据,结合器件知识,可是我没有学过solide state的东西,也没有semiconductor device的基础,4个report,前面三个还好呼弄,最后一个写的太痛苦了。感觉那个学期就是围着它转,lab每周一个下午6个小事是正常,4个report,10次作业,3次考试。所以我觉得印度老师都有点。。。
[此贴子已经被作者于2005-9-9 17:35:51编辑过]
我当时学lab课作业考试report跟你们差不多, 最后还有一个term project, 我还是觉得比anolog的课轻松, 后者的project 太折磨人了。
幸亏上来问问,这样我就肯定奔1
还是选第一(2,xixi)门课吧,找工作的话其实选什么课没关系的,对于CS,EE来说,关键是经验.
我们lab一印度人GPA3。1去了intel circuit design center。可是他们八要中国人
我就准备找个小公司混混了

INTEL招中国人的吧?我见MITBBS上好像颇有一些人去了INTEL.
其实除了一些特别的大公司,比如IBM招人看学校之外(要名校),其他大公司都是看能力更多些的。

你是老皇历了, 最近一年, intel几乎不招大陆来美国的中国人。
IBM招人反而宽松很多, 我们系有个老板group的学生, 出来全部进IBM, 不管哪国人。

SORRY啊,因为前几个月老看到MITBBS上有人说拿到INTEL的OFFER了,我身边倒没有。相反,IBM比较挑学校一点。微软,GOOGLE什么的也不挑学校。

很少的,我们这个方向的印度人哪怕自费的master都能进intel,中国人博士都是去了高通和cadence,synophsys,也不错。想我这种没出息的master都不知道哪里有工作了。
另外IBM现在不行了,我lg系里(材料)原来很多人去IBM,现在他们把好多research center都关了。我老是怂恿我gg修我们系的fab课,好去intel,他就是不愿意。气死我了,他要是去了鸟不拉是的小地方教书,我课则么找工作。

你gg就是修了fab课也去不了intel, 就象我说的, intel现在几乎不招大陆来的没有绿卡的中国人。因为我们系有几个老板以前group出来的人去intel的非常多, 从去年暑假开始, 中国学生一个都没去成intel, 都改去TI, synoposis, cadence, IBM, AMD这些公司了。
现在学材料的找semiconductor industry的工作也不容易了, 因为最大的fab是intel的, 可是intel基本对大陆学生关门。而别的公司很多fab都挪到国外去了.
主要是因为他们隔壁系(化工)有去intel的学生,还不少。intel的fab其实很多去的PHD都在做封装的事情,所以我lg觉得没什么意思。他的大老板是从IBM出来的,但是都不建议学生去IBM,现在加州的几个center都在关掉。我觉得主要还是看一个系的教育导向,比如我们学校CS的人毕业了很少去公司,都到学校当老师,但是我们系就去公司的多。我lg的系好像也是这个倾向,觉得去公司都不怎么样,都想当老师。系里的老师也是,做物理化学的看不起做工程的,但是系里的很多funding都是工程的老师弄来的。
自己design,自己加工.可是我觉得这个工作实在痛苦,每天在clean room里,
听着噪音站着干活,真是挺辛苦的.
可是学了这行,不去作还有什么可选的,不知道master毕业之后工作机会怎么样?
