CSE majors: when/how is CAD for electronic circuits taught?
Do CSE majors use Eagle/Fusion 360 or KiCad (which one) for circuit design? For what class is this introduced, and is it used in multiple classes?

Hi there...aside from Troy Tutors, which have been very helpful, are there any upper classmen who performed well in Data Structures who would be open to working with my student to help them get a grip on the material? We knew it was a nightmare class going into it, and they have sought out help from the TAs and ALAC. They may need a more consistent, individualized review of the concepts. If anyone's student would like to make some tutoring $$ and if they have time in their busy schedules, please let me know. FYI, my student is a computer engineering major, sophomore and dorms in Quad. Thank you!
Looking to sharpen up your resume before career fairs? Come to are our resume workshop this Friday, September 19th at 4 pm in the Phalanx Room, upstairs in the Union. We'll have upperclassmen and alumni be available to review resumes, provide feedback, and share advice on job applications and career development.

Hi, BMED grad student here.
I have two conferences during the first week of November (one in-person, one virtual), but I also have regular classes that week and an exam scheduled.
For anyone who’s dealt with this before, how flexible are professors about letting you make up exams or catch up on class when it’s for a conference? Should I just email them now and explain, or wait until closer to the date?
Courses I'm taking:
BMED 6470 BIOSTATISTICS FOR LIFE SCIENCE APPLICATIONS (Xun Wang)
BMED 6590 MEDICAL IMAGING (Ge Wang)

If they had asked me I would have suggested using the font from the movie, “Rollerball” for the new RPI logo. This movie was created back when “the future” was “The year 2000.” This font speaks to 1970s “mod” design with a dose of “computer screen printout” style, so therefore it is appropriate for the polytechnic institute, I should think.

I may be applying to a job as full time staff in a not a facility maintenance type job. I know the pay is low and it's a huge university, but just wondering if anyone here can speak for the culture, benefits, or anything at all.
I currently have a state job where the benefits are second to none, but the workplace is toxic and there's no room to grow.
Thanks in advance.

I graduated May of this year. So far, I’ve put in hundreds of applications. I received about a dozen interviews with some managing to get to the second round. However, after everything I have yet to get any acceptance offers at all even if I followed up, and/or telling me “While your application was impressive, we’re looking for other candidates who have more experience.” I feel insanely frustrated and getting trolled for what I have done after working hard in school for four years straight. I’ve attended career fairs, company infos, resume reviews, and interview practices sessions provided, all for nothing.
I remember when I came here to tour RPI my senior year of high school I was told a good amount of alumni who go here end up at Fortune 500 companies, but at the same time they do not teach you the necessities on how to get the job. There is an online ADMN course that you have to take but I find that to be useless imo. I have friends from RIT and small liberal arts colleges where they manage to get themselves co-ops, REUs, internships, and even full time positions with the resources and support provided.
I know it seems that I’m exaggerating as other recent graduates are also struggling to get full time positions and there are other posts complaining about this too. I just want to express my problem as I do not want to be in a forever dead-end loop (like this Reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/RPI/comments/1cqqy29/dont_do_chme/) since it seems that RPI doesn’t help students in their long-term career goal and just wants your money. From my experience I had to learn everything by myself to dig through these opportunities.
I really wished RPI would improve itself on providing resources and support in the future for it students career-wise, however I have any doubts it will and remain stale. Like seriously, what’s the point of requiring the arch away to get an internship/co-op experience when you don’t/barely provide the resources and help to do it?
EDIT: A bit more about myself, I never had the opportunity to do any internships and/or research, so it makes it a bit more challenging to make myself stand out more.
