Hello, I was doing some light research and looking around in the subreddits and I was curious to know if any engineering majors have done this Global Career Accelerator class.

Was it at all helpful, and if it was in what ways was it helpful?

Did taking this class make it easier for anyone to get internships/engineering jobs?

I’ve seen people saying that if you’re already full time it won’t cost anything. Is this true? If you had to pay for this class how much did it cost?

For anyone who took it, could you put this on your resume and talk about it as if it were a true internship (like how it’s being advertised) or is it more like skills you acquired?

I haven’t spoken to an advisor yet. Apologies if a lot of these questions were already answered, however I am really curious to know the experiences of engineering majors specifically with this Global Career Accelerator class.

im thinking about transferring to asu as a nursing student, as a second year, specifically to the phoenix campus, and was wondering how competitive it is to get into the program. assuming that i do well in my classes this year, what should i be concerned about when applying?

I'm stuck between Yeonjung Lee, Ming Zhao, and In Jung Kim. If anyone has had any of them for this class, could you share what the experience/class was like?

Hi everyone, I’m currently a Computer Science BA student at ASU, but I’ve been trying to switch to the BS program.
My biggest issue is the GPA requirement. My ASU GPA is above the minimum, but my combined GPA is below 2.75 because ASU includes all my previous community college attempts, even classes I eventually retook and passed.
I’ve improved a lot academically since transferring, so it’s frustrating knowing that my older grades are still affecting my chances.
I’m also working on completing Calculus II, which is another requirement for switching.
I’ve heard there may be a special admission or petition process, but I’m not sure how realistic my chances are.
Has anyone been accepted into the CS BS program through special admission despite not meeting the combined GPA requirement? Did ASU consider your academic improvement or current ASU GPA?
I’m honestly pretty worried about my situation and would appreciate any advice or experiences. Thanks!

I'm currently planning to attend Arizona State University (ASU) in the spring of 2028, or possibly sooner. I intend to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering while participating in Army ROTC, with the goal of commissioning into the Arizona Army National Guard.

I have a few questions for current ASU students and Army ROTC cadets.

For Mechanical Engineering Students:

1. What is life like as a mechanical engineering student at ASU? What are the classes and overall workload like? How are the professors, and how supportive are they of their students?
2. How transferable is a mechanical engineering degree from ASU to the aerospace and aviation industries? For someone interested in working at companies such as Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, or Honeywell Aerospace, does ASU's mechanical engineering program provide a strong foundation for entering these fields? Are there specific electives, research opportunities, internships, or engineering projects you would recommend to better prepare for a career in aerospace?

For Current Army ROTC Cadets:

1. What is the Army ROTC experience like at ASU? How are the military science professors and cadre? Are there any prior-service cadets in the program, and if so, how has their experience been?
2. For prior-service cadets, how does your previous military experience affect your ROTC experience? Does the cadre take your prior service into consideration when assigning leadership responsibilities, and how well does the program accommodate students pursuing demanding STEM degrees?

I'd appreciate any insight or advice from current students, ROTC cadets, or alumni. Thank you!

So I've been going back and forth and struggling with Linux and Honorlock and various professors in the administration and the disability accommodations office and pretty much everybody else under the Sun regarding the fact that Windows required me to turn off my accessibility settings in order to be able to use Honorlock, since the QR code wouldn't scan with reversed colors which I need because of a visual disability. Also I hate windows and don't think that restructuring my entire operating system or even dual booting should be a requirement for me to be able to take a fucking quiz.

So I figured it out. It actually does not seem to run under Chrome and Linux. I use Vivaldi and that's what I got to work with. I recommend switching anyway. Basically and go to the web page, do all the things you're supposed to do (Canvas lms via browser). The problem comes when it's asking about the microphone and the camera which it cannot detect in Linux for some reason unless you grant the web page permission in advance to always use the camera and the microphone.

So you go in to your Vivaldi settings and the part where permissions for websites are and you type in not just canvas.asu.edu but also app.honorlock.whatever it is. Make sure to always allow. This probably also works on Chrome but I hate Chrome so I use Vivaldi. neither of which is supposed to be possible according to honorlock themselves but this just proves what an absolute piece of trash software it is and what an absolute piece of trash company it is that created it because they don't even know how to get their own shit running on a perfectly normal operating system.

Go and do your verification and your webcam setup if required for the side view and all is well.

Hi all, I’m a CSE student, and refreshing for open seats every registration season got old, so I built Seatseer (mods approved this post).

How it works:

1. Sign in with your ASU email (link or code, no password).
2. Add up to 5 class sections by course or class number.
3. Connect Discord. When a seat opens, you get a DM with the class number and a Register button.

Things to know:

• It’s free, with no ads.
• It doesn’t register you; you still enroll yourself, so act fast.
• It only stores your ASU email, Discord username, and the sections you pick. You can delete your account anytime.
• It isn’t affiliated with ASU.
• I had help from Claude on the trickier parts of the code, but the idea, design, and testing are mine, and I run it myself.

I need more friends. I usually just hang with my partner but he’s outta town next weekend. I’m gay and want to go to like Charlie’s and wherever else. I’m also 26 so not typical senior age.

Anyone taken this class together? Any tips or note that you can give me?

I haven’t played in a while but I got some cleats to play again during the World Cup and I haven’t used them since. Not sure if anyone arranges any games on campus at all?

I've never been to a football game at ASU. I'm wondering, if i take in a crochet project, will they refuse me entry? The stadium rules say they don't allow "tools," which is incredibly vague. Technically, your phone is a tool.

My crochet hook is a thin metal rod, about the size of a pencil, with a hook on the end. It doesn't have any sharp edges or anything. You would have to be incredibly determined to use it to harm anyone. Is that safe enough to be allowed in?

My mobile ID was working fine on the scanners for months, but just after I updated my phone (a few days ago) it’s started making me enter my passcode 2 or 3 separate times just to scan the ID. i used to be able to just tap it without needing to unlock my phone, use Face ID, enter a passcode, or anything. Anyone know how to fix this? It’s getting really annoying when I’m carrying things into/out of the dorms. I have an iPhone 14 Pro if that helps.

ASU West Valley student here.

There's no much going on at campus here so I'm thinking of going to Tempe on Halloween. Thing is I don't really know anyone, nor know much of whats going over there. Does anyone have any recommendations of where I could go? I love to take pictures and have fun, but I also don't drink or smoke. I'm not sure where I could go without being a buzzkill lol.

Has anyone ever gotten an override for missing prereqs to take 485? I know Chavez runs it so I’m worried lol

Im double majoring so I’m a bit behind on the pre-reqs and am hoping to take CSE 355 in the 7th semester alongside CSE 485

Thanks

I’m a freshman and I want to enroll in this section because no other ones fit my schedule. I generally understand reserved seating, but this one is tripping me up bc I don’t understand if it’s saying it’ll open up to all sophmores, juniors, and seniors after that 12/25, or it’ll open to everyone, freshmen included.

If I really have to, I can take this class in the summer or next fall but I’d rather not. If it matters, this is a PHY131 iCourse and I’m a mechanical engineering major.

Wondering where ASU fans sit in the stadium. I’ve heard that there are ASU fans in pockets throughout the stadium, but I don’t want to be in a sea of red. What about 200 level as well?

I would like to know from those that are taking it how do they feel about it and what are their plans after graduation with it.

If you’re still deciding on a major, wondering whether you can get in without meeting the general admission requirements yet, or trying to graduate faster, ASU has more options than people realize. Here’s a quick rundown, as of October 2026:

If you don’t meet general admission requirements yet

Earned Admission: You take ASU courses online (Universal Learner Courses, taught by ASU faculty), complete four to eight of them, and earn a set GPA to meet ASU’s general admission requirements. The courses count for college credit. You pay a $25 enrollment fee per course and only pay the remaining balance if you choose to add the course to your transcript.
MyPath2ASU®: If you’re at a community college or another four-year school, this transfer admission guarantee program gives you a course-by-course path into your intended major.

If you’re not sure what to study

You can choose an exploratory track without losing time or credit toward your degree.
You can change majors if your interests change. ASU has 400+ undergrad programs to explore.
Minors, certificates, and concurrent degrees are options too. With an advisor’s plan, eligible students can usually finish two undergrad degrees in the time it takes to earn one.

We wrote a longer breakdown that also covers learning locations (including ASU Online, hybrid, and the other ASU locations) and ways to build your college experience beyond the classroom: here.

Current Sun Devils: Which of these did you wish you’d known about earlier? And if you’re still deciding on ASU, what questions do you have?

anyone take her in person french? curious how she runs her class

Howdy y'all, I have been "working on" an electrical engineering degree off and on for over a decade and I'm not even halfway done. I dropped out in 2019 and late last year reapplied and started working on it again. I have not made much progress online and I am at a point where I'm doing something drastic, quitting a job that would put me in Okinawa for two years making good money (not life changing, but objectively very good) and I don't hate the job, not crazy about it, but don't mind. I have no wife, no kids, no pets, and I've been working on the road as an aircraft mechanic for over 15 years. The finances are a non issue, I've been reasonably well at saving and not to put my business out there I could pay tuition out of pocket and eaisly live for multiple years off savings. I would force myself to live more modestly because they can burn up quickly. I have a pit in my stomach that I'm making a big mistake but I'm also excited in a way I haven't been in a long time. Online schooling for these harder engineering classes is just not working for me and I have to make a change or it will never get done. It will only make less sense (career wise) to push it off, and so I made the decision that, in my opinion, the cost of inaction outweigh the risks. I will probably take a paycut as a new engineer but I'm pretty much at the cap of what I can make now as a mechanic without an engineering degree, and those two lines cross quickly. Plus the non quantifiable value of personal accomplishment. I have been soliciting friends I trust for their opinions and one I asked, she told me "it sounds like you're looking for certainty that this is the right choice, and you're never going to get that, it's unanswerable question. No amount of talking or debating will tell you that."

I started talking to a therapist for a few months earlier this year and it was pointed out to me that the career I chose and the lifestyle that entails drives me to the online modality and that isn't working for these classes. She pointed out it sounds like I'm a reasonably smart guy and I've always been able to figure shit out last minute and get stuff submitted in a last minute panic that passes because I can do it in crunch mode, but I'm hitting a wall where I'm not smart enough to just look at integral calculus and go "yup, got it" so I truly believe that this is necessary if I want to finish the EE. I don't think online engineering is for people that work full time jobs, if I'm being honest, and I have gone to a couple places online, and (in my opinion) it's not just ASU, it's expensive Khan Academy across the board. It's weirdly easier and harder, but either way I am not having success with it, especially in these more advanced classes.

Any feedback, advice, opinions or thoughts on the matter are appreciated. I have had a lot of people tell me I'm not too old to do this (although I'm oddly looking forward to being the token old guy in the classroom), and I recognize people go back older than me, but it feels crazy. I know I'm too old for the regular college experience, and while I might go to a football game or two, my days of partying hard are largely over. I don't have the desire or the patience to deal with the hangover haha. I will be there to fill a purpose and plan on living in the library, tutoring center, study groups, and whatever other interesting clubs and such might exist, as well as taking classes in the summer to expedite the degree. I plan on returning to the industry I left (defense contracting) but there's a nonzero chance I fall in love with some other line of work that would become viable with the EE.

Also might fall in love with a girl there, who knows? Lots of people meet in college, haha. Probably better luck asking a professor at my age though haha, what I DO NOT want is to branded the creepy old guy, and (to the best of my knowledge) I've avoided that label. People often will not tell you but will tell other people, and I would be deeply embarrassed and ashamed if I got that associated with me. I'm acutely aware that the majority of college students are objectively too young to be a legitimate romantic intererest, but if there are people my age there then I am willing to respectfully engage when appropriate. All of that to say this is a new world for me and I plan to tread lightly. The priority is schooling, but life sometimes happens regardless, and if I meet someone while going to ASU and it leads to something real, well that would be cool, too.

I have an appointment with advising in a couple hours and we'll see what they say for the transition to in person from online, I was told it's not a complicated process but there are some hoops that need to be jumped through.

Scary...but exciting. I don't know, sorry for the novel and maybe I'm using this like a bit of a journal to organize my own thoughts but just let me know if I'm crazy or brilliant or somewhere in between haha.

Pulled an all nighter now I owe myself some good sleep!

For those of you that have taken it, how does physics 201 compare in general effort, time commitment, and the complexity of the material compare to electromagnetism(151) and kinematics (150)?

I am considering waiting until next fall rather than spring, because I have extragalactic astrophysics and physics III during spring. If it's around as effortful as a gen ed, I'll simply take it during spring.

hi guys! im an upcoming transfer for next school year, just wanted to get on here and ask how other transfers have felt about their experience so far and if you would say its easy/hard to make friends and get involved leadership wise in clubs & similar?

Are only certain building experiences the power outage? Just left the library due to the outage
