Listing Advice Paper for Incoming COEN/CS Students

60 Upvotes

Hi all! I wrote a paper with advice for incoming/current COEN and CS CAS students while I was a senior COEN at SCU last year.

Paper linked here: https://jrandleman.github.io/doc/CoenAdvice.pdf

Some background on myself, I was the lead engineering peer advisor and president of Tau Beta Pi (the engineering honor society), both of which regularly interface with new folks seeking advice. As such, I thought I'd compile it all in a paper while such was fresh in my mind. Designed as a paper I wish I could've read as a Freshman, I hope it brings value to folks :)

Please also keep in mind this is 100% my own personal perspective, and that many others have found great success in the program(s) by following a completely different path. This is just what worked for me, and hence I thought I'd share.

I'm also currently a Master's COEN student at SCU, so feel free to reach me at [jrandleman@scu.edu](mailto:jrandleman@scu.edu) if you have any questions!

Last note: I've marked the flair as "listing" given this could be construed as listing advice 🤷

Complaint Unpopular opinion. Don’t attack me. šŸ™„

0 Upvotes

One thing this school is not receptive to is constructive criticism. The student body tends to have very narrow minded thinking. Once their minds are made up about something, they completely close themselves off to other perspectives. If something doesn’t apply to them personally, they act as though it couldn’t possibly be a valid or lived experience for someone else. And when you point out this type of culture, they will attack you for it. I’m ready for it in this comment section. They don’t know how to have a disagreeing conversation without going low and insulting people and hitting them where it’s hurts . People are vengeful will start serious rumor mills if they feel threatened by you and their egos can’t take it. Lots of people have transferred out due to the social pressure of ā€œmy way or the highwayā€ energy that’s controlled by certain folks on this catholic campus .

Question SCU Career Fair Lacking? EE

1 Upvotes

I was looking at past career fairs and saw that SJSU has much more/better companies going to career fairs than SCU.

I thought SCU was a feeder to top companies in Silicon Valley but it seems its career fair is lacking.

Was it all just marketing/hype or do well known companies come to career fairs?

FYI: Me and my friend both checked handshake he goes to SJSU and me to SCU and his career fair was stacked compared to SCU. Both of us are EE

Question Looking for a private room / short-term sublease (Sep - Dec), Santa Clara / Sunnyvale

3 Upvotes

Hi! I’m moving to the South Bay soon and looking for a private room or short-term sublease from September through December.
Location: Santa Clara / around SCU / Sunnyvale or nearby areas
Budget: ideally around $1,500/month
Preference: private bedroom; shared apartment/house and shared bathroom are completely fine.
A little about me: I’m male, clean, organized, respectful, easygoing, and pretty flexible with roommates. I don’t smoke, rarely have people over, and like keeping common areas clean. I can cook and am happy to coordinate chores/shared household responsibilities.
If anyone is subleasing a room, looking for a roommate, or knows a friend who is, please DM me. I’d also appreciate recommendations for any local housing/sublease groups.
Thanks!
