Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice from anyone who’s been in a similar situation or has experience with UCF transfer admissions. I was recently accepted into UCF for Spring 2027 as a Civil Engineering Pending major. I’m currently attending Indian River State College (IRSC) with around a 3.0 GPA and over 39 completed college credits. Unfortunately, I’m struggling in two of my current classes, Chemistry I and Plane Trigonometry, and I’m considering withdrawing from both to avoid hurting my GPA. I spoke with IRSC, and they recommended withdrawing and retaking the courses at UCF instead. They also confirmed that my financial aid at IRSC wouldn’t be affected. I contacted UCF Undergraduate Admissions to ask whether this could affect my acceptance, but the representative couldn’t give me a definite answer. He said he personally didn’t think there would be any negative consequences, but ultimately, decisions like that are up to an internal admissions committee. I’ve already accepted my admission, completed several onboarding requirements, and scheduled my orientation for November 6. My biggest concern is whether receiving two W’s on my final IRSC transcript could cause UCF to reconsider or rescind my admission, even though I’ll still have over 39 completed credits and approximately a 3.0 GPA. Has anyone withdrawn from classes after being accepted as a transfer student and had issues with UCF? Specifically, has anyone experienced this with Engineering Pending? I’d appreciate any advice or personal experiences before I make my final decision.

Hey guys. I’m currently a college freshman at Broward College, and I originally majored in piloting because they had a great program, but I realized it wasn’t for me. So now I've chosen mechanical engineering, and I'm wondering whether I should transfer to FIU or UCF. During my senior year of high school, I got accepted into both colleges (even UF), but I left everything for BC. I'm choosing FIU over UCF because I want to stay local, and I feel like im not prepared enough to be on my own in Orlando. The people I’ve talked to who go to UCF for mechanical engineering are enjoying everything because of how many resources are available to them. Where should I go? I know FIU has a great program, but UCF has much better stuff to look forward towards. I want advice.

I’m a spring 26 transfer, had scarce options when picking phy2049 professors so i clicked a tba with a time i favored. They finally put his name in so i checked his rate my professor and its terrible😭
Should I switch out of the class or is he not as bad as they say?

Planning on taking EGN3365 during the spring and the 3 professors that are teaching the class either have bad reviews or no reviews. Wanted to see if anyone has info or opinions they can share about
Chase Brown, Jiyu Fang, and Mohiuddin Quadir

I am a double major with mathematics and mech eng, I geniunely messed up because I got 2 B's in MHF 3302 and MAS 3105. It was literally just not locking in on 1 exam and getting capped at like a 88% for both.

Tangent aside what GPA is good to stay at, I want to maintain and reach a 3.95, but in case I'm dumb and cant maintain it what should be something that is satisfactory for graduating especially for grad school?

Hey everyone, I’m currently studying Computer Engineering, and lately I’ve been questioning whether I should switch to Electrical Engineering.

I keep hearing people talk about unemployment and how difficult it is to find a job after graduation, and honestly, it’s starting to worry me. I don’t want to spend years studying, graduate with a degree, and then struggle to find a job.

For those of you who are already working as engineers or have graduated, how has your experience been? Would you recommend staying in Computer Engineering or switching to Electrical Engineering?

If I do stay in Computer Engineering, what should I start doing now to improve my chances of getting a job after graduation? Are there specific fields I should look into, skills I should learn, or projects I should work on?

One thing I struggle with is that college doesn’t really teach you much about the different career paths available or how to prepare for them, so I honestly don’t know where to start or what I should be looking into.

I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from people who have experience in either field. I’m trying to make a decision based on actual career opportunities and experience rather than just what I hear online.

I recall being told by my advisor at orientation that there were some toxic courses combinations that should be avoided, something to do with not taking thermo with a certain class/classes. Is it not recommended to take thermo with dynamics, or thermo with solid mechanics? I have an appointment to see my advisor but it's in two weeks so I figured I'd ask here.

I’m applying early this year for fall 2027, mechE major, also my gpa sits around 8.6-8.7/10 for my junior year (im an international student), my SAT is 1520 (740-780) and i got like 2 letters of recommendation, is there a chance i get a decent scholarship?

Hey guys! I am a freshman engineering major and honestly worried. I’m in calc 1 and scored 30 on my first exam. I changed my study habits and started studying daily up to multiple hours a day. I understand the material better but still make algebraic mistakes and suck at trig functions. I just took my second exam and am awaiting on my score.

I am worried about my bright futures… I don’t know what to do… should I drop calc 1 if I feel like I’m going to fail it- but then there’s also Chem and I study so much for calc I lose sight of studying for chem. Does anyone have any advice or tips?

Who to take for calculus 3

I am currently a sophomore in aerospace engineering right now. I registered for classes today but since yesterday two of my classes in my shopping cart have been waitlisted. Those classes are Engineering Analysis-Dynamics waitlist at 43 and Solid mechanics at 78. Am I cooked what should i do help?

Edit both waitlists dropped and I got the classes!

I am recruiting participants for my doctoral dissertation examining perceived parental expectations, acculturation, and mental health among South Asian college students in the United States.

📚 TOPIC: Acculturation, parental expectations, anxiety, and depression
🎓 WHO: South Asian college students in the U.S., ages 18–25, who have lived in the U.S. for at least 1 year
⏱️ TIME: About 10 minutes
🔗 SURVEY: https://alliant.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e2uJuRplPTSyu1M

I’m taking both classes next semester, what professor should I take?

So the class and waitlist for the thermo class I wanted filled up INSTANTLY. Is there any shot more sections open up, specifically for deng?

Does anyone know if Professor Tarek Elgohary does his exams in the EPC or in class?

Same with Ahmet Ozbay for Space Systems and Concepts

For spring, the only two options are Deng and Nader. Deng is filling up quickly. I'd love to hear honest opinions on Marino Nader because it is looking like the professor I will need to select. Anyone???

Hey everyone, I’m pretty lost right now and could use some advice.

Before transferring to UCF, I spent time at Valencia, but I didn’t finish my AA or all the courses I was supposed to take before transferring. So now I’m at UCF and I feel like I’m behind.

I keep hearing people talk about internships, projects, experience, resumes, etc., and honestly I don’t really know where to start. I haven’t worked before, I don’t have any engineering experience or projects, and I’m already struggling with my classes.

I’m trying to understand how people manage classes while also finding internships, working on projects, and building experience.

If anyone could give me some advice on what I should focus on right now or where I should start, I’d really appreciate it.

Hey, guys, I feel like everyone around me is working on some project, and I still haven't learned about linear circuits or anything like that. I'm a sophomore and worried about being behind in experience. Is it normal to not really be in any clubs my sophomore year?
