[RFI] RFI on New Digital TV

[Charles Gallo]

Jim,
RIT is also a 5 year co-op school

My daughter was originally EE/Robotics, but went otherwise. She loves math. She once said to me “Smith Charts are for those who can’t do math”. She does FPGA work now

My son wasn’t sure if he wanted to do hardware or software. The Computer Engineering major splits it. A bit less power and RF etc, but more programming. He’s doing embedded code. His co-op was writing code that may be running the power train of your car. Where he is now does high speed data data work

My EE was '59-'64, and I'm pretty sure that I would have learned about Fourier Series in math courses, of which I had a lot. My first EE course was in my third year of five (U of Cincy was co-op), so it was a five year course.
