Joys of being in Electrical Engineering at DTU

DISCLAIMER

The following articles is only for the eyes of EE department students of DTU. If you don't happen to be one of us, keep the secrets to just yourselves or know the we have a surprisingly good knowledge of electricity's various cool uses. Just Kidding! Enjoy.

If you're in DTU and you're in the Electrical Engineering Department, chances are you're probably, either complaining about how demanding this stream is and playing the martyr card in-front of your friends or regaling the horrors of the stream to scare off your juniors. I haven't even completed a month yet, and I know it is going to be a tough ride. Yet, our lives are far from a lost cause! There are certain things that appear to be special only for the EE and EEE department students. Lets go through them, shall we?

1)  You can get out of commitments by the merely mentioning your stream. If you're a part of any society and you're being asked to do some work, use this fact as your trump card. It works like a charm every time. Taking advantage of people's sympathy for us is so easy! 

2) Plenty of streams will taunt you about your workload and lack of a "life". These mostly include production, automotive et al. I've found the perfect response to such jabs. Their branch is simply not CORE enough to be comparing with us. Get it, get it?! No offense to my friends in those branches!

In case the person in-front does happen to be from a core branch, just leave it. You don't need to reply to everybody. We are simply too busy to care. 

3) Shared experience of burden and torturously long study hours makes us thick buddies with our classmates. Which other stream boasts of that?

4)Unrelenting teachers makes us the most clever people. Our brain develops an uncanny ability to make up excuses to get out of work or ask for seemingly legit bunks.
