Hello. My son is considering msoe and leaning towards CS. Would love to hear from current and former students about how well prepared they were for a job after graduation and how does msoe do at bringing in top tech recruiters?

It's my son's first year at MSOE, and I want to send him pizza on his birthday in a couple weeks. Any suggestions?

Looking for Engineering Fundamentals: An introduction to Engineering by Saeed Moaveni. I triedd finding this book online and I am not paying 150 for it so if anyone has it. As well as the other Freshman CACEM textbooks.

Hello!

Considering applying to MSOE for the M.S. Engineering program for Spring 2025 admission. I am out-of-state however, and I am worried about the price tag.

What's the university like? Does the level of education, network/research/post-grad opportunities, organizations, etc. warrant the cost? For context, I'm applying to other schools in the WI area, like UW-Madison and UW-Milwaukee, as well, so feel free to compare those to MSOE (particularly UW-Milwaukee, since UW-Madison's reputation is much more known I feel).

Thanks!

Hey all active students, returning student here(last attended in 2021). Just got my new laptop (thinkpad win 11) and curious how few things work.

First, downloading licensed apps (solidworks, matlab, ansys, etc..) How do I get those apps installed? I remember there used to be a library we would access from laptops to install licensed apps. Not sure if the system is the same.

Second, VPN. How does school VPN work? Can I still log into the VPN from home WiFi? How do I install school VPN?

Third, printers. I should be connected to local printers already, correct? I remember this always being an issue, so all advice is appreciated.

Lastly, canvas. Is Canvas still used for homework and classes? I remember blackboard was a thing at some point, but not sure how things are now.

I’m a junior mechanical engineering student and been away from school for quite a while. Really looking forward to picking back up.

For a variety of reasons, I wasn't placed into differential equations in my freshman year despite already completing the course in high school. Could someone send me the textbook that MSOE uses for the course, so I can study for it on my own and hopefully test out or get credit from a course from another college simultaneously or during the summer?

Hi guys!! I had a question regarding the location of my classes. For personal reasons I have been on vacation most of the summer out of the country and I have not had the opportunity to visit the school and all the information I have is through email and phone calls. For this reason I do not know the location of my classes and I do not want to feel lost on the first day. Can someone explain to me what building this is? The index only says “science” but I don’t think it is very specific since I have tried to use the virtual map and, while the other acronyms are easy to understand, this one is different from the rest. Thanks!!!

Hello, I'm an incoming student placed in MLH and was wondering if there was enough room to bring a pc? it's pretty big tbh but I feel like if i put my PC on the floor then I'd have enough desk space for the monitor, kbm, etc.

Today my transact balance has increased and is saying that I have to pay for the summer semester. I wasn’t enrolled for the summer semester and financial aid still hasn’t responded. Has this happened to anyone else?

I know they give us licenses and whatnot, but can I install my own software too and be the admin? Coming from high school where they didn't let me do nothing. I just want remote desktop to my PC.

I was wondering if it’s allowed to take food from the dining halls back to the dorms to eat later. If not, does anyone actually check?

I received a 4 on the AP Calc AB exam and was given the option to go directly to Calc II. Does Calc AB generally provide a good enough foundation to go straight to Calc II?

I'm an incoming freshman and originally I was thinking of going into biomedical engineering (with a plan to do the AI track) I am interesting in the medical aspects of it, but I came across the option to minor in biomedical engineering.

Would I be better off majoring in mechanical engineering with a minor in biomedical engineering or sticking with a biomedical degree with the Al? Thoughts?

I’m an incoming freshman and I’m gonna stay in MLH. I noticed there’s no AC, I also noticed MSOE doesn’t allow you to bring your own. Is this an actual strict rule or can you sneakyly get away with it?

Hello, I'm an incoming freshman and I chose Cs as my major and I heard that msoe standards for tests is very high and 70% is considered as D grade and the average gpa is 2.5 and I am an international student, first year topics in math I'm very familiar with I just want to know about the level of difficulty

I’m an incoming freshman, and for a variety of reasons, I won’t be able to start out with Calc 2 even though I was exempt from Calc 1 due to my SAT score. I know that I’ll be bored out of my head with Calc 1 because I took advanced integral calculus at an international high school, so was wondering what textbooks Calc 2 uses so I don’t waste all the time I’m enrolled in Calc 1 for.

Does anyone know anything about the size of the rooms or general info about the dorm? Can it comfortably fit 3 people…?

Hey all, I'm looking for an online course for a linear algebra credit. Does anyone have any suggestions or courses they specifically took and got a linear algebra course credit for? Thanks!

What Room? (For girl)

I will be attending MSOE this fall, and was wondering if anybody had any advice or suggestions for a freshman to room. Is it possible to girl have a boy roommate? How does does the roommating works? If you could share, I would appreciate it!

Hello! I will be starting this fall at MSOE this fall as a transfer student from MATC. If I took calculus 1 on the spring semester, do I need to make a test at MSOE just so they can make sure I learned what was taught there? Thanks

Staying there for a couple weeks this summer are there any gyms nearby that have Pelotons? Thanks!

Has anyone received the confirmation email for the NACME Summer Virtual Bridge Program?

Hello everyone,
My sister got an admit at MSOE for undergrad in computer science.She is an international student (Indian) and I would like to know few things about the college

1. I heard its only known in the Wisconsin region. So how do people find opportunities that too as an international student due to sponsorship issues?
2. I have seen few people saying bad about the maths department how is it currently because CS has subjects related to calculus ,probability and statistics?
3. Seems like 70% is the D grade for students out there which makes the student to really grind the subjects. So no social life?
4. How is the life for an international student for job opportunities such as internships or full-time opportunities?
5. Overall how much do you rate the computer science major and business minor over there? is it worth the price?
6. Do people get scholarships? how much do they need to secure on 4.00 scale for scholarships?
7. What are the part-time scenes over there?

Any inputs could really help to know more about the college

I’m an incoming south Asian freshman, and my parents are kind of worried about sending me to MSOE because they perceive Milwaukee as a conservative city. Have any of you ever experienced racism on campus, or inside a dorm, or know anyone who has?

Also, how's the food in the dining halls if I plan to stay vegetarian? I eat dairy and eggs.

I’m trying to figure out how to get my schedule to work so I can attend a summer camp at MSOE, which I’m almost certainly committed to (I’m a high school junior from out of state). I know there’s scholarship money available for those who attend summer camps, and I’m wondering if anyone knows how much that amount is. I’m trying to get into the Women in Technology Camp, if that helps at all.

Hey there,

I know it's been a few years since COVID really got people involved into using their excess compute power into folding. I saw that MSOE had a very productive FAH team but almost everyone has stopped contributing. Anyone want to get back to it?

is viets tower hall bathrooms or private dorm room bathrooms

I just took the ALEKS placement test for the second time and I am confused on the score, the first time it said i got a 19 an then a 31 and I don't know whats considered a good score or not, also what will get you placed into calculus.

Does anybody know when the general scholarship award recepiants are notified of their application status (denied/awarded)? I believe the application deadline was May 1st.

Trying to determine how much in loans I need to take out, but I don't to take out too much in case I get awarded a scholarship.

Do they have volleyball and or basketball open gym at MSOE or you able to set it up at all. If not does anyone know anywhere nearby you could go?
