Sariha Azad Added Wednesday, May 2, 2018 at 12:11 PM How can I survive the engineering course? I am a freshman student of electrical and electronic engineering. My classes have started just a month ago and already I am feeling terribly frustrated. Recently I have messed up badly in a test. Many of my classmates solved the problem correctly in time.
