Welcome to the EECS-perimental Blog, truly a new venture for this large graduate community at MIT. Most of our illustrious bloggers volunteered willingly, and a few others were coaxed, or coerced, depending on who you ask!
We have asked them to openly and honestly share with you their musings and ramblings about their graduate life and experience here in the MIT Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department. We hope you’ll enjoy reading about the community here in EECS, a/k/a Course 6, a/k/a Course VI!
Thanks for joining us, and please feel free to become part of the dialogue by replying to a post! Please keep in mind that our bloggers are working for little more than an occasional cookie, so please be kind to them.
