Will this question be on-topic on Academia.SE? Does it make sense to migrate?

@NickAlexeev I think (as a mere poster, I'm not a mod here) that it would be off-topic on academia: we don't do undergraduate questions. It would be a shame to lose it from EE.SE, as it looks like it has at least one good, referenced answer already.

@NickAlexeev I'd also say don't migrate (but I'm also not a moderator nor a particularly active user here). I just don't really see what the question has to do with academia.

@NickAlexeev I do have enough experience here to know that "academia" in the context of this site's scope is generally taken to mean teaching and research, not learning - or in other words, as EnergyNumbers said, grad school and up, not undergraduate. (And that interpretation is followed to some extent in the wider world.) Also I disagree that the question is about academic classes. It seems to be about the subject of electrical engineering.

I guess @StrongBad can give you an authoritative answer now that he's here ;-)

@DavidZ From EE.SE perspective, that question is opinion-based and also off-topic because it's not about electronics design. Career advice, requests for book recommendations, and such are routinely closed on EE.SE as opinion-based. We do entertain opinion-based like that in EE.SE chat though.

Yeah, I don't disagree with that, and I'm not claiming it's on topic for you - certainly not all questions about [field] are on topic at the SE site for [field]. The point is, from my perspective as a member of Academia, it looks like a question about a specific subject, not about academia itself.

@NickAlexeev Would it be on-topic for you if it was changed to asking how probability theory is used in EE? Then, existing answers would still apply, and it would still help the OP.

@NickAlexeev I agree with the comments that you have received so far that it seems off topic for us. As people have said while undergraduate students are a part of academia, it is not who we cater too.

@NickAlexeev: To me that question seems off-topic here in Academia.SE as I know it, but let me say that, as Electronic Engineer, considering that question as opinion based in EE.SE is definitely questionable ;-)
