I’ve also taken two GE’s: Art History 1 and sociology 1.

My question is this: what classes would you recommend for this summer in order to get my feet wet?
I would recommend you get more GEs out of your way first. I strongly discourage you from taking upper-division engineering classes during summer sessions, because six weeks is way too fast.

CS majors don't have that "technical minor" anymore -- it's now a "technical breadth" requirement which everyone in HSSEAS takes. There's no minor that favors Artificial Intelligence; that's what CS 161 is for.
