Michel Moraga has sent out multiple emails starting last year regarding CS 31 openings - it has not extended to Spring terms. In fact, an email about that topic was just sent out today again.
This means that CS 31 is flexible schedule-wise as long as you are not EE (excluding EEBM) or CSE for engineers. It is not a prerequisite class for other classes for Chemical Engineering.
In any sense, CS 31 is a tough class for anyone who hasn't had programming experience . Quote: |
For Fall 06, they changed MAE 20 to CS 31
| Kind of an odd change in my opinion. I think MATLAB is still imporant for some practical usage, right?
As for MAEs, I don't think Introduction C++ and Autodesk Inventor is enough for large companies. Why not just focus on ProE for the design aspect? |

| sux they made cs 170a fall only...the alternate class for cs majors was not as appealing as this class, from what i remember...now i gotta wait a year?!?! uhhh, maybe i should take that other one...we still need engr 183/185 right?!?! i'm following the newest catalog if that makes any difference...i remember all engineers having to take an ethics class | |

A lot of courses use Matlab like MAE 171, 107, 169, and 182C. Most of the professors I know use either Fortran or Matlab. Even on the assist website it said fortran was recommended.
In my experience, C++ has been almost useless in my ME courses. I've only taken C++ and I've been able wing it on courses that use Matlab. Knowing C++ just gave me general idea of how the computer will compute whatever kind of matlab code I put in it. I just had learn about the different commands and other things as time went on.
The Civil engineering dept still offers matlab, so ME's can MAYBE take C&EE 15 and then petition for credit for CS 31. | |

| If you're referring to Chem 20A, most CSE majors take it during Fall Quarter of freshman year. That schedule is indeed typical of CSE majors for Winter Quarter of freshman year.  | |

| is it true that engineering students get a certain amount of free printing? if so, where do we go to get that? | |

| The ESUC lounge. You have to be a ESUC member though. | |

| ORL gives $5 worth of free print credit (100 pages) if you activate your account. You an receive more if you attend the RLCC's workshops too.
I think you get a few hundred pages of free printing with ESUC membership, plus bonus 100 if you solve their riddles (though I'm not totally certain if they do this anymore). | |

| ESUC is FREE for now, because they screwed up the computers. Everyone is logged in as admin. The riddle gives you candy. I think Sona's doing it now.
ESUC = engineering society of UCLA. 5800 Boelter across from Seascafe | |

you should be able to pick up your membership card if an officer is around in the esuc lounge. i believe they have officer hours posted on the door. | |
