This is what I am doing for ME, I used my EE 100 and MSE 104 to satisfy the technical breadth.
Zero, can you explain this more clearly? I am on the same path as you. Would this mean that I can replace EE 100 and MSE 104 with any MAE course (non major)?

Sure

Yes, any upper div course in the MAE dept that is not part of your degree requirement. You still need to take EE 100, MSE 104 and one course from the engineering science area to satisfy the technical breadth option.
. It's better to talk to your counseler about this.
BTW, the only course that may not work is MAE 169A, since its material overlaps with 107/107L. I'm taking 169 right now and found out that I can use it to replace 107/107L(haven't taken yet) by petition.

The only reason that I am doing the technical breadth this way is because I want to go to grad school and need the extra MAE courses to satisfy a particular area of study. MAE students following the older catalog had to choose a focus area like thermo/heat, manufacturing engineering etc.

CS31 with Rohr

I haven't heard great things about CS31 with Rohr... Is it hard? Is it boring? Both? I have prior programming experience in C++, nothing special but I can do some easy programming. Should I take it winter quarter with Rohr, or wait until Smallberg offers it? What would be a good class instead of CS31 as an EE major (don't want to take a GE)?

CS31 with Rohr is extremely boring. He doesn't really grasp your attention so you tend to lose focus and not learn anything from him...

If you've had SOME prior programming experience (I only had Java experience and I took Rohr), then you'll be ahead of the game. I had a good TA so it balanced out Rohr.

I ended up just ordering the C++ book right now internationally. I figure even that although I spend maybe an extra 20 than buying it used... It'll last a long time since I'll keep it with me. Any pointers on where to start (beyond the, my name is Deuces, basic program).
heh, forgot to reply to this earlier....

get How To Learn C++ in 20 Days or something like that, think the author is Jones. that's how i taught myself C++, and i haven't seen a better book.

Prof. Smallberg told me MAE 20 is being phased out, so yes, it is no longer offered.

You can still learn MATLAB from other classes though...

Should have taken it this quarter, I dropped 100 anyways

Why don't you ever end your sentences in this: ';'
Haven't you had enough of C++;

That's sick, hibiscuspink! Just because you [anda few others] are 'homophile' doesn't mean that I am!
