I head that EE1 sucks compared to Physics 1C, what's your take on that?

I've never taken Physics 1C (obviously) but I heard they cover the same material -- except that EE 1 doesn't have the same "liberal flair" that Physics 1C brings with the whole bit on relativity and theoretical physics.

Flopsy,

Would it improve any engineer's chances if he/she were in any campus clubs? In other words, do you know anyone who got a job from UCLA who never participated in campus activities/societies/clubs?

Yes, it would -- the improvement really depends on the club, though. If you're in the UCLA chapter of a national engineering society, that's a hook for employment. If you're in HKN/TBP/UPE, that's even better... If you're in Dance Marathon, on the other hand, employers won't give a hoot. No, I don't know anyone from UCLA who never participated in campus activities/societies/clubs and got a job, frankly, because activities/societies/clubs are usually how I meet people in the first place -- it's a sort of Catch-22 circumstance that prevents me from giving you the answer you want.

I know that TBP selects people, so people can't really join on their own .. kind of interesting situation.

Which clubs/societies would you recommend for engineers in general (all types of engineers).

As my mentor once said, "ESUC is full of engineers who are friendly at the meetings, but would probably stab you in the _____ so they can beat the curve the next day".
