Solid-state semiconductors. The entire course deals with the movement of electrons in a semiconductor: properties of Si/GaAs, electron/hole density and mobility, P/N junctions, energy bands, Fermi energies, and effects of doping/impurities in semiconductors. I hope your calculator can display 12 digits of precision.

What is Breadth course / HSSEAS GE Elective? I took few GE classes at my CC( Speech/Asian American Studies/ Political Science). Can I use them to fulfill those requirements? ( CSE major)

The difference between the two is that breadth courses are three engineering courses outside your major (yes, EE counts if you're not an EE major). HSSEAS GE electives are social science/humanities courses like the ones you listed.

Flopsy,

So, what happens when a petition for a change of major does not go through?

Does Engineering 183 count as a breadth class, or even a Writing II? When do people usually take that?

Your petition form will have a handwritten reason for denial at the bottom (e.g. low GPA). That reason will be the thing you have to eliminate in order to change your major.

No, it doesn't count as a breadth class or a Writing II. Most people take it during their fourth year.

I know for some engineering majors, it requires a project design class and then doing an actual project for the last two quarters.

How does that run? Is there a mentor and how much time do you think it takes to complete?

Yes. CS/CSE/EECE majors have an engineering capstone project (CS M52B) where you have to design and build a complete digital system with an expensive FPGA over the course of a quarter. The massive Computer Engineering research and unending all-nighters learning the Xilinx ISE/EDK makes this course nigh-unbearable for a 4-unit course. Nobody likes this class -- even the students who enjoyed CS 151B/152A. There is no mentor -- just a laboratory TA who's almost as disgruntled as we are. You have to do it too.
