| Congratulations flopsy!
I think it's a testament to the value of this thread and your even-handed informed responses to the queries. I think you've helped a lot of people with this thread.
What'll happen to it when you move on? Will you enter a sustaining engineering mode and maintain it regardless of your next move? |

Since I'm going to continue here for a fifth year, I won't be "moving on" for a while... Even now, I think there's already enough engineering students on the UCLA forum that the thread can live on as "Ask Anyone: UCLA Engineering". | |

| Thanks for the advice.
Since I am in ROTC, I'm not too concerned with finding a job immediately after college.
I was thinking that if I find aerospace to be lacking in the job market I can try to incorporate the principles of fluid mechanics to environmental engineering. | |

| Flopsy, I realized that there's only 7 experiments in 4AL. What do we do the last 2? No class? | |

| I think at least one of the experiments spans over two weeks. | |

Your major-change essay is as important as the essay you wrote when you applied to UCLA.

| One more question...
Would anyone happen to know if an essay needs to be written for change of majors within engineering?
i.e. civil --> mechanical | |

| I am enrolled in the CSE program as a freshmen, but I never took high school physics. It says that is a requirement for the school and I am confused, should I contact them? | |
