The two weeder classes for ECE are 18100 and 21127. Though the future courses are definitely more difficult than those two, by that time you’ve already made the decision to tough it out.

On Topic: ECE and SCS are definitely not cutthroat. Most of us are too busy trying to get our work done to care about curve ruining. Also most of the professors only curve up. That is, if you have over 90%, you can bet that you have an A. I think for certain classes at UCB this isn’t the case, where even a 94% can mean a B (which I guess may lead to a more cutthroat environment…). But that’s just anecdotal, so take it with a grain of salt.
