<p>Python is simple to learn without a class. I’d recommend codecademy if you want to learn the basics; if you want to learn more advanced aspects from there, I’d suggest joining an opensource project.</p>
<p>I can’t think of any off the top of my head that would potentially help as a computer engineer. I can recommend some that I’ve taken, though.</p>
<p>LIN 1 (AH, SS), intro to linguistics. I’m a bit biased here seeing as it’s in my other major, but it can apply towards either breadth requirement and it’s an easy class.</p>
<p>RST 1 series (any), focusing on different aspects of religions. GEs vary a little but these are all AH and I think most/all also count towards Writing Experience. I took RST 1F with Elmore, and it was pretty much talking about southeast Asian religions. I’d recommend any of them if you’re interested in learning about religions at all.</p>
<p>ANT 2, cultural anthropology, fulfills a lot of GEs (of course, keep in mind you can’t apply all of them) and is easy. I personally thought it was kinda boring, but that’s me.</p>
<p>LIN 177, computational linguistics, can count towards SS and is really simple if you have any programming experience. LIN 1 is a listed prereq, but the professor will also let in people who haven’t taken it and have programming experience. So if you don’t mind linguistics, this is a nice class to get some simple GE credit.</p>
