<p>ENGR 135 is much less coding then ENGR 195. In 195 you learn Vpython, MATLAB, and C+ I believe and you have a big project where you have to program robots which is pretty cool but also really time consuming. </p>
<p>The first semester of regular ENGR is pretty much a waste but the second semester is all MATLAB and really sucks because they teach it pretty poorly. </p>
<p>However, from the people I know in honors they say it's pretty rough but people struggle in both..</p>
<p>Yes, the whole entire class is more or less group based. For 135 you have to do a MEA and a Final Project the MEA is the most ridiculously retarded thing you'll ever do in your entire life and the Final Project for the first semester is designing a new transportation system for the campus. </p>
<p>Groups are assigned after you fill out this survey of times you are available. My suggestion is that if you know friends in the class all of you fill out the same thing so that you're in a group together. Just a suggestion. :)</p>
