<p>hey ya’ll. i’m hoping to transfer out of a CC in two years into a UC school, and i’m hoping to major in electrical engineering. i am a musician and i am very interested in analog circuitry and signal processing. looking over the descriptions of the programs at a few of the different campuses, it seems like some have more of a focus on computer engineering and coding, which i am not as interested in. </p>
<p>my question: could anybody tell me which of the UC engineering programs focus relatively more on circuitry and less on computer science?</p>
<p>Berkeley EECS allows the student basically free choice in selection of upper division EE and CS courses, within certain constraints such as the number of design courses, number of units of various categories of courses, etc… However, the lower division requirements (CS 61A, 61B, 61C, 70 and EE 20N and 40) are very hard to find at community colleges, so transfer students often have to do a lot of “catch up” after transferring to Berkeley EECS.</p>

<p>All of them do. The main reason you want to know at least a lil computer program because many of the design software you can put pieces of code in. Most EE programs only ask you take a course in C. And Matlab is technically a programming language, its based on matrix algebra. </p>
<p>Don’t stress about it. UCI has a very traditional analog program. But in essence they all do. You still want to know a lil about digital devices, it’s the sign of the time. Think about it, you have music apps that can simulate instruments. How can you learn how to do that w/o programming?</p>
