<p>Hi, I’m planning to do a joint major in EECS and Materials science…and the booklet’s recommending me to take E 10 (Engineering Design and Analysis) and E 7 (Intro to Applied Computing) freshman year. Are these absolute requirements? What if I just don’t take these and go straight to CS 61A? Thanks.</p>
<p>E7 and CS61A count for the same thing.
If you are able to, take E7 instead because MATLAB is more useful than scheme (esp if you are doing a materials science double major).</p>
<p>Does that mean that CS 61A is not necessary to get a joint EECS/MatSci degree?</p>
<p>CoE’s sample EECS/MSE Joint Major Course Program is on this very long webpage about a quarter to a third down:</p>
<p>[Undergraduate</a> Notes 2007 - 2008](<a href=“http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Programs/Notes/newnotes.shtml#chapter2]Undergraduate”>http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Programs/Notes/newnotes.shtml#chapter2)</p>
<p>It states that you must take CS61A and doesn’t say to take E7</p>
<p>It says to take Engineering 7 (E7) during Freshman Spring, under “Sample Curriculum for EECS/MSE Joint Major”</p>
<p>Then you gotta do both CS61A and E7 for the joint degree.</p>
