<p>Is the electrical engineering major with the biomed option have a lot more requirements than the standard EE major?</p>
<p>No, it’s one of the worst decision since you don’t learn as much EE as straight up, and you barely learn any LS.</p>
<p>Hi Flopsy!!</p>
<p>I have a question about CS. You see, I’m really worried about all the things people say about it such as the increasingly high risk of outsourcing; having to constantly keep up with new CS languages because the younger people are always gonna be steps ahead; and having to be nothing but a “code monkey” for the first few years. </p>
<p>I’m just wondering to what extent these sayings are true? Sorry, I know it’s not really UCLA-related, but I want to make up my mind soon. I’m stuck between CS and one of the engineering fields.</p>
<p>
At least one CS freshman asks this question each year at Engineering Open House. These assertions are not true, unless you’re deliberately aiming to become a code monkey (and it’s okay to be passionate about that). Real software development that requires a B.S./M.S. in Computer Science is disjoint from the outsourced jobs (e.g. tech support), and the usage of C++/Java are going to outweigh any new CS languages for the next decade to come. You’ll have to know more languages (e.g. Python) to go into web development, but UCLA has a course designed to get you used to learning multiple languages (CS 131) in a fast-paced environment. Other CS majors in my graduating class have become employed in code-less pursuits such as consulting, marketing and teaching. Then there are the vast majority who enjoy being code monkeys… :rolleyes:</p>

</p>
<p>the outcome is the same. you can still get a job at Boeing, Qualcomm, NASA, IBM, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. Google.</p>
<p>Anyone taking Engr 183 this quarter? The class just feels so pointless at this point…we’re talking about Ten Commandments and other religious codes…
How harshly does he grade the papers and exams? I mean, what level of good writing is he expecting from us?
His rubric is so long and scary…I thought this was supposed to be an easy class?</p>
<p>Engr 183 is easy. You just have to wake up and sign-in or have someone else do it for you.The papers and exams are not harshly graded at all. Just make sure to have decent grammar and support your claims. All you need to do is review the slides for the exams, you don’t really need to read the book. Just BS as much as possible on the exams.</p>
<p>I would suggest finishing your portion of the group research paper as soon as possible. I was able to finish first, and I didn’t have to edit or compile the whole thing.</p>
<p>There are some lectures that will be interesting. I think they’re Prof. Brown’s lectures.</p>
<p>Engr 183: The biggest joke in the Engineering curriculum</p>
<p>Anyone know that the assignment is in the class? Can anyone give me a rundown of what needs to be done?
VERY IMPORTANT</p>
<p>Im not enrolled in the class, but im getting added in.</p>
<p>Your question was answered in the thread that you started. Not “very important” at all.</p>
<p>NEXT!</p>
<p>I heard that you can take ENGR 185 instead of 183. One of my friends is doing that just to avoid taking an 8am class. </p>
<p>Ask the counseling office for more info on this.</p>
<p>You don’t have to see a counselor for any of that. Just look stuff up on HSSEAS website.</p>
<p>Yes, you can take either ENGR 95 or 183 or 185 for your engineering ethics requirement.</p>
<p><a href=“b”>quote=HSSEAS OASA</a> one 4-unit engineering ethics course chosen from Engineering 95, 183 or 185 (or BIOENGR 165 for BE majors);</p>
<p>For those students that are following the 2005-2006 and later catalogs (2006-07, 2007-08 etc), where Writing II is required, completing ENGR 183 or ENGR 185 will satisfy the Writing II Requirement and you no longer need to take an additional “W” Writing II course. This is also the case for students that had previously completed ENGR 183 or 185. *Bioengineering majors who complete Bioengineering 165 before F08 will also be granted Writing II credit. Writing II credit for Bioengineering 165 taken F08 or later is still under review. No petitions are required.

I like how ENGR 183 violates the U.S. Constitution. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>2 questions:</p>
<p>first, i got a email a while back saying if you take some engineering class, it fulfills your writing 2 requirement. is this true for mechanical engineering curriculum? (following the 2006-2007 engineering announcement guideline). i forgot the class # and that email is buried somewhere in my thousands of undeleted emails</p>
<p>second, where do you get those “trust me i’m an engineer” shirts?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>It’s probably Engineering 183 or 185…the engineering ethics class… Just look at GrassPuppet’s post just above flopsy’s post (#2492)</p></li>
<li><p>don’t get those corny ****ty shirts</p></li>
</ol>
<p>
Tau Beta Pi. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>You’ll need to initiate into TBP first.</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>Actually, we (TBP) sell the shirts to non-members for $10. They’re only offered in black and white and the colored ones are for members only. </p>
<p>To purchase the shirt, come by the TBP room (Boelter 6266)</p>
<p>What’s the GPA requirement for TBP again?</p>
<p>Juniors: 1/8th of your class
Seniors: 1/5th of your class</p>
