UCLA Engineering Q&A

<p>

It’s not too bad for introductory upper division courses and lower division because there are chances you will finish before the 3 hours limit, or sometimes, the professor might cut the final short.</p>

<p>People don’t need more than a 30 minute break, since they might have been cramming and want to retain as much information as possible … and any break where they would be “studying” would be useless since they either know if from before or not at this stage.</p>

<p>i’ve yet to have more than one final on the same day :D</p>

<p>edit: nevermind…i’ve never had back to back. i usually finish one, go nap, and then take the 2nd one.</p>

<p>what are the chances of me petitioning for a change in final time given that im having 3 finals back to back to back?</p>

<p>I am currently enrolled in EE M16/CS M51A and Engineering 183EW for the spring quarter and I plan to get into EE 103 (and possibly Physics 4BL if space opens up) during my second pass. A couple questions:</p>

<ol>
<li>How’s my workload?</li>
<li>How is EE 103? I read off Bruinwalk that Jacobsen is very tough and fails students easily.</li>
<li>I noticed that EE 103 and CS 170A are similar in that they are heavily math-oriented. How are they different?</li>
</ol>

<p>are there any easy ge’s people here have taken?</p>

<p>im taking math33b, physics 1al, cs31, ee1. so I was hoping to take a GE with these classes incase I need to drop cs31 later on cause i have no programming experience lol.</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>I’m in CSE and I have a question regarding my Spring schedule:
Right now I was able to get):
GE (Intro to Linguistics)
Math 32A
CS33 (Will get on my second pass)
and maybe another GE or Physics 1B.
Sadly, Physics 1AL is completely closed.
The thing is, the better physics professor’s class is closed, and the other two are pretty bad according to the reviews. I was wondering if I should suck it up and take Physics 1B with either of the remaining bad profs or take a “break” and take a GE.
Also, I’m going to take Summer courses, so I might take Physics 1B if I don’t take this next quarter.</p>

<p>if corbin is teaching 1b over summer you should take that… class is small so its easy to ask questions, learn the material better and more accessible office hours due to less people :D</p>

<p>But the thing is that it doesn’t say who is teaching 1B over summer… Maybe I’ll ask him in person, since I’m taking his 1A…
I gotta decide quickly lol… second pass is coming up</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Talk to your professors immediately to see if you can take the final early or later.</p>

<p>anyone taken EE 103 or CEE 103? im a civil e major but EE 103 can be taken in place of CEE 103… both classes are on numerical computation or something like that (matlab) so anyone know which is harder?</p>

<p>EE 103 is ****ing hard, or so I’ve heard…</p>

<p>I’ve also heard that EE 103 is a ****ing waste of time because you don’t ever use it for anything else.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>which is why I haven’t taken it yet and won’t be till sometime senior year :D</p>

<p>civil engineers need a matlab course as requirement for our upperdivs next year so its either cee 103 and ee 103 since both are numerical computing… but then i looked up the final time for ee 103… if i take that class i have 4 finals back to back to back to back on monday…</p>

<p>Hey everyone, does UCLA have an engineering program devoted to studying renewable/green energy and technology?</p>

<p>^ No. Use the Google next time…->[Google</a> Search: UCLA engineering](<a href=“UCLA engineering - Google Search”>UCLA engineering - Google Search)</p>

<p>So should UCLA even be one of my choices (if I get accepted) if I plan on studying that topic of engineering?</p>

<p>JteH, you should pick a school that has the most research areas so that you can easily be exposed to them if you so choose. What you are interested in now might not be the same two years down the road. IMO, renewable/green energy and technology is the same as nanotechnology in the sense that there isn’t a single field that encompasses it as a whole. You can major in EE, ME, ChemE, physics, etc. and still work on that issue. So pick a school that’s a best fit for you.</p>

<p>Thanks for that informative post. Now, do you think getting a degree at UCLA will have greater benefits than say, UCB or UCSD, in the long run? I’m referring to job security, recognition by employers, etc. For now, my plan is to enter the green energy market, but I know my goals may change in the future.</p>

<p>There’s really no benefit of choosing one of those schools over another in terms of job security. The only thing I can think of at the moment is UCSD Bioengineering > UCLA/UCB. You should visit all the schools you get accepted into. The UCLA environment is different than UCB.</p>

<p>Hi…I’m a third year Com Sci, I’m thinking of taking </p>

<p>CS 180
CS 130
CS M124
Engr 112
GE</p>

<p>for spring…too much?
how hard a quarter do u think it would be…?</p>
