<p>Unless you are planning on buying a copy of a PSPICE package, Matlab, or some other software package, you won’t need more than a netbook. As an engineering major you will have access to the [SEASnet</a> computer labs](<a href=“http://www.seas.ucla.edu/seasnet/]SEASnet”>http://www.seas.ucla.edu/seasnet/), which will give you access to all the software packages you’ll need. You can also do a remote access if it’s full.</p>

<p>That’s quite a busy schedule. You’re taking 5 classes, two of which are project-based courses. I’ve always avoided to take more than one CS project-based course per quarter…</p>
<p>CS33 can take 8 hours a week to 20 hours a week depending how fast you learn assembly language and how good you are at debugging 1000+ lines of low-level code. </p>
<p>Any reason why you’re squeezing 5 relatively time-consuming courses into one quarter?</p>
<p>nbui, that schedule looks fine, since chem lab shouldn’t be hard at all (is gould teaching or pang teaching?) and mae 101 shouldn’t be that bad, my roommate took it last quarter, its just on trusses and equlibrium and that stuff, i look the civil engineering version of it and its not that bad at all… plus its not like you’ll suddenly get way smarter over summer so why wait until 2nd year :D</p>
<p>thanks kick! sowa is teaching…he/she doesn’t even show up on bruinwalk…must be new?</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply. I finished my ges so now according to the sample schedule I’ll have to cram my upperdivs together. I think I’ll move cs 35L though.</p>
<p>i thought about doing cs as technical breadth and looked into that before… i thought you can only use cs 32 or 33 as one of the courses and 35L wasn’t a part of that either… from what i heard 32 is easier than 33? i was gonna take 35L this quarter but had to drop it so i have enough units remaining to get on the waitlist of a class…</p>
<p>Im wondering, does UCLA have a similar “berkeley engineering trap”??? Meaning if you don’t like it, it could be hard to transfer out?</p>
<p>wut!? you only get to skip out of math 31A if you get a 5 on the AP calc BC exam??? (EE major)
Is that true? someone? thx</p>
<p>If you get a 5 on AB or a 4 on BC, you can choose to skip 31A. If you get a 5 on BC, you are forced to skip 31A and you can choose to skip 31B as well.</p>
<p>i guess you can ignore my first question, i think it was already answered.
my new question is: </p>
<p>I’m in for EE, but I didn’t know there was CSE (basically EECS for LA?). I want to do that kind of stuff combining computers and EE, will I need to switch majors? If so difficult or no?</p>
<p>Yes, there’s Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and Electrical Engineering with Computer Engineering Option (EECE). You can pick either, depending on whether you want to concentrate more on CS or EE. </p>
<p>Switching is easy, just write a paragraph and fill out a short form.</p>
<p>Just curious here because I’ve gotten a few of these emails, though not lately, about talking to our faculty advisor. Apparently there are only 5 or so students to a faculty advisor? Well, he has asked us out to lunch I think two times and I haven’t gone to either haha, so I’m just wondering, has anyone gone to any of these meetings? If so, was it worth it to attend?</p>
<p>
Are you an undergrad? Don’t worry about it unless you are a graduate student. You’ll just be introduced to your advisor and get to know another professor in your department. The school does this so he/she can get to know your career plans, and network (let you know he/she has research positions for you to consider, but not guarantee you one, and serves as someone to talk to about your engineering career).</p>
<p>It’s good that you can have lunch in such a small group setting. For mines, I just had a closed door meeting and had a paper signed.</p>
<p>I believe they do this for 2nd and 3rd years … because this is when they start to have an idea of what they want to do … and they finally get a feel of who people are in their department and what they actually do.</p>
<p>I can’t loggin into my SEASnet account. Can anyone?</p>
<p>anyone with any idea on which class to take between EE 103 or CEE 103? anyone taken EE 103 with jacobsen before?</p>
<p>Here is what Citan had to say about Jacobsen:</p>

<p>Something ee_stu had to say about EE 103 with a different professor:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The reader for Vandenberg can be downloaded from his personal website. [url=<a href=“http://www.ee.ucla.edu/~vandenbe/103/reader.pdf]READER[/url”>http://www.ee.ucla.edu/~vandenbe/103/reader.pdf]READER[/url</a>]</p>
<p>I guess you’ll have to hope Citan looks at the forum so he can post more details about Jacobsen.</p>
<p>thanks wikipedian, i guess i’ll stick with taciroglu for CEE 103 then, although he had worse reviews on bruinwalk than jacobsen but apparently majority of the students gets As and Bs for that class…</p>
<p>Take a look at this website: [Career</a> Center - What Can I Do With a Major In…?](<a href=“http://career.berkeley.edu/Major/EECS.stm]Career”>http://career.berkeley.edu/Major/EECS.stm)</p>
<p>Is there anything like this for UCLA? This is pretty vital information if you ask me (but especially for parents).</p>
<p>Whoops, double post.</p>
<p>Another one of those “how hard is this schedule” questions. Just trying to hang on to a B+ GPA without killing myself. 2nd year MAE major.</p>
<p>CS 31
MAE 102
MAE 103
EE 100 (still on waitlist for Disc section)</p>
