<p>Thanks for the link, great website! Do you know of any for open source projects? Would prefer ones that don’t all require “senior” developers and such…</p>

<p>With open source projects, you just have to be able to contribute a small piece here and there and help read through and catch bugs, they’re very ad-hoc and you find out what interests you. Look at the Drupal Community persay, and see how each module’s development is run. Also see Google’s Summer of Code projects for inspiration on how to deal with finding a project to help with. </p>
<p>In addition, I’m personally looking for someone to help take over Bruin Consulting (my student org) webmaster duties in the future. Basically involves running the entire web related infrastructure of the organization, and the good thing is that I can help train you on where to look. The ideal candidate is a techie, can do CSS/HTML, and has an interest in entrepreneurship/strategy & management consulting.</p>
<p>I might actually be interested in that :O</p>
<p>Pop your resume, list of relevant experience, statement of interest and qualifications to <a href="mailto:webmaster@bruinco.com">webmaster@bruinco.com</a> Make sure you take a look at the old website so that you can get a feel for what we do. <a href=“http://www.bruinco.com%5B/url%5D”>www.bruinco.com</a> then click ‘oldwebsite’</p>
<p>I need to log off of CC… need to Drupal the website.</p>
<p>Hey guys, i’ll be a freshman majoring in CSE and I lost my TI 84 during last semester. Should I invest in another 84 where I know how to use most of the functions or invest in a 89? Is TI 89 helpful for CSE majors?</p>
<p>You don’t need a TI 89 and you don’t really even need a calculator for CS just math/ee/physics classes. I’ve used a TI 83 for 2 years so far and it’s been fine.</p>
<p>My 2 have TI-83., both wished they have TI89 which can do calculus for Physic the past years. Yesterday we brought 2 and each cost $135 ($125+Tax$10) from Micro Center Tustin. Online and local store price range from $139-$159 (without Tax yet). You may be able to find used, refurbish or older model for about $90 online.</p>
<p>if you wait long enough you can find the TI-89 for about $110 from Home Depot. keep an eye on slickdeals</p>
<p>I’ve never seen calculators sold at Home Depot :rolleyes: hehe</p>
<p>i meant office depot -_-</p>
<p>Has anyone taken PIC40A (Introduction to Programming for Internet) and is it worth it?
If I’m CSE major, can I take it as some kind of elective or technical breadth?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Highly doubt it.</p>
<p>Hey, for physics 1A it says math 31b is an enforced corequisite and 32A is the recommended corequisite. So i guess that sort of makes 31b the recommended prerequisite…is it a good idea to finish 31b before i take 1a so i can take 32a and 1a concurrently, or does it not really matter?</p>
<p>Depends on your professor. I had to compute a Taylor series and do an easy double integral (over a square) on my Physics 1A final exam. </p>
<p>Most of my friends said they used little calculus beyond derivatives. I think this is more common than my case.</p>
<p>Quick question, if you were to pass out of Chem 20a with a 4 or 5 on AP, how do you do that? Do you just fill out a form and it gets automatically accepted by the engineering department or what?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It should automatically show up as being credited on ursa. You don’t have to fill out a petition :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There’s definitely a petition, but do you just fill out the form an it’s automatically accepted or what.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I filled out a petition my freshmen year and they had written on it that it was unnecessary to fill one out. Go ahead and do it anyways to be safe. It’ll be approved automatically. Either way ursa should reflect the credit.</p>
<p>Just go to the Engineering office on 6th floor boelter and fill one out. Check back within a week or two in the student mailbox and it’ll tell you if it’s been approved or not.</p>
<p>There’s no petition to fill out, but when you enroll for Chem 20B, you’ll need to email one of the Chem/Biochem Department advisers.</p>
<p>Ya, but for a CSE major all that is required is Chem 20a so there’s no other chem class to enroll in lol</p>
