<p>How do transfer students usually fare in computer science? Are there a bunch of new programming languages they have to learn?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>For MAE 102, just go on the first day of class so you can get a PTE number to add. I’ve never been turned down from adding a required class in the MAE department unless it was a lab.</p>
<p>
Some of the smartest students I know in my CS classes are transfer students. A lot of them tend to enjoy programming outside of school, so they have a lot of experience already (don’t know if the same applies to you).</p>
<p>And no, the programming languages that you may have to learn will probably be new to the majority of the students in the class (transfer or not - it doesn’t really matter).</p>
<p>How would you rank these classes in terms of workload/difficulty:
EE103
EE1
EE2
EE M16
EE10
EE101
EE102</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>EE103 (not as bad if you like math and matlab…)
EEM16 (not bad if you’re cs-minded)
EE102 (time consuming)
EE2 (material difficult at first)
EE101
EE1
EE10</p>
<p>is that from hardest to easiest or easiest to hardest?</p>
<p>
I’d assume hardest to easiest</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>My ranking hardest to easiest:</p>
<p>EE 103 - a lot of material memorization, generally known to be the worst class in EE
EE 101 - Maxwell equations, theoretical questions on exams
EE 102 - Basically a math class, must know the tricks to do well on exams. Too bad Levan retired…again.
EE M16 - You’ll do well if you know some logic. It seems that this class has gotten harder or so I’ve heard.
EE 2 - Used to be known as a hard class, but now it’s a joke i.e. Pan.
EE 10 - Circuit analysis, a lot of practice problems and you’ll be fine.
EE 1 - Prequel to EE 101, didn’t take it here</p>
<p>The difficulty can vary dramatically based on the professor i.e. Gupta vs Staffsud EE110.</p>
<p>okay this makes sense now…explains the difficult time i’m having in ee103. 1st quarter taking EE classes and I stumble into the hardest class in EE department -_-</p>
<p>i’m not an ee major but i highly doubt ee103 is the hardest class in the EE department. (worst != hardest)</p>
<p>i’m taking the ee115 series right now and it’s pretty rough. don’t know how that compares?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Very true…worst does not mean hardest. IMO EE103 is just extremely frustrating because it doesn’t feel like it’s worth nearly the effort you have to put in. Plus, having taken most of my upper div EE courses, I still don’t see the need for this class. </p>
<p>And as GrassBandit says, it’s definitely dependent on the professor too. EE2 was definitely considered a very difficult course but I guess with Pan it isn’t anymore lol.</p>
<p>If you take the electromagnet courses in 1 year (EE1 -> EE101 -> EE161) you’ll have a much easier time. The first half of EE161 is the same material as the last half of EE101, etc).</p>
<p>And no worries about taking EE103 right now…Vandenberghe is probably the best professor to take it with. Plus, you’ll be grateful that you got it over with early on (trust me… you’ll be thanking yourself as you move forward in your EE career).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>in my opinion the EE 115A and 115B were easier than EE 103.</p>
<p>fatedreality, have you taken EE CM150 or EE 123A?</p>
<p>
How about EE115C? I’m taking that next quarter…</p>
<p>^ Some people think that EE115C was easier than EE 115A. Pamarti is a damn good lecturer so you should be fine.</p>
<p>Taking EECM150 right now…or at least the final this week haha. Didn’t take EE123A but kinda wish I had given how chill people say it was this quarter…</p>
<p>Anyone have leads/tips for a summer '10 internship for a 3rd year ME major in the Bay Area?? Anything? PM me please…</p>
<p>I am kinda confused now between choosing UCLA or UC Berkeley for transfer Electrical Engineering. Can anyone help me decide?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>go to berkeley.</p>
<p>in case you don’t know, berkeley gives engineering transfer students two years to graduate. ucla lets you stay for as long as you want.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I heard CM150 is hard.</p>
<p>ohh really, thanks a lot, I didn’t know that. But, what if I didn’t finish all my classes within 2 years in Berkley, what’s going to happen?</p>
<p>And I looked at 2009 EE rankings
UC Berkley is 2nd
UCLA is 13th</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh man…I had no idea going into the class that it was going to be more than half grad students who already seem to know everything. I was completely lost for like half the quarter but in actuality the material’s not that hard…it’s just weird seeing this stuff for the first time (as an undergrad EE) compared to the number of material science/mechE people who are already comfortable with the material. The class was def not as bad as ee103 haha.</p>
