<p>aww… ok. thanks for the info. Did Mike teach well? Was he hard on grading?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>He taught pretty well, definitely knew what he was doing. I don’t know how hard he is on grading, but if you put in enough effort, you should be able to get an A.</p>
<p>Thank you for your fast replies!</p>
<p>now, another one :)</p>
<p>I wanna get into research. How should I do this? Talk to smallberg? E-mail some profs? Or is it not worth trying?</p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>Potential quarter:</p>
<p>CS 131
EE 2
Math 61</p>
<p>Thoughts? Im done with physics and math 33b doesn’t fit in this schedule. I’ve heard CS 131 and EE 2 are both tough, so I figured I would pad the units with 61, which I heard is easy. Should I add another class, or would that be too much?</p>
<p>Quick question: How hard would it be to take, say, Math 32B, Physics 1B, Chem 20L, and Physics 4AL in one quarter?</p>
<p>kirbyrock: Not too hard at all.</p>
<p>Pewgsz: If you’re on track for graduation, doing those three will be fine. CS131 will be the time consuming one. In fact, I’m taking it next quarter as well.</p>
<p>Anyone tried taking MAE 157 and EE110L during the same quarter?</p>
<p>here are the TA’s for cs 35l</p>
<p>Caleb Leak</p>
<p>Jiangzhe Wang</p>
<p>would you guys recommend either?</p>
<p>Can someone tell me your thoughts on this schedule?</p>
<p>CS 32- Nachenberg
Math 61 - Gieseker
CS M51A- Nahapetian
AN N EA 10W(GE) - Cargill</p>
<p>I’m debating on taking CS35L instead of M51A. Which one do you think is easier? And is this schedule going to be too hard? I dont know a whole lot about Math 61, 51A or 35L but i heard math 61 isn’t too hard.</p>
<p>4 year plan for comp sci?</p>
<p>
Doable, MAE 157 may take up a lot of time with long reports. If you have responsible lab partners, you can add two more classes, but if not, take 3 for this quarter.</p>
<p>I changed majors end of 1st year so I had to wait till spring to take CS32</p>
<p>I’ve had trouble finding answers to this using the search function, so sorry if this has been repeated before. Anyone know of the good (better) Mechanical electives to take?</p>
<p>Options: C132A, 133A, 133AL, 135, 136, CM140, 150A, 150B, 150C, 150R, 157A, 166C, M168, 171B, 181A, 182B</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>C132A: Mass transfer, taught my Mills, around half of the students will be grad students. Recommended.
133A: More complete understanding of 105A, will be projects. Recommended.
133AL: Not always offered, in fact I think it is every other year. Lots of grad students take it. Recommended.
135: I believe taught only by Abdou, who is a world expert in nuclear engineering. Not always offered, I heard it’s not bad.
136: Another Mills course. No new “heat transfer theory”, just applications of what you have learned + MATLAB. Project involved + report. Recommended.
CM140: Biomechanics, I only know of friends who have taken it. Interesting but difficult homeworks from what I hear.
150A: Useful course for more complete understanding of fluid mechanics, makes 103 feel very waterdowned. Math intensive. Recommended with Eldredge.
157A: You’ll have a group project where you build something in 10 weeks.
182B: Useful if you are pursuing grad school. Whole class is about solving PDEs of various forms with many different techniques. Math intensive, nothing numerical. Numerical methods will be 182C. Just as useful as 182A.</p>
<p>Anyone know if the ethics classes 183W and 185W are offered every quarter? I’m not sure I can take it this quarter and I’m hoping to graduate spring so I’d need to take it then.</p>
<p>Also, anyone know if its necessary to take CS 174B before taking 174C? I need a CS elective and it seems like the easiest and best fitting one would be 174C but I’ve only taken 174A.</p>
<p>Hi all I was wondering if ppl can rank the difficulty from 1 to 10 (10 hardest) for the following EE classes:</p>
<p>ee110L
ee115A
ee121B
ee141</p>
<p>ee115al
ee132a
ee161
ee115b</p>
<p>Also can someone please rank all the EE pathways in terms of difficulty/how doable in general?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>133A- I believe the material will be helpful if you decide to take a future in HVAC analysis and design.</p>
<p>133AL- Easy course with Catton who usually teaches it, but might be semi useless depending on your career goal.</p>
<p>135- You’ll hear mixed opinions about this class with Abdou. He’s the expert in nuclear engineering, but don’t bother asking questions related to nukes, because he won’t answer it =). He might even be out of town for half the quarter and few of us agreed that his substitutes taught better. Flip a coin on this one.</p>
<p>136- Either people are getting interested in alternative NRG or they just want the easy grade for this class. This class was packed last year and I believe the rumor (which was true) is that mills literally gave everyone A’s the first time he taught 136.</p>
<p>CM140- Most likely Prof Gupta. If it’s anything like his grad classes, then you won’t learn crap. However, for some reason you’ll walk away with a ridiculously good grade. Seriously… the medical device industry has been getting popular and the jobs are there. This would be a good class to put on your resume for a medical device company.</p>
<p>M168- The ME and CE&E dept switch off in the spring and fall to teach 168. ME in the spring and CE in the fall. Both departments will use different finite element programs, such as ABAQUS (ME) and ANSYS (CE&E). I’ve found that Abqaus is literally useless in the industry and used just for educational research. Therefore, you may want to think it over on when to take this class.</p>
<p>171b-Depending on your career goal, digital controls experience might be good to have.</p>
<p>181A, 182B- If you’re going for a pHD or math heavy MS thesis, then you’ll most likely need to have experience in complex analysis or PDE’s. If not, then don’t waste your time with it. Note that 182c material does have it’s uses outside of school.</p>
<p>166C- I really feel that this course is more suited for graduate students than undergrad. In my opinion the grad course in composites is more useful than this.</p>
<p>150C- Combustion. Don’t take any class with smith.</p>
<p>Hope what i typed above helps.</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Does anyone know if there are any schools in Socal that offer a CS32 equivalent during the summer? Thanks.</p>
<p>Hello all I’m a biochemistry major and I was wondering how hard it is to transfer to aerospace engineering. I’m having a bit of difficulty with Math 32A with Mess right now and was wondering what grades I should aim for =/</p>
