<p>Can someone explain the TBR requirement to me? I’m CS&E so does that mean I can take EE for TBR?</p>
<p>Yes, you can take EE classes for your tech breadth.</p>
<p>Is it possible to take CS 31 without being in the School of Engineering?</p>
<p>^ Yes. See my post here:

<p>I don’t think anyone saw my post at the end of the page so I hope no one minds if I repost it.</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>
<p>Anyone know the expected work load for CS 130? What is it like compared to CS 32/33. Eggert’s teaching next quarter.</p>
<p>Is this schedule too hard?</p>
<p>CS M51A
CS 131
EE 2
GE</p>
<p>should I drop the GE?</p>
<p>Hey guys! I’m a mechanical engineering major (first year), and I was just wondering what matlab was exactly. I know it’s a programming language, but when exactly will I be doing with it as a mechanical engineer, and when do I start taking classes with it? </p>
<p>If I were looking at getting a leg up on programming for mechanical engineering, would you guys recommend I start learning C++ or matlab?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You’ll probably start using it when you start upper division classes. If you look at the ME curriculum, you will be required to take C++. I never used C++ in any of my ME courses, but I’ve found it somewhat useful in the industry.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t worry too much about getting a head start on learning matlab. Since they no longer off the matlab class, most of the prof and TA’s will have to walk you through it. I was able to get pretty good at matlab, because I took many electives that used it.</p>
<p>Also it really depends if the professor will incorporate it into the class. I’ve met graduating seniors that were completely clueless on matlab. Also I took a few undergrad courses while i was in grad school and noticed many undergrads were clueless as well.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think MATLAB is easier to learn than C++. Zero is right, since there is no longer MAE 20 offered, the professor or TA should walk you through how to use it. But don’t bet on every professor/TA to do it thoroughly… in fact, for some of the undergrad courses I’ve taken, I’ve been assigned MATLAB projects and just been told to use the ‘help’ handle for finding out what to do. Fortunately it is not too difficult to learn and there are many resources online. Some people can get good at it, but it will take some experience. </p>
<p>Recently I have taken an undergrad course and about 1/3 of the students (~junior/senior) don’t even know how to plot something in MATLAB. I really think there should be 1-2 quarters of freshmen MATLAB courses required in the curriculum.</p>
<p>Hello People,</p>
<p>In the sample catalog for EE, the spring quarter is:</p>
<p>ee2
ee10
ee102
ee103</p>
<p>i’m thinking of doing </p>
<p>ee2
ee10
eem16 / csm51a
ee103</p>
<p>Can you guys tell me if you think this is too hard or just right and maybe some tips to do well? Also can you guys tell me the difficulty/time consumption of each class in your own opinion or in the overall opinion. Thanks a lot :).</p>
<p>next qtr im taking</p>
<p>ee115a with Xu
ee121b with Chui
ee141 with ROYCHOWDHURY
and ee110L with Mesghali</p>
<p>Can ppl tell me how hard are these classes with these professors, and whether or not I will need to textbook for these classes w/ those professors teaching(except 110L since i’ll definitely need to reader)</p>
<p>110L with mesghali is really easy, 115a with Xu is probably as easy as 115a will get since the other professor teaching it is abidi. the rest i don’t know</p>
<p>Hey guys,
I just finished CS111 this quarter and want to sell my CS111 textbook along with the pdf printouts. It’s an international edition, so I’m not sure where to begin… is anybody here interested in buying it? Should I try Facebook marketplace?</p>
<p>Before I began CS111, I looked up all the posts about the course here and I can now confirm that the work load was truly heavy throughout the entire quarter. One thing that really frustrated me was not knowing how to debug my stuff, cuz I wasn’t familiar with kernel programming. The TA, Keith, was awesome though. Anyways, I put so much time into that class, that I did fine there but ended up nearly failing ee10. True, it was taught by Abidi, but I’m still terribly embarrassed that I did pretty bad in the very first circuit class :(…</p>
<p>I’m a freshman bioengineer and I just found out I got a C+ in Chem 20A with Baugh for Fall Quarter.</p>
<p>I usually wouldn’t be too upset with a C+ if it were in a GE or something but now I’m getting worried. If I got a C+ in a lower division major class AND I have to take more Chem classes than anything else as a bioengineer than this seems like a pretty bad omen.</p>
<p>Am I overreacting or would it make sense to consider a change into a different discipline of engineering (one not heavily reliant on chemistry) or maybe into the College of Letters and Sciences.</p>
<p>Baugh is meant to be the most difficult professor teaching that class. Think about how you can study more efficiently, and maybe put a little more time in if necessary. You should do better next quarter. If you feel like you’re struggling in 20B, than maybe you should be more worried… until then…</p>
<p>Thanks, but I’m not taking 20B next quarter. The only professor available when I signed up was Neuhauser (for some reason, URSA screwed up and wouldn’t let me sign up for Chem on first pass) and he’s apparently even worse than Baugh. I decided to get a GE out of the way so I could get Chem with a decent professor in Spring Quarter (even if it means that I have to get a bad professor in Math or Physics because I feel more comfortable in those subjects).</p>
<p>So for Spring quarter, I’ll be in Chem 20B, Chem 20L, Physics 1B, and Math 32B</p>
<p>Hey Flopsy, I’m applying to UCB, UCSC, UCD, and of course UCLA for computer engineering. I don’t know if I can get into Berkeley, but aside from that, I really like Santa Cruz. It has a 5 year B.S./M.S. and has great interships because of the proximity to Silicon Valley. Regardless, my question is, why should I go to UCLA? What makes UCLA engineering special? Thank you in advance.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Of those classes - CS131 with Eggert will most likely be the most challenging/time-consuming. The answer to your question will have to depend mainly on how easy the GE is and how confident you are on your programming skills (since this is a heavily project-based course).</p>
<p>If the GE is supposed to be easy…then I’d say stick with it now and see how you feel about the other 3 classes. You can always drop the GE later once you have a better idea of how challenging and time consuming the rest of your load is.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>EE121B with Professor Chui will be tough but definitely not that bad if you’re willing to put effort in (but I guess that should be true for most eng classes eh :)). [BruinWalk</a> | Professors | Chi Chui On](<a href=“http://www.bruinwalk.com/professors/el-engr/chui-chi-on/]BruinWalk”>http://www.bruinwalk.com/professors/el-engr/chui-chi-on/)
I would say that review is pretty spot on. </p>
<p>The only thing I would say is that the book wasn’t TOO helpful - what you really want to invest in is the EE2 course reader by Viswanathan. I cannot STRESS this enough. If you have it - awesome! If not - GO GET IT. It’s a fantastic refresher of EE2 which is definitely crucial if you want to do well in his class. The very beginning of the course will be focused on reviewing the stuff from EE2 so you don’t want to be clueless.</p>
<p>Agreed with imrightuarewrong regarding EE110L and EE115A. The only thing I can add about EE110L is…don’t bother devoting hours and hours to the lab reports like you might be tempted to (or not). From what I saw…the entire class almost always got full credit (with a difference of just a couple points between the top score and lowest). The 3 quizzes you take throughout the quarter is really what’s going to determine your ranking, and hence final grade in the class. Usually the people ranked 1-4 at the end of the quarter will be getting the As.</p>
<p>I used my book a lot when I took EE115A - I liked the easy-to-read format and explanations, but to be honest, there weren’t enough examples and there were errors from time to time in the few examples that were presented. Get a feel for your prof’s teaching style and see if you might want to invest in a supplement book on circuits (or hit up prof/ta office hours).</p>
