<p>Can we take CS118 without CS111 ?(111 is cancelled next Fall anw, so my plan is messed up a little bit). Some of my friends said that there’s not much connection between these 2 and CS118 is not hard at all. But CS111 is one of the prequisite, so I’m not sure if I can bypass the system and enroll for it</p>
<p>
Yes you can. The overlap is virtually nonexistent and URSA never enforces prerequisites for CS classes.</p>
<p>I noticed that CS 111 is a requirement for CS 136? How necessary would you consider it? Also right now the professor is just listed as “The Staff”. Who normally teaches this course?</p>
<p>For the question posted about 111 requirement for 118 I would say it’s not necessary at all. I took 118 without taking 111 and got a solid A. I think the only reason it might be listed is because they want a little more experience in programming before taking 118, because the last project was very hard IMO. I don’t think it required any knowledge of OS (or if it did Zhang must have reviewed that part for us). Go ahead and take it, it was one of the most interesting classes I’ve taken so far.</p>
<p>
You’ll get in, if not into another section. After a week, all the sections should not be full. When I took it, the first week it was full and then after the first week it was 9/16.</p>
<p>so I can get credit and move to a higher course? Thanks</p>
<p>Also not getting an internship the first 2 summers is how detrimental to the resume?
How many undergraduate eng students opt for the online(year) masters in engineering program at UCLA after graduation?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>From what I know, it is very difficult to obtain an internship during your first summer (from the past few years). I think it is easier though for CS majors, from what I’ve heard. First summer - a lot of students take summer school, relax, or go home and find a summer job. Second summer, try to get involved in summer research or keep applying for internships. Apply to everything that you qualify for. Network with family and friends. Even taking a position remotely related to your field is good experience, and it will be something interesting to mention for next year’s interviews. Third summer is a very important one if you don’t plan to go to graduate school. I know many people who got FT hires with the company they interned for during the 3rd summer. I think if you have 3.5+ GPA you will definitely find something, if not a small company. With a 3.5, you should get a handful of interviews. Do well in them and you will have at least a couple internship offers.</p>
<p>Online masters – these are mainly for people who work FT and are interested in taking the degree. I don’t know anyone who finished online masters in a year, most are taking 3 years or slightly less (1 class per quarter). I really think it is designed for people who work FT so its impossible to work 9-6 and also take 3 class per quarter. If you’re not working FT, you should probably enroll in the courses through the regular MS program. You can finish the M.S in a year if you do not choose the project or thesis route. I think at least 60-75% of the students are getting the M.S this way now. Very few M.S students do the thesis nowadays.</p>
<p>How different is the CSE major from applied or pure mathematics? Do they both have similar opportunities, even though different schools. Or is engineering tougher?</p>
<p>Are the math teachers more regarded?</p>
<p>I’ll be Electrical Engineering this fall, and under the computer science option, so I was wondering what Chem class I can skip since i got a 4 on my Chemistry Ap exam?</p>
<p>
Math and CSE are completely different majors, have different coursework, and have different opportunities after graduation. This is something you could have easily researched on your own and it seems like you’re considering it for the wrong reasons (easiness, ranking).</p>
<p>
That will get you out of Chem 20A. Definitely skip that class. It’s easy, but it’s also the only chemistry class that EE requires (unless you’re EE with biomed option, which I don’t recommend) and a waste of time unless you’re planning to go into health sciences after graduating.</p>
<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I am going to be an EE major with the Computer Engineering option. I just wanted to know what kind of laptop is recommended. I would prefer a light, easy to carry laptop. I also prefer PCs over Macs. </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>
Some laptops you might want to take a look at are the Lenovo ThinkPad X-series, ASUS 13-inch U-series, HP 14-inch Envy, or the 13-inch Macbook Pro (running Windows via Boot Camp).</p>
<p>In terms of your major, you want a computer that can compile simple-to-moderate programs, or be able to remotely connect to a computer that can (the SEAS Linux machines are great for this). Being able to dual-boot with a Linux distribution is also useful. Since most computers can do those things, just pick the one you like the most.</p>
<p>Per S1, most engineering student, CSE included do not takes notes with the laptop. He say those symbols and term used just too hard to type out.<br>
However, GE is different stories. Where the professor talk a lot and lengthy discussion, then you cannot write fast enough.</p>
<p>how much do the textbooks (used) for CS cost freshman year?</p>
<p>
Depends on whether or not you’re the type to buy every book. If you are, then expect to spend maybe 100-150 per quarter assuming you seek out the best deals.</p>
<p>Any idea which CSE professors are retiring this year? are the replacements in place…</p>
<p>No one’s retiring. Eddie Kohler’s leaving for Harvard according to his website. He’s taught once in the last 3 years, so you probably won’t be too impacted. He is the only systems professor in the department, so if you plan to do that kind of research, for now you’re out of luck. I’m sure UCLA will look to replace him, but I don’t believe they have done so yet.</p>
<p>There are a couple others whom I’ve heard are leaving, but they haven’t said so officially, so I’ll leave out their names. They teach elective-type classes and I doubt UCLA is actively looking for replacements for them.</p>
<p>I am currently going through orientation and have been instructed to take Engr 87, Math 31B and CS31B. I received 5’s on the AP exams for Calc B/C and Computer Science. </p>
<p>I am coming from a very rigorous HS - does this sound about right for an incoming Freshman?</p>
<p>Take Math 32A (differentiation) instead, since you got a 5 on Calc BC and the material is easier is easier than 31B (integration and infinite series). And unless if you understand programming extremely well, don’t take CS 31 in the fall since you will be taking it with all of the CS majors. Not sure why you want to take Engr 87, try knocking out a GE instead or English Comp 3 if you didn’t pass out of that yet.</p>
<p>Computer science and engineering or Electrical engineering in computer science option. Whats the difference? What is your experience in either major? What do you recommend based on your experience?</p>
<p>hi. I’m a freshman this year and these are the courses I’m planning to take: EE98 (2), CS1 (1), CS31 (4), Math 31 (4) and 1 GE (5). It’s only 16 units, but 5 courses, so I don’t know if I’m overreaching…</p>
