<p>It might, but you should be able to petition/get in off the waitlist for most of them. You may not get the instructor you want, but you will probably get into the class eventually (if not at registration time).</p>
<p>UCLA or UCSD in structural engineering ?</p>
<p>Do the EE and CS Departments release their full year’s schedule?</p>
<p>Hi, so I’m going to be a sophomore next year… and I have no idea what to take -_-… other than Math 33A…
I’ve taken, CS31,32, English comp, physics 1A, and I’ll be taking 1B and 4al during the summer before sophomore year starts. I’ve looked at the 4 year plans for both straight EE and EECE, but I have yet to decide what I’d want to do, since computer science has been pretty difficult for me, i feel inclined to do EECE because gaining experience in cs will make my life easier in the long run if I want a job(or so i hear). </p>
<p>So yeah, any constructive advice is well appreciated ;]. Thanks!</p>
<p>Math-Comp major here. Wondering what classes people recommend? So far 111,131,143,161,180 all look pretty interesting.</p>
<p>
What do you want to do after you graduate? If you don’t want to do software, I think it’s a little silly to “settle” for a low-level software position. If you enjoy CS and software engineering, then it’s worth taking the upper division classes, but otherwise, you’re competing against people who want to be there and likely did well in CS 31-33.</p>
<p>
Depends on if you want to learn more about systems or theory. 111, 143, 131, 161, 180 is probably the systems-to-theory spectrum. I’ve always been a systems person, so 111 and 143 were two of my favorite classes (though 180 was my first upper division class and I enjoyed it).</p>
<p>111 is really unique in the sense that you pretty much learn what you need to build any kind of systems software; the amount of material covered is really staggering. So if you’re looking for a rewarding challenge, 111 is a good one.</p>
<p>143 pretty much tells you what you need to know to build and use database systems. It has some overlap with 111 (though not much), and contains a few topics that are good to know in general if you’re into software development (especially mobile and web development).</p>
<p>131 teaches you about different types of programming languages, as well as their strengths and weaknesses. It gives you some experience thinking in ways that you might not have if you stuck to traditional languages. It’ll show you where map/reduce came from.</p>
<p>I never took 161, but my understanding is that it gives a strong theoretical basis for how AI works, and some experience with Lisp to see some of it in action. It might be a worthwhile class to take, considering how machine learning is starting to become more and more popular given the massive datasets people are generating.</p>
<p>180 teaches a lot of useful things. I think the most important skill it gives you is being able to reason about how fast you can make your tasks and techniques to solve many classes of software problems. This is a class that can give you an advantage over self-taught programmers if you can apply what you’ve learned.</p>
<p>Hello everybody. I was recently accepted to UCLA as a Biology major but I plan on switching into Bioengineering. With this in mind, can anyone predict what my freshman courseload would look like? I know that I need to take Phsyics/Chem/Math to be eligible for the change of major. So would that make my 4th class Biology by default?</p>
<p>Also, is this schedule too rigorous and impossible to maintain the required 3.5? And finally, if I do maintain the 3.5 am I guaranteed entrance? Or will it still be difficult?</p>
<p>Thank you in advance for taking the time to help :)</p>
<p>If you want to switch in to BE, I’d take the following:</p>
<p>Fall
Math 31A
Chem 20A
Eng Comp 3/GE</p>
<p>Winter
Math 31B
Chem 20B
Chem 20L
GE</p>
<p>The 3.5 GPA does not guarantee that you’ll be admitted to the major, but it does mean that you are eligible. If there are a ton of other students applying for a change of major to BE and they have 3.8s and you have a 3.5, then you might not get in.</p>
<p>How different is EEM16 and CSM51A? I’ve decided so far on Math 33A, EE1, either EEm16 or CSm51A, and going to try to get CS33, to see if i like it or not within the first few weeks and if i can handle the course load. The professor for EEm16 is Cabric and professor for CSm51A is POTKONJAK, I’m not really sure how to make of the reviews on bruinwalk. Neither professor gets a high rating, but POTKONJAK seems to have this personality that some people find insulting? Also, Taking csM51A would clash their final and EE1’s final… with 30 minutes apart.</p>
<p>My first pass is extremely late this time, so I was also wondering which of the EE classes should I try to get in my first pass? I’m pretty sure I want to get Math33A first, so that leaves one other EE class? How fast does EE1 fill up compared to the other 2? Also, for CS33, if I do try to take it but couldn’t get a spot in the first and second pass, is it easy to get added into like for Smallberg’s CS31 and 32?</p>
<p>Thank you ;]</p>
<p>Is it possible to get into CS 35L and CS 33 on second pass? Only EE’s and CS majors allowed first pass grr.</p>
<p>Here’s my upcoming fall schedule
CS 33
EE M116L
EE 10
CS 35L</p>
<p>Im wondering is it really doable or not? Thanks a lot guys!</p>
<p>I have heard that it may be difficult for transfers to stay longer than two years for their undergraduate degree.</p>
<p>I am looking at possibly 1 or 2 quarters past two years to finish my double major from my class scheduling. Would this be acceptable at UCLA?</p>
<p>hello, </p>
<p>Just a quick question: do you think is wise to take Physics1A, CS 31, and Math 33A as an incoming freshman? </p>
<p>If not, what would be the best schedule for a smooth transition? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>do you think is wise to take Physics1A, CS 31, and Math 33A as an incoming freshman?
I’ve taken Physics 1A and Math 33A in separate quarters, and they’re kinda tough. If CS 31 is one of those classes that have the projects that take a long time, then taking all three together as an incoming freshman can be very difficult.</p>
<p>A possibility is to switch one out for a less tough class or a GE class, but it’s manageable. If you can snatch those classes as a freshman, then I’d say keep them, especially if you want to fulfill all your pre-reqs quickly, but be prepared.</p>
<p>CS 31 is probably going to be rather time consuming no matter your background. Math 33A isn’t that bad. But Physics 1A is one of those classes that will probably depend a lot on how much Physics you learned in high school. If you have a good background, it shouldn’t be that bad to add 1A to the other two classes. If not, I would suggest replacing it with a GE and taking it in the winter.</p>
<p>Hey, I’m a freshman CSE major, and I wanted to know which AP credits are worth taking. Like which of those courses are worth taking instead of just using AP credit(I have 5’s in english, calc bc, both physics c, macro and micro econ).</p>
<p>Also, which are the easiest GE classes?</p>
<p>English - You can choose to apply credit to english comp 3, but that class is easy depending on which professor you get. Generally, it is a pretty easy class, and can be a GPA booster.
Calc BC - You can choose to apply credit to math31a, which is introduction to calculus, but again, it’s an easy class and can boost your GPA up if you do take it.
Physics C - You can get general physics units added to your total unit count, but you’ll still need to take all of the required physics courses (physics 1 series).
Econ - You don’t need to take any econ classes as engineers. The AP credit for this only counts for units.</p>
<p>Thanks, Trekforever :)</p>
<p>I asked about econ cause I’m thinking of taking a double major, but I doubt its possible in 4 years and staying on for another is too expensive. Has anyone here managed to do a double major from HSSEAS?</p>
<p>If you have a 4 or 5 on either English AP exam, you have to skip English Comp 3. You CANNOT take it again. If you do, you won’t get credit for the course, since it would be considered a duplication of credit.</p>
<p>
Skip as many classes as you can. Taking classes for which you have AP credit is a waste of time and money, and skipping gives you a lot more scheduling flexibility.</p>
