<p>Hi, so I’m thinking about taking the EIT/FE, and was wondering if anyone knew any good review books for the morning session and for Electrical discipline for the afternoon session. I went onto amazon and searched but all the electrical review books had terrible reviews. Thank you.</p>
<p>Hello,how difficult is it to switch into HSSEAS Chem E as a freshman admitted to L&S as an MIMG major? I’m already planning to take math 31B, Chem 20A and a Writing II class or GE in the fall and I know I can apply after winter quarter. What are the GPAs of people you know were approved? How likely is it I’ll be allowed to switch if I meet the requirements? Thanks.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Concepts in MAE 101 are simple and only require a simple calculus background. That courseload is reasonable.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>For the morning session, purchase the Lindeburg FE Review manual. If you review the manual front to back, you are guaranteed to pass. I would also recommend the same publisher for review problems on the electrical discipline.</p>
<p>I wish somebody can give me some advice on MAE155(with prof Kinsey,r.j), MAE107(w/Sepulveda,A.E),MAE162A(unknown). </p>
<p>I believe 107 is among the toughest classes for MAE. Especially, I am VERY very poor with computer programming, I am most afraid of 107. I am taking the matlab workshop soon,but I don’t think I can learn a whole lot just from a few days of training. Dose 107 emphasize heavily on computer aided problem solving? I took Sepulveda for 182A and thought he was a decent professor, but never knew he actually teaches 107. </p>
<p>MAE155 is another tough class. Not a whole lot students take this class, so I don’t know what to expect. </p>
<p>I heard MAE162A is not too hard but it is time consuming? Dose this class require computer programming as well?</p>
<p>Any tips on how to survive these classes would be very helpful! I am already stressed out. Please share some of your thoughts and experiences. THANK YOU!</p>
<p>anybody can help? thanks!!!</p>
<p>How’s Gupta for MAE 101? I’m in his class right now and his lectures are frankly pretty dry (and I’m not all that fond of his use of potatoes).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You will use programming for 107L, but it is very basic. MATLAB is something you teach yourself through experience with projects and homework. If you took CS 31 already, that is a sufficient background.</p>
<p>162A requires minimal programming. The content depends on who teaches the course, but I think UCLA’s teaching from the Shigley book is minimal compared to other schools. I know schools from the Midwest used it extensively, but I don’t even recall much about the book or course. When I took 162A, there was one project that required programming. The task was to write a program that maximizes the throw distance of a complex linked catapult under certain constraints.</p>
<p>
Dry lectures is normal if you go to UCLA. They slam you with theory and the ME curriculum doesn’t have enough hands on work.</p>
<p>Let’s just say that Eldredge’s MAE 103 midterm just butt****ed a good part of the class, myself included. Questions were quite challenging, and not a single person turned it in early. That said, can’t really complain much since these classes aren’t meant to be some walk in the park.</p>
<p>Can anyone define for me what the difference between, say, SLO’s “hands on learning” and UCLA’s “research oriented” approach would be? I’m really confused as to what the difference is and if there’s a difference in quality between the two…</p>
<p>
That’s how exams are supposed to be…challenging :rolleyes: Those types of tests produce a wide distribution :)</p>
<p>Eldredge has a pattern of giving 1 easy midterm, 1 difficult midterm, and 1 difficult final.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>At least when I took Mechanical Engineering courses at UCLA, the curriculum’s focus was on theory. You take 2 courses (one beginner, one advanced) in the major areas of the field (solid mechanics, heat transfer, manufacturing), whereas at semester-based schools, only one course is required in these areas.</p>
<p>It sort of works out because UCLA is on the quarter system. So UCLA students have longer exposure to these classes which are rigorous in theory.</p>
<p>This is useful training for anyone intending to go into academia or R&D after graduation. If that’s not interesting, then going to a “hands on” school is the better choice. There are more classes on design and building, rather than analysis (which UCLA is good at training students at)</p>
<p>Really? At least for AE, there seems to be quite a few design-focused courses available.</p>
<p>Could anyone confirm if as a transfer if you can switch majors within HSSEAS, including switching into an impacted major? Thank you</p>
<p>Hi all, just a heads up that I renamed this thread in order to reflect the fact that it’s grown into a general engineering thread. Have fun!</p>
<p>
:rolleyes:</p>
<p>Anyone had experience with Professor Karagozian for 150A? She looks formidable…</p>
<p>Dear Flopsy,</p>
<p>I love what you are doing with this thread!</p>

<p>Hi everybody!!! I’m a senior in highschool and im having a lot of conflict within myself. I know I’m interested in engineering, however I don’t kow whether or not I should major in it because I’d like to be a doctor some day. Medical School admissions are tough and I want to earn excellent grades while in college. I’m most likely going to attend community college first and then transfer to a four year university. My question is the following: How difficult is it to earn A’s if you are studying electrical engineering on the computer engineering track?</p>
