<p>
</p>
<p>1) don’t know
2) grade does not transfer from non-UC campuses
3) i haven’t taken those classes, but, like the course description says, i would think EE1 involves engineering applications. for example, taking a physics course on mechanics is different from taking an engineering course on dynamics, or something like that.</p>
<p>is bioengineering that much more difficult than biochemistry?</p>
<p>also, is there a special track for premeds in bioengineering?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>EE 1 goes more in-depth with Maxwell’s equations, but Physics 1C covers optics and special relativity. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Hi Flopsy,
Appreciate your feedback. </p>
<p>In your opinion, is there any advantage of graduating from a higher rank program like UCB vs. UCLA or UCSD for my daughter’s goal of getting into imagineering? My impressions are that close proximity to Burbank or Anaheim for internship purposes would be an advantage versus a distant place like Berkeley. It seems like my research seems to find little recruiting efforts by Disney to recruit from Cal but alot from San Diego. Any thoughts on this?</p>
<p>Disney Imagineering recruits at UCLA as well. My son was contacted by them last year.</p>
<p>
UCLA does get recruitment for Disney Imagineering; just like UCLA Band Mom’s son, I have received several job postings from them. Proximity definitely plays a role, but so does reputation, which UCLA leads in with regards to the entertainment industry as a whole. UCSD (and UCI) simply has the proximity factor going for it. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>How about compared to USC? Another school we’re considering. Can you explain how UCLA is looked upon as the leader, meaning an engineer would be considered first over USC or UCSD or UCB?</p>
<p>aveng: School prestige only goes so far, the body of work which your D does here and how well she performs will help her much more. How good she truly is at what she does is going to be the deciding factor on who Disney or any other company will hire.</p>
<p>I’ve been told that engineering students, by the time they are seniors and before they graduate, they’re already looking at a couple of employment offers. Is this common? I know there are other majors that you basically need a post graduate degree to even start looking for a job, so how is engineering in that regard?</p>
<p>thefrencharmy: No…Im a senior and none of my friends or me have any full time employment offers yet…</p>
<p>flopsy can u tell me a bit about bioeng at UCLA. how difficult is it, how good is it?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Are you a graduating senior?</p>
<p>Man, I really want to work for Qualcomm. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Could someone comment on the relative difficulties and differences between CS and CSE at UCLA? Thanks in advance :)</p>
<p>thefrencharmy:</p>
<p>My UCSD daughter is a CS major and is about to graduate. She already has a couple of job offers she needs to decide between and has another probable that she already turned down. Many of her CS classmates who are graduating have also already received offers.</p>
<p>Fisico: haha no Im not graduating and none of my friends are either…two more quarters to go. maybe that’s the reason? I hope so.</p>
<p>UCLA has had the reputation of being theoretical in philosophy. Is this true? How much team or interdisciplinary development is there to prepare for the working environment as schools like Cal Poly Pomona or Cal Poly SLO are known for?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I guess that makes your reply to thefrencharmy USELESS!</p>
<p>That’s okay, you’re still my hero.</p>
<p>My eyes hurt from reading all this information. Actually I read first 14, 64-80, 114-128. Well, I don’t want to bother with same platitude questions. Anyways, since the workload for CS is intense, (1) is there time for sports, work, AND minor in Economics (accounting)? Also in order to get recruited by top-notch companies like Microsoft and Google, (2)do I need to do a lot of extracurricular activities? Which ones would you recommend, considering that I plan to have a career in Business? I know that internship is the key for a good employment. (3)So at the end of the sophomore year, which company should I pursue for internship? Tell me the ones that will be productive for my career and lucrative in terms of money. I speak Korean fluently, but I started to learn Mandarin. (4) Is it worthwhile to learn another Asian language as a programmer/businessman? (5) What are some weeder classes that I could take in ANOTHER college/university. (e.g. CS33, 130, 111, 132), and where ? I have enough credits from AP and Community colleges to almost skip my freshman year. (6) should I try to cramp my schedule to graduate in 3 years? If I have extra time, how should I spend it? (e.g. research) (7) Is community college education comparable to that of UC? Do transfer students struggle at UCLA because of the quality in education?</p>
<p>I am unable to attend the Open House. Am I missing out a lot of information? I am trying to compensate it by reading… well, I spent about 30 hours on college confidential for last two weeks.</p>
<p>I hope my questions don’t annoy you. Do you get anything out of helping other people? I hope all your kindness do you some good too.</p>
<p>Hey there Flopsy, I’m an international student and have been accepted for UCLA’s EE major, and I’ve got 2 questions for you:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>This is regarding aid, I was wondering how much aid (in the form of scholarships, etc) can a student expect per year. I know that UCLA does not give aid to internationals in their first year but could you just explain how much aid can one realistically expect in the following years? And just how competitive is it to get a scholarship?
And what about on campus jobs? How much do you think someone can realistically expect to be able to contribute to the fees while at UCLA. I would really appreciate any information in this regard.</p></li>
<li><p>How difficult is it to change majors within Engineering. I realize it is highly competitive but the most information I have been able to find on their website is that it is possible to change only after I enroll and even then there are no guarantees … just how true is this? Could you just outline the process for me, because I would really want to be sure about my major before I enroll.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I realize some of these questions may have been answered before but I’ts impossible to read through 128 pages so if that is the case could someone link me to the right post.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p><a href=“1”>quote=morepractice</a> is there time for sports, work, AND minor in Economics (accounting)?
[/quote]
</p>
<p>Yes, of course! Just manage your time wisely and you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Microsoft and Google are very competitive. Flopsy will answer that. There was a thread on [Google</a> at UCLA](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-los-angeles/487996-internships-google-ucla-engineering-studen]Google”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-los-angeles/487996-internships-google-ucla-engineering-studen), read it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’ll be tough with research, ECs, minor, work, etc, even with all that credit. Maybe I’m wrong?</p>
<p><a href=“7”>quote=morepractice</a> Is community college education comparable to that of UC?
[/quote]
</p>
<p>No, community college education is not comparable to a UC. I would say that the amount of work required to earn an ‘A’ at a CC is much less than at a UC. At a CC you are graded on your own performance on a set scale (eg. 100-90% A, 89-70% B, etc.). At UCLA (most South Campus) you are graded on a curve, and you compete with your classmates (eg. top ~10% get A+/A/A-). Everyone is just as smart as you.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Most do not. However, it really depends on the student, and how motivated he/she is. Sometimes they lack some knowledge (math, science, etc.), but they are able to learn what is needed farily quickly. Most do very well. Maybe it’s because they are more mature?</p>
