<p>None of us are first years. And Mech is well, a Mech, and I chose EE to get the heck away from CS (even though they keep dragging me back into it against my will). Dean J’s right (as usual), call the dept or email them.</p>
<p>Edit: one thought is that they may not offer 101E in the fall. Come to think of it, they don’t. Most first years take it in the Spring, so I think there’s usually only one section, at most two, of 101 in the fall. That’s probably why it isn’t showing up. I had a friend take 101 in the Fall his second year (long story) and he said it was full of students who really understood Java and it was a solid class. So, you’d be basically taking 101e anyways.</p>
