<p>I kept my books because I passed the EIT and getting my PE aka professional engineering license (need books to review). Interestingly enough, my boss' boss has a PE in chemical and civil. I plan to take my PE in 2 years in chemical then apply back to graduate school.</p>

<p>i dunno about engineering majors, but im an econ major and accounting minor and i keep all my major/minor textbooks...for future reference, etc.</p>
<p>TB54:</p>
<p>How was ChENGR 109?</p>
<p>I'm curious about how the course was conducted. I know we use MATLAB, however is it supplied to us or do we buy our own version?</p>
<p>Any details/suggestions on this course would be great.</p>

hi, im a incoming freshman with chemE major
i didn't go to the orientation yet, but will on 27th
i'm really willing to try to graduate in 3 years, but i don't know anything about
required credits and GE credits..
can you give me some guide about taking classes to graduate in 3 years?</p>
<p>jst for the information, my ap scores are
Biology 3
Chemistry 4
Math: Calculus AB 5
Physics C - Mechanics 3
Statistics 3</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>I don't think it's possible for engineers to graduate in 3 years. Many stay longer than 4.</p>
<p>You will get Matlab installed in your SEAS account when you register. Matlab, Femlab and UNISIM are class programs, you only need them when you take the class.</p>
<p>Is it possible to graduate in 3 years? Yes. A girl from the 09 class graduated in 08. Do you want to do it? No. You'll lose your sanity and your GPA. (An 08 whose going to MIT for graduate school said she would never want to do it). </p>
<p>I recommend doing at least 4 and if you wish 5 years, really take the time to enjoy college. College is suppose to be the best time of your years.
(Note: I'm suffering from a quarter-life crisis, so you may take my advice with a grain of salt)</p>

<p>It is possible to graduate in 4. Some people have financial concern, so they want to save as much money as possible.</p>
<p>You just have to take summer school for at least 2 summers, and take around 5 classes per quarter starting the middle of 2nd year. EEs can get out in 3+1 quarter with 4 per quarter, and some 5. MAEs can do that too only if the design class (162B, 162M) were only offered Spring-Fall.</p>
<p>But I guess if you're not in a rush, then take the 4 years. In my opinion, anyone who takes over 4+1quarter without a good reason is</p>
<p>BoelterHall, when you say EEs "get out," does that mean they can graduate two quarters early? Isn't commencement only at the end of spring term though?</p>
<p>I guess you can consider yourself "graduated" once you successfully completed your curriculum and all requirements set forth by the HSSEAS guidelines. Walking can be done at the end of the year.</p>
<p>Some people have plans to go in the industry for the remaining quarters (if they land the job) and come back to walk in June.</p>
<p>During commencement, the documents will indicate which quarter you finished your curriculum.</p>
<p>Referring back to the EEs getting out early (or anyone getting out early), they are mostly successful, serious, and geniune students. Most are TBP material. You might think it's a ridiculous idea, but given the amount of discipline and aptitude, I think some can do it.</p>
<p>I don't see any point really in graduating 3 for ChemE. From what I've heard, there is another girl 3 years ago who did the same. She ended up with a horrible GPA and no research, kind of a post-graduate limbo. She couldn't get a job nor do research, thus stuck. As for the girl who graduated in 3 years, she was a special case.</p>
<p>My opinion: Take the 4th year. You can take an additional paid internship to pay for expenses and internships are also a bridge to land the full-time position if money is your concern. You really don't understand what your major entails until you hit the upper division classes, then you learn the bread and butter of your major. (To only spend 1 year learning the "bread and butter" isn't fun)</p>
<p>Curriculum Side note:
The curriculum for ChemE is ordered, we're not as branched as EE. So classes are usually offered only once a year. You'll be taking your senior design with mass transfer which will makes no sense since the senior design is built up on fluid/heat/mass transfer concepts. </p>
<p>TBP:
There are the true TBP that are gifted and tend to be AP Scholars with distinction / Valedictorians and what not in high school. They also have a genuine interest in it. Then there are the TBP who aren't really gifted, and ahem, have numerous past test, solutions and hook ups and hoard them. There is a stronger presence of EE/CS/EECS in TBP than ChemE/MSE from what I could tell.</p>

<p>this question might not suite this thread but
what do you say about transferring from ucla to other schools, i guess to schools in east coast? like ivys and what not, where there are alot of big investment banking companies?</p>
<p>and can you help me with makin a schedule for freshman year for chem engineering? i looked at the site
Chemical</a> Engineering Curriculum
but it kinda confuses me.
im actually goin to the orientation tomorrow, but i wanted to know some basic information about making a schedule.
what classes do you recommend for a freshman year?
it looks complicated compared to highschool
i have ap scores of </p>
<p>Biology 3
Chemistry 4
Math: Calculus AB 5
Physics C - Mechanics 3
Statistics 3</p>
<p>if that helps at all</p>
<p>thank you so much</p>
<p>nvm, i think i got it =)</p>
<p>How many people go straight into MBA programs. And how much does it help having an MBA?</p>
<p>Also it list Senkan as teaching 101A, anyone know how good he is?</p>
<p>im also curious about senkan. im going to take his 101A. not much info about him in bruinwalk.</p>
<p>btw, how do u rate the chem lab classes? (114A/B)</p>
<p>MBA:
MBA is based on your work experience and GMAT. It's fairly hard to get into a decent MBA program with 0 years of work experience. I know a girl who went to UCSC and then went to SJSU for MBA. Thing is, why do you want a MBA with 0 years of work experience? It's like having a PhD with no research papers published, not really practical.</p>
<p>Schedule:
Schedule is messed up because Lu is a new professor and teaching 106 (pretty crazy professor, came from New Orleans after LA Tech didn't want to rebuild I think? He showed up to Undie Run and did it, drank with a few others and called another professor weaksauce).</p>
<p>Senkan isn't mean but he wants you to learn. Is he good at 101? I personally don't think he'll be great, but he'll be ok-good because he's been teaching 103/106 for years (103 relies on 101a/b/c) and that was his forte. His test in 103 were not hard but the material was hard. </p>
<p>Lab:
Think you mean 104A/104B. There is 104C/104D too. Think a lot of people couldn't stand Drake and tried to get into 104D/104C and those who couldn't got stuck with him. He wasn't really nice to a few of us in 104B last year, average grade was C, majority were C+ or C-, c'est la vie.</p>
<p>Drake = 104A/104B
Tang/Segura = 104D
Chang = 104C</p>

The prophecies have been fulfilled. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>so im thinking about getting a new computer soon. are there any special features/programs that are needed/beneficial for a chemical engineer?</p>
<p>thx for ur reply.
need another ans + explanation from u if u will =D
what are chem e electives and TBR? (i know i searched in the hsseas website but didnt have any clear explanation for me)</p>
<p>Hey TB54,
I am a junior this year and really want to get a good internship this summer but need to build my resume up a bit more to do so. To accomplish this goal, i am trying to get involved in undergraduate research through the ChemE Department and through the Chemistry Department. Did you have any experiences or knowledge that would help me out? </p>
