<p>Can I do the CS minor with E7 ( I have already taken E7) instead of CS 61A. I know it lists CS 61A on the cs minor page for berkeley, but is this possible?</p>
<p>Unlikely. The two don’t actually have much overlap in curriculum.</p>
<p>Yes, it is possible. The CS people accept E7 as fully equivalent to CS61A, even for upper division prerequisites. You may have to learn a few odd Scheme-specific terms that your peers will be using when you take CS61B, but past that it shouldn’t be an issue.</p>
<p>For what its worth, E7 is a pretty solid class programming-wise if you take it with Mechanical Engineer teachers. The Civil E guys end up structuring the class much more towards solving problems with large data sets while the Mech E guys definitely do more programming concepts (recursion, working with integers, primes, neat programming games) and data structures (binary trees etc).</p>
