<p>Anyone with experience, please put your thoughts into this. I checked the curriculum at Rutgers and messed around with the classes, and it would seem that, with the AP credits and overlapping classes, I would average about 16 credits a semester, maybe 1 semester with 18. I know ECE is already difficult, but is this overkill? Any experience, tips, study suggestions would be great.</p>
<p>My personal opinion is that a double major would be kind of dumb, but a CS minor may make sense. I’m assuming you got into the engineering school otherwise this would be probably impossible to do. I don’t think a double major makes sense because of the SAS core requirements and stuff like that you would have to fulfill which can become annoying. And you’d probably be better off if you have to many AP credits, to try to graduate early if possible.
At any rate you should look at this: <a href=“http://www.ece.rutgers.edu/files/pdf/Minoring-in-CS.pdf”>http://www.ece.rutgers.edu/files/pdf/Minoring-in-CS.pdf</a></p>
<p>Do NOT take the Computer Engineering courses to fill out your Program Methodology requirements and do the CS 111 & 112 instead. The reason for this is because the ECE/CE computer classes are really crammed classes in terms of material. I took PM1 over the summer and even then, it was ridiculous. Even then we did I think up to what CS majors do in 4 semester’s worth.</p>
<p>On top of that 111 & 112 are generally taught better because of the two professors, Tjang and Sesh who run them. These classes are constantly packed and always have rave reviews from what I hear. I’ve only heard that the ECE/CE professors get a bit worse after some semesters in because of the fact they rather do research than teach.</p>
<p>Also I think if you just do the CS route you can easily get a minor so it’s always your choicee.</p>
