<p>What's the difference between EE 42 & EE 100? The course descriptions are identical except that EE 100 has lab in addition to discussion (the titles are different though). I'm planning to minor in EECS and will be enrolling in either course this summer. Is there any advantage of taking EE 100 over 42? </p>
<p>And how hard is/are this/these class(es)? The only prerequisite is Math 1B...</p>
<p>EE100 = EE42+EE43. I suggest taking EE100, because grading for EE42 can be a bit wonky. However, if you’re minoring in EECS, you should take EE40.</p>
<p>A lot of it depends on the professor. I’m in EE100 right now, and lecture is common for both 100 and 42. The grading percentages are different (since 100 has lab built in), but the curve for EE42 seems to be much more generous. </p>
<p>The mean for the first MT for ee100 was ~60, and around ~40 for ee42…</p>
<p>I’d expect EE100 to have a more forgiving curve than EE42. If I recall correctly, EE42 is for eecs majors whereas all other engineers take EE100.</p>
<p>i also read/heard from somewhere that EE100 is strictly for non-EECS majors… for the minor, i have the option to take EE40 (prereq: math 1b, physics 7b) OR EE42+Physics7B OR EE100. i have yet to take physics 7b so i’d rather take either EE42 or EE100. idk if i want to deal w/ lab but i guess i’d be better off grading-wise with EE100.</p>
<p>.:Indian:., how difficult is EE100? is it like a weeder class? </p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>EECS majors take EE40
CS majors take EE42 (i think)
non-EECS engineering majors can take EE100</p>
<p>have a nice day :)</p>
<p>Yep, CS majors need to take EECS 42</p>
<p>CS majors can take EE100 as well. The degree requirements page lists EE42 with EE43 “recommended,” but you can take either.</p>
