<p>For all of the 2011 EECS transfers, I'm wondering which options you guys picked and which courses you want to take?</p>
<p>I'm split between option I (electronics) and V (general). I'm more interested in the EE side of things than CS, but I want to get as broad of a foundation as possible in both.</p>
<p>I've been thinking about which courses I want to take, and I think my schedule will look something like this (subject to change, of course):</p>
<p>Fall 2011:
EE 40 [4]
CS 61A [4]
EE 20N [4]
ethics course [3 or 4] </p>
<p>Spring 2012:
CS 61B [4]
CS 70 [4]
EE 105 <a href="Microelectronic%20Devices%20and%20Circuits">4</a>
am. cultures [3 or 4]</p>
<p>Summer 2012:
CS 61C [4]</p>
<p>Fall 2012:
EE C128 <a href="Feedback%20Control">4</a>
EE 117 <a href="Electromagnetics">4</a>
CS 161 <a href="Computer%20Security">4</a>
CS C191 <a href="Quantum%20Computing">3</a></p>
<p>Spring 2013:
EE C149 <a href="Embedded%20Systems">4</a>
EE 130 <a href="Integrated%20Circuit%20Devices">4</a>
EE 113 <a href="Power%20Electronics">4</a>
EE 119 <a href="Optical%20Engineering">3</a></p>
<p>I don’t think you can take CS 61C during the Summer 2012. I think you’re supposed to complete the EECS Core courses within your first two semesters. Your schedule looks rough compared to mine o_0… I can get by with 3 technical classes on my last year without summer and still graduate in 2 years. I’m choosing Option IV.</p>
<p>If you want to cover in CS the most commonly used concepts in industry, try to include EE 122, CS 162, CS 170, and CS 169.</p>
<p>You’ll need to find two upper division humanities or social studies courses, either in the same department, or at least one in the same department as one of your lower division humanities or social studies courses from your community college work. At least one has to be an American Cultures course if none of your previous courses has fulfilled that.</p>
<p>I’m leaning towards Option III personally. I haven’t planned out my whole 2 years but I’m taking EE20, EE40, HIST 127AC, and I’m waitlisted for CS195 right now for fall.</p>
<p>Your fall looks a little rough with 20, 40 and 61A.</p>
<p>The thing is that I’m coming in with no credit for 20N, 40, CS 70, or the whole 61 series. At CalSO, my student adviser said that if we don’t transfer in with credit in 3 or more lower division techs, then they’ll work out a feasible way to finish, depending on the situation.</p>
<p>And so far I do have more upper div techs planned out than necessary. There are 20 units of lower divs, 20 of upper div, and 5 more in the COE. I don’t think 20 would be enough to prepare me for work. I could take exactly 25 upper div techs by taking CS 150 or 152 with five other 4-unit courses … but I’m not really interested in either of those.</p>
<p>If anything, I’ll probably get rid of CS C191 and maybe EE 117, but I’m very interested in all of those other courses.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I was thinking about taking 122, 162, and 169, but I’m more interested in EE than CS so I figured the 61 series would be enough for basic programming :P. Computer security is one class I really want to take, and quantum computing seems really interesting but I don’t know if I’ll actually like that class lol.</p>
<p>Also, I’m coming in with enough to cover 4 of the 6 H/SS courses, and I’m planning to double-cross the ethics course and AC course with the two upper divs (I’ll take the AC course in the same dept as one of my lower divs for the series requirement).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I am kinda worried about 20, 40, and 61A all together. Especially 20 … I don’t wanna get Babakued, lol. I took a circuits course at my CC that apparently is 3/4ths of the material in 40 (everything except diodes, transistors, and logic gates) so I think that should help.</p>
<p>haha, I can’t blame you. Since you know a lot of 40, hopefully the load is manageable. I’m lucky I took care of the 61ABC series in CC so I don’t have to play catch up too much.</p>
<p>I live an hour away from Moorpark College which has 61C and partially 61B (47B would’ve been required after transfer) but I never got around to taking those classes. I really wish I did haha</p>
<p>One other thing to consider – you may want to take more courses/units when you have fewer lab/programming/project courses, but fewer courses/units when you have more lab/programming/project courses. Lab/programming/project courses are typically more time consuming than other courses, even if they are given the same unit value.</p>
<p>For example, if you can handle four courses with two lab/programming/project courses, you may be able to handle five or six courses if none are lab/programming/project courses. But if you take three lab/programming/project courses, you may find the workload to be heavy even when the fourth course is a light workload course.</p>
