<p>Fall semester of sophomore year.</p>
<p>EE 2730 - Digital Logic
CSC 1253 - Intro CSC
MATH 2090 - DE & Linear Algebra
PHYS 2102 - Gen. Phys. II
EE 2120 - Circuits</p>
<p>This is from the EE flowchart of the university I intent to transfer to. How rough of a semester would one have taking these classes?</p>
<p>Depends on your work ethic, time management skills, what you do outside of class, etc. It isn’t that hard if you manage your time well though.</p>
<p>It is also dependent on the student. What did your freshmen schedule look like? How did you end up doing in those classes? You should hopefully have an idea how much time/effort is required for the math and science classes by now.</p>

<p>It depends on how hard the classes are, but I think I’m going to have nightmares just from reading your post, LOL! </p>
<p>Prepare for serious pain and hope it hurts so good! (i.e., if you find it all really interesting, you’ll be ok, but otherwise, …, I can hear the violins with the music from the horror movies)</p>
<p>Why are diff eq. and linear algebra combined into 1 class? I know you touch on linear algebra in diff eq, but you I’m pretty sure there won’t be anything abstract. </p>
<p>Depends on what each class entails and your priorities. I’ve always run into 3 credit classes that end up taking the majority of my free time</p>
<p>Sophomore level linear algebra and differential equations are often combined at semester system schools because most students who have to take one have to take both, and the combination tends to make one “normal size” semester-long course (versus two “small” courses).</p>
<p>Will be hard.</p>
<p>It’s pretty hard to take that kind of work load and hold a job, ESPECIALLY if you’re working full time. A lot of schools more or less tell you to not bother working if you have any prospect at all in pursuing an engineering degree. I more or less agree. While this may be impossible for some people, if it’s not for you, I recommend “surviving” while you’re in college. </p>
<p>My degree (Chemical Engineering w/ a Biochemical emphasis) is intense as hell. I am able to survive because I saved up money and most, if not all, of my schooling is paid for through grants and loans. I take about 17 hours a semester. This includes Chemistry almost identical to that of a regular Chemist (I had to take both Organics and Physical Chemistry), Biology including Molecular/Cell Biology, Differential Equations, programming, Physics, etc. There is almost never an “easy” semester. It’s like one barrage to your brain after another. It gets slightly easier senior year, but even then you have a huge capstone project that has to be quality.</p>
<p>I’m not even thinking about working while doing my Bachelor’s. I’m going to put all my time and energy into whatever engineering program I choose at LSU.</p>
<p>©mhjames: How are your grades holding up? I want to be able to finish with a 3.5 taking at least 15 units a semester.</p>
