<p>Is anybody familiar with the IEOR program at Berkeley? Is this major just as intense as other engineering majors? Any feedback on the department, student body, professors, courses, etc. will help. Thanks.</p>

<p>yea someone answer this!! ah</p>
<p>I am not an IEOR major but the professor Max Shen is very good.</p>
<p>I heard Yano is good too but too bad she isn't teaching next semester. I hear she is the best.</p>

can't exactly comment in depth on this, as i do not have experience with other engineering majors. in general, though, ieor is much more math-based and thus does not use much pure science (ie. chem, physics, bio) in its courses, other than for the lower div requirements. i'd say all the engineering majors at berk are the toughest majors in the entire college, with IEOR probably being one of the "easier" engineering majors. keep in mind "easier" does not equate with not being good.

the department is good. about 50 students per class year, and a similarly proportionately small faculty - allows for personal interaction and relation with professors and faculty members, something i am glad to be able to get in a big place like berkeley. courses are very interesting - but that's biased coming from an ieor major. student body is small, but there are some clubs that help to bring everyone together. anything else you'd like to know about?
as mentioned above, yano is quite well known for one of the classes she teaches, but she won't be teaching that class next semester due to an overloaded schedule this past year.</p>
<p>double are you going to be a 4th year too?</p>
<p>how is ieor? what opportunities await graduates?</p>
