Stony Brook Engineering

<p>Hi I applied to Stony Brook and I was wondering if anyone can tell me about the class sizes are they really big for class sizes such as (computer engineering). How difficult are the classes. Or any other classes. How are the professors?
I'm just a little curious lad</p>

<p>I heard their engineering course is very demanding.</p>

<p>We’re in the middle of building a new computer science building, so as a computer engineering major you might be able to use that. The major’s classes are small, but you will be in large lectures the first year or two with all the other engineering majors (physics 1 and 2, calc 1-4). I’m sure the classes will be pretty difficult, but I’m not in this department so I can’t speak further</p>

<p>If you are a freshman/sophomore then you will have fun in Javit’s(lecture hall) with a crowd of 200+ students likely for chem, physics, bio, ams, mat…almost all of the nasty DEC’s… until you enter your junior year you shall share your classroom with no less than 100+ glorious students :stuck_out_tongue: in lecture halls where you will use clickers for attendance and probably your professors will never know that you exist :-D</p>

<p>computer science major</p>

<p>Electrical and computer engineering are under the same department. You will have both majors in 90% of your classes. Computer engineers take a few computer science classes(2 or 3) in place of some electrical classes.
First year classes will be two engineering introductory classes(that do some initial weeding out of students but nothing bad, in fact the first semester class is the best by an awesome and friendly professor).
Classes after the first year will decrease in size. Once you are taking level 300 classes in junior/senior year, the classes will be usually around 20 students in size.</p>
