Too many courses?

<p>Hey guys i am a transfer student with 30 credits going to SUNY Buffalo and i would like to know if it is too much or not.</p>

<p>General Chem For Engineers 107- 4.0 credits
Meets the general chemistry requirement for students wishing to receive an engineering degree.</p>

<p>Math 141- 4.0 credits
Beginning of a three-semester sequence in calculus for students of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering. Covers differentiation and integration with applications.</p>

<p>CSE 111- 4.0 credits
Designed to satisfy the mathematics core requirements. Students study algorithmic problem-solving techniques and gain an appreciation for some of the most interesting and significant results of computer science, as well as its intellectual and social significance. The course has both a mathematical and a laboratory component. Topics may include algorithm design, introduction to programming, structured programming, software tools, software engineering, text manipulation, numerical computation, transistors, very large-scale integrated circuits, machine architecture, language translation, computability and computational complexity, parallel computation, and artificial intelligence. Admitted computer science and computer engineering majors should not enroll in this course sequence.</p>

<p>PHY 100- 2.0 Credits
Preparation for PHY 107-PHY 108 or PHY 101-PHY 102. Covers mostly Newtonian mechanics, emphasizing problem solving and math skills useful for physics. Reviews algebra, geometry, and trigonometry as applied to physics.</p>

<p>Is this too much?</p>

<p>Thanks
Eric</p>

<p>No, its not too much(14 credits, right?). PHY 100 isnt calculus based, so that wont take up as much time as one that is.</p>

<p>Looks average to me</p>

<p>Looks fine--the average load is typicall 15 hours.</p>

<p>an average course load is only 15hrs?
we have 3hrs per class * 5 classes and then 3hr labs + tutorials for those classes.....</p>

<p>As a fellow engineer ar UB, well I did my undergrad there. I can say your schedule is screwed up. Unless you are in need of some remedial classes, if so then you are fine.</p>

<p>Chemistry and Calculus are ok. These are the classes every engineer needs.</p>

<p>Phy 100 is not a requisite for your degree. I am sure it will help out before you go and take PHY 107. But know you will still need to take Physics 107,108 and maybe even 207.</p>

<p>I was a cse student so cse111 is incredibly easy for anybody. Again it doesn't satisfy your language requirement for engineering, for that you will need to take CSE113 or EAS230. But the CSE113 and EAS230 are also very easy and they both assume you have no programming background.</p>

<p>For your calc if you can get forced inro Rob Busch class. He is incredible and if not the best calculus teacher I have ever had. Jim Javor is also incredible. If you can get Busch class, which all seem to be full now, do it. you can also email the math department and ask to be forced in to his class.</p>

<p>if you have any other questions ask me. Ive done it and seen it all. Good Luck.</p>

<p>Thank You Dr. Horse</p>

<p>My intended major is Industrial Engineering
When i went to my transfer student orientation, i spoke to Drexel Gidney and he told me that EAS 140 is required for Industrial Engineering but i do not have enough credits so he told me to take CSE 111 as an alternative. I already have my english, gov/history requirements done.</p>

<p>Do you think i should drop PHY 100?</p>

<p>Is PHY 107 at UB hard?</p>

<p>Also how hard are the chemistry 107 classes at UB. My professor is Keister.</p>

<p>What do you think of the Industrial Engineering program at UB?</p>

<p>Thanks
Eric</p>

<p>Too many? No, maybe even not enough. But then I can understand since it's your first semester.</p>

<p>Eric</p>

<p>Mr Gidney is a very nice person and he knows his stuff so stick with him throughout your UB career. EAS 140 is just engineering solutions, I never took it as I was cse. But I have had friend whom had taken it and its not very hard. Just group projects and its meant to be a introduction into engineering. Taking cse111 should not be a problem, its a pretty good and easy class that will give you a good introduction to programming and computers in general. I am not sure about it being equivalent to EAS 140, but it may be. No need to rush, but if you already have your ubit name to get onto myub, print out your dars report to make sure the system says its ok. Even though the advisers are well advisers, they have made mistakes before and if it doesn't say such on the report, get it in writing.</p>

<p>As to the Physics, I went right into PHY107 and then 108 and yeah they were pretty hard. Hardest part of class is homework as its online and almost impossible, unless you have the solutions which you can usually ask around for or get on the campus DC++. I don't recommend you take the chemistry and physics at the same time. It is just alot of work, especially since the engineering chemistry is a good bit harder than chem 101, as the professors assume proficiency in math and science as you want to be a engineer. I took chem 101 as I came in in the spring when che 107 was not offered. You can take either or. The engineering chemistry uses a different text but the same lab material. The real difference in the class is the material taught where as the chem 107 us more towards engineering and its uses in engineering.</p>

<p>I don't recommend you take phy 107 without already had taken calculus 141, as PHY 107 is university physics which uses calculus. Not a lot of it, but you will need to know derivatives and basic integration. Phy 107 is also excessively heavy on trig, and phy 100 prepares you for just that.</p>

<p>Id stick with the PHY 100. you have all the time you need to finish, so dont rush, just do the best you can.</p>

<p>I know quite a few guys I went to school with and they all have good jobs after completing the IE program. So i think its good. Some tips, is when you get to junior and senior year, keep in mind Six Sigma Black belt courses and also lean manufacturing, they will help alot.</p>

<p>Hey, I have the same concern. This is my schedule:</p>

<p>Calc II - 4 credits
Physics I - 5 credits
Engineering 100 (not a blowoff, I heard) - 4 credits
Intro to Engineering majors - 2 credits (probably a blowoff)
Intro to research - 1 credit (also probably a blowoff)
UROP</p>

<p>Calc and Physics are honors classes. Engineering 100 is all about a final team project and I heard it's really time consuming.</p>

<p>^^I'd say that's pretty normal.
My freshman year I had
Sem 1: Gen Chem 1, Matlab, Calc 2, Writing
Sem 2: Gen Chem 2, Calc 3, Physics 1, two 2-credit intro to Eng classes (each was half a semester)</p>
