<p>I stand corrected. In that case, I found Math 32A somewhat easier than Math 31B. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>is starting with 31A going to hinder progress into engineering?</p>
<p>Yes, unfortunately. Most engineering majors start with Math 31B/32A. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>do you know any engineer that started with 31A? (because since i'm already in L&S i was wondering that if it turns out engineering isn't for me i might as well just go for a major in L&S)</p>
<p>There's myself, and a few other CS/EE majors I met in the dorms during freshman year. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Engineering Welcome Day 2006</p>
<p>Date: September 27th
Time: 10:30AM-2:00PM
Location: Ackerman Grand Ball Room</p>
<p><a href="http://www.esuc.ucla.edu%5B/url%5D">http://www.esuc.ucla.edu</a></p>
<p>The UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science welcomes the Class of 2010.</p>
<p>Engineering Welcome Day is the official venue for HSSEAS freshmen to meet other students in their major, join the engineering student organizations, and network with prominent alumni and faculty. Dean Dhir and Associate-Dean Jacobsen will deliver their formal inauguration to the Class of 2010, followed by keynote speeches from distinguished graduates from the Class of 2006 and a film presented by the Engineering Society of UCLA. During intermission a catered lunch will be served, while volunteers seated at your table (including myself) will answer your questions. Introduce yourself to the many peers at your table, compare GPAs and SAT I/II scores, and form alliances to compete in your engineering courses. Following the event will be a guided tour of your classrooms and vital locations within the HSSEAS. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP online as soon as possible, as seating and accomodations are limited. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>is Engineering Welcome Day really helpful? what food do they serve in lunch :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Haven't we been through enough welcoming from the HSSEAS?</p>
<p>Does anyone know anything about the job outlook opportunities for Chemical Engineers in Socal?</p>
<p>How is UCLA ranked in undergraduate chemical and bio/biomedical engineering??</p>
<p>Upon closer inspection of US News, UCLA is unranked in undergraduate Chemical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering (it's outside of the top 25 for Chemical Engineering, while Bioengineering doesn't qualify under "Biomedical Engineering" for US News). :(</p>

<p>when will UCLA catch up to Cal :(</p>
<p>yikes...UCLA isn't top ten in any category.. :(</p>
<p>I would rather have UCLA be well-rounded than be unbalanced like UCSD and UCD. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>does anyone know anything about the current job outlook opportunities in Southern California for future graduates with B.S. in aerospace engineering?</p>
<p>Here's a good article for you Jaqq:
<a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-defense5sep05,1,1889057.story?coll=la-headlines-business%5B/url%5D">http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-defense5sep05,1,1889057.story?coll=la-headlines-business</a>
It's a recent (Sept 5) LA times article about the state of the aerospace industry in SoCal. We've been hit by a lot of closures and moves by some major manufacturers recently, but as you can see in the article there are still plenty of opportunities, though they may be more decentralized from before. I grew up just down the street from the Boeing (at one time McDonnell Douglas) plant down in LB and aerospace has always been a huge, huge part of the economy down here. I've also had friends are relatives work at places like JPL and Northrop Grumman as well as smaller manufacturers, it's very much embedded in our economy. With aerospace there's always going to be some uncertainty because of just how fast the technology changes, but in the long term, there are worse places to be besides here.</p>
<p>thanks a lot</p>
<p>anythoughts on a double major in EE cs focus or w/e thing. and math?</p>
<p>That would be pretty tough, EE has some of the highest unit requirements of any major as it is. You cover most of the lower division math with your engineering requirements (actually I think with CS focus you cover all the lower div math you need to take to double major in math because you have to take Math 61). However to double major in math I believe you would need to take another 6 or 7 upper division math courses. It's somewhat doable if you are just a CS major because you can technical minor in math and it would be just another quarter or so of math classes, but with EE and the requirements you already have it would be a ton of work. EE is a pretty tough major to complete as it is already. Don't quote me on the exact numbers, but I did look into it because I am a CS major with a tech minor in math.</p>
