<p>Disclaimer: the new Engineering I Replacement Building going up at the beginning of next year is not for Mechanical Engineering. It's for Bioengineering and Materials Engineering. Half of Engineering IV is for Mechanical Engineering though. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>im planning on transferring to UCLA and major in engineering and i have to take math all the way to linear algebra and differential equations. my question is, will the school accept if i take multiv calc and differential equations in different community college or do i have to finish the sequence at the same school?</p>

After seeing the UCB facilities at Cal Day today I realized we didn't see any of that at the open house especially for UCLA engineering prospects. While students clubs and their projects were proudly displayed in a quad (really nice some of them), we saw no labs or anything inside any of the engineering buildings. Did we just miss it in the program? The ME talk wasn't in the ME building (prolly needed a bigger hall to hold us all).

<p>Hiker Part of the reason why you didn't see anybody in the UCLA buildings might have been due to the fact that many of the students were attending the Civil Engineering Society meeting being held at UCSD that same week. This is sort of a college version of Science Olympiad, and they have annual events like competitions to build concrete canoes and bowling balls, steel bridges, and earthquake proof structures</p>

<p>brunelicsb0018, They will probably accept the math units. If they were taken in California, they are supposed to be transferable to any 4 year UC or state university within the state. I know that classes required within the engineering major must be completed at UCLA, but since the math classes are only prerequisites to the major, then it is most likely okay.</p>
<p>Yup, UCLA Band Mom is correct. Your math units should be accepted if taken at a community college in Cali.</p>
<p>What MadeInChina said. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Hey flopsy, i am an incoming ME major for the class of 2011....im wondering if there are any real downsides to getting a mac over a pc...ive heard that there are certain engineering programs that won't run on a macbook. what would you recommend?</p>
<p>UCLA will allow you to have remote access to the SEASnet programs. You can also download a program that allows your Mac to switch to Windows mode.</p>
<p>I remember reading on here once upon a time that 30% of all Anderson’s admits were engineering majors. What would someone majoring in, say, computer science at UCLA hope to get out of attending Anderson afterward?</p>
<p>
There are no real disadvantages to running Mac OS versus Windows. There are a lot of Mac users in the CS program, and they just "tunnel" into Windows using Remote Desktop to run the vital programs when they have to. Also, most engineering programs are Unix-based, such as MATLAB and virtually every GNU compiler. I've never owned a Mac, though, so I can't make an informed recommendation. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>
I can't answer this, sorry... I don't know anyone at the Anderson school, nor do I know of any fellow Computer Science graduates going back to Anderson because they tend to stay within industry or immediately start getting their M.S. in Computer Science upon graduation. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>I'm planning on going to business school after I graduate (currently a CSE major) and work for a few years but I don't have a specific path that I'm trying to follow.</p>
<p>I just thought it'd be nice to get a background in engineering (perhaps as a safety position to get a job) and get an MBA and go into the business field - like become a manager or something of the sort :P</p>
<p>I was once like you... :rolleyes:</p>

His job is to see the future. He's got 115 patents — and counting. He sometimes Rollerblades the 22 miles to and from his lab. Few Bruin engineers are as colorful or as qualified to offer advice as Marc Tremblay, senior vice president, fellow and chief architect at Sun Microsystems, Inc. Tremblay shares his insights on making it as an engineer and the challenges for the next generation of UCLA engineering grads.</p>

<p>What changed your mind?</p>
<p>And great article btw, gonna read after my cs33 midterm :D</p>
<p>Midterms already? Seems like you guys just took finals! Ah, quarters...zoom.
My S just decided to go to UCLA this fall and will send in the SIR tonight. Yay!Thank you Flopsy, BoelterHall and others for patiently answering so many questions; I'm sure newbie questions gets wearisome but it really is helpful. Clap clap.</p>

<p>It's a popular path that prospective engineers will take, since the engineering salary caps in around 3-5 years.</p>
<p>They get their MBAs and start doing some administration. :]</p>
<p>are there any real differnces between EE M16 and CS 51A?</p>
<p>i was accepted into the letters, arts & sciences major. i would like to do engineering, specifically bioengineering. reading this thread, it seems that bioengineering is very hard to get into, not accounting for the fact that im trying to transfer into it. can you give me some info on my chances of getting in and what i need to do? thanks!</p>

<p>If you'd like to get in immediately for Fall 2007, then pick up a petition form from Boelter Hall 6426 and follow the instructions.</p>
<p>You will be evaluated from your high school portfoli at that stage. You should receive news within 3 weeks.</p>
<p>I'm not sure of how they evaluate transfers after this. I have a friend who went from Undeclared to AE with under a UC GPA of 3.5.</p>
<p>Best bet is that Bioengineering is one of the tougher majors to transfer into though.</p>

<p>Christina2007, as a backup plan, you might consider doing a Cybernetics major. This major is offered by Letters & Sciences, and it is somewhat similar to bioengineering.</p>
<p>Good luck to you in whatever path you decide.</p>
