<p>if i do chemical or bioengineering, will i be able to still take a philosophy class or polisci class, or something like that?</p>

<p>No one is stopping you from doing so. It would decrease your chances of graduating in 4 years, or create a heavier load during your 3 and 4th years.</p>
<p>oook.
and is it smart/likely to major in chemical engineering and minor in economics?</p>
<p>...i have the general impression that engineers don't carry minors.
the course catalog states how many units are involved in getting every major/minor. so you could start off by adding the two together and seeing if it's possible, and if it is and there's some wiggle room, then the next step would probably to take a couple econ courses (if... there's room in your schedule...) and see how you like it.
but do engineers even get enough electives? my first instinct is to say, you can do this, but not within 4 years... xD</p>

There is no Economics minor. :rolleyes:

<p>Here's Flopsy's response to a similar question though..</p>

I'm going to be honest. No, it is not realistically possible to double major in any engineering discipline together with Economics. You actually have to petition the HSSEAS in order to declare a second major (you must also make Economics your "ancillary" major, so that you're a Mechanical Engineer first and foremost on your diploma). To be approved, you need a pretty good established GPA (~3.30) in Engineering... You also don't stand a realistic chance of graduating in four years if you choose to follow through, because then you've got ~250 units to cover.

<p>I was just accepted as junior transfer to CSE. How hard is CSE's program compared to EE or EECE? Are there many people got kicked out?</p>
<p>
No. It's the same course, with two departmental listings. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>
CSE is the same difficulty as EE and EECE. Yes, many people get weeded out, but only because of CS 31/32/33 and EE 1/2/10 so I think you're mostly in the clear as a transfer admit. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>
Yes, enrollment is available to all engineering majors. In fact, you're encouraged to take a few of these courses anyways, because Philosophy and Political Science courses tend to fulfill the HSSEAS GE requirements. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>
Engineering majors don't get more than 2-4 electives (excluding GEs), and barely enough room to graduate in four years. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>how does UCLA's EECE or CSE compare to Berkeley's EECS? Right now I'm leaning towards UCLA because of various factors and would like to know if there is a significant difference in terms of job offers, internships, rankings between the two.</p>
<p>Flopsy,</p>
<p>I already finished CS 31/32 and EE 1/10/110L at my CC. Should I take CS33 or/and EE 2 in my first quarter at UCLA? I heard CS33 is extremely hard to pass :(
Thanks</p>
<p>
UC Berkeley is ranked #3 for undergraduate Electrical Engineering and #4 for undergraduate Computer Engineering, and UCLA is ranked #13 for undergraduate Electrical Engineering and #16 for undergraduate Computer Engineering. I don't know which exact companies recruit at UCB Engineering career fairs, but I would imagine that UCB gets a significantly larger share of Silicon Valley companies recruiting for full-time employment and internships than UCLA does, because of the proximity alone. EECS has a lower retention rate than CSE and EECE. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>
You pretty much have to take CS 33 and EE 2 during your first quarter, because you need to catch up with the other third-years who have already taken them during freshman/sophomore year. CS 33 is hard, but not extremely hard to pass. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>What do we learn in EE2?</p>
<p>
Solid-state semiconductors. The entire course deals with the movement of electrons in a semiconductor: properties of Si/GaAs, electron/hole density and mobility, P/N junctions, energy bands, Fermi energies, and effects of doping/impurities in semiconductors. I hope your calculator can display 12 digits of precision. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>doping semiconductors?
...i REALLY don't know how to interpret that xD</p>
<p>What is Breadth course / HSSEAS GE Elective? I took few GE classes at my CC( Speech/Asian American Studies/ Political Science). Can I use them to fulfill those requirements? ( CSE major)</p>
<p>something like 153a is breadth for sure</p>
<p>What is 153a?</p>
