UCLA Engineering Q&A

<p>Now that I think about, I am using some stuff from MSE 104 in MAE 156. By the way take it in the FALL, not spring. You got chatterjee for mae101, so you're in good hands.</p>

<p>Yea EE 100 and MSE 104 is part of the departmental breadth requirement. Along with that you have to take that stupid technical breadth which is 12 units outside MAE dept. I'm not following the technical breadth requirement, because I believe it won't prepare me for grad school.</p>

<p>whats 156A? Mechanical Vibrations? LoL I gave up on grad school a long time ago... I don't really like Chatterjee...oh well my fault for having chosen him again after having his son teach MAE 20....which was a disaster. Do you know how Chatterjee sets up the grades for MAE 101? Is he pretty lenient?</p>

<p>So Chatterjee will teach in the spring?</p>

Is this the different Chatterjee who is teaching Chem30A right now? Whoever it is, Sudipta Chaterjee was very disorganized for Matlab, I would agree.</p>

<p>The problem with A. Chatterjee is that people stop coming to class and he really hates that. They don't come to class because he tends to put people to sleep. So in order to screw over the people that don't come to class, he makes the final harder and shows you methods that are not in the book that make life much easier. WHen I had him for MAE 101, the midterm was ridiculously easy, but the final was brutal. </p>

<p>He's a pretty lenient grader, but thats if he can follow your work. I like him mostly cause he is a really patient and flexible person, you can ask him the same questions again he won't get ticked off or think you're stupid. Also if you tell him you want the lectures presented in a different way, he'll do it. I've had him for 3 quarters already. I never took a class with his son Sudipta. Should take Levine for matlab </p>

<p>Also I meant take MAE 156A Strength of Materials in the Fall. Sorry bad sentence strucuture =(. There's only 2 guys that teach it and they are equally difficult, but you are better off in the fall. Even though it says you need MAE 182A as a prereq, you don't need it.</p>

<p>How realistic would it be to double major in EECE and Japanese (or just minor in Japanese) in four years time... or would I just get destroyed by CS31/32/33 since I have no background knowledge in programming at all? =(</p>

<p>


It's not really possible. You'd have to take >250 units. Everyone I know who has tried to double major in engineering and a foreign language have failed to do so, even in five years. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>around what time do engineering classes start?</p>

</p>

<p>8AM to 6PM.</p>

<p>


Engineering courses usually occur in the afternoon, so 12:00 PM-4:00 PM. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>8:00 AM classes and 8:00 AM office hours should be banned :D</p>

<p>Rohr (CS professor) usually has class from 4-6 PM.</p>

<p>A spanish teacher has OH at 6:30AM, and students do show up.</p>

<p>eww...
that's seriously sadistic xD</p>

<p>mmm, so for fall quarter I'm gonna be taking... Physics 4Bl, 1C, LS 2, and possibly Chem 30AL. My question is... how tough of a quarter am I looking at with that kind of schedule? I could possibly push back chem 30AL but yeah, any opinions?</p>

<p>


That's an 8/10 difficulty quarter. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Any one know what EE 103 is like? My schedule is going to be Physics 4BL, EE1, EE M16, and EE 103. I'm thinking this is gonna be killer.</p>

<p>Ok now that i've registered for orientation (103) and all that, I have a couple questions. At orientation do I just tell someone I want to switch into Civil Engineering from Chemical Engineering? Also it sounds like everybody already knows what specific classes they want. What classes should I look into to sign up for for my intended major? Could someone please help me with what classes to have my first quarter or the classes I need to sign up for at orientation. Thanks</p>

<p>haha alright flopsy, since I need a basis of comparison, here's my current. Chem 30A, Math 33A, Physics 4AL, Physics 1B.</p>

<p>stealth99- A good starting place for course selections for each major is to look in the back of "The Announcement" (a 130 page booklet mailed to you a few months ago and probably also on the HSSEAS website). They lay out a full qtr-by-qtr, 4 year curriculum for each major. Then see what you may place out of with AP credits. I can't help you with your other question about change of major.</p>
