  1. It's about ~25.0%.
  2. No, you would not... Public school ethos and all.
  3. Yeah, I personally know an Electrical Engineering major who did go to law school, probably for patent law. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>is 36 units the amount needed to achieve sophomore standing?</p>

<p>and once you get sophomore standing do you get more priority when choosing classes?</p>

1263

<p>45 units, and yes =].</p>

1264

<p>


</p>

<p>You can look through the faculty webpages to see which subject interest you for research. Like this one <a href="http://mae.ucla.edu/directory/faculty.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://mae.ucla.edu/directory/faculty.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br>
Some of them have webpages that talk about their research.</p>

<p>I think joining ESUC was a waste of $5... Other engineering clubs that I know of is the automotive engineering club and the robotics one.</p>

</p>

<p>For MAE 103, try to get Professor John Kim. He was really good. Oh and Bernie is the best T.A. ever (for mae 103*mae 182a)</p>

1266

<p>0-44 units: Freshman
45-89 units: Sophomore
90-134 units: Junior
135-179 units: Senior
180-225 units: Engineer :rolleyes:</p>

1267

<p>HAHAHA</p>

<p>180-225 units: Engineer </p>

<p>:D!</p>

1268

<p>Hey flopsy, why is it that UCLA CS emphasizes c++ and not java?</p>

1269

<p>


Because C++ is harder than Java. :rolleyes:</p>

1270

<p>Hey Flopsy. I'll be a freshman next year in Aerospace and I would have finished the 30 series in math. I want to continue, so what should I take next?</p>

1271

<p>Hey people, I'm interested Aerospace Engineering but I don't think I have the stats for UCLA XP.</p>

<p>Anyway, do you guys know anyone or any of one of you done ROTC with an engineering major? It is very time consuming and could your grades for it? I'm planning to be in the Air Force ROTC with my major and I'm just curious if I have enough time for my other happiness? Thanks.</p>

1272

<p>


You don't have to take any more math courses. Enjoy your upper-division courses. :rolleyes:</p>

1273

<p>


I don't know anyone in ROTC, Air Force or otherwise. Sorry. :rolleyes:</p>

1274

<p>Awwwww thats a bummer then. But I have another question:</p>

<p>I recently saw a site that says the most misconception about Aerospace Engineering is that with that major can get you into plane-producing companies like Lockheed Martin. But they are actually more interested looking for people whose major is Computer Science or Electrical Engineering. Is that really true? O_o</p>

1275

<p>


Can neither confirm nor deny. Then again, most defense engineering companies are more interested in CS/EE than pretty much any other major... :rolleyes:</p>

1276

<p>flopsy have you heard anything about Ward? I chose him for math32a cause he had a great time and it fit really well into my schedule, but there are no reviews on him on bruinwalk or anywhere else that i can find.</p>

1277

<p>they have new teachers coming in or what not, I had schubert for 33a last quarter and it was his first year after graduating from his doctorate at UCLA.</p>

1278

<p>ohh so ward and weinstein are probably just newer teachers? couldn't find anything about either of them</p>

<p>is it usually bad to have a teacher that is newer since they're inexperienced? or are they typically more helpful and more into their work than the professors that have been teaching a while</p>

1279

<p>


No. From my experience, the best professors are the fresh-out-of-Ph.D. ones because they're the most eager to talk to students, and also the easiest to ask for clarifications. They're not yet in that rut where each quarter is "going through the motions" like so many other professors are in. :rolleyes:</p>

This guy's a work monster, because he is new to the department. He taught 31B for a few quarters, 33A, and some upper divisions, 113, 115A. Plus he's doubling up on summer sessions.</p>

<p>I agree with this. Some older professors tend to lecture about out-of-date applications related to his/her research or vocation when there is extra time, and sometimes these methods aren't used anymore .</p>
