<p>omggg i cant wait
dudee :)</p>
<p>Anybody know what Materials/CEE/EECS have to do for their senior projects?</p>
<p>Perhaps Flopsy can help me out here.</p>
<p>ChemE - Design a manufacturing plant</p>

The senior project for CS/CSE/EECE majors is CS M152B, the digital design laboratory, equivalent to CS 150 at UC Berkeley. You have ten weeks to design, implement and demonstrate a system-on-a-chip with an FPGA and/or embedded camera and/or programmable robot. It's a sink-or-swim course where the TAs have a hands-off approach: you must teach yourself how to program in VHDL and how to use the testbench, and you are exposed to an entirely new class of bugs resulting from two low-level threads of execution. Everyone saves this class for the end because it's damn hard and takes too much time. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>^</p>
<p>wow sounds hardcore..</p>
<p>wow - that's a lot of good information. Thanks!</p>
<p>I still want to know what's the rough borderline GPA for TBP ....</p>
<p>it's 3.5!
:rolleyes:</p>
<p>What i would like to know is what percentage of TBP is CEE, EE, MAE, ChemE, etc.?</p>
<p>Hey for next quarter I was considering...
Math 33A (Laub)
CS 33 (Rohr)
EE 3 [Seminar]
EE 1 (Heyrat)</p>
<p>BUT EE 1 and EE 3 have finals at the same exact time.... Is there even really a final for EE 3...? Does this mean I can really only take one or the other?</p>
<p>Also... if I take EE 1 and CS 33... my EE 1 discussion conflicts with CS 33 lecture... Am I really going to need to go to the EE 1 discussion? I probably am huh..? cause I heard EE 1 is hard ><</p>
<p>Maybe I should just take EE 1 later and take EE M16 (CS M51A) instead... Has anyone taken this class before? It doesn't have any prerequisites... I wonder how hard it is =o.</p>
<p>I took EEM16 with Eshaghian (spelling) and it wasn't that bad. She didn't curve but gave a lot of extra credit. But she also gave "pop" quizzes once or twice a week.</p>
<p>As for the content, I thought circuit design was pretty interesting. It's just an intro to circuit design so it's not anything too specific.</p>
<p>For EE1 discussion, I couldn't really understand my TA so I never went to discussion. I had to read the textbook for the most part.</p>
<p>There are very very few ChemE's in TBP. Trust me, my friends looked for halp in 104B. The only person who I can think off the top of my head is Tiffany.</p>
<p>A lot of them seem to be EEs and CEs - mainly because civil is easier (?) and.. IDK about EEs. But there are a lot, like the majority is EE.</p>
<p>Min. SENIOR standing GPA is 3.5
And it includes all your GEs!! So like, there was this north campus major who joined... she hadn't taken a single engineering class yet.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That just made joining TBP worthless!!</p>
<p>I thought that you had to be an engineering major to be in TBP. I know some guy got in while taking only 1 quarter of engineering courses (switched majors). Kind of shady, they should enforce some requirements on that .</p>
<p>Civil isn't an "easy" major as rumored. Yes, it is slightly easier relative to the mid-tier engineering majors. People just believe that it is easier because it is less competitive and easier to get grades.</p>
<p>Yes, the senior GPA for TBP (top 1/5) is probably around 3.5. How about a rough estimate for juniors (top 1/8)?</p>

Yeah I know, she had just switched. Very very shady. It's definitely not fair - also the chem e department doesnt like giving out A's. There were so many C minuses in 104BL.</p>

Therefore it is easier.</p>
<p>Juniors was 3.8 (min) I think.</p>
<p>3.8. yikes.</p>

<p>So is the "ranking" of engineering majors nowadays based on difficulty to get As?</p>
<p>What are you moldau? Still ChE?</p>
<p>Yes, grades are a measure of how well you know the material.
And yes, still cheme</p>

EE M16 / CS M51A is much harder than EE 1, from my experience. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>For 104B(L) - I love the experiments that never work.</p>
<p>1st time:
So we turn on the impeller to make sure perfect mixing occurs in the tank.
Midway through our experiment (15 mins in) the impeller dies, we're like ...... you've gotta be kidding me</p>
<p>So we keep running the experiment without the impeller and our concentration distribution was so messed up that we were so afraid to present it.</p>
<p>2nd time:
We turn on the pumps and start pumping in an NaOH/Phen solution and out of a sudden the peristaltic pump dies. We're like .... you've gotta be kidding me. We fix the tubing in the pump and that ends our experiment.</p>
<p>3rd time:
"Do you know what you're doing for the distillation column?"
"No, but if I play with these knobs I should!"
So we tinker around with the knobs, and out of a sudden the knob could not be turned anymore and it's locked/stuck. We're like .... you've gotta be kidding me.</p>

<li>TB54</li>
</ul>
<p>Which were the tough CS 31 projects? I know BoelterHall/Flopsy posted something about them but I can't find them right now.</p>
<p>Are you currently taking 31?</p>
<p>The projects are different each quarter, but they cover the same topics. There aren't any impossible project (for experienced and non experience programmers alike), but for my quarter, the DDR project was extremely time consuming and frustrating.</p>
<p>I think I got 75% on it and spent 15-20 hours writing the code.</p>
<p>Even people who programmed in C++ for many years spent a few hours on it.</p>
<p>The other project that was time consuming was the robots game.
It isn't a lot of code to insert since the skeleton was provided, but you have to understand the topics inside out to know WHAT to write and where to put. it </p>
<p>Everything else is just frustrating for someone with no prior experience. Get used to sitting in front of the computer stepping through the code.</p>
