UCLA Engineering Q&A

<p>


Yes. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>


Computer Science. :rolleyes:</p>

You're always welcome to change out of HSSEAS, but you have to meet some grade requirements (either high school or freshman/sophomore grades) to change majors within HSSEAS. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>HSSEAS</a> OASA | Change of Major</p>

<p>


It means you're supposed to spend 7 hours a week reading (doing homework doesn't count). :rolleyes:</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>That's a really tight distribution. 22% is the difference between an A-/B+ and a C/C-. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Flopsy,</p>

<p>Are you in the 4th floor SEAS Lab often?</p>

<hr>

<p>I have to take CS 32 next quarter! :'''''[</p>

<p>haha i think that's funny that the amount of hours is written down. i thought it was a given that we have to do all that</p>

<p>imo cs32 wasn't as bad as everyone made it out to be :p</p>

<p>i finished my projects way earlier than i did in cs 31, probably because i knew what c++ was and how to program at the start of this course unlike with cs 31</p>

<p>so dont worry so much about cs 32, its not totally bad, and if you never had programming experience before cs31, then cs32 will probably be more comfortable from the start than 31 was :)</p>

<p>


Yes. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>For all the ChemEs:</p>

<p>Get used to the long hours, get used to the study groups, get used to doing a little bit each day, get used to the material that is super esoteric and makes you want to fall asleep. </p>

<p>You can have a social life and do well, just manage your time. Saying I'm studying while Facebooking doesn't count as studying. </p>

<p>flopsy,
how do the types of projects in cs 31 and 32 differ from the types of projects in cs 33? are they the same complexity just in machine code? or are they simpler problems but just made harder due to the fact that they're in machine code</p>

<p>i'm just basically wondering about the content of 33, since i have heard barely anything about it compared to what i heard about cs 31 and 32</p>

<p>thanks for any info :)</p>

<p>


The projects are almost as complex as the CS 32 projects, and are also harder to debug. The C++ implementation would be 250-750 lines of code, but the MIPS implementation would be 500-2000 lines of code. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>so after undergraduate stuff, to look more appealing for grad school/job, you should have strong GPA and internships/community in your field. (i'm going off what a friend says). GPA being the most important.</p>

<p>What is the average engineering GPA at UCLA?</p>

<p>um, with lots of hours devoted to studying, is there an extent we should involve ourselves in clubs/internships/community? Like do you guys do any of these along with the classes you take?</p>

<p>(i know you guys hate it when someone doesnt search the forum before posting, but i did. Avg UCLA/UCSD ~ 2.4 I just wanna be more sure)</p>

<p>How are we suppose to get into grad school when are GPA's are gonna be this low?</p>

<p>definitely. make it an unforgettable college experience (on the good side, of course)</p>

<p>I don't know the exact GPAs at both schools, but I think 2.4 is way too low. It's more like 3.0-3.1 for those who weren't weeded out.</p>

<p>The whole 2.7 myth isn't so true at UCLA - it is more believable at some other schools because there is no normed grading.</p>

<p>You get into graduate school by being above average, or far above average. That's why not everyone can get into a top-tier school. Have some confidence in yourself and work hard. Be smart and you will get a 3.5+ easily.</p>

<p>You know what, I don't think its true for now. UCLA grad school is trying ot expand, 3.0+ is fine.</p>

<p>


If this were true there would be mass riots from Asian parents. It's more like 2.95 overall, with 2.85 for the harder majors. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>This question is more directed at TB54 (or some other chemE) --why do ppl try to avoid Segura for 104D? I want to take C124 and she's teaching it. Bruinwalk is being a ***** and not loading..</p>

<p>Drake teaches 104A and his statistical analysis is very different from Segura.</p>

<p>Segura loves R^2 and Drake hates it. Segura is relatively new also. People don't want to take her because Tang is more laid back and friendlier. Just easier with Tang. My lab partner for 121 took Segura for 104D and changed option to semiconductor from biomolecular. </p>

<p>It also depends on your TA. Some TAs are great, some aren't so great. I think Segura's TAs for 104D are her actual graduate students (Quinn comes to mind, excellent TA). </p>

<p>Thanks for the response, but what exactly does Segura liking R^2 imply?</p>
