<p>For anyone considering engineering or CS, I advise considering taking 5 years to get the degree. Out of a lifetime, one extra year in college isn’t that much and gives a few advantages. The coursework is tough so planning from the start to take 5 years allows a bit more relaxed courseload and the opportunity to take courses for interest that someone hustling to finish in 4 years won’t have the time/energy to take. It’s become harder to do this than when I as at a UC; they have bumped up the minimum progress requirements to cope with the crush of kids from the baby boomers. so you’ll need to read the requirements carefully to see if this is still feasible. However the AP credits may help since they count towards graduation but not towards the maximum amount of units you are allowed to take while enrolled as an undergrad.</p>
