<p>Is this course one of those "weed out" classes?</p>
<p>CSE 271 INTRO TO DIGITAL SYSTEMS (3)
Introduction to logic design and digital systems. Boolean algebra, and introduction to combinatorial and sequential circuit design and analysis.</p>
<p>mostly taken by EE, CE, and CS students in the soph yr (3rd sem.)</p>
<p>The M E, Civ E, and Nuc E guys take E Mch during this time (soph yr, 3rd sem)</p>
<p>definately not.</p>
<p>I'm an EE student and we take that class our third semester, just as you described it, but don't consider it a weeder. Of course, almost any class you encounter can be used to weed you out of engineering. Here, they use modern physics and second semester CS to weed out the EEs.</p>
<p>What school do you go to?</p>
<p>A second year course sounds like a good time to do some weeding. Any course can be used to weed people out. You just make it hard as hell and move really fast.</p>
<p>prof silio from UMD-CP gives only 5 A's in a class of 35. he is a weeder and he teaches digital logic and design. but at maryland, i think the weeder classes for EE are phyiscs(there's three of them), chem(ppl think its hard, i ap'ed out) and "numerical techniques." Most dropouts from engineering occur in the first three semesters. If you make it past the first 4, only a handful would drop.</p>
<p>scorp, did you go to OMHS?</p>
<p>considering I don't recognize what OMHS stands for, probably not; sorry. I'm @ JHU.</p>
<p>It could be if you were a CS student, if you are a EE students, then no.</p>
<p>Though I have seen many EE students fail the class. Its very different from the ac and dc circuits stuff.</p>
