<p>Hi, I'm in engineering - undeclared right now, but I think I'll most likely transfer into EECS so the courses I need to take 1st semester will look something like this:</p>
<p>Math 1B, Calculus - 4 units
Chemistry 1A, General Chemistry - 4 units
CS 61A, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - 4 units
ENGIN 92, Freshman Seminar - 1 unit
Humanities and Social Studies Elective - 4 units
Attractor Course - 1 unit</p>
<p>I was wondering which class should I sign up for first at CalSO because they're impacted, and also which professors are the best for each class? </p>
<p>Also, what exactly is ENGIN 92? How easy is that class since it's only 1 unit?</p>
<p>Which humanity classes are interesting, and would it be advisable to take english freshman year just to get it out of the way?</p>
<p>yeah, basically my strategy is usually to sign up for classes with a lab or discussion. because otherwise, even if the lecture doesn't fill up, you could get screwed over with a bad time for lab/dis. so probably math and chem and then also your attractor course and e92 since you can sign up for 10 1/2 units at calso. while what yogi wrote what e92 supposed to do, that isn't actually what it does. it's a worthless class with a different lecturer each week. fortunately there's no work for that class - you just have to show up. attractor course, i think, is just a one unit seminar in a certain engineering usually numbered 24 (like mechanical engineering 24) that might give you a better idea about a certain area of engineering. since you want to transfer into, it would probably make sense to take one in eecs. i would also advise in taking some humanities now. i took history 5 (euro) and that was pretty good. i guess you should try and get rid of the American Cultures requirement or your R1a/R1b requirement ideally. btw i'm actually a current freshman in engineering undeclared and probably going to go into mechanical. if any more q's, feel free to ask...</p>
<p>Thanks! nbanyk how easy would you say it is to transfer from Engineering - Undeclared to your first choice engineering major? For example, if I wanted to do EECS, will I pretty much have a gaurantee transfer into EECS if I can keep a 2.0 gpa or higher (as Berkeley advertise on their website?) or will I need to maintain a much more competitive gpa to secure a spot in the more impacted majors?</p>
<p>From what I've heard, they accepted you as engineering undeclared after coming to the conclusion that you were basically qualified enough for all of the different engineerings and so you shouldn't have trouble switching into the engineering of your choice, as long as you keep to the gpa that they say on their site and you've been taking the right classes for your major. i have yet to actually try switching into mechanical yet so I can't say firsthand if this is actually true. i really haven't heard of anyone having issues switching from undeclared so perhaps someone else on the board has done this and can give his/her account.</p>
<p>they don't always offer all of those attractors. basically just check out whatever engineering you're interested in and put 1 unit in the appropriate spot and see if there are any available</p>
<p>I'm in a very similar situation twilightzer0... accepted as Engineering-Undeclared, likely to transfer into EECS. These are the classes I'll probably sign up for at CalSo: </p>
<p>Math 1B, Calculus - 4 units
CS 61A, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs - 4 units
ENGIN 92, Freshman Seminar - 1 unit
Some humanities course which satisfies R1B or AC - 4 units
EECS 1 - 1 unit</p>
