We just had to pre-register for next semester. These are my courses:

I chose to be a physics major, but next semester I only have one course relating to it

. Requirements up the ass this semester lol

Ouch. The history class looks painful!

I'm not sure what I'm going to register for yet, but it'll probably look something like this:

CS 545 (Machine Learning), or CS 640 (Advanced AI)
CS 410 (Graphics)
MATH 317 (Intro to analysis)
MATH something -- upper divisional elective
some stupid core curriculum class

The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs -- Computer Science (Engineering) (COMPSCI) 61A [4 units]
Physics for Scientists and Engineers -- Physics (PHYSICS) 7B [4 units]
Multivariable Calculus -- Mathematics (MATH) 53 [4 units]

Plus one other class either upper division Economics or Psychology. Unless they fill up or conflict then it'd be some EE course.
That's what I plan to take but I'm pretty much last to pick, so I don't know.

dark_drake · « **Reply #6 on:** March 28, 2009, 02:49:58 pm »

The graduate section of thermodynamics
Advanced simulation
Unit operations lab 2
Senior design 1
Reaction kinetics
Process control

and maybe the graduate section of mass transfer. The problem is that it conflicts with senior design 1 for 30 minutes on Friday. Normally, this wouldn't really phase me, but I've already asked the senior design professor for 30 minutes every Wednesday because of my thermodynamics course. I really just wish there would be more upper division courses in the afternoon.

Or I could just do ballroom dancing.

Sidoh · « **Reply #7 on:** April 19, 2009, 01:47:07 pm »

I think this is what I'll end up with:

I might drop networks for a graduate combinatorics course. We'll see, I guess. This would only be 15 credits, but machine learning is infamous for being a course requiring a shitload of work. Forty page papers every two weeks or something.

I've learned my lesson from this semester. 8 credits of graduate courses + 10 credits of busywork is not a good mix.

Fucking history. *slits wrists*

Psh, I'll just bring in my laptop and do ML homework. : D

dark_drake · « **Reply #10 on:** April 22, 2009, 12:52:35 pm »

Well, my advanced simulation class was cancelled, leaving very few other courses I can take. Damn pre-reqs! I'll figure it out, but it's going to be one of these: complex analysis I, functional analysis, computational fluid dynamics, adv. organic chemistry, or multicomponent mass transfer.

Towelie · « **Reply #11 on:** April 22, 2009, 01:07:03 pm »

Here's my almost-exact schedule (I still don't know all of my teachers but one lol)

dark_drake · « **Reply #12 on:** May 17, 2009, 11:54:59 am »

So, advanced organic chemistry is right out. The professor got back to me and told me he would make the focus of the course mechanisms and electron pushing, when it's usually more of a physical chemistry focus. Also, there'd be a bit of a literature review I'd have to do and like 3 presentations. I'm not going to have the time for that, so looks like it's down to computational fluid dynamics or stochastic methods.

dark_drake · « **Reply #13 on:** May 28, 2009, 12:37:11 pm »

Well, I talked with a professor in chemistry, and he said I could take organometallic chemistry.

So, my courses are:

Unit Operations Lab 2
Process Dynamics and Controls
Reaction Kinetics
Senior Design 1
Thermodynamics
Computational Fluid Dynamics
Organometallic Chemistry
and my PE course: Health class and jogging. $:-\$

Newby · « **Reply #14 on:** May 28, 2009, 12:43:51 pm »

Fall 09:

MAT 022A: Linear Algebra
MAT 022AL: Matlab Linear Algebra Lab.
PHY 009HD: Electricity and Magnetism
ECS 060: Data Structures
MUS 010: Intro to Music Literature

17 units. I need to pick it up and start doing GEs and focusing more. I figure this is the time to do it. I wasted my freshmen year dicking around and now I can buckle down. I think!

EC441 Networks
EC447 Software Design
EC463 Senior Design I

Sidoh · « **Reply #16 on:** June 05, 2009, 05:39:47 pm »

Is EC electrical/computer engineering?

Also, what's the syllabus look like for the data structures course?

Nate · « **Reply #17 on:** June 05, 2009, 07:06:08 pm »

Yes it is, and I don't have a full syllabus but the course description is:

Quote

Review of basic data structures and Java syntax. Data abstraction and object-oriented design in the context of high-level languages and databases. Design implementation from the perspective of data structure efficiency and distributed control. Tailoring priority queues, balanced search trees, and graph algorithms to real-world problems, such as network routing, database management, and transaction processing.

Newby · « **Reply #18 on:** June 05, 2009, 07:14:52 pm »

My data structures class is:

Quote

Data Structures and Programming (4) Lecture--3 hours; discussion--1 hour. Prerequisite: courses 20, 40 (C++ and UNIX); grade of C- or better in each course. Design and analysis of data structures for a variety of applications. Trees, heaps, searching, sorting, hashing, graphs. Extensive programming. Not open for credit to students who have completed course 110.

I haven't taken course 20, but whatever. I may also switch to course 50, which is assembly language, since 60 (data structures) is now being taught by a graduate student and I'd rather have a teacher who's been teaching for 10+ years like mine has. (The professor that's teaching 50 was originally teaching 60, but he was switched.)

Description is pretty much what I meant. Looks pretty interesting. Is this a graduate course? I assume you guys have seen priority queues, BSTs, network flow, etc. before and this is a more rigorous continuation or something?

We see some basic data structures in the Intro. Software Engineering Class, basically, stacks/queues in STL, then we take an entire class on Algo and Data Structures which is the most overly difficult class I have ever taken, and this is the graduate level continuation of it.

Ah, cool. I took a graduate level algorithms course last semester. It was definitely one of the more fun classes I've taken.

I think my favorite things out of that class were van Emde Boas trees and Splay/Linking&Cutting trees. You'll have to let me know if you guys do either of those. VEB trees are especially 'fun' to talk about, haha.

It definitely is going to be one of the more enjoyable classes I'm taking this semester, but I'm really looking forward to "Random Network Algorithms" in Spring '10.

That sucks a lot! Our school is experiencing budget cuts, too, but nothing like that. The most that has happened thus far is they lowered the amount of one of my scholarships.

I've already taken the math course, 18 credits in business (but not that class specifically), and the others are just easy courses/professors or required for freshmans.

16 credits this semester.

No, since I'm unsure of my major I'm doing what most people do and taking my DEC classes first, especially since it's freshman year. Besides, learning to drive a bus would already put me far more ahead in life than you.

/shrug, generals sucked, and they really didn't give me an indication of what I wanted to major in. I came in with, "Uhhh.... engineering sounds good." And when I signed up for chem 2 as an elective, my adviser at the time said, "You're chem E. Have fun!" I guess I didn't care enough to change it, but it amuses me for the time being.
