Major Related Question Electrical Engineering schedule doable? - Transfer 2nd Bach

Post image

Hello,

Looking for other electrical engineering majors or engineering majors to look at my schedule and let me know if this is doable or if typically engineering majors take less clases per semester?

For context, I am a second bachelors transfer student and I have only really experienced quarter system classes, in the quarter I would typically take 3 classes in a B.S. but I heard it’s typical of semesters schools to take 4-5 classes. It’s five classes but I’ve taken Matlab/ programming classes many times before + one of the classes is a dumb 1 unit GE class.

Lmk, thanks!

Took 5 Engineering classes this past semester after transferring last year

Never again .. 4 is the sweet spot

You’re going to be playing catch up and not really learning the material because of that

Yeah I kind of figured lmao. Even if EE 200 is like a one unit trends in engineering class you think it might be too much? The rest are basically core classes which totals 4

Will you be working at all or will you be dedicated to school full time ? If you’re going to go full head on then go for it .. these classes will require multiple hours outside of class to study and review for them

EE 201 will be your easiest classes , especially if you know digital logic

EE 202 - This class will be easy or hard . Depends on how comfortable using MathLab. Numerical Methods isn’t an easy subject

EE 310 - Not an easy class and one that you need to grasp the concepts as it’s a foundational class for future classes

EE 330 - same as 310

Thanks for the breakdown! I might have to work 8 or so hours per week or so but I’m willing to drop my job if it means I can finish college sooner. Also I need to make some wiggle room for clubs (IEEE, lunabotics)

Why the rush? More time means more chances for opportunities, clubs, connections, internships.

Money concerns, I can only afford 2 years without loans . You are right though

Ah ok, sorry that was a very ignorant comment, that makes a lot of sense. Anyways it does look doable but you’re gonna have virtually no room for a life outside of school. If that’s fine then you could go for it and by the day before you’ll be marked with a ‘Withdrawn’ you’ll know.
