no

but its like 3 extra essays

also do you get any scholarship from james scholar?

#

no

Entire reason why I am doing Computer Engineering with Physics minor. I want to mainly dive into AI chipset or algorithms ( Compe requirements with 3 advanced computing electives: ECE 448, CS 444, CS 446, CS/ECE 374, ECE 408) but I also want to learn more about quantum computing, hence pairing up with Physics minor (+Phys 370 Phys 486).

EE majors do have to know programming as well. Classes like ECE 220 (Computer Systems Programming: LC-3 Assembly, C, C++) and ECE 385 ( Digital Systems Laboratory: SystemVerilog) is required for your degree

#

But other than that I think should be fine

#

For Computer Engineering definitely need to know how to program since classes like CS 173, 225, 374, ECE 391 are core required class.

#
  • with 3 advanced computing electives

#

and does the Gen Eds count towards GPA?

#

take a look at this! Rough sample sequence for your degree

lethal mesa
fading kiln
#

I think it was last year or two, grainger did imposed a strict regulation where you were forced to graduate once all the requirements for your degree are met, but such regulation was quickly removed

lethal mesa
#

I just realized, is the difference between CS + X at LAS and CS only at Grainger is the elective? I saw at the sample sequence that there are language other than english class whereas the pure CS has physics mechanics instead

leaden meadow
#

glad they removed it

lethal mesa
#

or technically I could replace that language other than english class at CS + X to take other classes I want as long as I am fulfilling my gen ed requirement?

#

and how many hours is required? I want to do the least possible hours of gen eds 🤔

fading kiln
fading kiln
lethal mesa
#

so out of the geneds : the humanities and arts, social and behavioral sciences, natural sciences and technology, quantitative reasoning, composition/writing, and cultural studies, I just have to take one course per category my entire 4 years there to fulfill it?

fading kiln
#

There are so many 8 week online geneds as well you can just take

fading kiln
lethal mesa
fading kiln
#

Also Imma amend what I said, it is actually by credit hrs or number of courses depending on Gened requirement sections

#

But say you took MUS 132

#

it fulfills 3 credit hrs for both:
Humanities - Lit & Arts
Cultural Studies - US Minority

but you only took one 3 credit hrs class

#

just curious, what do you think is the coolest comp e class that you will take / have taken?

fading kiln
#

But it is also the hardest compe class so I need to prepare

#

Currently I am taking CS/ECE 374, Algorithms and Models of Computation

#

Which basically is a class that covers algorithms like greedy, divide and conquer, dynamic programming etc. We also look into models of computation like push down automata, Definite/Non definite automatas and regular languages

#

later it will cover NP-completeness 🥲

#

guys can u change ur major

#

forur thing

#

before accepting

spring berry
#

i don't think so?

#

what I mean is

#

the Cs+x majors right

#

they are able to be switched into

#

I was wondering if I could try and switch my major in Arts and Sciences to the Cs+x major in the Arts and Sceinces

tardy sundial
#

you must meet the requirements listed on the website and submit an internal transfer application

spring berry
#

transferring into cs + x is popular since u can't declare pure cs, u def need to meet the reqs

#

which is basically harder than if u applied cs+x in the first place

how easy is transferring from ee to compe

# spring berry how easy is transferring from ee to compe

Since ee and ce are in the same department, switching from ee to ce is straightforward. You have to satisfy junior eligibility rule (completion of all 100lv and 200lv ECE CS Math Physics courses required for Compe) then u can request for transfer.

For Electrical Engineering → Computer Engineering

If you are a current Electrical Engineering major interested in changing to the Computer Engineering major you may submit a major-change request once the following requirements have been satisfied:

For a fall 2023 major change these requirements need to be complete (i.e. earned credit/grades which are posted to your degree audit) by the end of the spring 2023 semester. 

Composition I (RHET 105, or equivalent)
MATH 220 or 221, 231, 241, 285, 257 (or 416);**
PHYS 211, 212, 213, 214;
ECE 110, 120, 210, 220;
CS 173 (or MATH 213), CS 225
#

For those who are interested in switching majors (to engineering or CS+xs or between ,etc) check this website out:
https://advising.grainger.illinois.edu/degree-programs/changing-majors
<Brief Overview>

* If you entered as a first-year student you may submit a major-change request during your second - fifth semester. 

*Requests for a second transfer are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and will only be considered for majors that are not high in demand and for which there is a clearly demonstrated interest and reasonable time to graduation.  

*All courses listed in the Requirements by Major section for your major(s) of interest must be completed by the end of the semester in which you are submitting the major-change petition. 

*Students may select 1-3 majors of interest on the application and will be reviewed for their major selections in the order they are ranked (second and third choice selections will only be reviewed if you cannot be accommodated in your first choice and if you provide evidence of interest).

*Majors that are high in demand may only be selected as first choice. Currently, these majors include COMPE, CS + Xs, EE, and ME. 

*If admitted to any of your selected majors you will be automatically enrolled in your new major. Only apply to majors in which you are interested in transferring.

So if I’m thinking abt transferring would it be better to hold on to chem? Or still take it

stable anchor
#

just meet the course reqs with a decent gpa

stable anchor
#

however, if you are certain that you want to transfer to compE dont take it

hi! sorry if this is an overdone question but are there any uiuc cs (particularly +ling) students/grads who can comment the difficulty of getting jobs in tech, esp in the past couple years?

#

idk i think i've been a bit too immersed in the doom and gloom on reddit so i was wondering if i could get some other perspectives from here

yo i also got 2 acceptance packages lol @summer cobalt

i think one is the specific college tho and one is uiuc as a whole

Maintain a minimum UIUC GPA of 3.50

Complete at least one fall or spring semester of fulltime UIUC coursework

Are no less than three semesters from graduation

Apply within the first 10 days of classes in the fall or spring semester in the James Scholar Portal. (Please be encouraged to apply in Fall 2024 from 8:00 am CDT August 26, 2024 through 5:00 pm CDT September 9, 2024).

You will need a UIUC GPA, so incoming first freshman are not eligible

You should be totally fine getting 3.0 and above with some grinding and good work ethics. Especially on 100 lv and 200 lv classes

#

Just note, GPA cutoffs also differs by major you might want to talk to your advisors when choosing ur major

#

check: https://grainger.illinois.edu/academics/undergraduate/engineering-undeclared

-> Students who earn at least a 3.0 UIUC GPA and a 3.0 specialized GPA while fulfilling the above requirements are pre-approved to enroll into one of their three majors of interest. While we try to place each student in their first-choice major of interest, it is not guaranteed. Students specify their majors of interest at the end of their first semester and may modify them in consultation with an EU advisor.

I am pretty sure it is after your freshman year. (At least 2 semesters)

#

I think about ``` Students specify their majors of interest at the end of their first semester and may modify them in consultation with an EU advisor.

hot sierra
#

in uiuc it should be definitely doable

fading kiln
#

getting a 3.0 GPA means that you are maintaining B or above in courses which is about 86-83%. For 100lv and 200lv courses it should absolutely be doable as long as you put in the work and keep a good work ethic. Some of the courses also do incentives you to work harder by giving extra credits! (eg: CS 225 (Data Structures) has a full letter grade worth of extra credit if you submit your hws early and do extra problems of the day)

Uiuc sent me some merch 🥳

leaden meadow
desert remnant
#

does anyone know how hard it is to transfer to engineering (I was accepted to chem)

#

for some reason I can’t find where it says this like on a website

regal bison
desert remnant
#

the thing is I’m not very sure what I want to major in so I was just asking if I become interested in engineering in the future

carmine crane
#

chemical engineering is also part of the college of sciences so that is an easy internal transfer

desert remnant
#

thanks but I’m guessing that wouldn’t apply to other types of engineering?

carmine crane
#

Nah

#

since uiuc doesn't consider any new information (I was deferred), does that mean that they won't open my file again and will just wait if anyone better applies?

For grainger, are you automatically in the major you initially chose

#

Or do they make you go into general engineering first year

And then you declare after it

You have to call admissions and then inform them you want to make an appeal, if there's an available counselor they'll connect you but usually they'll tell you that theyll call you back in a few days
