how diffeerent is ce and cs when comparing jobs out of college

stable anchor
#

i suggest you decide to switch or not after taking the intro ECE core (ECE 110,120,210 and 220)

#

Okok

stable anchor
#

how much do you like circuits?

quartz plover
#

if you dont like ciruits at all CE isn't gonna be much easier

#

you need to take 110, 210, and at least 1 EE core course

stable anchor
#

good point

quartz plover
#

i would suggest CS + X

#

I am also against people using CE to backdoor CS

Looking at this right now - would classes at other colleges (ie community college over summer) count towards this specialized GPA? I wanna do classes over summer but i also wanna make sure i have fairly easy classes in my first couple semesters so i can easily transfer

hey uiuc cs people, how cracked are your fellow cs classmates? is it really true that a lot of people here are olympiad campers and usaco plats? 😳

quartz plover

a mean if you go looking for the smart people youll find them

#

but most people are just ordinary students

#

most ppl in cs are ordinary students?

#

or engineering overall

quartz plover
#

If@yoy look for those type of people you’ll for sure find them we have a lot

But the average student is not someone who does olympiads and what not

does anyone know how hard it is to switch to computer engineering from chem? Or if it's even possible? I can't find info on the website for some reason

Math + DS will be another X + DS degree

it has gotten approved

even though the uni hasn't said shit

because I was looking thru the course exploer

#

also Math + DS, even though being math, is still watered down 💀

#

they made a dumbed down version of intro to proofs for them

lol

#

Math 314 is an easier version of the actual proof class CS + math and math majors take at uiuc

the harder class is math 347

-> Grainger will have new school of computer science!

  1. CS + X degrees will also be in Grainger
  2. They also highlight: Within the GCOE, it will also remain important for the college to invest in and grow computer
    engineering within its world-renowned Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
    (ECE) and also in data science across the college.
#

@keen ether @stable anchor @quartz plover

#

Looks like having new school of computer science benefits the CS degrees + Gain more investment in ECE as well woaaaaaa

keen ether
#

I heard them say that hmm

#

I think CS + X remains in their X dept

#

We won't transfer over to grainger

Guys with my ap's I have 24 credit hours

Calc BC - 8 Credits (Math 220 and 231)
CSA - 3 Credits (Computer Science 101)
AP Chem - 6 Credits (Chemistry 102 and 104)
AP Phy E&M - 4 Credits (Physics 212)
AP Stats - 3 Credits (Statistics 100)

Can I fully skip my first year and be able to grad in 3 year?

#

But ap csa and ap stat and ap physics won't count any major reqs for you

how does first year class registration work

quartz plover
quartz plover
ashen tapir
#

oh cool ok

#

do first years get prio or anything

#

like if we have hs credit for the more advanced courses

quartz plover
#

but other than that you get the worst priority reg

ashen tapir
#

😭

ashen tapir
#

idk if they all transfer tho

#

the transfer policy dosent mention? credit limits so I assume if its on transferology it goes?

#

would that give me soph or jr standing

quartz plover
#

how do you have 99 credits

ashen tapir
#

cali cc is insane

quartz plover
#

what classes did you take

ashen tapir
#

all UC gen eds and p much all the math engineering and physics courses available

#

so like physics up to modern physics, some random mechE courses like statics, and then calc 1-3 linalg diffy and discrete math

#

linalg and discrete dont transfer tho 😦

quartz plover
#

transferology then

ashen tapir
#

👍

#

Students entering the university directly from high school as degree candidates with academic credit earned by advanced placement or similar programs for superior students are considered freshmen for the purpose of admission and registration
rip

#

guess no prio enrollement

#

does it help much anyways?

quartz plover
#

oh rip

#

yeah next sem it will be good

Fuck i just rememebred i need to fill that out

quartz plover

what

#

On my psych evaluation for adhd accomodations one of the reccomended accomodations is priority registraiton

#

But i mean its kind of a reach

quartz plover

you get them actually

#

not for your first incoming semester

#

but for future semesters you do

candid seal
#

O thats nice

quartz plover
#

any disability gets you priority reg

ashen tapir
#

how much does prio enrollement help for like the 300-400 classes

quartz plover
#

it all dpeends which

ashen tapir
#

is it thug outtable

quartz plover
#

what major are you

ashen tapir
#

physics, prob gon switch to math or stats

quartz plover
#

you should be fine then iirc

#

if you have a lot of credits youll be fine

ashen tapir
#

o ok

#

also how easy is it to test outta math 347. I wanted to take topo first semester but it has math 347 as a prereq

image.png
#

but it says I could skip if I had consent of instructor?

quartz plover
#

you cant

#

you cant test out of 347

ashen tapir
#

whats the whole consent of instructor thing then

quartz plover
#

its to waive prereqs

#

if 347 is a grad req youll still need to take it

#

also taking a 400 level your first sem is

#

insane

Def not

ashen tapir
#

does UIUC look at high school GPA when transferring within UIUC?

#

like an ICT

#

the transfer handbook says they look at it when you enroll from another school and have less than 36 credit hours

#

but does that apply if you're already at uiuc

#

I wanna do physics + another major since I already have a lot of physics credit but I heard since physics is not that competitive you have to transfer to the more competitive major first

quartz plover
ashen tapir
#

wait so they do look at it?

You are right about this:

Application Process
Students who wish to Dual Degree with both degrees in engineering must apply to IDT to the most in-demand degree as their first choice. No dual degree application to an in-demand major will be considered at a later time.

***When making your first-choice selection, keep in mind that there are some majors that are first-choice-only majors due to their demand. ***

Those majors for first-year engineering applicants include computer science (including CS+X), computer engineering, and mechanical engineering. For transfer engineering applicants, computer science (including CS+X), computer engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering are first-choice-only options.

quartz plover
#

No longer people back dooring CS

ashen tapir
#

Like is the IDT part of the dual major process or do you have to IDT and then you can start your dual major application

how do i specifiy an LLC in the housing contract if these are the only options

ivory magnet
#

If you select a house, the room preference option will let you select if you want to apply to a room that's reserved for an LLC

fringe canopy
#

ty!

#

whats the next best option for grainger if i can't get into ISR

ivory magnet
#

Join me and apply for Allen

#

A note, though, the preference you list does not matter.

#

They don't check it and you just choose from available options when your time slot comes up

#

Unless you apply and get into an LLC, in which case you have an earlier time slot where you just choose from rooms available to that LLC

#

I think

fading kiln

So overall means, if you want dual degree, you need to first successfully transfer to competitive majors like Compe, Meche, EE, and then apply for dual degree

fading kiln
# fading kiln As far as I know this is not allowed in grainger i think. You cannot change ur m...

Oh nevermind you can but excluding competitive majors: Compe, Meche, EE

***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. **

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

#

Grainger website forgot to remove CS from there lol since internal transfer is not permitted

fading kiln
#

by graduating class there is always an instagram account

#

but i am not sure for 2028

Hey, I’m planning on majoring in CS+philosophy and in the CS part I wanted to focus more on cybersecurity, but this bit of text on the website confused me

#

“The CS and CS+X majors cover the exact same core curriculum in the first and second year. The biggest difference is in the advance coursework. CS+ majors advance coursework will be focused in the X subject matter and have a computational aspect to the advance curriculum as well. For CS majors, advance coursework will be based on the focus area of your choose for a deeper dive into various computing and programming areas.”

#

Does this mean that I can’t choose to focus on cybersecurity after my second year? I was planning on taking classes relating to philosophy and cybersecurity, and I’m unsure what they’re saying here

Are there ECE courses which are reserved for only CE/ EE? Like are there cases where I can’t get a CE class cause I’m EE?

same department

So the only differences are 1st and 2nd year and then it’s the same?

#

Like you can choose whatever in 3rd and 4th

quartz plover
#

You can chose whatever whenever besides the required courses I’m not sure what you mean

Yeah that’s what I meant

So as an EE I could specialize in AI & Energy systems for example?

Freshman 15

The term "Freshman 15" is an expression commonly used in the United States and Canada to refer to weight gain during a student's first year in college. Although the 15 refers to a 15 lb (6.8 kg) weight gain, the expression can apply more generally. In Australia and New Zealand, it is sometimes referred to as "First Year Fatties", "Fresher Spread...

EU should have a better chance getting the majors they want but again the website highlights:
**
"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."**

vestal pier
#

@keen ether bro u there?

keen ether
#

Yea?

vestal pier
#

bro since you good at stats

#

i got a doubt

#

with residuals

#

the residuals should all add up to 0

#

is that only for the linear regression model

#

you there bro @keen ether

keen ether
vestal pier
#

alright

keen ether
#

Uhh

keen ether
#

This should be true too

#

If they are best fit

vestal pier
#

see what im confused is about

#

we find the linear regression model through the least squares regression model right

#

why cant we just sum up the residuals and equate it to zero rather than use that method

#

if thats true for every linear regression model

keen ether
#

You use least squares because you wanna minimize the cost

keen ether
#

It's a line that produces y primes

#

Y prime varies across the whole thing

vestal pier
keen ether
#

Of error

#

If you think about least squares is the distance from ur current daya

#

Data

#

You wanna minimize that

#

So you get a model with less error

vestal pier
#

but isnt the sum of residuals only zero for the line of best fit

keen ether
#

Yes

vestal pier
#

there cant be a model with more error that has a sum of residuals not equal to zero

keen ether
#

But least squares helps us actually do the regression

#

Because the way residuals work is that it's not distance

#

Residual can be negative

#

Sqaured error cannot be

#

So we can decrease squared error without worrying about ubbalancing something

keen ether
#

You would still have a resume of residuals equating to 0

#

But that's an awful line

vestal pier
#

so it is possible for other lines to have the sum equating to 0?

keen ether
#

It's even pointing in the inverse direction of the data

keen ether
#

But the best fit line will always have sum = 0

vestal pier
#

oh

#

so its just a property of the linear regression model

keen ether
#

We use least squares to get the best fit because it's positive

vestal pier
#

im overthinking it ig

keen ether
vestal pier
keen ether
#

So it's a metric we can actually hse

vestal pier
#

shit i thought other lines cant have sum equating to zero

keen ether
#

Nah they can as well

#

But they aren't necessarily good fit lines

vestal pier
#

oh okay

#

thanks dude

keen ether
#

Np

vestal pier
#

btw

#

is it possible to transfer into Math + CS at UIUC

#

from outside

#

after my first year

keen ether
vestal pier
#

is it really hard

keen ether
#

I know quite a few that did that

vestal pier
#

also will my credits transfer

keen ether
#

Uhh shouldn't be too bad

keen ether
vestal pier
#

i got like 34 including my upcoming ones

keen ether
#

Transfereology is the website to check that

#

It depends usually

#

I cannot guarantee they will all transfer though

vestal pier
#

also do you think it's even worth transferring from UMD CS to UIUC Math+ CS, i feel like the relationships I build with professors in my first year will go to waste at UMD

#

but im really interested in quant finance and CS so want to get into UIUC

keen ether
#

I feel like it's not personally

#

Umd you can get Quant too I'm sure

vestal pier
#

yea but I heard UIUC is goated for quant finance

#

quant is deffo mad hard to break into

keen ether
#

Ye for sure

#

But umd should be fine

vestal pier
#

do you think it'd take a lot of time to adjust if I ever try to transfer?

keen ether
#

Uhh I don't think so based off the transfers I know

vestal pier
#

is it common?

keen ether
#

I know like 3 or 4 yea

#

It's not uncommon

vestal pier
#

was is it pretty easy for them to adjust?

keen ether
#

Yea

vestal pier
#

nice

#

i forgot to appeal so only option i got is to try transfer after my first year

#

I heard that transfers are relatively easier compared to first year admissions

#

cuz few students drop out

keen ether
#

Ahh

#

I see

stable pagoda
#

yoo guys I had a question

if I'm a CS+Edu major then can I overload my schedule to do the whole CS major (like also the higher level electives) while also doing Edu classes (Overloading then wouldn't be too bad) so then hypothetically, can I have a double major in CS and Education? compared to a blended degree in CS+EDucation?

#

Hypothetically speaking >?

sonic nebula
#

probably

#

i know a cs+edu major who has bern relaxong since first semester

#

and from what ive seen and heard cs majors tend to have a decent amount of work but the classes are graded fairly which is why the avg gpa is pretty good

stable pagoda
#

Hmm I see. Can I DM you a doc I created for how I can grad in 3 years?

stable pagoda
sonic nebula
#

he proffed a bunch of courses

#

the only problem I see with graduating in 3 years is that you spend so much time on school work rather than projects or actually getting internship experience

sonic nebula
keen ether
#

I mean

#

you can't like physically

#

get a pure CS degree

#

but you can take all the same classes a UIUC CS major does

#

but idk why you would

#

the whole point of cs+x is to explore more of the applications CS to other fields

#

which is why my bonus classes are spent on math and linguistics

#

rather than pure cs

stable pagoda
#

That makes a lot more sense! Thank you guys!

frozen holly
quartz plover

they were made aware they were tresspassing and didnt leave iirc

keen ether

I see

so I guess something will happen soon

then

quartz plover

so then they can tresspass the students

im stayign in the comfort of my own apt lmao

I wonder if they actually tear gas

what are yall trying to get the uni to divest from

#

oh

wait what companies

#

are we like

invested in rn

#

that are israeli

frozen holly
#

Defense contractors and companies like caterpillar that profit from apartheid

keen ether
#

ahhh

#

ok

quartz plover
#

i know from a cs prospective intel is probably one

keen ether
#

wait so

#

divest meaning

#

no more money to them

#

or like

quartz plover
#

yes

keen ether
#

kicking them outta

#

research park

keen ether
#

intel

quartz plover
#

kicking out of research park would be insane tbh

keen ether
#

yea that would be

frozen holly
#

Intel is a pretty big one yeah it's a BDS target

keen ether
#

wait waht does intel do

#

like for this conflict

quartz plover
#

intel themselves doesnt do anything

keen ether
#

oh

quartz plover
#

they just use israel for cheap chip manufacturing

keen ether
#

oh

#

I see

quartz plover
#

they have some of their big plants in like rafah and tel aviv

#

they denied me for internships so

keen ether
#

I see

frozen holly
quartz plover
#

yeah

keen ether
#

stop collaboration

#

is like

#

kicking them out 💀

#

our uni's ties into caterpillar are insane

quartz plover
#

i was gonna say i doubt anything is gonna happen personally

frozen holly
#

Yeah, it's not too hopeful

#

But I feel like I gotta try at least, I'd be happy with divesting investments

quartz plover
#

naturally

#

im jsut glad there hasnt been like

#

too much antisemitism from this

#

thats my main concern

keen ether
#

yea

#

I dont think the uni is gonna budge

quartz plover
#

besides the one student that got attacked

keen ether
#

yea

#

someone got arrested?

quartz plover

Vibes are still great overall tho, we havef fpizza

A bit annoying to walk around campus at most since they were in the middle

Actually I was seeing the opposing sentiment. I like UIUC's Grainger CS curriculum more than GT's but I'm not too sure about the location of UIUC.

if uiuc is near a big city it'll def gain a lot more prestige

@fluid sky Where are you commited?

did u get in?

do u do usaco by any chance

#

Nah I had ISEF and local programming comps though

#

What about you?

fluid sky

yeah i also had isef

#

i dont do usaco

#

i feel like all my isef friends arent happy with just top state schools for cs with the exception of berkeley lol

#

Bro I feel that same. I really hope I get off CMU or Berkeley's waitlist

Maybe Harvard would satify me too

same here bro

did u win anything at isef

I won 4th but that's not really that impressive

from last yr? i was isef 23

are you going this year?

yeah my regional fair was too easy this year

ever considered transferring?

if u dont get off any waitlist and go to gt

I'm going to apply to Princeton, Berk, Stanford, and CMU

Mabye sophmore year

#

oh so like as a junior transfer

#

some ppl already began transfer preparation now lmao

#

the earliest u can transfer is after 1 semester of college

#

i.e. sophomore transfer

#

im also considering

compact trellis
#

I think it doesn't make sense because you don't have a stronger resume. Most of my friends doing that have failed.

fluid sky
#

well the thing is if u have a big resume in high school e.g. isef award u should have gotten in at least an ivy+

#

so idt u would have trouble transferring if u just change the way u write ur essays which is what most ppl screw up on
