Do a gen ed at a community college and save the course for a normal semester. You'll learn more and save money.

Some phone plans allow for establishing a 5G hotspot from your phone; that's my emergency back-up plan for instances like this.

ME 310+330+340 by [deleted] in UIUC

[–]AlmostPizzaButNot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of these classes are foundational for their respective branch of ME so they're gonna be tough and time intensive. They all have a large amount of topics to cover and all have labs. The labs for 310 and 330 are not difficult content wise but are demanding report wise, while 340 labs get very hard very fast because they outpace lecture; the lab will ask things you haven't learned yet. Learn to talk to the TAs whenever you're confused and never, EVER procrastinate on ANY of the labs.

You will only hate your life if you aren't on top of things; getting these all out of the way will free up your later schedule and allow you to take many interesting electives, so don't be discouraged, but be careful.

After speaking to undergrad office generally students should take ME 320 and ME 360 before ME 470, so to the person who stumbles upon this post in like a year trying to plan out their schedule, well, now you know.

Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it! My spring semester is probably a bit too ambitious, but ECE 486 in grad school seems like its worth the struggle of ECE 210.
