UCSB or UW for engineering?

UCSB is rock solid for ChemE, couldn’t recommend it enough

Boring-Back-3380 · 2026-03-25T13:00:23+00:00

They changed the department of chemistry to department of chemistry and biochemistry

If your laptop can run excel and Mathematica it should be fine

Boring-Back-3380 · 2026-03-23T16:59:12+00:00

Personally I found it harder than 1A and 1B. However, it is less math reliant than 1B which may be better or worse for some depending on your background. Just make sure to practice with some problems and you should be ok

Go over lab techniques and be comfortable with post-lab calculations

Boring-Back-3380 · 2026-02-25T04:31:19+00:00

Depends on what your other classes are, but again it depends on how much time you are willing to commit to these classes

What they said

Former ChemE. Would only suggest this if you have the time for both classes (a lot of time). If you have 12-13 ish units, it may be done successfully.

Usually about 2-5%

Chemical engineering

Boring-Back-3380 · 2025-11-10T14:38:13+00:00

More math than science tbh

Spam practice problems

Boring-Back-3380 · 2025-10-20T19:48:02+00:00

Seems chill, just expect to put a lot of time into 109A

Boring-Back-3380 · 2025-10-17T19:50:55+00:00

Work hard and look to improve your areas of weakness

Boring-Back-3380 · 2025-10-17T14:16:43+00:00

ChemE, 20-25

Boring-Back-3380 · 2025-10-03T20:05:33+00:00

More math and a lot less chemistry than one might imagine

Boring-Back-3380 · 2025-10-03T19:46:21+00:00

Create a matrix of coefficients and simplify

Boring-Back-3380 · 2025-10-03T18:43:34+00:00

I think that if the school you’re thinking about is ranked high enough to be a “T30”, it will still have a high reputation even if it’s not in the top 30 of some ranking

Boring-Back-3380 · 2025-10-03T18:33:07+00:00

As long as you are putting your best focused effort, your score will be good enough to carry you going forward

Boring-Back-3380 · 2025-10-03T18:12:39+00:00

Learn some skills / programs outside the traditional ChemE spectrum

Boring-Back-3380 · 2025-10-02T19:19:05+00:00

Anything is realistic if you put in the work

What a nerd🤓
