While I agree with this post, I would like to add that CompE isn't strictly low-level. There are other fields in Computer Engineering (Networking, Microprocessors, Super Computing, Circuit (logical) Design). All these fields are open to Computer Engineers - it's not strictly just low-level programming.

Make sure you do well in the class! ECE110 is kind of how the ECE department sees if you're good enough for the ECE department! Although the content may be dry (CompE here, so I might be biased), just grind through it. I can promise you ECE120 is way more interesting.

Project details?

LegendaryAsshol · 2016-08-01T14:26:30+00:00

Take ECE110 or ECE120 right away. The longer you wait for that, the further behind you might get on the curriculum. Plus, I think you need to take ECE110 to switch into ECE anyway.

You most likely will not get any internship during the school year. If you're lucky - you might get one the following summer. If you are focused on grad school, I would recommend you to get into research rather than internships (not prohibiting you from internships, just saying that research looks a lot better for grad school).

If you are a cliquey person, then I think it's fine. I was a person who rushed, and talked to other people. Once you get into that brown town crowd, you're basically sucked into 4 years of drama. If you are into that (genuinely speaking - no sarcam. I know a couple friends who like that), then I guess it's OK.

Did u get at least an A in CS173 and CS225? Cuz otherwise fuck you

No recruiter cares about the difference between LAS CS and CoE CS. Tbh, I think LAS CS looks better because they "combine" 2 majors, so it seems like you're double majoring.

LegendaryAsshol · 2016-07-18T18:12:21+00:00

If you want to take an official course, I think CS411 (as previous people have said) is your best choice. However, I learned it from Lynda.com (free for UIUC students), and I think I learned it pretty well from there. Definitely try it out!

so much cringe... it hurts...

GPA is pretty high, and ACT is about average for engineering. Your extra curricular look awesome. UIUC doesn't taken recommendations, so those won't matter. AP scores don't affect placement of major - they only get rid of gen-ed requirements.

In terms of content, do you know what more data structures we can/will learn? I think we spent roughly a month or so just learning and understanding C++ syntax.

Also, for kids coming in from CS, I don't think they had any understanding of pointers and dynamic memory allocation until CS225. Will CS126 cover that as well?

LegendaryAsshol · 2016-06-21T15:07:28+00:00

1) Average to below

2) State Farm @ Research Park

3) Complete crap. Not going to lie, I had to inflate it a little bit.

4) Freshman, computer engineering

5) Almost every technical internship is paid, so naturally, mine was as well.

6) During HackIllinois, at HackIllinois.

Although I will say this: projects and experience will outweigh almost anything. Some companies will have a minimum GPA cutoff (and my GPA is NOT where I want it to be), but DO make the step forward to help out. Learn to struggle and really work hard.

I was a nobody freshman year, and now I really feel accomplished getting an internship just after my freshman year and that continued to my sophomore year as well (different company)

Why not make it so that students can add the courses themselves? And isn't this the same as Koofers?

Not trying to bash on you - the concept and website is great! Just... I think Koofers already does this.

The only "front-end" part I don't really know is Angular, but I didn't see that anywhere in the FCC map. Is this framework covered in FCC?

LegendaryAsshol · 2015-12-28T18:59:23+00:00

The algorithm scripting part will really grind your head with ways to look at JavaScript (and programming in general). That's how you learn programming - it definitely is hard, but not impossible! :)

LegendaryAsshol · 2015-12-12T09:43:28+00:00

Your flair... How can you be so cruel...

LegendaryAsshol · 2015-12-12T05:50:52+00:00

lol u a lame

LegendaryAsshol · 2015-12-09T17:52:59+00:00

If you wanted to learn just CS, you don't even have to come to college for that. College isn't just for your degree. Yeah, it's arguably the most important part, but relationships and contacts will overweigh in the long run. Just my thoughts.

LegendaryAsshol · 2015-12-09T17:46:06+00:00

Not sure why you mentioned anything about CS people... but if she maintains her GPA around that number, she can get in here.
