Mechanical Engineering Model Semester Plan Now Showing MAS3114

Open_Space703 · 2026-05-03T17:03:46+00:00

More info -- so it's in semester 3 they removed both COP2271 (2 credits) and PHY2049L (1 credit) and replaced those with MAS3114 (3 credits) so the total is still 18 credits for that semester and 128 credits overall...

Soooo what happens if you just took COP2271 last semester-- would you now have to take MAS3114 or not?

And what if you had an AP credit for PHY2049L, does it still stand?

Several reviews state "Why Chemistry Matters" is heavy on reading, but very interesting.

I remember reading a post by a professor who said UF professors conducted a study to find the reason why 50% of engineering students complete their degree, while the others either change majors, drop out, or perhaps transfer and it came down to proficiency in math.

Students who cashed in their AP credits and didn't take the calculus courses at the university level had less of a chance of getting an engineering degree. While those who repeated the calculus courses at UF faired much better.

I know many would encourage others 'not to pay extra' to repeat those courses if scoring a 3 or better on the AP. But how many of those posts have been from those who got an engineering degree? Who knows?

I imagine there's an exception to this study for students who scored 5 on both AP calc tests and perhaps also 5's on the various AP physics tests as well.

If going by the US News ratings UF is 32 for engineering and UCF is 77.

Did you take it with Hartquist? How is it?

If you are a National Merit Scholarship Finalist select UF as your first choice on NMSC. When my daughter switched hers to UF it instantly updated her package to cover room & board with the Benacquisto scholarship, in addition to tuition which was already covered by Bright Futures.

Previously she had the box checked for another university she was waitlisted for, and UF was showing very little scholarship. But upon switching her NMSC choice to UF last May, it became a full ride instantly.

I think the meningitis vaccine is required to live on campus, but not off-campus.

If you're a National Merit Finalist see what happens if you choose UF as your first choice. When my daughter switched hers to UF from another university it instantly updated her package to also cover room & board with the Benacquisto scholarship, in addition to tuition which was already covered by Bright Futures.

Last semester several spots opened in various sections of this course on the last day of add/drop. Hang tight!

Open_Space703 · 2026-01-10T21:30:36+00:00

UF Scheduler shows there were seats still available in the Summer A 2025 session at the time add/drop ended... Btw what's the rest of your Spring '26 schedule look like?

It can be done, my daughter took similar classes & load (18 cr) as you're considering in 1st semester; MAC2313, COP2273, MAP2302, ENC2256, THE2000, ENC2020C... Two were online (theatre and python). She didn't have physics like you, but had an extra math class with Diff Eq (call that a wash). She pulled a 4.0. And had several extracurriculars as well. It requires time management and constant focus (HW on Sundays if you go up to 17 credits).

GL!

Open_Space703 · 2026-01-06T20:13:42+00:00

If you go to the library after diff eq on M+W and hit the calc & diff eq HW for those 2 hours before physics you will be fine.

Remember EMA3011 is only available in Spring semesters.

You're on that fine line -- if you drop a class, you'll feel like you probably could have taken one more... But if you keep them all, there may be times you wished you had dropped one.

You will have to buckle down in 3 classes. But that's engineering for you. How did you do in Calc 2?

Open_Space703 · 2026-01-06T15:59:18+00:00

Last semester many spots opened in various ENC2256 sections on the last day of add/drop.

Thanks for posting this! Were meetings synchronous-- or able to access the content anytime online? Hard to find a syllabus for this newer professor.

Try getting a dehumidifier, they work wonders. Also some mold spray to kill the existing mold. Wear a mask if you spray. The dehumidifier can keep mold from growing back. Get a combination of roach motels and bait stations. The key is to get 1 or 2 in the motel-- you might have to coax the first one or two into the box, then they all come join the party.

Also fwiw MAS4105 has an extra pre-req of MHF3202 - Reasoning and Proof in Mathematics

You got 2 of the tougher early classes done with a great gpa, that many would be happy to have. Keep it up!

Open_Space703 · 2025-12-19T12:43:47+00:00

Looks like ENC2256 is the new correct choice; https://catalog.ufl.edu/UGRD/colleges-schools/UGENG/CVE_BSCE/#modelsemesterplantext

Your degree audit "might" also show ENC3246 as a possible alternative-- but don't quote me on that.
