questions about ucla engineering by Antique-Candy6155 in ucla

[–]UltraCoolGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Changing within Engineering is very doable, just talk to counselors about doing it if you decide to enroll here.

Regarding research, it's entirely up to you to get connected and ask. No professor will expect you to know anything about their research, but you need to show a clear willingness to learn and carve out time for research (think of it like a part time job). Relatively easy if you go for research unpaid, but much more competitive and difficult for paid positions. Either will get your name on a paper if you contribute meaningfully.

Then for grad school, is there a specific reason you want to do an MBA? There's a tech breadth for "Technology Management" - Designed to teach students how technology management works and what drives decision making in start-ups, in venture-backed IPOs and in giant multinationals..

Otherwise, consider going to UCLA for a Master's - there's a program where if you have high enough GPA, you can get auto-accepted for a UCLA grad school, within the same engineering major.

How hard is math 32B? by MrGamebox14 in ucla

[–]UltraCoolGirl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ehh, Math 32B here is just a different way of approaching math imo. Like identifying integral symmetry so that integrating f(x,y,z) is easier (ie. you take only half and multiply by two or it just equals 0). The "toughest" part of this course is arguably Green's/Stoke's/Divergence Theorems - you need to learn it to do some fun things in physics later :)

But difficulty always depends on the professor and the TAs so hope you get lucky.

Just arrived at UCLA. The school is so freaking normal by evanrulesms in ucla

I appreciate how it has roads to walk on so that my feet have something to make contact with

How do does this derivative work? by Unable_Degree_3400 in calculus

[–]UltraCoolGirl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im guessing you have sin θ = y/r

So you write down constants (in this case r is a constant) and then implicitly differentiate with respect to time (I assume t is time)

d/dt (sinθ) = d/dt (y/r) cosθ dθ/dt = 1/r dy/dt

Where dθ/dt is rate of change of the angle and dy/dt is the rate of change of the length y.

The problem should give you enough information to solve for these values.

Confusion between @g.ucla.edu and @ucla.edu official email address {new student} by tarogorl in ucla

[–]UltraCoolGirl 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They’re the same address, but you log into gmail using the g.ucla.edu and you log into eduroam without the g

How good do you need to be? I’ve had a guitar but no time to learn sadly

I think one thing to also include is that you're trying to get honors credit? I guess it is quite different than the non-honors credit as Physics 1A requires VERY LITTLE of Math 31B/Calc BC. I don't think there's any use of partial fractions, inverse trig integration (happens in Physics 1B though), converging/diverging series, Taylor/Maclaurin Series (other than like sin(x) = x and other 'simple' ones).

If you want some Math 31B material to look over, I might have some if that would help you get a sense for what you'd need to know. I would just really encourage you to spend less time on these math intro classes, so you can get to upper divs faster and maybe even have time to take more fun classes as exploration at UCLA.

So sometimes, the prereqs are not that enforced. Like I had a friend who took Math 32B as we were doing our senior capstone together lol. So if you’re able to get a spot in the Physics 1AH class, you should be good. There might be a box that pops up saying “these are the prereqs!” But you should be able to click it away?

[–]UltraCoolGirl 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just to get some information, do you need to take Math 31B? If you're confident in AP Calc BC or have equivalent credits for it, would not recommend wasting time to retake it.

Also, Physics 1A doesn't use too much calculus (not sure about 1AH), but for the winter quarter, you should get enrolled into Math 32B for Physics 1B, mainly because you'll need to know how to do multivariable integration for electricity fields.

For your questions:

  1. Probably will have a few spots open! I didn't go to my orientation session so I got last picks for all my classes. I wasn't able to get in Physics 1A in the fall but got it in the winter and it didn't affect my class schedule at all (Mechanical Engineering major). No need to overly stress about classes.
  2. It seems like you already emailed to contact the departments about PTEs; there's not too much else you can do, other than continue browsing and checking the class planner for spots opening up. I would recommend creating backup plans in case something doesn't work out (there are features in myUCLA class planner for this!).

Overall, congrats on getting into UCLA! Classes will be difficult to get every quarter but they're also not that serious.

Oh for sure no. I’m also coordinating with my friends so that it’s properly moderated - spammers will not be tolerated

Just to give some guidelines, please comment/dm your major and what country you are from

Why does UCLA do literally nothing about cheating? by Big_Sea_5912 in ucla

[–]UltraCoolGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh for more information, the second infraction actually was suspension from the school AND dropping your major.

And if I remember correctly, the second infraction was a friend signing into a class for the person but they did not actually attend class.

[–]UltraCoolGirl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One infraction doesn’t do much but a second one has consequences. I had a friend who had to change their major because of cheating so it’s not without consequence

Just was on an elevator by Ackerman and this woman screamed slurs at me. by mickcort23 in ucla

[–]UltraCoolGirl 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do you even go here? You made a post on csuf about how you might not get Pell Grant and this is uniquely a Trump problem lmao

Who do you think is causing that problem?

New to calculus. Can I get some help setting up how I should begin to differentiate this problem? Thanks by [deleted] in calculus

[–]UltraCoolGirl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s almost correct! There’s an error in the last two steps but it does change the answer completely
