The Winter INSPIRE freshmen seminar series is an integrated academic support and peer mentoring curriculum design to build community and excitement for opportunities in College of Engineering (CoE) majors. The Winter offering of this seminar will focus on a series of guest speakers (including UCSB CoE alumni and faculty, as well as local industry leaders) in fields aligned with CoE majors. Participants will learn about potential internship opportunities and career pathways within their major. Weekly meetings will include career/technical presentations by guest speakers, questions/answers periods, small group engagement, and other activities designed around the presentation topic.

Prerequisites: ENGR 13A; Participation in the College of Engineering INSPIRE freshmen program.

CHE118 . Chada J P 5 Months Ago

Just show up to class, do the assignments, and give a decent presentation and you will pass. Pass/No Pass isn't a grade option here but since 118 is, participation is the only requirement for success. I liked Professor Chada's technical writing slide decks and I will be repurposing them for the rest of my time at UCSB.

CHE180A . Chada J P 5 Months Ago

I have my own personal issues with junior lab and the way our groups are determined but that is a story for another time. Professor Chada introduced office hours for lab report review this year, which was greatly appreciated. 180A is such an important class for the chemical engineering curriculum, and I think he did a good job with our class.

CS176A . Belding E M 7 Months Ago

Took Prof. Belding's course in 2019 Spring. I have to say she is one of the best professors I met before. She has made the lecture material very interesting and well-organized, and she is also a super patient and supportive professor. Besides, she is a very big name in computer networks, but you can always find her in her office hours.

CS176A . Belding E M 7 Months Ago

Prof Belding is one of the best lecturers I have had as a senior CS undergrad and it's obvious she cares about teaching the course. Lectures are structured in a way that makes it easy to understand new concepts and I recommend attending lectures as the content is pretty interesting. Tests are fair and follow the lectures and HW very closely.

CS176A . Belding E M 7 Months Ago

Belding is a great lecturer and teaches complex material well. The assignments are fair and there are SO many extra credit opportunities offered (ex. attending section, watching videos, lab for grade bump on final). She wants you to succeed. I'm a senior and this was the first CS class that I found really interesting and engaging. Would recommend!

CMPSC24 . Mirza D 7 Months Ago

Professor Mirza is awesome. She explains concepts very well with analogies and shows us how to approach LeetCode questions on particular topics, which are very helpful for the midterm and final. The labs are super long and hard so don't procrastinate them. Practice lots of LeetCode for this class and understand how to approach the labs to do well.
