This class is pretty much a nothing class. You will do two labs every week with little difficulty. Many of the topics in the labs you will do involve MATLAB, Arduino, Python, and circuiting with breadboards. If you have any prior experience with basic engineering concepts, it will be a breeze for you. The TAs are very nice and will explain the labs to you, answer questions, and walk you through the more confusing ones. Most, if not all of the labs can be completed in the given two-hour period. Every Friday, you will have a mandatory hour-long lecture by different professors every other week regarding a different topic that you will cover in the following labs. Attendance will be 20% of your grade where you just answer a password-locked quiz saying you were there and filling out a paragraph of what you learned. There will also be an extra credit paper you can submit as an optional final to make up any lost credit. You won't really talk to Professor Goldhar at all, but he will pass by the lab room to make sure your jackets and backpacks aren't by the lab stations. Overall, pretty easy class, can be boring sometimes, run by the TA's who are helpful.

Ali has got to be one of the best TA's of all time. Not only does he know what he is doing, he does it absolutely well! Sometimes I go to his office hours because he is such a great teacher. Without him, I wouldn't know what my grade is in this class. If I were to give him a rotten tomatoes score, it would be a 200% because he goes above and beyond to help his students out!

Joseph is such a fantastic TA! He really knows what he is talking about and explains concepts very well. I believe he is also a very wealthy man because he gave me a dollar for actively participating in the class. I say I am expecting a W, but what I really mean is that I am expecting a W grade from him! God bless you Joseph, what a legendary TA

Goated TA. Goes over the lab during lab (that sounds like a given but apparently it's not). Plays chill lofi beats while you work. Also just very chill/entertaining.

Stupendous TA. Very nice and actually goes over the lab content. He is a very relaxed grader, and is always keen to give extra credit.

Amazing TA, helps so much during class and makes sure everybody has the opportunity to understand the subject matter and how to complete the assignment. Also just a really cool person to talk to.

Goat TA. Goes the extra mile to help out during office hours and makes the intro class to EE and CompE very fun and entertaining!

Honestly ENEE 101 is such a TA-driven class that I don’t even really feel qualified to give him a review. Almost all of the lectures are guest lectures and the majority of time in this class is spent in lab so you don’t really see him that often. However, the lectures he did give were pretty good. Honestly for this class you really just have to hope you get a good TA and go to office hours. There’s no curve because it’s pretty easy to do well as long as you take the time to do all of your labs, pre-labs, and reflection paragraphs. There are no exams or anything so it’s pretty low-stress overall. Don’t take an 8am section.

This is a very lab-focused course, and grading is dependent on your TA. That being said, the labs aren't very hard, but each lab may not interest everyone and you'd sometimes just want to leave early. Unfortunately, I somehow faced some sort of hardware problem almost with every lab, which didn't help the experience. The lectures were hit-or-miss too; it came to the point where some of the guest speakers Dr. Gomez was bringing in were legitimately making people fall asleep. Some of them were definitely more entertaining and engaging, including Dr. Gomez himself.

This class was mostly guest speaker lectures and a lot of labs. Both the labs and lectures were hit or miss, some weeks being better than others, but the class was very easy and mostly serves its purpose of being an introduction to interesting ECE topics. The lectures from Dr. Gomez were usually the best with live demonstrations and engaging delivery of the topics, and my TA who ran the lab was really chill and my entire section liked him.

Although the class was run by my TA and I didn't see Gomez often, I liked him when I did. He took an interest in what we were doing, told stories, and gave good feedback. Reccomend.

Class itself is pretty easy. Some labs can be tricky but the TA's get you through it. I enjoyed it but many people I know switched to CS because they didn't enjoy this class. Our TA was honestly the goat, gave us advice on other things outside of class as well. The friday lectures were actually mad annoying and people mainly did other work during and eventually just stopped going. Gomez came in once during lab and honestly just made things harder for us. If you make friends in class it's kind of fun.

This class was very easy, largely in part to my TA though. Not sure how much grade is affected by TA but I am certain that effort required is dependent on your TA. Some of the labs can be very tedious and feel kind of pointless but I found if you do them at least for completion you'll be fine. The class structure is cool with the Ted Talk style lectures, he is pretty funny when he lectures though. Very nice guy and there are lots of points to compensate for any late or undone assignments.
