Some useful advice would be to ALWAYS TAKE NOTES. this class takes a good amount of note taking and just remembering is also a useful skill for this class. Nevertheless, this class teaches so much about engineering and is super useful if you ever decide to major in any type of engineering field.

Both of these engineering courses (Freshman and Junior years) are more than worth your time. Despite how difficult they may seem, the courses teach you a ton about engineering while still being manageable. Please don't be discouraged by what many people say- just remember to turn in your assignments on time, study whenever you can, and take notes- and you'll do just fine!

A teacher who may seem harsh, but is an excellent educator and makes sure you learn as much as possible in his classes.
