  1. Faculty Presentation University of California, BerkeleyEta Kappa Nu, Mu Chapter Monday, May 3, 2010 Presented by Eta Kappa Nu with the support of IEEE

  2. The Survey • 345 responses from Undergraduates • 82% EECS • 18% LSCS • 18.6% Freshmen • 22.6% Sophomores • 30.7% Juniors • 24.9% Senior • 3.2% Super Senior

  3. Overview • Faculty Advising • EECS Research • Lab-based Courses • Miscellaneous

  4. Faculty Advising Are you satisfied with the current faculty advising system?

  5. Faculty Advising • Student Comments + “Nice overview of planned schedules.” + “Faculty are very helpful in general.” - “Advisors should know more about relevant coursework.” - “Students have to have more choice on choosing their advisor.” - “I wish L&S CS had more 1-on-1 advising sessions.” - “Don't give too much help on courses--just come in and leave with your advising code.”

  6. Faculty Advising Which form of faculty advising would you prefer?

  7. Faculty Advising • Student Comments about form of advising I: “I often felt judged in the group setting and afraid to talk to the professor about my issues.” I: “Group advising in an hour doesn't allow people to build a rapport with [professors] and get detailed answers for their questions.” G: “Hearing about other people's schedules and experiences helps.” G: “[Group advising is] way less scary.”

  8. Faculty Advising Would you be interested in the ability to choose a faculty member based on whether they do group or individual advising?

  9. Faculty Advising • Primary suggestion Create a system by which undergraduates can select their faculty adviser based on advising method.

  10. Overview • Faculty Advising • EECS Research • Lab-based Courses • Miscellaneous

  11. EECS Research Have you participated in research? If you have not participated in research, why? 50.8% 47.2% 38.2% 10.6% 9.2%

  12. EECS Research If you have participated in EECS department research, how did you become involved?

  13. EECS Research • Primary suggestion • Publicize and support research opportunities more. Students seem interested, but haven’t figured out how to get their foot in the door. This semester HKN hosted several “How-To” workshops, we plan to offer more in the future to help address this problem.

  14. Overview • Faculty Advising • EECS Research • Lab-based Courses • Miscellaneous

  15. Lab-based Courses If you have taken a lab-based lower division EECS course, how would you compare it with a non-lab-based course? Which lab-based courses have you taken?

  16. Lab-based Courses If you have taken a lab-based lower division EECS course, how would you compare it with a non-lab-based course?

  17. Lab-based Courses • “Lets you get more hands-on…read about the concept, and then see code right away. • “Great idea. The labs themselves can be improved.” • “Really depends on the TA” • “61B is better suited for a lab-centric format than say 61C, in my opinion.”

  18. Overview • Faculty Advising • EECS Research • Lab-based Courses • Miscellaneous

  19. Misc: Physics 7B Do you think that Physics 7B should be removed as a prerequisite for EE40 (and left as a prerequisite for other courses such as EE130)?

  20. Misc: Course Planning What resource(s) best help you plan your classes for future semesters?

  21. Misc: Additional Comments • Infrastructural improvements (Airbears connectivity, more power strips in Soda, faster Unix machines) • Opportunities for creativity (open-endedness in course projects)

  22. Questions? • Contact • HKN:hkn@hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu • IEEE: ieee-execs@lists.berkeley.edu

  23. Bonus!

  24. EECS Research If you have participated in EECS department research, how did you become involved?
