Great clarification and proposed solution for 61A.

Why was EE16B bad? It looks like it covers some good material in terms of signals, systems, interfacing, and robotics? The labs look like fun also.

Was it too EE or controls focused - maybe a CS-focused hardware interfacing and intro robotics class would be better?

It’s a great course if you’re into that. We even have a major for it — EECS, which is electrical engineering and computer science.

For pure CS majors, it should be an elective. But it was made mandatory until recently. The main complaint is that it’s intense and difficult - regular reports of spending an extraordinary time on the course per week. You can see how a lot of resentment builds up quickly.
