Without a doubt, the two most important UCLA CS courses are CS31 & CS32. These classes are how engineering students learn to code. You can tell from looking at each syllabus how valuable these classes are: CS31 Syllabus → The basics of how to code CS32 Syllabus → Object oriented programming and data structures My high school didn’t have any programming classes, so I didn’t even know what CS was until I took CS31. Although the initial programs don’t resemble industry work, CS31 lays the foundation. Building on that, CS32’s object oriented programming and data structures cover most of the programming I do. Also, these classes teach you everything you need to pass FAANG interviews. While landing these jobs requires a lot of preparation (a topic for a future post), these courses provide the basics you need to tackle any inte
