I've had Professor Sepulveda for both MAE 182A and MAE 166C. But since most reviews about him are for 182A, I will provide an evaluation for 166C.

Professor Sepulveda is known to go really fast in lectures. So its normal, if during lecture you are a little lost, since he writes so fast on the board. Just review your notes after class or while doing homework. And if you still don't understand them, go to office hours. MAE 166C isn't that bad in terms of concepts. The only problem is that there is heavy computation involved in the homework assignments and exams. The homework is nearly impossible without MATLAB since there are a lot of matrix operations involved. Exams are simplified compared to homework (i.e symmetric laminates), so it is doable without MATLAB. Just know that you are pressed on time during exams, so understand the procedure of how to solve the problems. If you understand the homework, the exams will be pretty similar and you'll be set.

Overall, even though he goes really fast in lectures, this class wasn't too bad. Everything taught in this class built on top of each other and at the end, you combine all you've learned to determine whether a design failed or not. So if you can follow his lectures and understand it, it should be fairly simple. But, regardless, problems are pretty long.
