Detailed Course Summaries

As a complement to the official Applied Science Calendar information about courses , the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering provides more detailed undergraduate course summaries in a common format that includes the learning objectives, the work that is assigned, the marking scheme, and a week-by-week outline.

The summaries are intended to reflect the plan for each course offering. Minor changes may be made by instructors from year to year in the details such as the marking scheme or the week-by-week outline. More substantive changes to the learning objectives are less frequent.

Students are strongly encouraged to consult the full collection of course summaries as an important resource that provides

  • a comprehensive overview of course contents and learning objectives,
  • and an aid for making elective course choices.

In addition to the course summaries that are provided below, the following link may also be useful to provide an overview of the relationships between the various courses.

The following links are for courses that are administered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

The Electrical Engineering program and the Computer Engineering program include CISC courses that are administered by the School of Computing. The links below are to Webpages in the School of Computing, and they provide short calendar descriptions for all of their courses, as well as more detailed course summaries for some of their courses.

The instructors of a core physics course in the Electrical Engineering program and the Computer Engineering program have provided a course summary for inclusion on the ECE Website as a convenience.
