ECE329 with ECE340
Relevant Course Reviews:
Who should take them?
EE majors are required to take both courses. ECE340 has ECE329 as a co/pre-requisite, but their overall content does not overlap very much. Anyone who wants to take ECE340 ASAP should take these two courses when they get junior eligibility.
Workload:
Both courses just have weekly homeworks with ECE329 having 3 midterms and ECE340 with 2 midterms.
Attending lectures and good time management to start homeworks early should be plenty to be successful in both courses. The content does not overlap that much, so struggling in a topic in one class will not doom you for the other class.
Recommendation:
Taking these two courses together is the fastest way to take ECE340 and get to upper level semiconductor courses like ECE441 and ECE444, or just getting it over with.
