- 1994–95
No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1993–94 to 1994–95 (before that, 1970–71 to 1976–77 used the number for Electric Networks 1 and Electrical Networks 1); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
An introductory level course on circuit analysis techniques for use in circult design. The course covers linear circult analysis and design in detail and touches on extensions for circuits with simple nonlinearities such as opamps, diodes and transistors. 1Alternate weeks
As printed in the 1993–94 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

Why did you choose your program? 9 points, 99 comments
u/Frozen-Placenta: “Was set on computer engineering back in grade 10 since I wanted to learn how to make computer parts. Lost interest, wanted to do mechanical. Changed my mind, wanted to learn more about power systems. …”
u/Frozen-Placenta: “… Here is an ECE example of practical work: http://www.ece.utoronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/ECE241-syllabus-fall-2014.pdf This is the UofT equivalent to ECE 124. …”

Any mech eng doing/done the tron option? 1 point, 6 comments
“I just wanna know if there are any mech eng that are doing/done the tron option. I wanna know what courses you took to complete the option (ECE or MTE courses?) and if doing the option itself was …”
u/annihilatron: “… - ECE241 - you must manually select this - abandon all hope if you get J. Barby. This is a generally easy course, but there are certain profs that are absolute assjerks in this. …”

Engineers of r/uwaterloo, which engineering program is, in your opinion, the most difficult? 8 points, 51 comments
“Which program is the easiest, the hardest, the one that requires the most work outside of class, and the one that has the worst or best co-op jobs?”
[deleted]: “I've heard ECE often be called the hardest. No way to really prove this. But basically all engineering at UW is going to be really hard. ECE has shit tons of jobs. …”
u/rcfox: “You're going to tell me what my experience was? Here we go: 1A - MATH117, PHYS115 1B - MATH119, ECE100, PHYS125 2A - MATH211, 2B - ECE204, ECE241 3A - ECE342 3B - ECE318, ECE380 4A - ECE484, ECE486 4B - ECE444, SYDE750 I might have been a bit of a masochist.”
