No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1970–71 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Discrete and continuous signals, convolution, network equations, simulation graphs, Fourier series and transform, frequency response of networks, Laplace transformation, z-transform.
As printed in the 1990–91 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

So uhm.. What do I do? 2 points, 25 comments
“This is kinda late.. but Back in May, I accepted my offer to go into ECE. At the time I thought I would love hardware and power systems and such. …”
u/AL31N: “… The new curriculum removes ECE 242/342 for CEs which is useless for most CEs and there's more CE related courses to pick. So basically, most hardware stuff you deal with will be in RTL or above after ECE 240. …”

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.”
