MTE 220 pre-crying thread 8 points, 18 comments

“Barby have mercy on my soul Any upper year trons have tips for the final? There's so much to memorize, I don't know what to focus on”

u/thisuseris_taken: “MTE 220 is the only "circuits" course tron has. Not sure why people hate on barby, but everything he said is applicable to the industry. You will realize this later (like I did). …”

u/alt-goldgrun: “My friend in tron is taking ECE671 (Microwave and RF Engineering) next term, and has not taken extra circuits courses in 3A and 3B that I know of. …”

Thoughts on taking engineering grad course as an undergrad engineering student? 7 points, 9 comments

“Wondering how realistic it is to take a grad course as an elective with a normal undergrad engineering course load.”

u/EngSciGuy: “… Just take ECE 473 instead of ECE 671 (both microwave engineering). Though if wanting to take something like Stochastic Processes or some of the fab/nano/quantum stuff it could be worth it. It can be a bit heavier of a work load though so keep that in mind. …”

Which course to take (ECE graduate) 6 points, 10 comments

“Hi there, I'm already fully loaded with research, but I need to subscribe a course, so I'd like one that's not that hard. Which one would you recommend? …”

u/scasagrande: “I know you didn't list it, but ECE 671 Microwave & RF Engineering with Prof Mansour is great. I took it in fall 2011 and loved it. There was 3 straight forward assignments, 1 project that was pretty neat, and a final exam.”
