  • Took with Kami in Spring 2026. Topic was Computer Security. Shared lectures with ECE458.
    The course covered a lot of (very useful and insightful) topics and is definitely a breadth course instead of a depth course.
    Overall, would recommend!

  • (Topic: Mining & Analysis of SE Data). The professor is really good at guiding discussions and if you put in the time, you'll definitely learn a lot through this course. The workloads are what you make of it and the content is fairly relevant to industry despite being based in academia. Would definitely recommend, especially if the class size is small.

  • (ECE750 T28) Very useful course, but a background in logic is absolutely required.

Engineering technical elective suggestions? 0 points, 5 comments

“I'm in 4A SYDE this fall 2016 and was wondering if anyone knows of some moderately easy technical electives that don't have too much math and physics in them? Greatly appreciate the help!”

u/AL31N: “If you're interested in software side of things, ECE 750 is offered in Fall by W. Golab. It's essentially the same course as ECE 454 (Introduction to Distributed Systems).”

u/greywolfsicle: “I thought ECE 750 was the advanced distributed systems course by him, not the introductory one?”
