Notes on Scheduling:

(Note for Undergraduate Microwave I students) Please note that students wishing to take both ECE 3110, Engineer Electronics II, and ECE 5320, Microwave Engineering I, to fulfill breadth or elective courses for their undergraduate electrical engineering degrees must take these courses in the fall semesters of different years, as they are taught on the same meeting pattern in fall semesters. This schedule is necessary in order to maximize the limited space available in the microwave laboratory, which is used by both ECE 3300 and ECE 5320 in fall semesters, and also to avoid scheduling ECE 5320 on top of other upper-division classes.

(Note for Undergrad Wireless Comm or Numerical Methods students) ECE 3530 (which is required for undergrads) is taught the same time as these courses. This means most students will be able to take either Wireless or Numerical, but not both. They are taught alternate years. Choose which you want to take, see which year (even/odd) it is taught, and take ECE3530 on the OTHER year.
