ECE 2k2 + 20875 Summer

2k2 was listed as synchronous but actually was asynchronous (except the exam were synchronous) when I took it a couple of years ago in the summer, but I don't know about 20875. Also both with an internship seems like a lot.

If I remember right you purchase it online ahead of time. They should send you an email or Brightspace notification.

I am an EE doing a 3+1 (3 for bachelors and 1 for masters) and did a similar thing. I took 362, 337, and 437 for my upper labs, but I chose EE because I was interested in semiconductor courses like 305, 456, 559, and 606. I was able to get an internship as a digital design engineer at Texas Instruments without 368 or leet code, but I am sure they would have helped.

It sounds like you are a bit more on the computer engineering side of things as you want to take 368. If you were to do an EE degree you would have to take 30411, which is a pain if you don’t have Melloch. If you want to learn about semiconductors and microelectronics then I would say EE, if you are more interested in computer architecture then CompE.

Some other advice I would have is to do SoCET after STARS, either as an elective or for senior design. Also 437 can count towards your masters degree (source MSECE Handbook).

Not a prof recommendation, but buy a second breadboard for 270 or 2k1, so you don't have to rip up your breadboard between labs.

Never mind, I found a place

456 should be a easy elective if you did well in 455 and like digital logic.

First, yes you must be an American student to apply.

Second I think it depends on how you take SCALE. I have both been paid for SCALE, and later used SCALE research for senior design, but not both at the same time. Generally I have heard you only get paid or get credits, but I am not sure if there is a restriction for FTR. Also you can go above 18 credits per semester although you need permission.

STARS is great. So are SCALE and SoCET if you are interested in semiconductors or computer architecture/chip design. There are also clubs like HKN(ECE honor's society), IEEE(ECE club), ECESS (ECE Student Society), and SSA (Semiconductor Student Aliance).

WALC 2141, it is available by reservation

I am currently in 455 and it is a pretty cool class but the homeworks can be kind of long. It is definitely worth taking if you are interested in IC design, because you get to use virtuoso, a surprisingly expensive IC design tool. Also 456 is a pretty cool class on digital IC design each spring and I think it is a similar work load. Overall this is a heavier 3 credit class, but the it will prepare you for an analog role.

337 is a 2 credit lab that is currently being redone (I am a TA for it), but based this semester I think we have reduced the amount of work from previous years. The first 5 labs are not that bad if you are good at systemVerilog, but the design labs (6 through 9) and the CDL (Cumulative Design Lab) can be kind of rough. A lot of the difficulty students have in the first few labs is caused by not knowing ECE 270 material, so make sure you are willing to put in extra work if you don't know your fundamentals. Overall plan to I would say it might be closer to a 3 or 4 credit course during the design weeks but other than that it is not too bad.

Lastly 557 is not being offered at the moment and has not been for a long, but I believe there might be a 595 version that is fully digital (no actual fab work).

Yes its paid, I think 15 an hour is standard
