UofT ECE

I am doing my Bachelor of Applied Science in computer engineering at the University of Toronto between 2022 and 2027, after spending a year doing the undeclared TrackOne programme.

Second year is really cool, even for computer engineering. In terms of focus:

• ECE297 looks at a high-level what you can do with software
• ECE244 looks at lower-level use of programming languages like C++
• ECE243 looks at what goes on underneath C/C++ in machine instruction and computer architecture
• ECE241 looks at the digital logic that powers computer architecture at a lower-level
• ECE231 looks at the transistors that enables digital logic and digital hardware
• ECE212 allows us to understand the underlying analysis tools for modern transistor electronics
• ECE221 looks at the fundamental physics that enables modern circuit analysis and electronics
