There are a lot to say about my very, very fruitful undergraduate studies. Let’s start with the classes I took.

I took 23-28 credits1 in each regular (Fall or Spring) semester, except in Year 1 (when I wasn’t allowed to overload too much). I diversified my COMP, ELEC, MATH, business and common core classes throughout the years. The complete list of courses is below:

(Note: 0-credit and/or non-letter-graded courses (e.g. seminars) are not listed.)

Footnotes

  1. One course is typically 3 credits, and the normative load is 15-18 credits per semester. ↩

  2. Although ELEC5300 bears the title “Stochastic Processes” just like MATH5450, the former is really a course about “Statistical Signal Processing”. ↩

  3. The Integrated Final Year Thesis is a year-long project that spans two semesters and fulfills the requirements for both the COMP and ELEC engineering majors. ↩
