Peer Legacy for ECE495

All students who are taking/have previously taken ECE495 are welcome to use this page to leave comments/give advice to the students currently taking the class or to those who are considering taking this class.

• I took ECE 495 as a VIP research project, and it was an extremely rewarding experience. If you are interested in research, then this is definitely a good way to go for senior year. The projects are pretty much geared to solving open-ended problems which is different from other courses, where you already kinda know how to approach the solution before you begin solving the problem, and so I found it much more akin to real research. Be warned though; if you are taking this class to get an easy A and intend to slack off

a)you are wasting valuable research time

b)they will know at the end that you slacked off because there is a final presentation very similar to a grad prelim:)Dlamba 14:38, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

• • Dhruv, is there more than one ECE495 course? Hersh just created a course wiki for ECE495:Fundamentals of Nanoelectronics taught by Prof. Datta. THat sounds like a different course than what you took. --Mboutin 17:55, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
  • ECE 495 is used for all new undergraduate courses, regardless of level. The Fundamentals of Nanoelectronics is probably getting renamed to ECE 453 and that will be the permanent number for that course. I will confirm with Professor Gray and make changes. For this semester it is under ECE 495. - Hlalwani 11:55pm, 23 November 2009
