livychan1103,
Thanks for the quick answer.

I want to be done with physics before I start with the ECE courses. I plan to take ECE 2300 second semester. I’m not worried about early insight into ECE as I’m currently very involved in electronics and there’s no chance of me not majoring in ECE.

Lelyke,
Hi! I’ve read on other threads where other seniors have said to skip PHYS 2213 and have said that whatever is required will be covered again in the specific ECE courses. Also, if you’ve applied calculus in any of the “applied math” modules (for me, I had it in M3 and M4; btw I did Edexcel A Levels), calculus application should be no problem. I’ve gone through the “University Physics” book and there isn’t anything you can’t quickly self-learn when necessary. So, it’s better to skip PHYS 2213 and revise the material later if/when necessary.

As I’m more inclined to the just electronics part, than the computer part, I’ve been told that MATLAB can be more useful. I know Visual BASIC and a little of C, so I’m not worried about computer programming. Hence, I feel that MATLAB would be more useful.
