Suggested Core Courses in Systems
These are courses that we suggest to choose from for your course plan, in addition to the required courses in your subarea. For your convenience, the required courses are cross-referenced. This table is not a one-size-fits-all rule base. It is intended to help you navigate the courses and make initial selection for your course plan, in the Systems area. You will need to discuss your selection with your advisor and have it approved.

Breadth Courses, Recommended in Systems
The following is a list of courses that are eligible for fulfilling the "breadth course" requirement. For your convenience, the required courses and suggested courses are cross-referenced for each subarea. This table is intended to help you navigate the courses and as a guide, in the Systems area. You will need to discuss your selection with your advisor and have it approved. We tried to include in this list all ECE courses outside of Systems, however, the list may not be exhaustive for reasons of oversight or changes. Feel free to further explore the ECE course offerings. Note also that some courses are eligible for breadth course even though they are also Systems courses.
