ELEC 291

Electrical Engineering Design Studio I
Grade received: 87/100 (A)

Design projects involving electronic devices and circuits, electromagnetics, signals and systems, and microcomputers.

This was my favourite course at UBC so far, we essentially build a product form scratch, everything down form transistor level circuits with all the fancy laplace,fourier transforms to coding the chip in assembly to programming in OS level in embedded C. I really like the way projects in this course have no "hand-holding involved" we are just give specification and its up to us to come up with a solution. For my final project i made and designed(both hardware(PSPICE) and Software(assembly,C)) a fully functioning metal detector, with descrimination, and i got a 100/100 for it.

CPEN 400A

Large Scale Modern Web Application
Grade received: 82/100 (A-)

This is a final year elective course on building modern web applications. • Advanced Client-server model of web applications • Building complex web pages with HTML and CSS • JavaScript, DOM and event handling • Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) • server-side technologies at scale

One of the best course ive taken, but it also very intellectually challanging, since in 4XX course we also compete against grad-level students in the same class

CPEN 333

System Software Engineering
Grade received: In progress

Operating systems principles, real-time systems, principles of concurrent and multi-threaded programming, information structures, introduction to object oriented analysis, design, and modelling using UML, testing of software systems.

I have been coding since I was 10.However, its never a good idea to underestimate anything

ELEC 341

Systems and Control
Grade received: 86/100(A)

Continuous time system analysis by Laplace transforms; system modelling by transfer function and state space methods; feedback, stability and sensitivity; control design; frequency domain analysis

This course was really a cherry on top for my controls backgorund, i didn't learn anything new. We basically learned how to apply all the theory we where learing in our first two years at UBC ECE in order to design something. This course really nailed downed my understand of laplace,fourier, and the enter s-plane, now i can actully just close my eyes and visualise how a function would look in the s-place, and i just 'have a feel for' where to place the poles to make it stable. I scored the HIGHEST (35/35) in the midterm for this course in my class and i can successfully say that i know control systems now!

ELEC 342

Electro-Mechanical Energy Conversion and Transmission
Grade received: In progress

Three phase power; transformers and harmonics; magnetic materials and circuits, electromechanical energy conversion; DC machines; rotating magnetic field, AC induction and synchronous machines; variable frequency operation, brushless DC machines; stepper and single-phase motors.

This course and elec 301 have really high failure rates, main reason is 0 or 100 marking scheme, with only the final answer considered. I will have to focus on building good time management skills. A really difficult course
