ECE 342: Electronic Circuits

Note about the lecture style. There are two sections offered for this class: 9:00 am and 10:00 am section. The 9:00 am section is a hybrid section and the 10:00 am section is only an online section. The 9:00 am section will be offered sometimes as hybrid and other times only online. The lecture delivery style can be found in the table below, which is also color-coded for your convenience:

  • hybrid lectures are highlighted in green color.
  • online lectures are highlighted in blue color.
  • breaks are highlighted in orange color.
