Textbooks and Course Materials
The textbooks used for most undergraduate ECE courses can be found at the OSU bookstore on campus behind Dreese Labs; however, texts for upper-level courses will NOT be found there due to space limitations. These will primarily be found at the Barnes&Noble OSU Bookstore on High Street. All other bookstores on High Street carry many of the texts as well. If a more current edition is available than the edition on our textbook list, students should inquire as to which edition will be used prior to purchasing the text. Always make note of the return policy at your point of purchase in case of an unavoidable text change or you decide to drop a course. All course packets for courses, if applicable, are only available through the Tuttle UniPrint facility. Course Supervisors are also shown on the textbook list. Please note that they are not necessarily the current instructor for the course. Please note: NO single bookstore will carry the entire supply of texts for a course.

How to read these entries
The text printed in this font is the official "book 3" or the "course catalog". Except for correcting typographic mistakes, departments cannot change the text without going through an approval process. The process starts in the department, and goes through the college and university. However, because only departments can determine what the loading for a class will be, they are permitted to change the quarters of offering from what is printed in the catalog.

Changes which have been fully approved and are already in effect will be printed in this font. This font indicates what the course catalog would look like if it were to be reprinted today. Specific sections to ECE 694 and 894 will also be printed in this font although they don't appear in Book 3.

How to interpret "even" and "odd" designations on courses
Courses which run only every other year are marked as running even or odd years. This designation refers to the calendar year, not the academic year. For example, Au quarter 2004 is an even year but Wi quarter 2005 is an odd year although it is in the same 2004-2005 academic year.

Following links to specific courses
Many courses below have links to more specific information on that course. However, you should check with your course instructor to see if this information is current. Not all instructors have set up web pages for their class even though a previous instructor might have. Also be aware that instructors use these pages for different purposes. Some instructors put syllabi and general course information there while other instructors put homework solutions. In this latter case, the information will not be very useful to students not currently enrolled in the class.
