Recommended Tracks

• For the list of recommended tracks, refer to the
  Tracks List file
• http//www.ece.nus.edu.sg/students/secondyr/ee3li
  sts.htm
• A total of 24 (EE) and 8 (CPE) tracks are
  recommended.
• Each track recommends a number of modules core
  to that track.
• Modules listed in each specialization track are
  NOT compulsory.
• You are NOT required to read all modules listed
  in a particular track. You may mix and match
  modules to create your own track.
• Even if you have taken all modules in a track, it
  does NOT necessary mean that you have satisfied
  the specialization rules.
• Important You must ensure that rules to achieve
  breadth depth requirements (specialization
  rules based on concentration) are satisfied.
• Pay attention to pre-requisites and take modules
  in an appropriate order.
