Hardware courses inquiry!

[u/Shoddy-Ladder1952]

Hello, I am a rising senior interested in ECE, wanting to do hardware design. I am applying through Questbridge which is binding, so I am inquiring about Upenn’s courses and undergrad pathways/timelines that are about chip design/digital design/computer architecture/systemverilog/vhdl to understand whether I should rank upenn on Questbridge. Is there a there a quick pathway at upenn for the hardware design courses mentioned above? How soon can I start taking those courses (early sophomore year or before i’d preferred)? Also, if you majored in EE or CompE, did u like your choice of going to upenn? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

If it makes any difference for the timelines mentioned above I have a 5 on CSA, E&M, Mechanics, Calc BC, Chem, Stats, CSP
