I've wanted to do the same for a while now, but I'm unable to find a curriculum that lists the textbook for each subject.

It looks like the article author is just "guessing" textbooks. I'm browsing the U. Waterloo curriculum and it doesn't specify any books.

The article is still useful, don't get me wrong, but I would love to see a list of the textbooks that are actually used at a university program. I've Googled it many times and I only find the names of the courses.

About 1/2 of the textbooks came from the old course outlines (e.g. https://ece.uwaterloo.ca/~ece207/) and class shopping lists on UWaterloo book store. About 1/4 were guesses, and the other 1/4 I don't know where to even start looking.

The higher the course the lower the confidence of having the right book.
