| Program Specific Requirements |
- Repeating any ECE course for which a grade of F, L, or WF has been recorded requires a grade of C- or better in prerequisites for the course.
- Dismissal from the program will be recommended if any required course in the program is taken twice without achieving a passing grade. This includes courses where a grade of AU, L, W, or WF is received.
- To obtain a BS in Electrical Engineering, a student must: (1) meet all University academic requirements; (2) meet all Electrical Engineering curriculum requirements; and (3) have a GPA of 2.0 or better in all ECE courses.
- Any exceptions to the program specifics listed above require approval of the ECE faculty

ECE and Technical Electives
|
Starting with the class of 2013, the curriculum requires
four ECE Electives to broaden a
student’s knowledge base in
Electrical
Engineering or to specialize in an area such as: Microelectronics, Sensors,
Power, Computer Hardware, Communica-
tions or Signal Processing. These four courses must be 300–level or higher
ECE Courses (exclusive of ECE 394) and
three of the four courses must satisfy the EE Focus
Requirement.
Courses
which satisfy the EE Focus requirement
are:
- ECE323 Electric Power Conversion
- ECE383 Communications Engineering
- ECE427 Electric Power Systems III
- ECE444 Analog Integrated Circuit Design
- ECE445 Analysis and Design of Digital Integrated Circuits
- ECE453 Microwave Engineering
- ECE462 Introduction to Basic Semiconductor Devices and Associated Circuit
Models
- ECE464 Microelectronics Science and Engineering
- ECE465 Introduction to Sensors
- ECE466 Sensor Technology and Instrumentation
- ECE484 Communications Engineering II
- ECE498 Selected Topics in ECE with EE Focus
Starting with the class of 2013, the curriculum requires
two open Technical Electives
to broaden a student’s technical
knowledge base or to further specialization in a specific area. These two
Technical Electives may be selected from:
300–level or higher ECE Courses, including ECE 394; 300–level or higher
courses from Math, Physics, Biology,
Chemistry, Engineering, or Computer Science; or selected from the following
200–level courses: COS 221, CHB 200,
MEE 150, MEE 230, MEE 252, MEE 270, or CIE 231. For students pursuing a
minor in Business Administration,
the two Techical Electives can be satisfied by taking BUA 325 and BUA 350
with the provision that upon graduation,
the student also satisfies all requirements for the Business minor. Other
courses may be permitted but require writen
approval from the ECE Department Chair.
Prior to 2013, the curriculum requires five Technical Elective courses to broaden a student's knowledge base or to specialize in an area such as: Microelectronics, Sensors, Computer Hardware, Communications or Signal Processing.
At least three of the Technical Electives must be 300 Level or higher ECE Courses (exclusive of ECE 394).
With approval of the student's advisor, two of the Technical Electives may be ECE 394 or selected from various advanced Math, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Science, Computer Science, or Business courses.

| HV&SC and Ethics Electives |
In addition to CMJ 103, the curriculum requires five
courses to complete the General Education Requirements in Ethics and
Human Values and Social Context (HV&SC). In addition to the Ethics requirement,
the five areas under HV&SC are: Western Cultural Tradition, Social Contexts
and Institutions, Cultural Diversity and International Perspective,
Population and the Environment, and Artisitic and Creative Expression.
Note that CMJ 103 satisfies the Social Contexts and Institutions requirement.
A list of HV&SC courses with the categories that they satisify are available
on the Office
of Student Records web page. The structure of the ECE curriculum
guarantees that all other General Education Requirements are met. You
may elect to take ERS 102 or BIO 222/223 to satisfy your Basic Science
requirement and part of the 18 credit hour HV\&SC requirement. This
option frees up 3 credit hours which can be used to take an additional
Technical Elective. All General Education Requirements with individual
links to specific categories are available on this
web page. |
| |
|
| Basic Engineering Electives |
Prior to 2013,
the Curriculum requires at least one engineering course, outside of the department, to broaden a student's knowledge base in engineering.
Courses satisfying the Basic Engineering Elective include:
|
- CHB200 Fundamentals of Process Engineering
- CIE231 Fundamentals of Environmental Engineering
- MEE150 Applied Mechanics: Statics
- MEE230 Thermodynamics I
- MEE252 Statics and Strength of Materials
|
| |
|
| Basic Science Electives |
In addition to CHY 121/123, PHY 121 and PHY 122, the Curriculum requires at least one additional physical or biological science course with a lab to broaden a student's knowledge base in science.
Courses satisfying the Basic Science Electives include:
|
- BIO222/223 Biology
- CHY122/124 Chemistry II + Lab
- ERS101 or ERS102 Geology
- AST110 with either AST215 or AST216 Astronomy (note: AST109 is not acceptable)
- PHY 236/223 Modern Physics and Special Relativity
