Upper-division engineering science elective chosen from Engr 320, Engr 335, Engr 350, Engr 428, Math 428, or Phys 428 (3 cr)
Technical electives taken from upper-division Engineering, Math, Physics, Statistics, and Computer Science courses. Students may request, after approval by their academic advisor and the Petition Committee, to use other upper division technical courses in the College of Science or in Engineering Management (EM) in partial fulfillment of this requirement. Of these eighteen credits a minimum of twelve credits must be selected from electrical engineering courses including at least nine credits from the follow courses: ECE 410 or ECE 418, ECE 420, ECE 430, ECE 440 or ECE 443, ECE 450 and ECE 460 or ECE 465. (18 cr)
Courses to total 128 credits for this degree, not counting Engl 101, Math 143, and other courses that might be required to remove deficiencies.
Students majoring in electrical engineering must earn a grade of P in ECE 292 and a grade of C or better in each of the following courses for graduation and before registration is permitted in upper-division electrical and computer engineering courses: Chem 111, CS 120, ECE 210, ECE 211, ECE 212, ECE 213, ECE 240 and ECE 241; Engr 210, and Engr 220; Math 170, Math 175, Math 275, and Math 310; and Phys 211, Phys 212. Students majoring in electrical engineering or computer engineering must meet the college requirements for admission to classes (see "Admission to Classes" under College of Engineering, part four).
Any student majoring in electrical engineering may accumulate no more than five (5) letter grades of D’s and F’s in mathematics, science, or engineering courses that are used to satisfy graduation requirements. Included in this number are multiple repeats of a single class or single repeats in multiple classes and courses transferred from other institutions. Specifically excluded are D or F grades from laboratory sections associated with courses.
Within the constraints on choice of technical electives noted above, students may choose sets of electives to develop proficiencies in certain areas of emphasis. Three such areas are currently available, one in communications, one in integrated circuit design, and one in power. The course requirements for each of these areas are described below.
The Communications emphasis prepares students for a variety of careers in the communications industry. Students should take a total of 18 credits from the following: (a) core courses: 9 credits from ECE 410, ECE 430, ECE 450, and (b) technical electives: 9 credits from ECE 413, ECE 432, ECE 445, ECE 452, ECE 455.
The Microelectronics emphasis prepares students for variety careers in the semiconductor industry. It includes courses in analog/RF and mixed-signal integrated circuit (IC) design, semiconductors, and IC packaging. Students should take a total of 18 credits from the following: (a) 6 required credits: ECE 410, ECE 460, and (b) 3 core credits: ECE 413, ECE 415, ECE 418, and (c) 3 credits of ECE 440, ECE 430, ECE 450 and ECE 465, and (d) 6 additional credits of technical electives from ECE 413, ECE 415, ECE 417, ECE 418, ECE 419, ECE 445, ECE 462, ECE 465.
The Power emphasis prepares students for a variety of careers with electric utilities, consulting firms, and with manufacturing and design firms. Students should take a total of 18 credits from the following: (a) 12 credits: ECE 420, ECE 422, ECE 427 and ECE 450, and (b) 3 core credits from: ECE 410, ECE 430, ECE 440, and (c) 3 additional credits of technical electives.
