Any student majoring in electrical engineering who accumulate a total of five (5) letter grades of D's and F's in mathematics, science, or engineering courses that are used to satisfy graduation requirements will be required to undergo special advising as per the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering's By-Laws (available in the ECE office).
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, 430, 450, and (b) technical electives: 9 credits from ECE 413, 432, 445, 452, 455.
The Integrated Circuit Design emphasis prepares students for careers in the field of integrated circuit design. It includes courses in analog and digital integrated circuit at both the system and transistor level. Students should take a total of 18 credits from the following: (a) core courses: 13 credits from ECE 410, 411, 415, 445, 460 and (b) technical electives: 3 credits from ECE 412, 413, 416, 417, 440, 452, 470, 476.
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, 423, 427 and 450, and (b) 3 core credits from: 410, 430, 440, and (c) 3 additional credits of technical electives.
