ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING

-- ABET Accreditation Criteria Apply --

The Departmental Requirements for a degree in Electrical Engineering include a core set of courses required of every major and a set of alternative specialty areas from which one sequence must be chosen. Students are required to have a program planning sheet approved by their advisor and the department at least one year prior to graduation. Each program of study is also expected to include both chemistry and physics as part of science and ordinary differential equations as part of math. The specific math and science requirements for EE's are listed below. The program is also to include the equivalent of half a year of engineering design experience.

To place the requirements in context, possible programs of study are given which satisfy all requirements for the BS degree in EE. Students with advanced placement will have greater freedom in course selection than is shown on the example program. Those considering studying at one of the foreign centers should consult the Overseas Study Office as soon as possible for this will add constraints in program planning. All students are expected to consult their faculty advisor, are encouraged to consult the Electrical Engineering Undergraduate Advising Center, and they may find it useful to consult other students when designing their program.

MATH AND SCIENCE REQUIREMENTS:

MATH:

41, 42, 51, 52, 53 25 Units

SCIENCE:

Physics 41, 43, 45, 47 13 Units

Chemistry 31 4 Units

Approved Math or Science Elec. 3 Units

TOTAL: 45 UNITS

If a student has 10 units of calculus advanced placement credit (a score of 4 or 5 on the BC calculus advanced placement exam), then Math 51, 52, 53 can be substituted for 43, 44, 103, and 130.

E40 5 units

E70X (CS106X) 5 units

3 from approved list 9-12 units

FUNDAMENTAL UNITS 19-22 UNITS

CORE COURSES REQUIRED OF ALL MAJORS:

Circuits and Systems EE101, EE102, EE103 11 units

Electronics EE111, EE112, EE113 11 units

Laboratory EE121, EE122 6 units

Technical Writing E102E 1 unit

Fields and Waves EE141 4 units

TOTAL CORE UNITS: 33 UNITS

THREE COURSES FROM ONE OF THE SPECIALTY AREAS

LISTED BELOW:

Computer Hardware EE184 (CS107), EE182, (EE183 or EE281), EE271

Computer Software EE184 (CS107), EE189A (CS108), EE189B (CS194)

Controls E105, EE205 (E205), EE206 (E206), EE209 (E209)

Electronics EE133, EE212, EE214, EE216

Fields and Waves EE142, EE144, EE241, EE242, EE246, EE247, EE252

Signal Processing EE133, EE261, EE264, EE177 (STAT 116), EE278

TOTAL SPECIALTY UNITS 9-12 UNITS

ELECTIVES IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING: 4-10 UNITS

(Any EE courses to make the total add to 71 units)

TOTAL ENGINEERING UNITS: 71 UNITS

(Fundamental + Core + EE Specialty + EE Electives)

* At least one of the following design projects must be included in each program:

EE133, EE144, EE183, EE281, EE189B (CS194), EE206 (E206), EE272A

Each program must include the ABET accreditation requirements of 68 units of Engineering Topics and 8 units of experimentation. The Engineering Topics include Engineering Science and Engineering Design with an integrated design experience through the curriculum and one design project course. All the above courses must be taken for a letter grade. A list of corresponding content for most courses is given in the table on the following page.

The next two tables provide the total units, the division of engineering science and engineering design units, and the experimentation units. Note that with the exception of E70X, the sum of engineering science units and engineering design units gives the total number of units. The experimentation units are counted separately and are used only for the ABET Laboratory units requirement.

Following these tables a generic sample or typical program is provided. The general program is followed by sample programs for each of the EE undergraduate specialty sequences. These examples are provided to assist in planning a complete program. The complete programs are followed by examples of partial or complete School of Engineering Undergraduate Program Sheets. The first shows only the courses required for all EE undergraduates, and the remaining examples show sample programs for each of the EE undergraduate specialty sequences. Students are required to submit a completed Undergraduate Program Sheet to the EE Department for approval at least one year before graduation.
