The following benchmark requirements are for freshmen. There are three benchmarks and they are reviewed after you have completed 45, 60, and 90 credits.

There are two benchmarks for transfer students. The first will be reviewed after completion of your second 16-week semester and the second will be reviewed two semesters after that. The specific courses included in these benchmarks are determined by an approved graduation plan which is done in consultation with an ECE advisor during each student's first semester in ECE.
