Overview & Explanation

Effective with the Spring 2006 term, a curriculum change will be implemented for the 300-level courses in the microelectronics area. The content from ENEE 302-Digital Electronics and ENEE 312-Semiconductor Devices and Analog Electronics has been incorporated into a new course, ENEE 303-Analog and Digital Electronics(3sh). ENEE 303 will be a required course for both electrical and computer engineering majors.

In addition, ENEE 306-Electronic Circuit Design Laboratory has been revised into a new lab course, ENEE 307(2sh), also titled Electronics Circuits Design Laboratory. ENEE 303 and ENEE 307 must be taken concurrently. ENEE 307 is also a required course for both EE and CP majors and will satisfy the category D-Advanced Lab requirement for computer engineer. ENEE 204 is a prerequisite for both ENEE 303 and ENEE 307.

ENEE 313-Introduction to Device Physics(3sh) includes the device physics taken out of ENEE 312, which has been expanded upon. ENEE 313 will be a required course for electrical engineering major but not computer engineers. However, ENEE 313 will satisfy the Category C: "Advanced EE Theory Elective." ENEE 204 is a prerequisite to ENEE 313. ENEE 312 will be offered in Fall 2006 for the final time.

Making the Transition

If you have satisfactorily completed ENEE 302 and intended to take ENEE306 as your Category-D Advanced Lab, but have not yet completed ENEE 306, then you must enroll and successfully complete ENEE 306 during the Spring 2006 or Fall 2006 semester.

If you are unsuccessful in your first attempt at ENEE 302 and do not satisfactorily completed ENEE 302 prior to Spring 2006 then you should coming into the ECE Office of Undergraduate Studies to meet with an academic advisors for guidance on how to register for Spring 2006.

If you have already or will satisfactorily complete ENEE 302 prior to the Spring 2006 term and intend to use ENEE 312 for your category C elective then you must enroll in ENEE 312 during the Spring 2006, Summer 2006, or Fall 2006 term. ENEE 312 will not be offered after the Fall 2006. (Again, ENEE 312/313 is requird of those majoring in electrical engineering but not of those majoring comnputer engineering.)

You must satisfactorily completed ENEE 206 before you can enroll in ENEE 303, ENEE 307 or ENEE 313.

Timetable for Course Introduction/Elimination of Courses

The timetable for the introduction of the new courses and the phasing-out of the existing courses appears below. An 'X' indicates the course will be offered during that term.

If you have questions please consult the appropriate revised Computer Engineering Roadmap for guidance with your Spring course selection or come into see an advisor.
