EE Technical Electives
Electrical Engineering
All electrical engineering majors must complete a range of technical electives designed to ensure they have the appropriate breadth and depth of training. This includes courses in the necessary theory and applications of electrical engineering principles, a rigorous advanced laboratory experience, and a sophisticated and sustained exposure to engineering design. A total of 13 credits of 400-level ENEE technical electives must be completed and distributed among the following categories:
Category A. Advanced Theory and Applications: minimum of 3 credits
Category B. Advanced Laboratory: minimum of 2 credits
Category C. Capstone Design: minimum of 3 credits
In addition, students must satisfy the Specialty Area Requirement. This entails completing at least two courses from a single area of concentration within electrical engineering. ECE has six such Specialty Areas.
Please read carefully and make a note of the following special cases and restrictions:
- Specialty Area Requirement
- Students falling under the Specialty Area Requirement must complete at least two courses from a single area of concentration within electrical engineering. ECE has six such Specialty Areas.
- Freshman matriculating during or after Fall 2008 must complete this Specialty Area Requirement.
- Students who matriculated prior to Fall 2008 are not required to satisfy this requirement unless they have chosen to satisfy the General Technical Electives requirement.
- ENEE 499: Senior Projects in Electrical Engineering
- A maximum of five credits of ENEE 499:" Senior Projects in Electrical Engineering" may be used to satisfy the electrical engineering technical electives.
- All ENEE499 project proposals must be approved by the project supervisor and the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies.
- ENEE499 cannot be used to satisfy the List C:" Capstone Design" requirement.
- For further details and instructions as well as the ENEE499 registration form please visit the ENEE499 website.
- Additional Capstone Design Courses
- If more than one capstone design course is successfully completed, it can be used for your Category A: Theory and Applications requirement.
- Alternatively, an extra capstone design courses can be used to satisfy the Category B: Advanced Laboratory requirement provided one of the capstone courses is: ENEE 408A, 408B, 408C, or 408F.
- ENEE 408A and ENEE 459A
- ENEE 408A and 459A together satisfy both the Capstone Design and Advanced Laboratory requirements.
If you have any questions on how these requirements might affect your current selection of senior EE electives then please contact an advisor.
