Notes:

** An advanced laboratory course must be taken prior to EE 464C/H/K. For computer engineering majors, the advanced laboratory is EE 345L, which is a required course in the computer engineering curriculum. Electrical engineering majors would choose from a possible list of advanced laboratory courses, which would include EE 321, EE 321K, EE 440, EE 345L, EE 345S, EE 362L, and EE 374L. Electrical engineering majors may count the advanced laboratory course as a technical area elective.

Students must pass a total of three courses that meet the substantial writing component requirement. Typically, EE students take EE 333T, EE 155, and EE 464C/H/K to fulfill this requirement. Note that E 306 and E 316K do not have substantial writing components.


Comparison with the 1998-2000 Comp. Eng. Curriculum

Four courses were added as required courses:

EE 366 Engineering Economics I is put in place of the engineering science elective. EE 366 is similar ME 353 Engineering Economic Analysis, which was on the list of acceptable technical electives in the 1998-2000 catalog.

One courses was required in the 2000-2002 catalog would become a free elective:

Seven courses were required in the 2000-2002 catalog would become technical area electives: EE 438 is EE 338 from the 2000-2002 catalog plus a laboratory component.

The total number of hours for the BS Comp. Eng. degree would be reduced from 128 to 123.
