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 2000-2002 EE Curriculum

Three courses were added as required courses:

EE 306 Introduction to Computing (new course)
EE 322C Data Structures (new course)
EE 366 Engineering Economics I (revised course)

EE 366 Engineering Economics I is put in place of the engineering science elective. EE 366 is similar to ME 353 Engineering Economic Analysis, which was on the list of acceptable engineering science electives in the 2000-2002 catalog.

One courses that used to be required would become a free elective:

CH 301 Chemistry I

Four courses that used to be required would become technical area electives:

PHY 355 Modern Physics for Engineers
EE 321 Electronics Laboratory
EE 321K Mixed Signal and Circuits Laboratory (formerly Electrical Engineering Laboratory II in the 2000-2002 catalog)
EE 338K Electronic Circuits II

EE 438 is EE 338 from the 2000-2002 catalog plus a laboratory component.

The number of technical electives is reduced from two to one.

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