TECHNICAL ELECTIVES are 3000 or above level courses in Math, Engineering, or the sciences after the approval by ELEG advisor. CSCE 2014, Programming 2, CSCE 2214, Computer Organization, and SEVI 5213 Business Foundations for Entrepreneurs are allowable non-ELEG technical electives. Courses not eligible for technical elective credit include ELEG 3903, ELEG 3933 and any history courses in math and the sciences (e.g., MATH 3133) .
Students should become very familiar with the Academic Regulations chapter for university requirements that apply to the electrical engineering program as well as the College of Engineering requirements (in particular the “D rule” and the “Transfer of Credit” for courses taken at another institution). Students are required to complete 40 hours of upper division courses (3000-4000 level). It is recommended that students consult with their adviser when making course selections. In addition to these graduation requirements, candidates for an electrical engineering degree must have earned a grade-point average of no less than 2.00 on all ELEG courses.
