`
`The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department offers major programs leading to the
`bachelor of science in electrical engineering or the bachelor of science in electrical and computer
`engineering, as well as required and elective courses for students majoring in other fields.
`
`Electrical and computer engineering includes the broad range of design, construction, and
`operation of electrical components, circuits, and systems as well as the science and technology
`of design, construction, and implementation of the software and hardware components of modern
`computing systems and computer-controlled equipment. This includes sustainable energy and
`electric power, signal and image processing, embedded systems, control systems,
`nanotechnology and integrated circuits, antennas, RF and communication systems, and all
`phases of the transmission of information.
`
`Laboratories are an important part of most undergraduate courses in the electrical and computer
`engineering program. Use of appropriate laboratory equipment, design tools, and components
`demonstrates fundamental concepts of the courses and acquaints students with methods and
`tools they may use after graduation. The department has five teaching laboratories that support
`courses in electric circuits, electronics, systems, logic design, and RF and communication. In
`addition, the program has a laboratory dedicated to senior design projects. All laboratories are
`supported by the facilities of the Engineering Computing Center.
`Requirements for the Majors
`Major in Electrical Engineering
`In addition to fulfilling the undergraduate Core Curriculum for the bachelor of science degree,
`students majoring in electrical engineering must fulfill the following major requirements and
`complete a minimum of 190 units. For every required engineering and science course, if an
`associated laboratory is listed following the course description, then that laboratory is also
`required to fulfill the major requirements.

`
`completing the requirements for the bachelor's degree and typically completes the requirements
`for a master of science in electrical engineering within a year of obtaining the bachelor's degree.
`Undergraduate students interested in the combined degree program are required to apply for the
`program between February of their junior year and December of their senior year.
`
`Students in this program will receive their bachelor's degree after satisfying the full
`undergraduate degree requirements. To earn the master's degree, students must fulfill all the
`requirements for the degree, including the completion of 46 units of coursework beyond that
`applied to their bachelor's degree. No course can be used to satisfy requirements for both the
`bachelor's degree and the master's degree. However, completion of 10 or more units of
`coursework in electrical engineering taken for the master's degree satisfies the professional
`development requirement of the undergraduate program.
`
`The program of studies for the master's degree may include up to 20 units of electrical
`engineering upper-division elective coursework excluding ELEN 188 and 189. These
`undergraduate units can count toward a master's degree only if a grade of "B" or better is earned.
`Students who do not complete the combined degree program within six years of entering the
`University will automatically be transferred to the regular master's degree program. Although six
`years is the maximum timeframe for completing the combined degree, full-time students enrolling
`in February of their junior year normally complete both degrees within five years.
