Scheduling of ENEE Courses

Word document (.doc) of "Scheduling of ENEE Courses"

The Department of Electrical Engineering will offer all courses either during Fall or Spring. Courses with high student demand will also be offered in the Summer. No classes other than Senior Design I and II will be offered both in Spring and Fall, so make sure you plan accordingly. Be aware that if you drop a class you may have to wait a year before you are able to register for it again and that no pre-requisites will be waived.

Fall Courses(19 classes total - 13 3-hr. courses, 1 1-hr. course, and 5 labs - 45 credits)
2550, 2582, 2586, 3091, 3092, 3540, 3516, 3522, 3572, 3583, 3514, 3587, 3533, 3535, 3574, 3511, elective 1, elective 2. For non-EE’s: 2500

Spring Courses(17 classes total - 12 3-hr. courses, 1 1-hr course, and 4 labs - 41 credits)
2551, 2510, 3091, 3092, 3530, 3547, 3543, 3517, 3582, 3512, 3560, 3521, elective 1, elective 2, elective 3. For non-EE’s: 3518, 3501

Note that the minimum number of electives is listed above; we could, of course, offer more.

¹To graduate with a degree in Engineering, the student must satisfy the General Degree Requirements of the University.

² Students who are exceptionally strong in math may take the two-semester sequence Mathematics 2111 (5 cr) and 2112 (5 cr) in place of the three-semester sequence Mathematics 2107 (3 cr), 2108 (3 cr), and 2109 (4 cr).

** While all courses listed must be taken to qualify for the specific degree, schedule rearrangements are certainly possible. The primary consideration is successful completion of prerequisites. Also, see the section "Course Numbering System" on the College of Engineering web site for additional information.

NOTE: The electrical engineering curriculum is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
