+ A grade of "C" or better is required in these courses.
* Nine hours of electives must be selected from University Core Curriculum courses. Three of these hours must be in visual and performing arts, three hours in humanities, and three hours in social and behavioral sciences. At least 12 hours must be selected from one of the concentrations described below. Approved technical electives must be selected from upper-level courses in Engineering or Computer Science or the Biological or Physical Sciences.
+0>Concentrations
Each concentration lists courses that permit students to develop a specialization or pursue particular career objectives. In satisfying the requirements of a concentration, students will complete an in-depth program of current interest to electrical engineering. Students should select a concentration prior to completion of the junior year and plan their course of study in order to satisfy any prerequisite for courses within their chosen concentration. Most concentration courses are offered only once each academic year. By careful selection of electives, students may obtain more depth in their chosen concentration or develop breadth in electrical engineering. Students may petition their advisor for course substitution within the concentration.
