Engineering, Electrical-Computer Engineering Specialization, BSE


The course requirements are identical for the specializations in the first year.  Beginning in sophomore year, students have to choose whether they wish to pursue a mechanical engineering specialization or one in electrical-computer engineering. Typically, students choose and declare their specialization at the end of their first year to register appropriately for the fall of their sophomore year.

Mathematics and Science Prerequisite Courses


In order to graduate within four years, first-year students who are considering majoring in engineering must take the following mathematics and science prerequisite courses:

Engineering Electives


Students must complete three engineering electives. One of the courses may be any 200-, 300-, or 400-level EG course (except EG 495 ) for which prerequisite/corequisite requirements have been satisfied.  The other two electives must be at the 300- or 400-level. 

An example of a typical program of courses follows:


First Year


Sophomore Year


Junior Year


Senior Year

Spring Term


Notes:


  1. Students may take EG 227 /SA 227  to fulfill both the Fine Arts core and one of the required engineering electives.
  2. Engineering cannot be taken as an interdisciplinary major.
  3. Students must complete the Diversity-Justice requirement by completing two Diversity-Justice designated courses anywhere in their curriculum (see Diversity-Justice Requirement under Curriculum and Policies).
