All EE majors are strongly advised to select technical electives in a coherent manner to meet desired professional/employment goals. Twelve (12) approved EE technical elective credits are required to complete the program, and they must all be EE-400 Level. Some suggested areas of emphasis are listed below, which also identify courses outside of EE (courses outside of EE do not apply toward the required technical elective credits). Thus, students are not required to take all courses in an emphasis area. Following are some suggested areas and supporting courses.

Cooperative Education Program:


Students have the opportunity to work in industry and receive technical elective credit for the experience through EE 494 (Internship) or EE 497 (Cooperative Education). A formal work plan must be approved by the Electrical Engineering administration prior to the work experience. Further information can be found in the Program’s Internship and Cooperative Education policy, located on the program’s Web site.

Total Required Credits: 130
