2024-2025 Undergraduate Catalog
Electrical and Computer Engineering, B.S.E.C.E.
|
|
The electrical and computer engineering curriculum is administered by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
SMU Degree Requirements
An SMU undergraduate degree requires a minimum of 120 credit hours and must include completion of the University’s Common Curriculum, one major and a combination of electives and/or other majors or minors. Completion of certain majors requires more than 120 hours to finish the degree. The credit hours within this curriculum are distributed as follows:
|
Requirements for the Major
Mathematics and Science (31 Credit Hours)
Nine credit hours of advanced math or science electives
Choose three (3) from the following:
Chosen courses must align with chosen junior electrical and computer engineering sequence as indicated below.
Core Computer Science (9 Credit Hours)
Core Electrical and Computer Engineering (27 Credit Hours)
Junior Electrical and Computer Engineering Sequences (16-18 Credit Hours)
Choose two sequences from the four sequences listed below (students in accelerated pathways, may substitute equivalent ECE 73XX course for listed ECE 53XX course):
Power Engineering Sequence
From the math and science options, MATH 3302 is a prerequisite for this sequence.
Electronic Circuits Sequence
From the math and science options, PHYS 3305 or PHYS 3306 is a prerequisite for this sequence.
Digital Design Sequence
From the math and science options, MATH 3315 is a prerequisite for this sequence.
Choose two of the following three courses:
Computer Sequence
From the math and science options, CS 2353 is a prerequisite for this sequence.
Advanced ECE Depth (6 Credit Hours)
- Any 53xx ECE or CS course or ECE/CS 73XX for students in accelerated pathways
- Any 53xx ECE or CS course or ECE/CS 73XX for students in accelerated pathways or ECE 4396 - Senior Thesis
Senior Design Sequence (6 Credit Hours)
Total for the Major Only: 95-97 Credit Hours
Note: ECE 8000-level courses are primarily for graduate students but may be taken by highly qualified undergraduates with the approval of the adviser and the instructor. Special topics courses also are available.
Each student is expected to complete and file a plan of study with his or her academic adviser. The plan should state specific choices to meet the foregoing requirements and develop an area of concentration when concentration is desired.
