Requirements for the Major
Mathematics and Science (31 Credit Hours)
Three credit hours of advanced math or science electives:
Core Computer Science (9 Credit Hours)
Core Electrical and Computer Engineering (27 Credit Hours)
Junior Electrical and Computer Engineering Sequences (18 Credit Hours)
Students should complete both of the following sequences for the Computer Engineering Specialization:
Digital Design Sequence:
From the math and science requirements, MATH 3315 is a prerequisite for this sequence.
Choose two of the following three courses:
Computer Sequence:
From the math and science requirements, 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: 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.
