171, 181, 182
Total (136 units)
__________
Note: Engineering majors are exempt from G.E. Area A3, third course
Area C, Area E, and Area ID.
Advising Notes
- Courses in mathematics, the physical sciences, or engineering taken CR/NC are not counted toward fulfillment of degree requirements in electrical engineering.
- Electrical engineering majors might consider a math minor (see faculty adviser for details).
- Since the electrical engineering major curriculum is very demanding, some students not fully prepared in mathematics and the physical sciences may take 4 1/2 or more years to graduate rather than the traditional 4 years. Students not fully prepared in chemistry should consider taking CHEM 3A and 4 in lieu of CHEM 1A. If needed, students may go to the Learning Resource Center in Lab School, Room 137 and request tutorial assistance.
