Technical Area Courses (12 units)
Select mandatory technical area courses from the following (at least two
courses from the same group):
Electronics and Communications: ECE 134, 135, 136, 136L, 140, 162, 166,
168, 171, 176
Computers and Digital Systems: ECE 106, 107, 115, 132, 146, 148, 172, 173,
174
Power and Control Systems and Energy Conversion: ECE 151, 152, 173, ME 116
Other requirements (67 units)
--- General Education (see footnote) ---
Select one course from each of the G.E. areas: Area A1, A2, B2, C1, D1,
D2, D3. (See G. E. listings.)
The following courses are required to satisfy both G.E. and additional requirements:
MATH 75 [B4], CHEM 1A [B1], PHIL 20 [C2], ECE 114 [IB], PHIL 120 [IC], PLSI
120 [M/I]
--- Additional requirements ---
MATH 76, 77, 81
PHYS 4A; PHYS 4B, 4BL; PHYS 4C; choose one from MATH 121, 123, 152, 128,
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 in lieu of CHEM 1A. If needed, students may go to the Learning Resource Center in Lab School, Room 137 and request tutorial assistance.
