Other requirements (65 units)
--- General Education (see footnote) ---
Select one course from each of the G.E. areas: Area A1, A2, C1, D1, D2.
(See G. E. listings.)
The following courses are required to satisfy both G.E. and additional requirements:
MATH 75 [B4], CHEM 3A [B1], PHIL 1 or 10 [C2], ECE 186B [IB], PHIL 120 [IC],
PLSI 120 or BA 104 [M/I], ECON 40 or 50 [D3], BIOL 10 [B2]
--- Additional requirements ---
MATH 76, 77, 81
PHYS 4A; PHYS 4B, 4BL; PHYS 4C; choose one from MATH 121, 123, 152, 128,
171, 181, 182 (see Advising Notes)
Total (130 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).
- All electrical engineering students must consult with their academic adviser at least once each year.
- The Upper-Division Writing Skills requirements can be met by passing the university examination or completing an upper-division writing course with a letter grade of C or better no sooner than the term in which 60 units of coursework are completed. The writing course units are not counted toward the required 130 program units.
- ENGR 101 may be taken instead of MATH 81.
- The prerequisites for ECE 186A are ECE 85, 85L, 90, 90L, 102, 118, 124, 128, 128L; one lab from ECE 119LA, 119LB, 120L, 121L, 138L; and two courses from ECE 121, 134, 138, 155.
- Students must enroll in and complete ECE 1 and ECE 2 during the first two semesters of attendance at Fresno State.
Prerequisites: Students violating any course prerequisites may
be required to take an additional course (if they earned a C) or repeat
a course (if they earned a D or less.) Repeated violations of prerequisites
may trigger disciplinary action.
