Electives (EE) (2011 and earlier)

This page shows electives for 2011 and earlier curricula. Electives for the 2012 EE curriculum are on a different page

The courses that constitute the approved Math, ECE Junior, ECE Senior, ECE Laboratory, and Engineering/Math/Science/Business (E/M/S/B) electives for the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree are listed below. Students are encouraged to consult with their advisor when selecting elective courses.

EE Senior Sequences are listed on a separate web page.

Notes

Individual study, individual problems, individual projects, design projects, recitation, seminar, thesis and similar courses may not be counted as E/M/S/B electives. Laboratory and one-credit courses may not be taken for E/M/S/B elective credit; lecture courses which include laboratory work may be taken for E/M/S/B elective credit.
