Courses
The following table lists ECE undergraduate courses along with the tentative schedule; graduate courses are listed elsewhere. The course title is a link to the course syllabus which contains additional information about the course. The Department will try to offer the courses as per this schedule, however due to lack of availability of faculty or funds in a semester some courses may not be offered. Courses experiencing low enrollment may be canceled.
Course management is performed by course coordinators and focus area groups which are listed on another page. Course change history and proposed changes are on other web pages.
