Catalog-year variations:
- Students admitted to EECE in 2024 need only complete 5 classes (20 credits) of Higher-Level EECE Electives, and these students may not use EECE 444 as a Higher-Level EECE Elective since it was a required core course.
- Students admitted to EECE in 2024 or 2025 are required to take 3 Higher-Level EECE Elective courses in their chosen concentration.
- Students admitted to EECE in 2026 and beyond are encouraged (but not required) to take 3 Higher-Level EECE Elective courses in a chosen technical track.
Approved Technical Electives
The following courses are pre-approved to satisfy the 15 credit technical elective requirement.
Notes/Exceptions:
- 📐 At least 3 credits must be from a mathematics or basic science course, which are indicated with 📐.
- ★ Historically popular courses are denoted by ★.
- Other courses may count with advisor and EECE approval.
- Courses may not be double counted to simultaneously fulfill the Higher Level EECE Elective and the technical elective requirements. Only those Higher Level EECE Electives taken beyond the required 20 credits of Higher Level EECE Electives will count as technical electives.
