ECE Technical Electives by Focus Area

EE Technical Electives

This is a list of typical courses which may be used to fulfill the "EE Technical Electives" on the BSEE (program code EEE). See the degree audit for the minimum number of credits required for the EE degree or the EE degree with a concentration.

The following lists show which focus area or areas best represent each course. Students may mix and match choices as they like, or take more courses from one area for a stronger focus or area of specialization. Prerequisites must be met to register in a course. EE (Technical) Electives are EE courses that are not specifically required. They are lecture-based or lab-based. Pass/fail courses do not apply. Project work, co-op, independent study, and research credits may not apply in the EE Technical Electives area. Refer to the degree audit for details.
