Task: Course Change or New Course Proposal

  • Program Name: Electrical Engineering
  • Degree Name(s): Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering

Section I: This section is for changes in programs, minors and certificates

  • Impact on Students:
  • Impact on University Resources:
  • Impact on other Academic Units:

Section II: This section is for changes in courses only

  • Subject: Change in prerequisite; adding one topic, transformers, which is currently covered in ECE 42600 Electric Drives; and adding hands-on laboratory experiments that illustrate the principles involved and improve student learning.
  • Justification: The current prerequisite. ECE 42600 Electric Drives, is really a parallel course in that both ECE 43200 and ECE 42600 build on the common prerequisites, which are ECE 31100 Electric and Magnetic Fields and ECE 27500 Analog and Digital Electronics. The knowledge required for ECE 43200 is in ECE 31100 and ECE 27500. Increasing the grade required in the prerequisites will improve the success of students.
