Impact on Students

The existing minor in Electrical and Computer Engineering is being discontinued because separate minors in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering would better suit the interests and needs of students.  The separate minors allow students to better specialize and meet their needs. Primarily intended for students who meet the prereqs of the courses.

Impact on University Resources

Not Applicable – All of the courses exist and are taught on a regular basis.
