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

List the major changes in each program of study, minor or certificate.

Proposed Minor in Electrical Engineering

Required Courses (11 credits)

  • ECE 20100 Linear Circuit Analysis I and ECE 20700 Electronic Measurement Techniques (4 credits)
  • ECE 20200 Linear Circuit Analysis II (3 credits)
  • ECE 27500 Analog and Digital Electronics (4 credits)

Elective Courses (6-8 credits).  Choose two of the following:

  • ECE 27001 Introduction to Digital System Design (4 credits)
  • ECE 30100 Signals and Systems (3 credits)
  • ECE 31100 Electric and Magnetic Circuits (3 credits)
  • ECE 36201 Microprocessor System Design and Interfacing (4 credits)
  • Other 300 level or above ECE course approved by the Engineering Undergraduate Committee (3 credits)

Required Prerequisite Courses: MA16300, 16400, 26100, and 26400; PHYS 15200 and (for ECE 31100) 26100; and a background in a programming language (determined by advisor).

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.
