Math 308 and Math 321 do not meet the requirements of non-EE Elective. CSci 242, CSci 260, and Math 208 are permitted. 4 – EE 481 meets the Essential Studies Special Emphasis requirement for Oral Communication (O). 5 – Maximum of three credits of EE 490 allowed as an independent study, applicable to both EE and non-EE electives. 2 credits of EE 397 Cooperative Education (40 hours/week) is equivalent to 3 credits of the EE Electives with S/U grading, maximum 4 credits of EE 397 is equivalent to maximum of 6 credits of EE Elective. 6 – The Ethics Elective is a 3-credit course that meets Essential Studies requirements in either the Arts & Humanities or the Social Sciences. Ethics Elective choices: Phil 120 Introduction to Ethics (Humanities), ChE 340 (SS), and ME 370 (SS). Some of the following courses may be waived by completing: Introduction to Engineering: ENGR 102 EE 101 Introduction to Electrical Engineering 1 EE 201 Introduction to Digital Electronics 2 EE 201L Digital Electronics Laboratory 1 EE 304 Computer Aided Measurement and Controls 3 EE 397 Cooperative Education 1-2 up to 6 credit hours of non-EE electives III- Grade of "C" or better in all EE courses required for graduation. 


Students must complete enough electives to bring total credit hours up to the 125. Special Emphasis courses can fulfill an essential studies requirement (example-History 104, US History, will count toward the Diversity of Human Experience as well as the Humanities area). Please Note: Every student must fulfill all University, Departmental, and Essential Studies requirements.
