Minor in Electrical Engineering

26.0 quarter credits

The Electrical Engineering minor is designed to provide other engineering majors or students from other disciplines an introduction to the wide-ranging content of the electrical engineering major. The minor consists of a minimum of eight ECE courses resulting in 26 credits. There are five required courses and an additional 12 credits of elective courses.

Prerequisites
The minor assumes that students will have a background in mathematics and physics equivalent to that covered in the first two years of the engineering curriculum. In mathematics, this would cover calculus and differential equations. Knowledge of linear algebra is also recommended. Courses taken to meet these requirements will not count toward the minor.

Required courses
ECE 200	Digital Logic Design			3.0
ECE 201	Fundamentals of Electrical Circuits			3.0
ECES 302	Transform Methods & Filtering			4.0
ECEL 301 WI	ECE Laboratory I			2.0
ECEL 302	ECE Laboratory II			2.0
Electives			12.0
Students should choose 12 credits from 300- and/or 400-level ECE courses. These courses can come from the Computer (ECEC), Electrophysics (ECEE), Electric Power (ECEP), or Systems (ECES) groups. All prerequisites must be satisfied.

The Electrical Engineering Minor for Computer Engineering Students
The University limit on overlap between major and minor programs is 9 credits. Since all of the required courses in the EE minor are also in the CE degree program, computer engineering students will be required to add at least 5 additional EE credits to their minor plan of study in consultation with their academic advisor. Computer Engineering majors may only choose their elective courses from the ECEE, ECEP, and ECES course groups.
