Minor in Computer Engineering

The Computer Engineering minor is designed to provide students from other computer-intensive majors—such as computer science or other engineering majors—with a foundation of knowledge in the hardware portion of computer systems. The minor consists of a minimum of seven ECE courses resulting in 25 credits. There are four required courses and an additional 12 credits of elective courses.

Prerequisites
The minor assumes that students will have a background in mathematics, physics, and computer programming equivalent to that covered in the first two years of engineering. Programming experience must include CS 171 at the minimum. CS 172 and CS 260 are also recommended, and are required for some upper level Computer Engineering (ECEC) courses. Courses taken to meet these requirements will not count toward the minor.

Required courses			13.0 Credits
ECE 200	Digital Logic Design		3.0
ECEC 302	Digital System Projects		4.0
ECEC 355	Computer Structures		4.0
ECEL 304	ECE Laboratory IV (prerequisite waived for minor)		2.0
Electives			12.0 Credits
Students should choose an additional 12 credits from 300- and/or 400-level Computer Engineering (ECEC) courses. All prerequisites must be satisfied.

The Computer Engineering Minor for Electrical Engineering Students
The University limit on the overlap between major and minor programs is 9 credits. Since 5 of the 13 required credits in the Computer Engineering minor are also in the Electrical Engineering degree program, electrical engineering students can overlap one additional 4-credit ECEC course in their major plan of study. ECEC courses that are used to satisfy core or technical electives in the EE degree program, beyond this one additional course, cannot be used toward the Computer Engineering minor due to the credit overlap limit.
