COLLEGES Note 8: Technical electives must be taken from an approved list which may be obtained from the student's advisor. Note 9: Electives must be approved by stu- dent's advisor. Electrical Engineering Electrical Engineering is a science-oriented , branch of engineering primarily concerned with all phases and development of the transmission and utilization of electric power and intelli- gence. The study of electrical engineering can be conveniently divided into the academic areas of circuits, electronics, electromagnetics, electric energy systems, communications, control, and computer engineering. Because of the extremely rapid growth and changes relating to the application of electrical engineering principles, the curriculum is designed for concentration on a solid core of basic foundation courses. Electives are taken according to individual interest in order to per- mit a student to delve more deeply into subject matter previously introduced. Technical elec- tives, as well as nontechnical electives, must be selected from the approved lists of the Electrical Engineering department. The department's extensive laboratory facili- ties and varied research programs will assist in highlighting both the experimental and theoreti- cal approaches to electrical engineering. The department offers graduate programs for students interested in advanced degrees. More and more students are continuing to grad- uate school, so those who may become qualified should seek early counseling. As early as the sixth and seventh semesters, course work may be directed toward future graduate work. Cer- tainly, electives chosen during the last few semesters of the undergraduate curriculum may relate to areas of interest to be pursued in the graduate program. Degree Programs: The Electrical Engineering department offers the following degrees: Bache- lor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering, Master of Engineering, Master of Science, Engineer, and Doctor of Philosophy. Admission: Applicants should have grade point averages of 2.5 or better overall, with 2.5 in calculus courses (on first attempts), and 2.5 in physics (with calculus) lecture courses (on first attempts). Once admitted to the program, an electrical engineering student shall maintain satisfactory progress-generally C or better in all required courses-and an overall grade point average of 2.0 or higher, In particular, an electrical engi- neering student cannot take an electrical engi- neering course without having earned a minimum grade of C in the prerequisite electri- cal engineering courses. In addition to the other requirements for a bachelor's degree a student must have at least a 2.0 grade point average in all electrical engineer- ing courses taken, both required and elective. If a course is repeated, both grades count in this grade point average. The Electrical Engineering department pub- lishes the Electrical Engineering Counseling Guide which provides detailed information beyond that stated in this catalog.
