 Graduate students in the Department of Electrical Engineering have
bachelor's degrees from many areas-electrical engineering, other engineering
disciplines, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and other technical fields.
 Master's students electing a non-thesis degree must pass a written compre-
hensive examination in their last or next-to-last quarter. This is a very gen-
eral examination covering all areas of electrical engineering.
 In the second quarter after completion of the master's program, prospective
Ph.D. students have a preliminary examination covering basic and advanced
undergraduate subjects and some graduate subjects already taken. This ex-
amination covers three areas of specialization selected by each student with
approval of his adviser.
 The Department of Electrical Engineering offers graduate study and re-
search in biomedical engineering, computer and information science, com-
munication science, system science, electronics, and electric energy science.
The department also has interdisciplinary programs with medicine, sciences,
and other engineering disciplines.
 The following course listing indicates the major areas of faculty interest.
The special topics courses, EE 591, 592, 691, and 692, cover a variety of
topics for which there are no present courses.
 The following Engineering Common Courses are available for graduate
major credit: EGC 550-Direct Energy Conversion Engineering 1; EGC
551-Direct Energy Conversion Engineering 2; EGC 552-Direct Energy Con-
version Engineering Laboratory.
COURSES FOR ADVANCED UNDERGRADUATES AND GRADUATES
EE 510-GEOMETRIC OPTICS FOR ENGINEERS. 3 credits
EE 513-APPLICATION OF DIGITAL COMPUTERS TO SPEECH RESEARCH.
 3 credits
