Leveling or foundation courses are:
- required of students with non-electrical or computer engineering undergraduate degrees
- 200 and 300-level courses that do not count toward graduate degree requirements
Our Graduate Studies Committee in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECEN) has established the following guidelines for the degree programs of graduate-level students without an undergraduate electrical engineering education.
-
Candidates in all Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctoral (Ph.D.) degree areas will be required to take the following electrical engineering courses for a total of 18 credit hours (CR):
- ECEN 214 - Electrical Circuit Theory (4 CR)
- ECEN 248 - Introduction to Digital Systems Design (4 CR)
- ECEN 314 - Signals and Systems (3 CR)
- ECEN 322 - Electric and Magnetic Fields (3 CR)
- ECEN 325 - Electronics (4 CR)
-
Candidates will be required to take at least two courses from one of the following areas of specialization or demonstrate the equivalent material has been covered in their undergraduate degree program:
- Electronics: 326, 457, 474
- Power: 438, 441, 459, 460, 467
- Electrophysics, Electro-optics, Microwaves: 370, 451, 453, 462, 464, 465, 466, 472, 473
- Communications, Control, Signal Processing: 420, 444, 445, 446, 447, 455
- Computer Engineering: 350, 449, 454, 468, 469, 475
