UNIVERSITY OF UTAH ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT May 2012 ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING DEGREE - TECHNICAL ELECTIVE REQUIREMENT

EE students must take at least 27 hours of electives. Of those 27 hours of electives, 21 elective hours must be advanced ECE classes. To complete the requirement, students may either take additional ECE elective classes or take up to six (6) credit hours of non-ECE classes selected from the list on the back of this page. Be sure prerequisites are complete for any classes selected. No class may be counted for both a B.S. degree and a graduate degree. Requirements include the following: Electrical Engineering Breadth Electives Breadth Requirement. Take at least one class in three of the five following areas. Approved classes for each area are listed below. All breadth classes also count as technical electives.

Additional Electrical Engineering Electives EE students are required to take additional advanced Electrical Engineering classes, making ECE electives (including breadth classes) total 21 hours or more. ECE classes numbered 5xxx or higher, including special topics courses with numbers 5960, 5961, and 5962, are usually ECE electives. Some ECE electives are numbered 3xxx, although most 3xxx classes are required. Classes with both 5xxx and 6xxx numbers should be taken as 5xxx classes by undergraduates.

New electives being taught for the first time are given temporary special topics numbers, usually 5960, 5961, and 5962 for higher level classes, or 3960, 3961, and 3962 for lower level classes. Most electives are numbered in accordance with the following system: Classes in the Microelectronics area are x1xx and x2xx Classes in the Microwaves and Optics area are x3xx and x4xx Classes in the Signal Processing, Communications, and Control Systems area are x5xx Classes in the Computer and Digital Design area are x7xx and x8xx.

Non-ECE Electives Students are allowed to take up to 6 credit hours outside the major.
