GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATIOIN

A candidate for a degree in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering must satisfy the following minimum requirements:

  1. Complete a minimum of 128 semester hours excluding deficiency courses and remedial work for the Bachelor’s Degree.


  2. Earn an average grade point of 2.0 for every semester hour undertaken including hours passed or failed. After completing the number of credit hours required for graduation, if the student is deficient in grade points, he or she must take additional courses to secure these points. The student must also obtain a minimum of “C” grade in all pre-requisites courses and a minimum GPA of 2.0 in the ELEN/COMP courses.


  3. The Major GPA computation uses the highest ELEN/COMP course grades including advanced undergraduate/graduate courses taken as part of the undergraduate program.


  4. Complete a minimum of three semesters as a full-time student in residence at the University. This requirement includes the two semesters prior to the period when the student completes his or her requirements for graduation. At least one-half of the credits in the student’s major field must be earned at the University. Exception to either of the provisions may be made upon the recommendation of the Chairperson of the Department with the approval to the College Dean.


  5. The College of engineering course repetition policy is that each engineering student may repeat an engineering course only twice. This includes all courses that are repeated for any reason, including the following:


    • The course is dropped after the last day to add a course.
    • The course is changed to audit status.
    • An unsatisfactory grade is received in the course.
    • A student may petition to repeat a course for a third time as a result of extenuating circumstances, but the student must gain the approval of the Department Chairperson as well as the Dean of the College of Engineering.



COURSES PRE-REQUISITE/CO-REQUISITES REQUIREMENTS
  1. A minimum grade of “C” in ENGL-100, GEEN-100, GEEN-160, GEEN-161, GEEN-163, CHEM-106, MATH-131, MATH-132, MATH-231, MATH-431, PHYS-241, PHYS-242, INEN-260, INEN-270, and MEEN-313, is required to satisfy Pre-requisite requirements of subsequent courses.


  2. A minimum grade of “C” is required to satisfy Pre-requisite requirements of subsequent ELEN courses.
