Admission to Degree Program

The degree programs in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering carry special enrollment limitations. Please see the college advisement center for specific details.

The Discipline

Electrical and computer engineering is a field in which students learn to design such electronic systems as computers and electronic calculators; radio, television, and telephone communication systems; integrated circuit chips; robotic systems; space vehicle and missile guidance systems; and instrumentation systems, including medical instruments.

Electrical and computer engineers are often inventors or innovators who apply their mathematics backgrounds in creating new or improved electrical/electronics products.

Career Opportunities

Electrical and computer engineers have traditionally been among the most heavily recruited students graduating from a four-year program. Since the 1950s, the engineer has been in great demand and is offered one of the highest starting salaries of any field. The design and application of computer systems; the improvement of existing communication systems such as fiber optic systems; the development of tactical weapons; the development of robotic manufacturing systems; the application of signal processing methods to improve quality or transmission efficiency of digital information; the design of new integrated circuits; and the further development of automotive electronics, such as automatic braking systems, are a few areas in which the engineer may work.

Engineers often start their own companies after some years of industrial experience. Other engineers choose to consult in areas of concentrated experience.

A number of electrical and computer engineers go into the law field, often as patent attorneys, whereas others go into medical electronics or the related biomedical engineering field.

The curriculum for a BS degree in electrical engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET). Graduates are educationally prepared to become licensed professional engineers. The department has requested an accreditation review during 1996 from ABET for the BS degree in computer engineering.

General Information

Preprofessional Program. All students who declare electrical and computer engineering as a major will be designated preprofessional until an application for acceptance to the professional program (available at the college advisement center, 264 CB) has been considered and approved by the department's professional admissions committee. Preprofessional students are not allowed to enroll in electrical and computer engineering technical courses numbered 300 or above.

Academic Standards and Continuance. Proficiency in electrical and computer engineering requires dedication and certain natural abilities. It is the expectation of the department that all students accepted to the professional program have already demonstrated these qualities and will possess the abilities to successfully complete the program. Progress will be measured against professional standards.

Demonstrated integrity and a willingness to honor the highest professional standards of the engineering profession are expected.

From all technical classes being taken at the time of and after acceptance into the professional program, the student is (1) required to maintain a cumulative technical GPA of at least 2.0 and (2) permitted one technical class with an original substandard grade. If the substandard grade is at least a D- and the course is not prerequisite to a required course, credit will be given for graduation. For this discussion, the GPA computed from all technical classes, except for laboratory and seminar classes but including repeats, is called a technical GPA. An “original substandard grade” is defined as an E, UW, D, or unconverted I whether or not the course is later repeated and a higher grade received.

Permanent probationary status is automatically given at the end of the semester or term to any student whose grades fall below the bounds set above. A reasonable effort will be made to notify the student by letter at the address listed by the university. Should this fail, the student is still responsible for his probationary status.

After having been sent a letter indicating that he or she is on probation, the student is suspended from the department (1) by receiving additional original substandard grades or (2) by failing to increase his or her technical GPA to 2.0 or higher after one semester of being on probationary status. In extreme cases the student, together with the departmental standards committee, may prearrange to extend the one-semester probation period with which to increase his or her technical GPA. Appeals will be considered by the departmental standards committee.

Professional Registration. The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department provides the option for graduates to become registered professional engineers. General qualifications for becoming registered are explained in the College of Engineering and Technology section of this catalog. This status is vital to engineering practice in the public sector and to much consulting work. The basic electrical and computer engineering program outlined in this department prepares graduates to successfully complete the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination. Students who wish to become registered as professional engineers are advised to discuss this matter with an advisor from the department soon after admission to the professional program.
