4 INTRODUCTION This Curriculum Guide supplements the University Catalog regarding the Electrical and Computer Engineering Curricula and restates University and College policies especially relevant to Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering majors. It is prepared annually to reflect the Department's changing courses and curricula. Students are urged to keep an up-to-date edition on hand and to become familiar with the organization and content of the guide Electrical and Computer Engineering Curricula This Curriculum Guide reflects the requirements and suggested electives related to the EE and CompE Degrees. The actual degrees are the Bachelor of Electrical Engineering (B.E.E.) and Bachelor of Computer Engineering (B.Comp.E.). Section 8 of this guide contains the requirements for the EE and CompE programs that apply to those students entering the program in Fall 2007 or later for EE majors and Fall 2009 or later for CompE majors. Curriculum Guides pertaining to earlier entry dates can be obtained from the Student Advising Office in Keller Hall Room In addition to this Electrical and Computer Engineering Curriculum Guide, further information about Electrical and Computer Engineering and the College of Science and Engineering (CSE) can be found on the web at or in the CSE Student Services Office, 128 Lind Hall Further Information Many other individuals and organizations at the University of Minnesota are available to help you.

6 ADMISSIONS Initially, all freshmen engineering and science students are admitted to CSE and not to a specific major. Students are encouraged to designate an intended major by the end of the first year. Designation of Computer or Electrical Engineering as a proposed major does not assure admission to the Upper Division in CompE/EE. There are no minors available for Electrical or Computer Engineering. Before the completion of 60 credits, each CSE student is obliged to make formal application with CSE Advising for admission to Upper Division status. Students who have completed the required courses and have maintained a 3.2 GPA or higher will be automatically admitted into upper division. Other students will be admitted on a space available basis. The requirements for admission to Upper Division in Electrical Engineering are The following courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better: a) Math 2373 (Lin Alg/Diff Eq) b) EE 1301 (Intro to Computing Systems) c) EE 2001 (Elec Cir) d) EE 2301 (Intro Digital Des) The requirements for admission to Upper Division in Computer Engineering are: The following courses must be completed with a grade of C- or better: a) Math 2373 (Lin Alg/Diff Eq) b) EE 2001 (Elec Cir) c) CSci 1902 (Structures II) d) EE 2301 (Intro Digital Des) Students in the Coordinate Campus CSE program at UMD or UMM are considered for Upper Division admission to CSE under the same criteria as for CSE students. Students who apply for transfer from other institutions are generally considered under different criteria for admission when applying directly to Upper Division Electrical Engineering. Upper Division status is required to enroll in third-year EE courses; overrides are not to be anticipated.

7 7 3.0 REGISTRATION AND ADVISING 3.1. Entering CSE When a student is admitted to CSE, he or she is assigned an adviser from CSE Student Services. Before each semester's registration, a student must meet with the assigned adviser and receive approval of the intended registration. Any lower division student who has questions about the EE program is welcome to contact ECE Student Services, the ECE Director of Undergraduate Studies, or the ECE Undergraduate Academic Adviser Upper Division EE and CompE After admission to EE/CompE Upper Division, a student will meet with the ECE Academic Advisor. Each upper division student must utilize the Graduation Planner ( to plan for courses in subsequent semesters. The Grad Plan must be approved by a staff or faculty academic advisor. A hold called a Departmental Stamp (DS) is always in effect on a student s registration. (Holds appear under Service Indicators on transcripts.) The DS hold blocks registration for a particular semester and following semesters. The semester to which a DS hold applies is found under a student s Holds on One Stop. To move the DS hold to a future semester, a student must have his or her graduation planner filled out through at least the next semester and meet with an advisor about the plan. The front desk in Keller has instructions on how to complete the graduation planner and set up a meeting with an advisor. Feel free to send to ECE Student Services at ecessoa@umn.edu or view our website for more information: Graduation Paperwork When you are near the end of the next to last semester before your anticipated graduation, prepare an Application for Degree Form. This form is available on the web ( It is an essential step in qualifying for graduation since it will inform the Degree-Clearance Office what must be completed to earn the degree. See Section 10 for more information.

8 Class Reservation and Waiting List To accelerate the organization of classes under high-enrollment conditions and to reduce uncertainty about class size, the following policy will be enforced: a student registered for an EE or CSci course must attend the first meeting of the class to retain the reservation. If the first class is not attended, the student's place will be transferred to an attending student on the waiting list. Students waitlisted for courses receive priority for registration. Further, any student not enrolled but desiring admission to the class must also attend the first meeting to be considered. Be sure to waitlist for any course if you wish to take it. Waitlists help determine if additional sections will be opened or larger rooms will be sought ECE PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES 4.1. Engineering Co-op Program The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering participates in an Engineering Co-op Education Program for junior and senior level undergraduate students who are either EE or CompE majors. This program allows students to participate in hands-on experience in various companies and government agencies involved in the engineering and technical fields. Both companies and students participating in this program find this a rewarding experience. Many companies have been a part of the Co-op Program for many years because of their positive experiences. Students are encouraged to apply to the program late in their sophomore year for work experience in their junior and senior years. Upon acceptance into the Co-op Program, students interview with participating companies on a competitive basis. Students are paid at the going salary rate for the position in the company. Employers are expected to assign meaningful engineering tasks to the students, and to arrange for them to experience as many facets of the organization's operations as possible. Students are encouraged to interact with other professionals within the organization and improve their technical and personal communication skills. Starting Fall 2006 the Electrical and Computer Engineering co-op program combined with the Mechanical Engineering co-op program. The program operates the same as the ME program except EE and CompE students will register for EE co-op courses rather than ME co-op courses. EE and CompE co-op students receive credits for the three co-op assignments by registering for EE 3041 (2 cr), EE 4043W (4 cr) and EE 4044 (2 cr); these apply to the non-major technical elective category. At least the first two co-op assignments must be completed to receive credit. See for more information about the coop program.

9 Industry Internships An internship is a short-term position that provides students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience working with professionals in the science and technology field. It s an opportunity to develop technical skills; however, there is no credit given for internships. If interested in obtaining credit, see section 4.1 on Co-Ops. For information about internships, go to the Career Center for Science and Engineering. Internships are arranged by students with corporations or institutions. This activity does not qualify as an opportunity for academic credit University Honors Program The Electrical and Computer Engineering Department participates in the University Honors Program. During their Senior Year, qualified students may elect to participate in the Senior Honors Design Courses instead of the Senior Design Project course. This is a two-semester, two-credit per semester design course performed under the direction of a faculty adviser and Professor D. Lilja. Advance permission from Professor Lilja is required to register for this sequence although students need not be participants in the University Honors program. In addition, a student may graduate with Latin honors through the University Honors program (cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude) by obtaining the required grade point average, completing the required honors experiences, and completing an honors thesis. Contact the University Honors Office in 20 Nicholson Hall or at for further information Learning Abroad There is no such thing as a local company or issue anymore. You need the skills that international experience will provide to work effectively in industry, in industry, academia, or the public sector. CSE students should consider gaining international experience through study abroad. Regular financial aid and scholarships can be applied to study abroad. And, there are many additional scholarships available. Program fees vary widely, with some costing less than a semester on campus. If you plan to take courses in your major, several universities have been identified where EE and CompE courses can be completed for a semester or an academic year. Most students take courses abroad during either their sophomore or junior years, though there is not one formula for everyone.

10 10 You may wish to explore topics outside of the EE/CompE major, such as international business, a foreign language, international technology management, or take courses toward a minor or second major outside of CSE. For example, past students have taken a summer, semester, or academic year program in Finland, in English, focusing on International Technology Management. Students can study abroad and cover major and liberal education requirements. You may be able to complete an internship or take major courses, take a couple of your technical electives, or do research. Many programs offer a flexible curriculum. Advance planning will ensure that courses taken during study abroad will fit smoothly into your degree program. The following universities abroad offer course work in engineering in English unless otherwise noted: Australia, University of Melbourne Australia, University of Sydney China, Hong Kong U of Sci and Tech England, Cambridge University England, Oxford University England, University College-London England, University of Leeds Ireland, Trinity College - Dublin Korea, Pohang University of Science & Technology (POSTECH) Norway, Norwegian U of Sci and Tech Trondheim Norway, University of Oslo Scotland, University of Strathclyde Glasgow Sweden, Chalmers University of Technology - Gothenburg These are just a few of the options available to you. There are many additional international colleges and universities who offer Study Abroad programs, but not taught in English. For a complete listing of study abroad opportunities, you can speak to Adam Pagel in the CSE Student Affairs Office, attend a Global Campus First Step Meeting, talk with a Global Campus advisor, look at the U of M Study Abroad Catalog, and visit the Global Campus web sites: and Student Organizations We encourage you to get involved. Students often underestimate the importance of creating connections and fostering broad relationships. Student organizations are great for doing this and so much fun! See our website for a list of organizations related to Electrical and Computer Engineering:

11 NON-EE/COMPE PROGRAMS 5.1. Earning A Degree Or Minor From Another College A CompE or EE student may pursue a minor, major, or entire second degree through another college. A minor or major is noted on the student's official transcript upon graduation. A second degree is also listed on the transcript and the student is awarded an individual diploma. See an adviser in the CSE Student Services Office for procedures and forms. A Computer Science minor is also available through CLA. Contact the Computer Engineering & Science Department for information Earning A CSE Second Major A student may earn a degree in a second CSE program by completing the course requirements for both an ECE major and the second program. The student's transcript will show degrees earned for both majors, and the degrees can be earned at the same time or sequentially. A separate "Application for Degree" must be filed for each. A student interested in a second major should submit a petition in the CSE Student Services Office, 128 Lind Hall Combined CSE/Carlson School Of Management Degree Please contact the Carlson School of Management for information about The Management Minor for CSE Students, , Hanson Hall. The web site for further information is at On completion of a Management Minor some of the 3xxx level management and marketing courses are accepted as EE or CompE non-major technical electives Professional Engineering License Engineers who perform engineering that may affect the public health and safety are required to be licensed by the state in which they work. An engineer who is licensed is a Professional Engineer (P.E.). This licensing is particularly important for those engineers who may serve as consultants, technical witnesses in courts, etc. on matters affecting the public health and safety. Registration standards are set and governed by a state board established for that purpose. In Minnesota it is the State Board of Architecture, Engineering Land Surveying, Landscape Architecture, Geoscience, & Interior Design, The Golden Rule Building, Ste East Seventh Place, St. Paul , (651) Fax: (651) , Information about registration and the advantages can be obtained from the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) (

12 CURRICULUM AND COURSE RESTRICTIONS 6.1. Directed Study Under certain conditions a student may register for a directed-study project (EE 4970). For information about the necessary procedures request information in the ECE Student Services Office (Keller Hall 3-166). No more than 3 directed study (4970) credits are allowed as Senior Technical Electives Residency Requirement Policy A student earning a bachelor's degree must complete 30 semester credits after admission to CSE in his or her declared major department. Transfer credits cannot be used to fulfill credits for the Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering Senior Technical Program except for non major technical electives Courses Not Accepted For The BEE Or BCompE. Degree Policy 1. Technical courses in which a grade below C- has been earned do not apply to either Program. 2. Credit may be applied only once for courses treating equivalent subject matter; this applies to transfer courses that are substantially equivalent to a U of M course. 3. Technical courses from a technology or technician program do not transfer. 4. Physical education courses (beyond 3 credits) may not be applied. 5. Generally, work experience does not satisfy any academic requirements. The only exceptions to this would be for those students that are part of the ECE Coop Program, or students who are allowed to test out of a course by the course instructor Transfer Credit Policy A student who enters with transfer credit from another accredited institution may need to complete additional coursework in order to satisfy minimum credit requirements in mathematics, basic sciences, and/or engineering subjects. For information on course equivalency consult the CSE website:

13 Changing Degree Requirements Policy Any changes to the degree requirements need prior written approval by the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Requests for such variances must be submitted by petition. Contact an advisor in ECE Grading Policies The "D" grade 1. All courses required of the major, except liberal education courses, must be passed with a grade of C- or better. 2. No credit is given for technical courses with a grade below C- that are transferred from another college S-N Grading - ECE Policy 1. All EE courses will be offered for either A-F or S-N grading with the exception of EE 1001, EE 3041, 3990, 4043W and 4044 which will be offered S-N only. 2. For ECE majors the following restrictions will apply to their selection of grading systems, in addition to those restrictions adopted college-wide for all CSE students. a. All EE courses must be taken A-F with the following exceptions: EE 1001, EE 3041, EE 3990, EE 4043W and EE b. All required technical courses must be taken A-F except those offered S-N only The "I" Grade (An Incomplete) The Incomplete grade is used "in accordance with provisions announced in class at the beginning of the semester, when in the instructor's opinion there is a reasonable expectation that the student can complete successfully the missing work of the course. The I grade is assigned only when a student has completed all but a small portion of the work of a course and has made prior arrangements with the instructor to make up the work. Department policy dictates that the instructor assigns an I when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the student was prevented from completing coursework on time. An Incomplete requires a written agreement between the instructor and the student specifying the time and manner in which the student will complete the course requirements during the student s next term of enrollment. If a student wishes to take an "I" in a course, the student must fill out an

14 14 Incomplete Grade Agreement form found in the Advising Office in Keller This form must be signed by the faculty member in charge of the course. This form acts as contract for completion, so it is to the advantage of the student to make sure it is filled out and returned to the Advising Office. For undergraduates and non-degree students, work to make up an I must be submitted within 72 hours of the last final examination of the student s next term of enrollment; if not submitted by that time, in the sixth week of the next term the I will automatically change to an F (if A-F registration) or N (if S-N registration) COMBINED DEGREE PROGRAM (FIVE-YEAR MASTERS) The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers the 5-year integrated BEE/MSEE and BCompE/MSEE degree programs. The programs were established to allow high-achieving undergraduates the opportunity to work toward a Master s degree while simultaneously working toward their undergraduate degree. Reasons to Complete a Masters Degree A Master s degree is necessary for those interested in design and development or research and development. The program provides additional coursework and/or project experience for advanced design and development jobs. The competencies learned in a Master s program are difficult to obtain by other means. A Master s degree makes you more competitive in the job market. More employers are requiring a Master s degree. Increased salary. Technology changes 10% per year and almost completely in 10 years. The 5-year program offers several advantages. Students are able to work on the undergraduate and graduate degrees simultaneously. The amount of time to complete a Masters degree can be shortened by up to one year. Students in the 5-year program qualify for graduate research/teaching assistantships and fellowships. These positions provide a stipend, tuition, and health insurance benefits. There is an increased chance of winning external fellowships. Students in the fifth year of the 5-year program will be eligible to apply for NSF and other external fellowships. Students save money because they are able to complete 16 graduate credits at the undergraduate tuition rate. Since the Masters degree is 30 semester credits, this leaves only 14 credits to be taken at the higher graduate tuition rate. For more information see our website or ask an advisor:

15 EE AND COMPE DEGREE CURRICULUM REQUIREMENTS The EE program leads to a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering (B.E.E.) degree without a designated emphasis on the diploma. The CompE program leads to a Bachelor of Computer Engineering (B.Comp.E.) degree without a designated emphasis on the diploma. Both curricula require a minimum of 128 semester credits Lower Division Courses in Common for EE and CompE Majors Liberal Education for EE and CompE (including Writing Practice) (Approximately 23 cr required although this number can vary dependent on how much overlap of LE requirements a student plans for) The liberal education requirements are detailed on the following web page: Students are required to take four writing intensive WI courses two, of which, must be upper division courses, and one of the latter must be in the major.
