B. Probability and Statistics (3 hours) ECE 313 or STAT 410 / MATH 464, 3 hours C. Computer Engineering Technical Electives (28 hours) Hours 28 to include at least: 1 course 3 courses Requirements Selected from the departmentally approved List of Technical Electives 1 of the 6 EE Foundation Courses: Each student must take one course from the technical elective list. (See list on next page Departmentally Approved List of Technical Electives.) Three of the Advanced Computing Core courses (See list on next page Departmentally Approved List of Technical Electives.) 1 course Final Design Class: ECE 411 Computer Organization & Design ECE 445 Senior Design Project Lab ECE 496 Senior Research Project AND ECE 499 Senior Thesis 28 Hours Total All courses cross-listed with ECE courses are counted as ECE hours. Cross-listed means that the words in the course description are Same as. GE 421 Intro to Robotics is Same as ECE 470, so it counts as an ECE tech elective. In CS 241 it says Credit is not given for both CS 241 and ECE 391. They are not the same course; you won t get any credit for CS 241. Restrictions and Notes: (1) ECE/PHIL 316, Engineering Ethics, is a Campus Humanities course, which meets Comp II requirements. It will not count as an ECE Elective. (2) Some sections of ECE 199, 398, and 498 may not have technical content (e.g., Professionalism and Ethics in Engineering). These sections will not count as ECE electives. Specifically required ECE courses (e.g., ECE 313) do not count. Courses for non-majors (e.g., ECE 205) do not count. (5) Students may use independent study and project hours: ECE 397 (Individual Study in ECE) ECE 396 (Honors Project), ECE 496/499 (Senior Research Project and Thesis) However, no student may take more than 4 hours special problems with the same instructor, nor count more than a total of 6 hours towards graduation as a technical elective or a required advanced ECE course or lab, regardless of the department in which they are taken. (6) ECE 297 can be repeated for up to 2 hours of ECE technical electives, but does not count as part of the 6 hours of independent study allowed for Technical Electives. (7) Non-ECE tech elective hours: ENG 491 Interdisciplinary Design Project, approved sections. For ECE credit, go to 156 Everitt Lab
