The following is a list of approved “Non-EE Technical Electives” for Electrical Engineering majors. Other technical courses may be appropriate; but to be considered for approval, a course must: a) be at the 300- or 400-level; b) be junior- or senior-level in technical content, as evidenced by significant sophomore-level prerequisites in mathematics, physics, or engineering; and c) make academic sense in the student’s program. Special approval requests should be directed in writing/email to the EE Undergraduate Office. NOTE: Some courses listed below have pre-requisites (underlined) that do not satisfy EE major requirements. However, some of the underlined-courses have equivalent pre-requisites (e.g., MATH240 = MATH461) which do satisfy EE requirements.
