Electrical Engineering Currilcum

Approved ENEE Technical Electives

All BSEE graduates must complete a range of technical electives designed to ensure they have the appropriate breath and depth of training in electrical engineering, a rigorous advanced laboratory experience, and a sophisticated and sustained exposure to engineering design. A total of 13 credits of 400-level ENEE technical electives must be completed and distributed among the following categories:

Category A. Advanced Theory and Applications: minimum of 3 credits

Category B. Advanced Laboratory: minimum of 2 credits

Category C. Capstone Design: minimum of 3 credits

Please read carefully, and make a note of, the following special cases and other items:

  1. A maximum of five credits of ENEE 499:" Senior Projects in Electrical Engineering" may be used to satisfy the electrical engineering technical electives. The following rules and restrictions apply:
    • All ENEE499 project proposals must be approved by the project supervisor and the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies.
    • ENEE499 cannot be used to satisfy the List C:" Capstone Design" requirement.
    • For further details and instructions as well as the ENEE499 registration form please visit: http://www.ece.umd.edu/Academic/Under/advising/ENEE499.html

  2. Additional Capstone Design courses can be used as substitutes for
    • the required Advanced Theory and Applications course; and/or
    • the required Advanced Laboratory course, provided one of the following is completed: ENEE 408A, 408B, 408C, or 408F.

  3. Completion of ENEE 408A and ENEE 459A satisfies both the Capstone Design and Advanced Laboratory requirements.

  4. If you have any questions on how these requirements affect your current selection of senior EE electives, please contact an advisor.
