Electrical Engineering, B.S.
|
|
Return to: College of Engineering and Computer Science
(120 UNITS)
The requirements for the B.S. in Electrical Engineering comprise three major segments: foundation courses in mathematics and the physical sciences; general education courses in the arts, humanities and other related areas; and a sequence of courses to fulfill the requirements of the Electrical Engineering degree.
Students are required to meet with their academic adviser every semester during the first year and at least once a year thereafter. Students are strongly encouraged to see their academic advisers frequently. All courses taken in fulfillment of the requirements for the bachelor’s degree must be taken for a letter grade. All mathematics and physical science courses required for the degree must be completed with at least a “C-” (1.7) to count as credit towards the degree. Graduate courses are not open to undergraduate students without approval of the program coordinator.

2 + 2 Articulated Program with Community Colleges
The department has developed 2+2 articulation agreements with community colleges to provide students seamless transfer to the CSUF Electrical Engineering Program. This allows full-time students, taking the courses specified by the Electrical Engineering Department each semester, to graduate in two years following transfer to CSUF.
High School Preparation
Entering freshman preparation should include two years of algebra, geometry, trigonometry and one year of physics or chemistry. Students deficient in mathematics must take special preparatory courses, e.g., MATH 125 , which will not carry credit for the major. (See Mathematics Section for Entry Level Mathematics test and Math-Science Qualifying Examination requirements.)
Transfer Students
Transfer students shall complete a minimum of 30 units in residence, at least 15 of which are in upper-division engineering courses. Work taken at another college or university with a “D” (1.0) may not be substituted for upper-division courses.
