Electrical & Computer Engineering Minor
for the Undergraduate Minor in Electrical & Computer Engineering
Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) transforms our day-to-day lives through a multitude of innovative technologies and products related to energy and information exchange. The ECE minor is intended to expose students from other disciplines to the unlimited opportunities for innovation in this exciting field, and to the methodologies and tools used by electrical and computer engineers for the exploration and design of new technologies and products. The minor is open to undergraduates outside the ECE Department. Computer Science majors cannot elect the Computer Engineering Option within the minor.

Footnotes
- 1
If the student will be taking ECE 220 following ECE 120, this requirement will be waived.
- 2
Completion of the minor requires a minimum of 18 hours ECE course work. No additional hours are needed in this category if all courses taken to satisfy the previous requirements are ECE courses. Otherwise choose from any 300 and 400 level classes except ECE 316, ECE 317, ECE 396, ECE 397, ECE 496, ECE 499.
