Choice of EE options and Technical Electives
5.3 Choice of EE Options and Technical Electives
There are twenty-seven (27) credit hours of technical electives required.
Of these 27 credit hours, at least 12 credit hours must be taken in electrical engineering (ELEC) courses which are referred to as "EE technical electives".
Each EE undergraduate student must choose one of the options listed in Table 1 for the EE technical electives.
TABLE 1. Electrical Engineering Options
| 1. Communications & Signal Processing | Elec 462, 463, 464, 465, 410 |
2. Electromagnetic Fields and Optics |
Elec 408, 467, 468, 480, 486 |
3. Electronics and Computer Engineering |
Elec 361, 469, 470, 475 |
4. Energy and Power Systems |
Elec 406, 438, 444, 428 |
5. Materials and Devices |
Elec 417, 420, 421, 422 |
Of these 12 credit hours, 6 credit hours must be taken from one of the five EE options listed (including at least one Bold course).
In addition, at least one 3 credit hour course from a different EE Option must be taken. The remaining 3 credits may be satisfied by any non-required 300 or 400 level electrical engineering courses except ELEC 399.
The remaining 15 credit hours of technical electives which are referred to as "other technical electives" may be taken from any 300 or 400 level course offering (with the exception of those listed in Table 2) in the Department of Electrical Engineering or in any other engineering department within the College of Engineering at UN-L, or in the Departments of Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Computer Science and Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics, or Physics and Astronomy at UN-L. In addition, a list of courses at the 100 and 200 level, which also will be accepted as technical elective credits, are listed in Table 3.
In place of a maximum of 6 credit hours of technical electives, up to two courses may be selected from one of the Business Options listed in Table 4. In order for business courses to count as a Business Option, the courses cannot be taken Pass/No Pass.
No more than a total of 3 credit hours may be taken in ELEC 399 or similar offerings from other departments.
