NOTES:
*General Education Elective: Courses may be in communications, mathematics, natural science, humanities, social science, physical education, or other areas that count toward the college's general education requirements. *Advisor Approved Elective: Courses that meet degree-specific requirements, which may include university, college, department requirements, and electives.

The minimum number of credits for the degree is 128, not counting Engl 101, Math 143, and other courses that might be required to remove deficiencies.

Students majoring in electrical engineering must earn a grade of P in ECE 292 and a grade of C or better in each of the following courses before registration is permitted in upper-division electrical and computer engineering courses: Chem 111, CS 112 or 120, ECE 210, 211, 212, 213, 240 and 241; Engr 210, and 220; Math 170, 175, 275, and 310; and Phys 211, 212. Students majoring in electrical engineering or computer engineering must meet the college requirements for admission to classes (see 'Admission to Classes' under College of Engineering, part four).

Any student majoring in electrical engineering may accumulate no more than a total of 14 credits of D's and F's in mathematics, science, or engineering courses that are used to satisfy graduation requirements. Included in this number are multiple repeats of a single course or single repeats in multiple courses and courses transferred from other institutions.

Within the constraints on choice of technical electives noted above, students may choose sets of electives to develop proficiencies in certain areas of emphasis. Three such areas are currently available, one in communications, one in integrated circuit design, and one in power.

Curriculum plans are intended as advising tools only, not a contract between the student and the university, and are subject to verification by the student's academic advisor and/or department chair. The University of Idaho reserves the right to change, amend, or discontinue any articulation agreement or curriculum plan at any time.
