Advising Notes
- Courses in mathematics, the physical sciences, or engineering taken CR/NC are not counted toward fulfillment of degree requirements in electrical engineering.
- Electrical engineering majors might consider a math minor (see faculty adviser for details).
- All electrical engineering students must consult with their academic adviser at least once each year.
- The Upper-Division Writing Skills requirements can be met by passing the university examination or completing an upper-division writing course with a letter grade of C or better no sooner than the term in which 60 units of coursework are completed. The writing course units are not counted toward the required 130 program units.
- ENGR 101 may be taken instead of MATH 81.
- The prerequisites for ECE 186A are ECE 85, 85L, 90, 90L, 102, 118, 124, 128, 128L; one lab from ECE 119L, 120L, 121L, 134L, 138L, 155L; and two courses from ECE 121, 134, 138, 155.
- Students must enroll in and complete ECE 1 during the first two semesters of attendance at Fresno State.
- The following prerequisite courses must be completed with a letter grade of C or better: ECE 71, 72, 85, 85L, 90, 90L.
Prerequisites: Students violating any course prerequisites may be required to take an additional course (if they earned a C) or repeat a course (if they earned a D or less.) Repeated violations of prerequisites may trigger disciplinary action.
Electrical Engineering Minor
The minor requires 21 units total, of which 9 units must be exclusive (not double counted for a major or another minor).
All students pursuing the minor must complete the following courses: ECE 71 or CSCI 40, ECE 72, 85, 90 or 91, 102, 124, 128 or 121.
If short in exclusive units, select from the following with the chair's approval: ECE 85L, 90L, 118, 120L, 121, 126, 128, 128L, 134, 138, 138L, 173.
Minor Advising Note
- All course prerequisites are enforced.
- Courses in minor must be taken for a letter grade.
- The Electrical Engineering Minor requires 2.0 GPA and 9 upper-division units in residence.
