The requirements of the new curriculum, which were effective starting Fall 2005, are listed below:

General Education Requirements (24 Units)

General Education is the basis of an education at the university. It is intended to provide students with a wide range of knowledge and understanding across the major disciplines of science, social science, arts, and humanities. It is also intended to assist students acquire widely relevant abilities such as critical thinking and writing, improve their lifelong learning capacity, and improve their ability to efficiently contribute to our culturally varied community.

Please visit lists of GE coursesOpens in new window that meet your GE requirements.

Technical Electives in Electrical Engineering (15 Units)

Before enrolling in any elective course, approval of the adviser needs to be obtained. Design Project: EGEC 497 (1-3 units), and Independent Study: EGEC 499 (1-3), are elective courses; students must complete a study application form and submit it for approval to the supervising faculty member and the department chair prior to the semester in which the course work is to begin.
