Electrical and Computer Engineering Programs
Requisites must be satisfied for a student to enroll in a course. Engineering majors must earn a grade of C- or better in all engineering, mathematics, and science courses.
When seeking transfer credit for engineering courses, students are expected to include detailed syllabi, as well as graded assignments and exams, with their petitions requesting course credit. No grade lower than C- will be accepted on any courses transferred to the University of Houston.
Once a student has attempted 6 semester hours of ECE courses, a cumulative major GPA of 2.25 or better must be maintained to continue in good standing in the major. The major grade point average is calculated using all ECE courses as well as all Engineering Computing XXXX 1331 courses. For computer engineering majors, the major grade point average will also include all COSC courses that could be applied to the Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering degree. For electrical engineering majors, the major grade point average will also include all COSC courses that could be applied to the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree.
A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.000 in all courses attempted at the University of Houston is required for graduation. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.000 in all courses of the major attempted at the University of Houston is also required for graduation.
The number of attempts at an ECE course is limited to two. Attempt is defined as formal enrollment (registration) that results in a student’s name being listed on an official grade report, which includes grades of W and I.
A minimum grade point average of 3.00 and consent of graduate director is required for an undergraduate or post-baccalaureate student to enroll in electrical and computer engineering graduate courses (6000 and above).
(1) Students with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering who want to pursue a second bachelor’s degree in computer engineering, (2) students with a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering who want to pursue a second bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, and (3) students who want to pursue the two degrees simultaneously must meet all requirements for each degree including residency requirements. In addition, University policy requires that a student must earn a minimum of 30 semester hours in addition to the minimum hours needed for the first degree, regardless of whether the two degrees are awarded simultaneously or successively.
A student falling into any one of the three categories above must file a petition with the ECE Department, indicating precisely which courses will comprise the additional 30 hours. Such petitions must be approved by the department at least one term prior to completion of the second degree. It is not possible to earn both a B.S.C.P.E. and a B.S.E.E. degree without following these regulations.
