Cullen College of Engineering > Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering > Electrical Engineering, B.S.E.E.
ECE Base
In the ECE Department, taking courses in either degree plan is organized into two phases. The first two years are the ECE Base. The ECE Base provides fundamental skills math, science, and electrical engineering, and is identical for BSEE and BSCpE majors.
BSEE Degree Plan
In the last two years of the BSEE degree plan, students must choose one of six Concentration Areas. The Concentration Area allows the student to choose a subset of Electrical Engineering that is of particular interest to the student, while still encouraging the student to take courses in related areas.
All students in the BSEE program must submit an Application for Concentration Area (available in the ECE Department) prior to enrolling in their first Concentration Elective. The student will then be assigned a Faculty Advisor in the chosen Concentration Area. Following the initial advising session with the Faculty Advisor, the student may enroll in the Concentration Area.
The Electrical Engineering Major GPA is calculated using all ECE courses as well as all Engineering Computing XXXX 1331 courses. In addition, 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.
