* Students may take Physics 0160 in place of ECE 1259 and 1266. Students who use this option will still need to complete a total of 5 ECE electives.
DESIGN: ECE 1160, ECE 1161, ECE 1192, ECE 1193, ECE 2391, ECE 1896 (ECE 1898 with approval).
1) Each student must complete at least one (1) approved ECE Design Elective.
2) Each student must complete at least five (5) additional ECE Electives including ECE 1232, ECE 1266, ECE 1240, ECE 1241.
3) Each student must complete CHEM 1410, PHYS 0368, and TELCOM 2222 as Technical Electives.
4) In the sophomore, junior, and senior years, each student must attend the Undergraduate Seminar, ECE 1885, each term (except summer) that they are on campus. Each student must also complete two (2) semesters of ECE 1248 Photonics Seminar in their junior or senior year.
5) The Communications Skills Elective, Technical Electives, Humanities/Social Science Electives, and the Open Elective may be chosen from the appropriate lists of acceptable electives for each category. At least one of these should include a  substantial writing component (WRIT). Of the total requirement of 6 Hum/SS courses, at least 2 must be from the same discipline (i.e. 2 English courses or 2 Economics courses, etc.) and at least one should be from each area (Humanities or Social Science).
          ECE Courses planned for all terms: ECE/CoE 0041, ECE/CoE 0142, ECE 0257, ECE/CoE 0501
          ECE Courses planned for fall and spring: ECE 1552, ECE 1563, ECE 1201
