Electrical Engineering (BSEE) - Comprehensive Track

Program Overview

Students can choose from a wide range of technical electives to tailor their studies to their specific interests, and the program includes a capstone senior design project that gives students the opportunity to apply their knowledge to real-world problems. With a focus on student success, the program requires regular academic advisement and encourages students to take the Fundamentals Exam during their senior year.

Other:

• The College of Engineering & Computer Science requires all engineering students to achieve a minimum 2.250 GPA in completing these courses, together with the courses required for the major, technical elective courses, and with the senior design courses.
• Independent study courses generally do not satisfy major requirements.
• The Electrical Engineering program offers the Accelerated BS/MS Program to students of high academic standing.
This program allows up to twelve hours to be shared between the BS and MS degrees.
• Courses transferred must be formally evaluated for equivalency credit.
• EGS 1006C and EGN 1007C are required courses for incoming freshmen only.
The credits for these two courses (one hour each) may, with prior approval of the department academic advisor, be moved to the Technical Elective area.
• Program Academic Learning Compacts (student learning outcomes) for undergraduate programs are located at: http://www.oeas.ucf.edu/alc/academic_learning_compacts.htm
• Each engineering student should meet with their academic advisor in the department of their major regularly.
• Each student should seek academic advisement before registering for classes each semester to minimize excess hours and to ensure that satisfactory academic progress is being maintained.
