Minor in Electrical Engineering

Program Overview

The Minor in Electrical Engineering at SF State provides students from other disciplines a foundation in electrical engineering. Core courses cover circuit theory, electronics, linear systems, and digital logic. Students can select electives to specialize in areas of interest. The minor requires a minimum GPA of 2.0 and at least 12 units taken at SF State, with 6 upper-division units required.

Program Outline

Degree Overview:

The Minor in Electrical Engineering aims to provide students in other fields of study with a solid foundation in electrical engineering. It covers core areas like basic electrical circuit theory, electronics, linear signals and systems, and digital logic and computer architecture. Students can choose elective courses to deepen their knowledge in specific areas of interest. To pursue the minor, students need to meet with the program coordinator and complete an approval form.
