VideoSample A.B./B.E. Program: Electrical Engineering
Students interested in electrical engineering have several options, including
- electronics
- signals and systems
- photonics
The A.B. program below focuses on the fundamentals; 3 separate B.E. sample programs show how students might pursue these options.
Faculty advisors: Professors Garmire, Hansen, Hartov, Lotko, Odame, Streltsov, Sullivan, Trembly
Sample A.B. Major in Engineering Sciences
Common Core (3 courses)
Distributive Core (2 courses)
- ENGS 24: Science of Materials OR ENGS 27: Discrete and Probabilistic Systems
- ENGS 26: Control Theory
Gateway (2 courses)
- ENGS 31: Digital Electronics OR ENGS 32: Electronics: Introduction to Linear and Digital Circuits (Electrical engineering students normally take one for gateway credit and the other as an elective for the A.B. or B.E.)
- One course from ENGS 33-37
Electives (2 courses)
- ENGS 31: Digital Electronics OR ENGS 32: Electronics: Introduction to Linear and Digital Circuits
- PHYS 19: Introductory Physics III
Culminating Experience
Engineering Sciences majors complete a culminating experience, which is part of a course (either as one of the two electives or as an additional course). Normally taken during the senior year, the course is chosen from the culminating experience list on the Engineering Sciences Major page.
