Traditionally the largest and most diverse in all of engineering, this curriculum offers courses with various degrees of emphasis on theory, design, experimental work, and computer simulation. Subject matter ranges from semiconductors and electromagnetics to circuits and electronics, and to large-scale control, computer, communication, and information processing systems.

Students are urged to elect humanities and social science sequences through which they will obtain adequate breadth and depth in subject areas. Students desiring minors in Humanities and Social Sciences must consult the school or department in which the courses are offered to obtain further information and specific requirements. Restricted Elective
Any course with the designation EPOW, ECSE, or ENGR 4xxx. Multidisciplinary Electives
Design Electives
Design electives can be described as “multidisciplinary” (ECSE 4900) or “depth of understanding.” Students should visit the ECSE homepage for help with design elective selection. Concentration Electives
