This is a suggested schedule for students wishing to complete their degree in 4 years. The number of units required in each semester can be reduced by taking some courses during summer school or by spreading the program out over a longer time period. Students are encouraged to meet regularly with an advisor.

*Start Math/Science electives if they include chemistry or Biology; otherwise start them in the Fall of the sophomore year.
1 Math/Science electives must be selected from the list on the next page.
2 See “Engineering Major General Education Planning Form”.
3 CompE Electives must be selected from the list on the next page. A 4‐unit course indicates a lecture/lab course, while a 3 unit course is lecture only.
Students are always recommended to take the lab for lecture/lab courses. See “Instructions for Filing Senior Program”, available in the ECE Department Office.
**Upper Division writing exam should be completed before the beginning of the Spring Semester in the Junior Year.
