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 moving some courses into summer school or by spreading the program out over a longer time period. Students are encouraged to meet regularly with an advisor.

*ECE Electives must be selected from the list below. These electives may include ECE 370L and/or ECE 480L. A 4‐unit course indicates a lecture/lab course, while a 3 unit course is lecture only. Students are always requested to take the lab for lecture/lab courses. See “Instructions for Filing Senior Program”, available in the ECE Department Office.
** See “Engineering Major General Education Planning Form”.
*** Upper Division writing exam should be completed before the beginning of the Fall Semester in the Junior Year.
