The following courses are required to satisfy both G.E. and additional requirements: MATH 75 [B4], CHEM 3A [B1], PHIL 1 or 10 [C2], ECE 186B [IB], PHIL 120 [IC], PLSI 120 or BA 104 [M/I], ECON 40 or 50 [D3], BIOL 10 [B2]

--- Additional requirements ---
MATH 76, 77, 81
PHYS 4A; PHYS 4B, 4BL; PHYS 4C; choose one from ECE 191T, MATH 121, 123, 152, 128, 171, 181, 182 (see Advising Notes)

Total (128-129 units)

__________

Note: Engineering majors are exempt from G.E. Area A3, third course Area C, Area E, and Area ID.

Advising Notes

1. Courses in mathematics, the physical sciences, or engineering taken CR/NC are not counted toward fulfillment of degree requirements in electrical engineering.
2. Electrical engineering majors might consider a math minor (see faculty adviser for details).
3. All electrical engineering students must consult with their academic adviser at least once each year.
4. The Upper-Division Writing Skills requirements can be met by passing the university examination or completing an upper-division writing course with a letter grade of C or better no sooner than the term in which 60 units of coursework are completed. The writing course units are not counted toward the required 128 program units.
5. If ECE 191T is chosen, it must be the mathematical analysis in electrical engineering section of the course.
6. With adviser approval, ENGR 101 may be taken instead of MATH 81.
7. The prerequisites for ECE 186A are ECE 85, 85L, 90, 90L, 102, 118, 124, 128, 128L; one lab from ECE 119LA, 119LB, 120L, 121L, 138L; and two courses from ECE 121, 134, 138, 155.
8. Students must enroll in and complete ECE 1 during the first two semesters of attendance at Fresno State.

Prerequisites: Students violating any course prerequisites may be required to take an additional course (if they earned a C) or repeat a course (if they earned a D or less.) Repeated violations of prerequisites may trigger disciplinary action.
