NOTES
All courses are core courses except for technical complementaries, laboratory complementaries and general complementaries. Core courses are shown in boldface above. All core courses must be passed with a grade "C" or better. Also, a grade of "C" is required for an ECSE xxx core course in order to proceed with its follow-on ECSE xxx course(s), and a grade of "C" is required for a MATH xxx course in order to proceed with its follow-on MATH xxx course(s). A grade of "D" is only acceptable for non-core courses (ie - technical, laboratory, and general complementaries).
Technical Complementary courses are selected from this list.
The Lab Complementary course is normally taken in conjuction with a technical complementary. The courses ECSE 426 - Microprocessor Systems, ECSE 431 - Intro. to VLSI CAD, ECSE 435 - Mixed Signal Test Techniques, ECSE 436 Signal Processing Hardware and ECSE 450 Electromagnetic Compatibility, can be taken as a technical complementary or a lab complementary. If taken as a lab, they are still 3 credits courses.
General Complementary courses must be chosen according to the rules in Section 8.3.4 of the 2007-2008 Â鶹AV Calendar, page 225.
This sample curriculum is only for students who wish to complete their degree requirements in 7 semesters. Students may, at any time, deviate from this structure. However, it will be the student's responsibility to devise a study plan that has no course conflicts or prerequisite/corequisite violations. Academic advisors are available for course selection.
