BS in EE Degree Curriculum

Introduction

All candidates for the bachelor of science (BS) degree in electrical engineering are required to complete a total of 128 semester hours of credit including twenty-four (24) semester hours of general studies courses, forty-two (42) hours of engineering core courses, thirty-seven (37) semester hours of required electrical engineering courses, thirteen (13) semester hours of technical electives, and twelve (12) hours of Tier II electives. A student prepared to enroll in MAC-2311 Calculus I upon matriculation can complete the degree program in 4 and 1/2 years if they follow the suggested course sequence. A detailed advising manual is available in PDF format for FAMU and FSU students. Students should also review ECE departmental policies and procedures.

General Studies Requirements (24 Semester Hours)

Students must satisfy the the General Education (FAMU) or Liberal Studies (FSU) requirements of their home university. In general, all students require six (6) semester credit hours of English and eighteen (18) semester credit hours of humanities and social sciences. However, students are responsible for confirming with their advisor they will satisfy all general studies requirements including CLAST (FAMU and FSU), Gordon Written Work (FAMU and FSU), Oral Competency (FSU), Literature (FSU), and Multicultural (FSU) requirements.

Engineering Core Requirements (42 Semster Hours)

Students must complete forty-two (42) semester hours of engineering core courses including basic science and mathematics. The courses shown in Table I are required.

Electrical Engineering Technical Electives (13 Semester Hours)

In addition degree candidates for the BS in electrical engineering must complete thirteen (13) semester credit hours of technical electives. Any EEL or EEE prefixed course which is not required is considered an electrical engineering technical elective. Three (3) semester hours may be a non-EE or EE technical electives. A non-EE technical elective must be selected from a list of departmentally approved courses. Courses not on the list may be taken with prior approval of the department. One (1) semester hour of technical electives must be an ECE elective laboratory.
