The department offers a concentration for undergraduates who are interested in the fields of power system and power electronics. This concentration pulls together currently-offered courses to provide students with an in-depth focus towards control systems, operations, planning, system components, power electronics, and circuits.
Progression Policies and Requirements
The department requires at least a C in every computer engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, and mathematics course used for the undergraduate degrees.
Progression of departmental undergraduate students to the upper-division programs of the department is competitive and is based on the space available in the department. Factors considered in the decision include overall grade point average, grades earned in courses required in the lower-division curricula of the department and Tickle College of Engineering, and seriousness of purpose and interest in departmental programs as exemplified by regular and orderly progress through the prescribed curriculum without abuse of withdrawal and course repeat privileges.
Students who take ECE 202 will be evaluated during the semester they are registered for it. Transfer students for whom ECE 202 transfer credit is given may take 9 semester hours in departmental courses before progression evaluation. All students, whether or not they transfer in, who are not accepted into the upper-division program of the department will be put in either a temporary probationary status or a non-progressed status and will not be permitted to register for any upper-division courses within the department.
