Chair: Frank J. Claydon

Engineering majors must earn a grade of C- or better in all engineering, mathematics, and science courses. No grade lower than C- will be accepted on any courses transferred to the University of Houston.

Transfer credit for electrical engineering courses will be accepted only from electrical engineering programs which are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

Students must earn a 2.000 grade point average in all courses and in ECE major courses in order to enroll in 3000-level and above ECE courses. A major grade point average of 2.000 or better is required for graduation. The major grade point average is calculated using all ECE courses, except for ECE 1121 and ECE 3336 and 3137 (formerly ECE 2336 and 3333).

A minimum grade point average of 3.0 and consent of graduate director is required for an undergraduate or postbaccalaureate student to enroll in electrical and computer engineering graduate courses (6000 and above).

Electrical engineering students may choose from two degree plan options, both leading to the BSEE degree: the Electrical Engineering Option and the Computer Engineering Option. The first and second years are the same for both options.
