CURRICULUM INFORMATION

2003-05 EE Curriculum EE majors will take the same courses during most of their first three years at Cal Poly. At the end of the third year, students will follow either an EL (Electronic) or EE (Electrical) block of courses, depending on their interests. In the senior year students will select approved technical elective courses to take as part of their program of study, also according to their interests. See the CENG Engineering Advising Center for information on pre-2003-05 curricula.

Flow Chart for EE Curriculum: 2003-05 The EE curriculum flowchart on the following page presents quarterly sequencing for logical course registration. The chart shows orderly prerequisite sequencing as well. These will serve as useful guides to students when planning course registration. The student should consult the current catalog for the exact prerequisites for each course. Courses taken in the sequence given in the flow chart will satisfy course prerequisites. The department strictly enforces prerequisites. See page 22 for more on the department’s prerequisite policy.

Double Majors A double major between EE and CPE is not allowed because of the amount of course overlap. Students, if they are convinced of its advisability, may carry a double major such as EE and Math, EE and Chemistry, EE and Physics, etc. They must satisfy the curriculum requirements of both departments concerned. A student who wants to submit only one Senior Project covering two graduation majors must file a petition for special consideration before the date of commencing the Senior Project. No more than one diploma or degree will be granted. The diploma will simply list two majors. See www.ee.calpoly.edu/CENGAC for further information.

Minors There are many minors available at Cal Poly. Typical minors for our students include Computer Science, Mathematics, Philosophy and Music. Minor information is available in the Cal Poly catalog and the department offices that offer the respective minor. See www.ee.calpoly.edu/CENGAC for further information.

Catalog Rights Catalog rights are based on continuous college enrollment. Freshmen students can choose the catalog they entered on or any catalog that is in effect at the time they graduate from Cal Poly (they can also choose the catalogs in the middle). Transfer students can choose the catalog they entered on when they started their community college or the catalog they entered on when they started at Cal Poly or the catalog that is in effect at the time they graduate from Cal Poly (they can also choose the catalogs that were available between the time they entered Cal Poly and graduation from Cal Poly). Questions on catalog rights should be directed to the Evaluations Office at 756-2796.

ABET Requirements The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology is the national accrediting organization for college and university engineering curricula. The department’s curricula must meet the ABET requirements. Your advisor and/or Department Chair can probably answer any questions you may have about detailed ABET requirements and how they are met.

General Education and Breadth Requirements The EE Faculty desires that your learning at Cal Poly be an exciting and enjoyable experience that can be savored for a lifetime. A significant portion of each curriculum offered at Cal Poly is designated “General Education and Breadth” (GE&B) and is included with the purpose of providing a means by which Cal Poly graduates: (a) will have achieved the ability to think clearly and logically, to find and critically examine

information, to communicate orally and in writing and to perform quantitative functions (b) will have acquired appreciable knowledge about their own minds and bodies, about how

human society developed and how it functions, about the physical world in which they live, about the other forms with which they share that world, and about the endeavors and legacies of their civilizations

(c) will have come to an understanding of the principles, methodologies, value systems and thought processes employed in human inquires.

COURSE INFORMATION

Typical Course Time Requirement Students should be aware that a typical lecture course requires two hours of work (sometimes more) outside of class for every hour spent in class.

Credit by Examination If a student is confident that the material given in a particular course is thoroughly known based on previous education or experience, the student may request credit by examination. A fee is charged for the examination, which may include written, oral, skills, tests, or any combination of these. The student is strongly advised to talk to the course instructor about the course content before pursuing the credit by examination route since the grade received on the examination will be the course grade. Credit is not possible for students who have previously had the course at Cal Poly and failed it. The Credit by Examination Form is obtained from the Records Office in the Administration Building.

APPROVED TECHNICAL ELECTIVES

Areas of Technical Emphasis The Electrical Engineering Department has designated specific areas of technical elective emphasis. A student is not constrained to follow any one of these specific areas but may plan instead a program in conjunction with the student’s faculty advisor to meet specified needs. However, because a few specific areas are frequently selected for emphasis by seniors, the following pages list recommended courses that could be taken in these areas and are offered to assist the senior student and faculty advisor in planning a meaningful senior program. A student and his/her faculty advisor should complete the EE Technical Elective Program Definition Form (see example on page 16), which may be obtained from outside the EE Department Office or the CENG Advising Center. Approved technical electives may also be found via the “EE/CPE Course Info” link at www.ee.calpoly.edu. Basic Areas of Technical Emphasis 1. Courses selected for the technical electives must make up a sensible program, with the majority

of technical electives typically coming from one of the areas of emphasis summarized below. 2. The courses must be upper-division courses, i.e. EE/CPE 300 or 400-level courses. (the one

exception is CSC 215/221.)

3. All majors must take two senior-level EE or EE/CPE labs. Labs tied to courses, such as E410, will meet this requirement. (Do not plan to count EE 400 as meeting this requirement.)

4. At least two of the technical elective lecture courses must lie in the student’s own major (EE/CPE courses) and be senior level. (Do not plan to count EE 400 as meeting this requirement.)

5. Limited flexibility may permit a student to emphasize or concentrate in an area not specified

below, but the proposed program must make good sense and must be approved by the student’s faculty advisor.

6. Although EE 400 and most EE 470, 471 sections can count as approved technical electives, not necessarily all are acceptable, and these must be considered on an individual basis.

7. Students may receive EE 400 support technical elective credit for their Co-op experience under certain conditions. Policies and instructions for receiving this credit are found on the application form on the following page.

GENERAL INFORMATION/INSTRUCTIONS The majority of new students begin their course of study at Cal Poly in the Fall quarter of the academic school year. Because of this, specific and special registration procedures have been set up for new students and former returning students. The preliminary steps to be followed are:

New/Continuing Students (New students are first-time undergraduate and graduate students or transfers who have never been enrolled at Cal Poly. A new student is classified as a continuing student after paying his/her first quarter registration fees.)

1. New students are expected to attend the Dean’s meeting for all new engineering students held

the week before classes start (this is done Fall quarter only). On conclusion of this meeting, all EE majors will be directed to meet with the department (time/building will be announced) where the Department Chair will introduce the representatives of the EE Department, related clubs and societies. They will offer general suggestions and cautions to aid the student in successfully fulfilling major requirements.

Following the EE Department new student meeting, students should see their faculty advisors. Students will find the name and room location of their EE advisors listed on the bulletin board outside the Advising Center or the EE Department Office. Advisees may see advisors in their offices during that afternoon.

2. Materials provided to students before coming to the meeting include a class schedule, which

includes instructions on how to register through Cal Poly’s touch-tone user registration (CAPTURE) or Web registration (POWER) and a departmental advisement letter/flowchart. If your forms are lost or destroyed, contact the Admissions Office in the Administration Building.

3. Refer to the registration information section in the class schedule for instructions concerning

registration and the payment of fees. A printed class list listing the courses in which you have enrolled will be mailed to your PERMANENT address. A receipt and a sticker for validating your campus services card will also be included. New students should refer to instructions in the departmental advisement letters and to information regarding newly admitted students. Students are responsible for all courses on their printed class lists.

Continuing Students 1. Check the class schedule for specific registration dates. 2. Remember that fees must be received two working days prior to your scheduled registration

date. Use the fee payment coupon and envelope provided in the class schedule to submit your fees to the University Cashier. If you are on campus, you may deposit the fee payment coupon and your fee payment in the drop box or with the University Cashier, Administration Building, room 131-E, between 8 am and 4 pm. Registration materials may also be deposited in the drop box located in the Reserve Room of the Kennedy Library during the hours the room is open.

3. Clear all holds before registration. Holds may be viewed at www.MustangInfo.calpoly.edu. Students with holds will not be able to access CAPTURE until the hold is removed.

- 11 -

4. A printed list of your classes will be sent to your PERMANENT address. A receipt, as

well as a sticker validating your campus services card, will be included. Students are responsible for all classes appearing on their printed class list; students should drop/add courses as appropriate.

Add-Drop & Withdrawal Procedures 1. Adding/Dropping Classes After Registration

Adding and dropping classes is allowed through CAPTURE until the end of the official deadline published in the class schedule. Instructions explaining the adding/dropping of classes is explained in the subcategory “How to Add and Drop Classes” in the class schedule. Please note that add/drop deadlines are strictly adhered to by the Office of Academic Records and the EE Department. Students and not the instructors or department office, are responsible for their schedules. Make sure you are properly registered for your courses. Do not depend on the instructor to drop you if you are not attending class.

2. Withdrawing From a Course

Before the end of the 7th week of instruction, a student may petition to withdraw from a course for serious and compelling reasons. The student will receive a “W” for the course only if the petition is approved by both the instructor and the Department Chair*. The Petition to Withdraw from a course may be obtained from the Records Office. Signatures required for the withdrawal form must be obtained in the order they appear on the form.

Student Schedules Student schedules are available at www.MustangInfo.calpoly.edu. After the official registration period ends a printed list of your classes will be sent to your PERMANENT address. Students are expected to check their lists. If the list is incorrect, the STUDENT IS RESPONSIBLE for initiating changes; consult the Records Office for assistance to insure receiving proper credit and grades.

Lockers Lockers are available for a quarterly fee in the north and south hallways of Building 20 for EE and CPE majors ONLY. To obtain a locker, pick up a pay envelope and instructions in the EE Department office (20-200). Lockers are assigned on a first come first serve basis. Lockers are inspected periodically to see if they are being used without the required fee having been paid. If so, those locks may be cut without notification.

* The CENG Advisor, Stacey Breitenbach, acts on behalf of the EE Department Chair in evaluating a

student’s “serious and compelling reasons” for withdrawal. After obtaining the instructor’s signature, students attempting to withdraw should submit their Withdrawal form to the Advising Center for the Department Chair signature.

E-mail Accounts, Newsgroup, and Web Site All enrolled EE students should create an electronic mail account on Central UNIX at a campus terminal. Information and assistance on computing at Cal Poly may be found at www.calpoly.edu/~amspec/guide99/Guide99.html.

- 12 -

Miscellaneous information on scholarship opportunities, senior project opportunities, etc. is often e-mailed to the students. Information about the department may be found at www.ee.calpoly.edu. E-mail is the primary means of communication between the students and the department, so it is important that students regularly read their e-mail.

Turning in Homework Some instructors have students submit homework and labs to the faculty mailboxes in the department office. If this is the method used by your instructor, a wooden box for ALL homework may be found on the front counter in the department office. Make sure your instructor’s name is on all items. Your homework will either be placed into your instructor’s mailbox by office staff, or your instructor will check both the basket and his/her mailbox to make sure all homework is received. Items are not time-stamped.

When Are You a Senior? The University classifies all students who have earned 135 or more course credits as “seniors.”

Preparing for Graduation The EE student must assume responsibility for meeting all the requirements for graduation; the department is available to support the student in this responsibility. Students should complete the steps outlined below to prepare for graduation. Detailed information on these steps may be found at www.ee.calpoly.edu/CENGAC. • Request a senior evaluation via a form in the Records Office three quarters prior to your planned graduation date. • Process a technical elective form three quarters prior to planned graduation date. • Satisfy the graduation writing requirement (GWR) prior to graduation. • Satisfy the U. S. Cultural Pluralism Requirement (USCP) prior to graduation (1994 to current catalogs only). • Notify the Financial Aid office that you are graduating (for financial aid students only). Information on participating in university commencement ceremonies may be found at www.calpoly.edu/~slad/commencement.html. The EE Department hosts a graduation ceremony for its graduates each Spring quarter, directly following the university ceremony. Information on this ceremony is usually available from the department mid-May. Please note that participation in commencement ceremonies is not equivalent to having met graduation requirements.

Additional Information Further information regarding financial aid, fee payments, non-resident tuition and instructions for registration can be found in the first few pages of the class schedule, purchased each quarter by the student.

COMMUNITY COLLEGE TRANSFER INFORMATION If the transferee from any collegiate institution has complied on schedule with the transfer admissions procedure, the Evaluations Office will have evaluated the transcripts of prior work against the major curriculum sheet and will have provided the department with a copy showing the allowance of transfer credit. Nearly all two-year public colleges in California have current articulation agreements with this university. These articulation agreements show, course-by-course, the courses which transfer for credit against Cal Poly courses. If the student has any questions on the transference of any course, the student should make an appointment with the Academic Advisor for the purpose of presenting evidence of accomplishment and discussion. If the prior work is indeed of the same coverage and academic level, the Department Chair and the Academic Advisor will recommend acceptance in-transfer. If the student has taken courses in electric circuits with a year of university-transferable calculus as a prerequisite, such a course may be acceptable in-transfer for EE 11/151, 112, 211, and EE 212 (and their associated laboratories) on recommendation of the Department Chair. No credit will be given for Electronic Technology courses. PHYS 133 may be taken concurrently with EE 211 or 212, providing the student has a physics course (mechanics portion) and differential and integral calculus including multiple integration, as prerequisites. If a transfer or a first-time freshman student finds during the first four weeks of a math class that the class is too advanced, the student may investigate the possibility of dropping back to a lower level course. This is accomplished via a Special Transfer Procedure. The Records Office can supply the form and information for such a transfer. Feel free to discuss such problems with your course instructor and academic advisor when necessary. Transfer students who have completed a minimum two-year pre-engineering college program may be able to complete the Electrical Engineering curriculum in an additional two years. For this to be possible, the course work completed at the community college must meet the following minimum requirements: 1. Completion of engineering mathematics through differential equations. (The equivalent of completing courses through Math 242 at Cal Poly.)

2. Completion of Engineering level physics for the equivalent of three semesters including

elementary work in atomic physics. (The equivalent of Cal Poly’s Physics 131, 132, 133, and elements of Physics 211.)

3. Sufficient other pre-engineering courses equivalent to MATE 210, ME 211 and others at Cal Poly so that the course units required in the remaining two years will not constitute an abnormal load.

4. Completion of the State’s general education requirements. There are some courses in the

freshman year outside of the above-mentioned courses for which a transfer student may not have credit. In general, we expect to treat each student’s case individually and may require make-up of some courses.

- 14 -

Note that the typical community college transfer will need to take two quarters of coursework before they start the Junior year sequence. However, starting the summer quarter will allow graduation in two years, i.e., the second June after entrance.

University Policies The student is advised to carefully read the section of the University Catalog under the major section entitled Academic Policies (not listed in catalog index). In particular, the student is advised to study the sub-sections on Academic Probation or Disqualification and Administrative Academic Probation or Disqualification. Those are listed in the index under Dismissal and Disqualification. Information on College of Engineering Minimum Progress Requirements and Academic/Administrative Probation and Disqualification policies and procedures may be found at www.ee.calpoly.edu/CENGAC or by contacting the CENG advising Center. At the first sign of academic difficulty, the student should take steps appropriate to the problem or situation. Consult the Advising Center and/or Department Chair. Check with the Learning Assistance Center to see if that Center can serve your needs. Above all, do not hesitate to seek the advise of your advisor. Focus on the following: 1. Work hard and become a good student. See “How to be a Student” at

www.ee.calpoly.edu/~jbreiten/htbas.html for helpful tips and information.

2. Learn how to study.

3. Attempt to transfer to a major more compatible with your abilities and interests. 4. Seek tutoring help. 5. Withdraw from the University and apply for admission at another campus accepting applicants

in a major more suited to your ability and interest. 6. Withdraw from the University, seek employment and become convinced that you are able to

achieve success as a student in Electrical Engineering. When so convinced, apply for re-admission as a former student.

EE Department Policies

Audit Policy (a) Students who want to audit, MUST NOT CAPTURE THE COURSE before having the Audit

Form signed by the CENG Advising Center, which will be done during the second week of the quarter if space is available in one of the sections of the course. (the instructor will not sign the form).

The Audit Form WILL NOT BE SIGNED IF THE STUDENT HAS PREVIOUSLY ENROLLED IN THE COURSE FOR CREDIT. If a student enrolls in a course and later tries to change to audit status, their request for audit will be denied.

- 15 -

(b) A student who audits a course may not later challenge the course.

(c) A student who audits a course must have successfully completed the prerequisite course(s) listed in the current catalog.

Concurrent Enrollment (Extended Education) a) The CENG Advising Center will sign the form for the “Instructor.” b) The CENG Advising Center will sign the form for the “Department Chair.” The CENG

Advising Center signature for Department Chair will not be given until after the last day to “Add” classes, after checking the enrollment levels in the various sections of the course. The instructor will be given a copy of the form.

c) Course prerequisites must have been successfully completed. d) Co-requisite lectures and labs must be taken at the same time.

Prerequisites Often, students with registration priority will hold spaces in course sections for lower priority students through CAPTURE. It is unethical to register for a course for the sole purpose of holding a space for someone else. Many students also try to take courses without first completing course prerequisites. It is EE Department policy to strictly enforce prerequisite requirements. CAPTURE will automatically bar students missing course prerequisites from registering for most EE courses. Course prerequisites not checked by CAPTURE may be checked manually by the department staff. Please make sure you 1) need to take the course; and 2) have fulfilled course prerequisites before registering. Registered students found lacking prerequisites may be dropped from the course BEFORE the last drop deadline if the department becomes aware of it. Students found lacking prerequisites AFTER the last drop deadline may be given a grade of “U” or “F.”

Lecture and Lab Linking Most lectures and their corresponding labs must be taken concurrently (see quarterly Class Schedule for co-requisite information). This policy will be enforced through CAPTURE/POWER. Students wishing to RETAKE LECTURES OR LABS ONLY should contact the EE Department Office shortly before they are eligible to register; DO NOT CAPTURE THE COURSE(S). These students will register through a special method via the department office.

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING ACADEMIC STANDARDS The College of Engineering Dean’s Office has clarified some mechanics pertaining to certain student-related issues listed in the Cal Poly catalog. The “ADD” indicates an addition to what is already stated in the catalog. GRADING

Incomplete (Authorized – I) In awarding an “I” the instructor will submit, with the department grade sheet, a contract signed by the student listing remaining requirements and the date by which said requirements will be fulfilled. Along with this contract, the instructor will fill out a signed default grade change designating “I” to “F” with the date agreed upon for completion of requirements. The department will hold the grade change forms in a calendar file for submission to the Records Office as it comes due. As the student completes the remaining requirements, on schedule, the instructor will submit a new grade change, which will replace the default grade change.

Incomplete (Unauthorized – U) A “U” grade should not be changed to an “I” grade! If the instructor wishes to let the student make

up work sufficient to improve the grade, the same procedure described for an “I” grade should be followed.

Withdrawal for the Term See comments under “WITHDRAWALS FROM COURSES.” Also, retroactive withdrawals will

be considered only when there is solid evidence that the problem quarter was an anomaly. This may be demonstrated at Cal Poly or at other schools per written agreement with the Dean’s Office. Administrative – Academic Probation of Disqualification

Students may be placed on administrative probation if they take more than one course per quarter outside their declared curriculum. Such students will be formally notified of their probationary status and required to agree to maintain satisfactory progress toward graduation or be subject to disqualification. Students who withdraw for a term will be placed on administrative probation. They will be formally notified of their probationary status and required to agree to maintain satisfactory progress toward graduation or be subject to disqualification.

WHAT IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO GO TO GRADUATE SCHOOL?

Application Schedule Students seeking admission to graduate school should generally have a GPA greater than 3.0 for their last two years of study and have a satisfactory score on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Contact Cal Poly’s Assessment and Testing Center (Bldg. 124, Room 121) for information on the administration of the GRE test. Requests for graduate school applications should be made early, at least a year before the entrance date. It is recommended that students apply by January for Fall admission. Early application is essential for obtaining financial support through fellowship and/or Teaching and Research Assistantships. It is not unreasonable to expect some sort of financial assistance while attending

- 17 -

graduate school full-time. Please see the Advising Center, your Faculty Advisor, the Graduate Coordinator, or the Department Chair if you have any questions regarding graduate school.

Joint BSEE/MSEE Honors Program The Electrical Engineering Department offers an Honors Program for students to pursue joint Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering. This program is described in the current Cal Poly catalog. A feature of this program is to allow the use of a project for fulfillment of the requirements for both the Master’s Thesis (EE 599) and Senior Project (EE 463/464). In this case, a separate senior project deliverable is not required. Junior-level (approximate) students with a minimum Cal Poly cumulative GPA of 3.5 are invited to attend an information session organized by the EE Department Graduate Coordinator, where they are given information on the program and the application process. Further details on the joint BSEE/MSEE program may be obtained from the Graduate Coordinator.

Master of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering The Electrical Engineering Department offers a Master’s degree program. This degree program is described in the current Cal Poly catalog. Essentially, this degree requires 45 quarter hours, broken down as follows: a) core of 16 units b) a minimum of 12 units of additional electrical engineering graduate courses c) at least 17 units of approved electives d) at least 28 units of the 45 unit program at the 500 level. Further details on the MSEE program may also be obtained from the EE Department.

Other Graduate Schools The top 20% of our graduating students are encouraged to go immediately to graduate school. A number of our students over the past few years have attended UC Berkeley, Stanford, UC Santa Barbara, Caltech, University of Michigan and other well-known graduate schools. The selection of a graduate school is usually made by the student on the basis of what the school’s area of emphasis is and the availability of financial assistance, such as teaching or research assistantships. Applications for admission to graduate schools should be made beginning in December, especially if financial assistance is being sought. Graduate schools have specific application cutoff dates and reference should be made to the graduate catalog for each school. The Graduate Advisor has access to such bulletins and catalogs and can make them available to you as needed. Many graduate schools publish graduate flyers on their programs and these are posted in the hallway outside of the Student Development Lab (20-115). Some graduate fellowship announcements are also posted.

Technical Electives Recommended for Graduate School Preparation If a student knows that he/she is planning on graduate school immediately following completion of their undergraduate program, it would be advisable to study the admission requirements and programs of the intended school to try and ascertain specific courses that would be helpful in the program. Usually, additional preparation in mathematics is most helpful, such as courses in partial

- 18 -

differential equations, real analysis and functions of a complex variable. See your Faculty Advisor for assistance in selecting technical electives that would meet the BS degree requirements and at the same time better prepare you for graduate school.

GETTING A JOB

Campus Recruiting Throughout the school year, recruiters from many of the companies that employ engineers visit the campus to interview Seniors. Most of the recruiting occurs during the latter part of Fall quarter and throughout the Winter quarter. Career Services handles all arrangements for the recruiter. Information on interview dates, employment opportunities, etc. may be obtained from Career Services at www.careerservices.calpoly.edu or by visiting their office, which is located in the Student Services Building across from the football stadium.

Preparation for Interviews Certainly a neat personal appearance is a good investment for a successful job interview. In addition, it is frequently helpful to have a personal resume sheet prepared, which may be left with the recruiter. Even though Career Services provides a recruiting information or resume sheet for you to fill out, your own resume may provide more information and indicate interests and background that you wish to emphasize. Samples and advice are available in Career Services. By far the most successful interview takes place when a student is honest and open about his or her abilities, interests and academic preparation. It also helps if he/she has information about the company.

Other Career Services Activities Career Services offers assistance with summer employment, writing resumes, interviewing, letter writing, follow-up and on-campus interview procedures. See www.careerservices.calpoly.edu for further information.

Other Paths to Employment Some of the smaller specialty companies interested in recruiting engineers may not make it to campus. The best way to make contact with these companies is to write directly to the chief engineer or personnel manager indicating your interest in the company as well as providing a personal resume. Many students have been successful in arranging company visits and making contact with a chief engineer or personnel manager about employment. A number of companies do most of their recruiting through these contacts made by students. Do not overlook the information and other company publications that Career Services has on a number of companies. Familiarizing yourself with relative company information, such as organization, product line, location, etc. prior to interview is advisable.

FUNDAMENTALS OF ENGINEERING EXAM (FIE) (Formerly the EIT Exam) Fifty-five states and/or territories of the U.S. have enacted individual legislation to safeguard life, health and property and to promote public welfare. Registration is a voluntary process and is generally achieved by compliance with three requirements; namely education, satisfactory experience and examination. The examination is given in two parts: the Fundamentals of

- 19 -

Engineering Examination (FE), eight hours, and the Principles and Practice of Engineering Examination (PE), eight hours. As a Senior, you may be eligible to take the FE exam and upon completion of four or more years of qualifying experience acceptable to your state board, you will be eligible to take the PE examination provided all other statutory requirements are satisfied. The requirements for licensure vary among the states; however, once licensed, your registration will be recognized reciprocally by other jurisdictions upon submission of the appropriate verified documentation and satisfaction of other prerequisites. Registration may not seem important or necessary to you right now, but later as you move into positions of higher responsibility registration may be essential. The EE Department recommends that you take the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam before you graduate or as soon as possible afterwards. It is best to take the FE is during the closing months of your undergraduate engineering program, when problem solving techniques for a variety of engineering subjects are fresh in your mind. Seniors who take and pass the Fundamentals of Engineering exam (and qualify for enrollment as Engineers-in-Training) have completed the first step in the licensing process. The best time to start the registration process is now, in your senior year. Don’t put it off until a job opportunity arises which requires registration. See the Dean’s Office or the Advising Center for applications and information on local review sessions for the exam.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS To counter-balance the strictly academic side of study at Cal Poly, students are encouraged to join student organizations that are sponsored for student welfare and enrichment. Some of these organizations are listed below. See the “Student Resources” link at www.ee.calpoly.edu for details/contact information on each organization. Amateur Radio Club (ARC) Involvement in ARC allows the students to practice their ham skills as well as advancing knowledge of radio theory, electronics, and emergency management. Audio Engineering Society (AES) For hi-fi, car audio or sound junkies, AES is the place to meet for tours of studios, design projects, industry talks and audio fun. Electrical Engineering Council (EEC) The EE Council sponsors department-wide events, involves students in departmental decisions and represents student opinions. Electric Vehicle Engineering Club (EVEC) Drive into the future with the EVEC’s electric car: a retrofitted automobile for fully electric operation. This car is raced in several contests throughout the year. IEEE Student Branch (IEEE) The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Student Branch involves itself with department activities, student tutoring and communications with industry. IEEE also sells parts

- 20 -

and surplus electronics, assists with the organization of the department’s Annual Banquet and creates the interactive Electronics Exploratorium for Open House. IEEE Power Engineering Society (PES) PES establishes professional engineering attitudes by involving students in a professional engineering society. It coordinates guest speakers and industry tours, as well as various activities with other clubs. International Society for Optical Engineers (SPIE) SPIE is a technical society dedicated to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge in optical and opto-electronics applied science and engineering. Poly Phase Poly Phase is a social engineering club affiliated with the EE and CPE departments. Its popular campus-wide “Book Exchange” sells used textbooks for students on a consignment basis of 10%, earning more money for the students. Poly Phase is also heavily involved with the Spring Orientation for new incoming students.

HONORS AND HONORARY SOCIETIES The College of Engineering encourages its students to strive for academic excellence. Each quarter a Dean’s List is published for each school listing the students that have carried at least 12 units and achieved a 3.50 grade point average or better. A Dean’s List certificate is awarded to the student. If a student remains on the Dean’s List for three out of four quarters during a single academic year, she/he will be designated as being on the President’s List. For students in the Electrical Engineering Department who do well academically, there are two professionally related Honorary Societies that should be considered. These are: Tau Beta Pi, a National Engineering Honor Society; and Eta Kappa Nu, a National Honor Society for electrical and electronic engineers. In addition, two university-wide honor societies serve the campus: Cardinal Key National Honor Sorority and the Mortar Board Honorary Society. These very important honor societies are described below in the hopes that students will be aware of their existence and strive to attain membership in and recognition by these societies.

Tau Beta Pi Tau Beta Pi is a widely recognized national engineering honor society open to all engineering majors. Along with small service projects, the group conducts at least one major activity each year. Membership in Tau Beta Pi is by invitation only. Any Junior or Senior who is in the top 12.5% or 20% of his/her class, respectively, and who exhibits both high scholarship and exemplary character standards may be invited to join.

Eta Kappa Nu Eta Kappa Nu is the widely recognized International Honor Society exclusively for Electronic, Electrical and Computer Engineers. Since established in 1904, HKN has grown to approximately 200 chapters with 80,000 members across the United States, Europe and Asia.

The potential advantages and opportunities created through membership in this society are numerous. Eta Kappa Nu members are sought after by the best companies for employment.

- 21 -

Eta Kappa Nu seeks to assist its members throughout their lives in becoming better professionals as well as better citizens. The organization encourages its members to be a constructive force, helping fellow members and non-members alike improve the standards of the profession. An international organization, consisting of numerous Alumni Chapters in various cities and corporations, exercises general supervision and correlates the efforts of these groups. A quarterly magazine keeps members informed of organization activities and provides an avenue of contact between graduates and undergraduates. Eta Kappa Nu continues to grow and to influence the progress of the electrical engineering profession through its high ideals about scholarship, character and service to fellow man. Students ranking in the upper one fourth of the Junior Class or the upper one third of the Senior Class and being of good character may be considered eligible for invitation to this honorary society. When the time is appropriate, the eligible student may be invited to join. Dr. Samuel Agbo is the advisor.

Cardinal Key National Honor Society Recognition of achievement in scholarship and extracurricular activities is the primary objective of the Cardinal Key National Honor Society. Entrance requirements are a minimum of 3.2 cumulative grade point average, junior standing, personality, character and prominence in extracurricular activities.

Mortar Board Honorary Society Qualification for active membership is based on service, scholarship, leadership, commitment to promote the goals and purpose of Mortar Board, a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.4 and current enrollment at Cal Poly.

Graduation Honors Candidates for bachelor’s degrees with a Cal Poly cumulative grade point average calculated at the time the degree requirements are completed have graduated “with honors” based on the following GPA averages: Summa cum laude - 3.85 Magna cum laude - 3.70 Cum laude - 3.50

DEPARTMENT SHOP The department maintains a shop that can be used for school-related work by students. In particular, it is frequently used for making parts, fixtures, etc., for Senior Projects. Students desiring to use the shop may do so after obtaining permission from technical personnel. Frequently, the shop will be open, and if a student needs to drill a hole or do other limited fabrication work, she/he may do so providing the safety rules and procedures posted in the shop, Room 20-107, are followed.

- 22 -

FINANCIAL AID Cal Poly’s Financial Aid Department has several services for students who must finance a part of their education costs. Further information about the services is available at the Financial Aid Office and Career Services.

Jobs Career Services, located in the Student Services building across from the football stadium, maintains a list of various full-time and part-time job opportunities on and off campus. Students may also contact instructors or the department staff individually for temporary jobs such as grading papers or working in the shop.

Scholarships and Awards Each year students with good grade point averages receive scholarships in amounts ranging from $500 to $2,000 and up. If you are interested in scholarships or awards, see the Advising Center or visit the Financial Aid Office. The department scholarship application deadline is in March, and applications are filed in the Financial Aid Office. The awards are presented at the EE/IEEE Awards Banquet in May.

Loans Low-interest, long-term loans are available to students in good academic standing demonstrating financial need. There are also short-term loans available. Interested students should contact the Financial Aid Office located in the Administration Building.

R.O.T.C. Income Students interested in serving as military officers may be eligible to receive monthly payments as a participant in the Advanced Reserve Officer Training Corps (R.O.T.C.) while completing their education. Consult the R.O.T.C. Headquarters if interested in the possibilities offered. Industrial Co-op The Electrical Engineering Department enthusiastically endorses student participation in the Cal Poly Co-op Program. Co-op information and summer employment opportunities may be found at www.careerservices.calpoly.edu. The Co-op Program generally involves working in industry for a six-month period, then returning to school. It is an excellent way to gain practical engineering experience and earn money. The opportunity for employment after graduation is excellent. The Co-op Program is an excellent supplement to Cal Poly’s educational program and would only extend the overall college program by one or two quarters. Co-op work cannot start before the end of the Freshman year. Participation between the lower and upper division schedule presents the least impact upon the time of graduation.

Summer Employment Career Services at Cal Poly maintains a program for locating summer jobs for students. In addition, help can be obtained for summer jobs in the specific area of electric power (utility work) through the Electric Power Institute. The administrator for the Electric Power Institute maintains contacts with some of the West Coast utilities and frequently has information on summer jobs in these areas. Jobs are obtained by students directly contacting companies with which they would

- 23 -

like to work. Addresses of such companies and the names of personnel managers at these companies can usually be obtained from Career Services.

LABORATORY SAFETY RULES Forms containing the following lab safety rules are included in all EE Department laboratory manuals. To ensure that students understand and agree to follow these rules, they are required to review and sign these forms once during their time here at Cal Poly. The signed forms are kept in the students’ files. 1. No horseplay or running will be tolerated in the laboratories. 2. Bare feet or open sandals are not permitted while working in the laboratory or shop. 3. Do not energize equipment without first noting that no one is in a position to be injured by your

actions. 4. When working on projects where more than 120 volts exist between circuit points and/or

ground, the student must get approval from the laboratory instructor before energizing the circuit.

5. Before applying power or connecting unfamiliar equipment or instruments into any circuits,

read appropriate equipment instruction manual sections or consult with the instructor.

6. Equipment must be positioned on benches in a safe and stable manner. 7. Do not make circuit connections by hand while the circuits are energized. This is especially

dangerous with high current/voltage circuits. 8. When any student is working in a laboratory with equipment energized, there must be at least

one other person in the laboratory.

9. The use of 110 volt, 60 Hz plug-in cords with open wire or alligator clip ends is hazardous and may only be done with permission and direction of the instructor
