Electrical EngineeringThe undergraduate electrical engineering degree program seeks to pro-duce graduates who are trained in the theory and practice of electrical andcomputer engineering and are well prepared to handle the professional andleadership challenges of their careers. The program allows students tospecialize in high performance and embedded computing, microelectronicsand nanotechnology, power and energy, signal processing and communi-cations, high frequency circuits and fields, and control systems, amongothers.

Degree RequirementsThe following curriculum meets the requirements for a B.S. in ElectricalEngineering, provided the student satisfies UK Core requirements andgraduation requirements of the College of Engineering.

*Supportive elective is to be chosen from any University courses, excludingmore elementary versions of required courses, such as precalculus mathemat-ics or PHY 211.[M] Math/Statistics Elective: Any upper-division (300-level or higher) mathor statistics course (3 credit hours total).[E] Engineering/Science Electives: Any engineering, physics, computerscience, or math course at the 200-level or higher, other than an electricalengineering course and excluding more elementary versions of requiredcourses (6 credit hours total). Cooperative education credit may not be usedto satisfy this requirement.[T] Technical elective may be selected from upper-division (300-level orhigher) engineering, mathematics, statistics, computer science, physics, orother technically-related fields and excluding more elementary versions ofrequired courses, to be selected in consultation with the academic advisor(3 credit hours total). Cooperative education credit may not be used to satisfythis requirement.[L] Electrical Engineering Laboratory Elective: EE 281, EE 462G, EE 422G,EE 416G (6 credit hours total).EE 101 is transitioning to a 3-hour course that will satisfy the UK Core I. Intellectual Inquiry in Arts and Creativity requirement. The initial offering ofthe new format is under an EGR 199 course number titled: Tops in EGR:Creativity and Design in ECE.EE 490 is only taught in the fall semester. EE 491 is only taught in the springsemester. EE 490 satisfies the Graduation Writing Requirement.
