Electrical Engineering Block Option

Electrical engineering is the discipline responsible for the design and development of all electrical and electronics products including radio and television transmitters and receivers, computers, telephone networks and switching systems, and electric power and distribution systems. It also includes the design of semiconductor integrated circuits (chips), instrumentation systems such as hospital patient monitoring systems, and automated control systems for mechanical devices such as automobile engines.

The ERB faculty advisor recommends that ERB majors with an EE block option take the following set of courses. Students may also create their own course sets based on those listed on the degree plan; however, this course set have been designed to have the fewest number of prerequisites and the best grouping of applicable coursework.
