The Advanced Technical Elective

ECE students must complete 1 additional upper division ECE elective course (in addition to their technical component/core noted above) that can come from any technical area in our department. This course may be a part of the student's chosen track if they so choose.  Students must ensure they meet prerequisite requirements to enroll in this course. 

ECE 316, Digital Logic Design may be used towards this requirement if the course is not a part of the student's declared technical core requirements. 

Students may use 2 semesters of the ECE Co-op course and 1 semester of ECE 125S Internship Course to substitute for this requirement.

Students may use a 3 hour or 4 hour X60 Research course towards this requirement if approved by department faculty advisor during the X60 approval process.
