This is a suggested schedule for students wishing to complete their degree in 4 years.  The number of units required in each semester can be reduced by moving some courses into summer school or by spreading the program out over a longer time period.  Students are encouraged to meet regularly with an advisor.

*ECE Electives must be selected from the list on the next page.  These electives may include ECE 370L and/or ECE 480L.  A 4-unit course indicates a lecture/lab course, while a 3 unit course is lecture only.  Students are always requested to take the lab for lecture/lab courses.  See “Instructions for Filing Senior Program”, available in the ECE Department Office.

**See “Engineering Major General Education Planning Form”.

*** Upper Division writing exam should be completed before the beginning of the Fall Semester in the Junior Year.
