The following requirements must be fulfilled:
131 credits as outlined below.
A minimum technical GPA of 2.20 and SEAS GPA of 2.00. A student’s technical GPA is calculated using all technical engineering courses outlined in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth semester of curriculum.

1Course satisfies the University General Education Requirement in math, science, and writing.
2All electrical and computer engineering students take five courses to satisfy the ECE humanities, social science, or non-technical elective requirement. Three of these courses—one in humanities and two in social sciences—must be on the University General Education Requirement list; one course must be PHIL 2135 (or NSC 4176 for students in the NROTC Program); and one course can be in the humanities/social sciences, or a non-technical course related to public health, safety, and welfare; global cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors; or innovation, entrepreneurship, and creativity. For the last category, students can consider taking DNSC 1051, DNSC 4404, EMSE 4410, ISTM 4223 MGT 3300, MGT 3301, MGT 3302, MGT 3303, or MGT 4003. The non-technical course cannot focus on scientific/mathematical approaches or technology. All courses selected to satisfy this requirement must be taken for a minimum of 3 credits and approved by the advisor.
3Two 3-credit technical elective courses must be selected with the approval of the advisor from upper-division undergraduate (2000 to 4000 level) or graduate courses in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physical sciences, or biological sciences. Exceptions must be approved by the advisor.
