Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering Dual Major

BS degree

Students interested in pursing a challenging, but valuable program of study may complete a double major in Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering, meeting the obligations of both programs.

Students should follow the department’s structured advising plan. To complete the program in four years, at least one summer must be devoted to academic study. As with individual majors, a co-op experience is available for qualified students in cooperation with regional industries.

Calculation of the GPA in the Dual Computer and Electrical Engineering Major

To graduate, students must have a minimum 2.000 cumulative grade point average (GPA) for all courses taken at the university. Students must also have a minimum 2.000 cumulative GPA in the major. For purposes of this computation, each major GPA is calculated as follows:

Calculation of the GPA in the Computer Engineering Major:

1. All courses with an ECE prefix, except ECE 298, ECE 400, ECE 401, ECE 495 or ECE 595; and courses with a CIS prefix numbered 200 or above, except CIS 298, CIS 411, CIS 491, CIS 492, CIS 495 or CIS 595, count in calculating the GPA for the Computer Engineering major.
2. Courses required for the major but taken outside the major discipline are not counted in the calculation of the major cumulative GPA.
3. If a course is repeated, only the most recent course grade (whether higher or lower) shall be used to calculate the major cumulative GPA.

Calculation of the GPA in the Electrical Engineering Major:

1. All courses with an ECE prefix, except ECE 298, ECE 400, ECE 401, ECE 495 or ECE 595 count in calculating the GPA for the Electrical Engineering major.
2. Courses required for the major but taken outside the major discipline are not counted in the calculation of the major cumulative GPA.
3. If a course is repeated, only the most recent course grade (whether higher or lower) shall be used to calculate the major cumulative GPA.
