| ECE 3710 and ECE 3741 | Circuits & Electronics & Instrum & Electronic Lab | 3 |
- The remaining 6 credits must satisfy the following:
- Take at least 2 additional credits from Group 1
- All Special Topics courses (4801/4803/4823, etc.) MUST be approved by your advisor. No SEMINARS may be used
- YOU MUST MEET THE PRE-REQUISITE REQUIREMENTS FOR EACH COURSE
- Some departments may only allow you to register during Phase II.
- To satisfy Group 2 Engineering Elective credit, all Vertically-Integrated Projects (VIP) courses must be approved by the ISyE Associate Undergraduate Chair each semester, and at least three but no more than four credits of VIP coursework must be taken (typically, with the same project).
- For a list of projects already approved or denied, please see the "Group 2 VIP Courses" tab on the left
- Upon completion of at least 3 credit hours of VIP with the same project, please contact your assigned academic advisor to have the credits moved to Engineering Electives Group 2.
- It is very rare for any research (within ISyE or otherwise) to be approved as an Engineering Elective.
- PHYS 2021 (Solar System) will not be accepted for any Engineering Elective credit after Fall 2020.
