Abstract: The following link redirects you to the engineering undergraduate advising website. More specifically, the link redirects you to a list of all the current engineering flow charts. The electrical engineering flow chart shows how a student can progress through the course curriculum. The flow chart is organized by semesters, progressing from left to right. It was assembled under the assumption that the future EE student has no college credits at the start of the first semester. This flow chart will be used not only to guide you through the major but also to help advising faculty to measure your progress relative to your year. This PDF is the standard metric and progression through the major.
Tips:
Any course with a "*" next to its title means you must earn a C or better to receive credit.
Notice how many of the courses require prerequisites. This means a student must complete certain classes before progressing to other higher-level classes. For example, the arrow leading from CMPSC 131 to CMPSC 132 means you must complete 131 before taking 132.
Most people would suggest not taking three or four credit classes in one semester. This can create avoidable stress and increase burnout.
Build a schedule that allows you to take the four EE courses (EE 330, EE 340, EE 350, EE 310) in two semesters.
Download it to start annotating your path, and make it easy for advisers to interpret your annotations.
Become more familiar with the site as a whole, and this will help you realize how many resources there are to help you.
Abstract: This link will redirect you to the EECS department webpage, specifically the EE page. The page provides a suggested academic plan to complete your degree. Furthermore, the undergraduate handbook hyperlink is available on the top right of this page. The academic plan does not need to be followed rigorously but should be referenced to examine your current standing and future progress. This is a great resource to use while annotating your flow chart to ensure progress stays on track. The EE handbook is a dense PDF explaining each EE-related elective and required course. While using the handbook, students learn more about what classes they are interested in, as well as possible concentrations and minors.
Tips:
Most students advise against taking MATH 140, CHEM 110, and PHYS 211 in the same semester. Instead, they should take MATH 140 paired with one of the two broad science courses.
Do not get overwhelmed by the amount of information in the handbook. Use the text density as an advantage for learning more about EE subfields and concentrations. For example, if you might be interested in power electronics, read the related electives under power electronics to gain more information.
