Technical Electives


General Emphasis


Senior-year technical electives consist of 21 units. Three units must be an upper division courses in biology, business, mathematics, chemistry or physics. The remaining eighteen units must be electrical engineering units chosen from courses in the six areas listed below. Students must have at least one course in the five areas of electronics, communications, control, fields, and power. Courses in each elective area are:

The remaining technical elective units may include:


 At most, three units of internship may apply here.

Renewable Energy Emphasis


This emphasis, administered by the EBME Department, leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering. The program is designed for the student seeking a degree in electrical engineering with an emphasis on renewable energy. The required courses are identical to those for a regular BS in EE degree. The senior year technical electives consist of 21 units.

Biomedical Engineering Emphasis


This emphasis, administered by the EBME Department, leads to a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering. The program is designed for the student seeking a degree in electrical engineering with an emphasis in biomedical engineering. Except for EE 340 , the required courses are identical to those for a regular BS in EE degree. Additional required introductory courses are BIOL 190 , BIOL 191  and CHEM 220A  .

The senior year technical electives consist of 15 units.
