Engineering Faculty Document No. 41-06

To: The Faculty of the College of Engineering
From:
The Faculty of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Subject:
Change in Minimum Degree Requirements for Electrical and Computer Engineering
The Faculty of the School of Electrical
and Engineering has approved the following changes in the minimum degree
requirements for the B.S. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. This action is now submitted to the
Engineering Faculty with a recommendation for approval.
These
changes are in response to changes in the First-Year Engineering Program
effective for students entering Purdue in the Fall Semester 2006.
Revised Plans of Study
for the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering (the first POS) and for the B.S.
degree in Computer Engineering (BSCmpE) option are attached.
The implementation of the first-year
program into our curriculum is summarized:
(1) The
removal of CHM 116 as part of the first year course requirements, with the
addition of a Science Selective (4 credit hours) added to both the BSEE
and BSCmpE Plans of Study during the second semester of the first year to
provide students with alternatives to CHM 116. Students will now have the
option of choosing one of the following: BIOL 110, BIOL 111, CHM 116, PHYS 310,
PHYS 322, or PHYS 342.
(2) CS
156 or CS 158 is replaced with CS 159.
(3) PHYS
152 becomes 172. PHYS 152 and PHYS 172
are official university equivalents per the Office of the Registrar and are
therefore interchangeable in all cases – anywhere PHYS 172 is listed as a
requirement, either course will be
accepted. Only PHYS 172 will be
officially listed as it is the new requirement.
(4) PHYS
261 is replaced with PHYS 272. PHYS 261
and PHYS 272 are official university equivalents per the Office of the
Registrar and are therefore interchangeable in all cases – anywhere PHYS 272 is listed as a
requirement, either course will be accepted.
Only PHYS 272 will be officially listed as it is the new requirement.
