General requirements of the degree<\/strong>
The Engineering program consists of 120 total credit hours. The curricula include 39 credit hours of general education courses in English, arts and humanities, social and behavioral sciences, and emerging issues. An additional 12 credits in mathematics and physical sciences are required under the General Education program, which are included as a part of the requirements for the Engineering major. This makes the total credits for General Education to be 39 credit hours. The engineering curriculum also requires 19 credits of supportive math and physics courses. Students take 51 credit hours of core electrical engineering courses. Students choose 11 credit hours of specialization courses from one of the four different engineering specialization areas such as Electrical, Computer, Mechanical, and Aerospace. The program is on semester base.
