ECE Electives (BS EE)

Students may select courses totaling 6 credit hours from non-required ECE upper division (3xxx or higher) courses. (ECE policy is to not permit undergraduates to enroll in graduate (5xxx or 6xxx) courses unless they have a GPA of 3.0 or better). Student selections of ECE and Professional Electives must satisfy a minimum design credit requirement of 1.5 hours. A worksheet available in the ECE office list the design credit portions of regularly offered electives. Three hours of Co-op credit (3 satisfactory ECE 2281 completions) can also be used in lieu of one ECE elective.

Professional Electives

Students may select courses totaling 3 credits from the following (provided prerequisite requirements are met):

  1. All non-required ECE courses numbered 3xxx or higher (see EE Elective paragraph for graduate course restriction).
  2. ENGR 3223, 4223, 5723.
  3. Students may select Math 4163, 3333, 4103, 4323, 4373, or 4733, provided prerequisite requirements are satisfied. In special circumstances other courses may be suitable, if approved by a student's adviser. (Math 4753 is not allowed because of significant overlap with ENGR 3293).
  4. Physics 3803.
  5. Engl 3153, Mgt 3013.MIS courses are not allowed because they typically include a significant amount of introductory-level computer material.
  6. Upper division courses in other engineering areas or in Computer Science are generally acceptable with adviser approval, provided prerequisites are met.

General Education Electives

Each of the 4 general education electives must be selected from specific lists of suitable courses available on the web at www.ou.edu/admrec/gened.htm. One of these four courses must be upper division. Gen Ed questions should be addressed to staff advisors in the Williams Student Service Center.
