6.2.2 Minor in Computer Engineering

A student in an Engineering degree program at the University, except Computer Engineering, may apply to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering for admission to the Minor in Computer Engineering (Software). The Minor is focused on Computer Engineering aspects such as programming, software design, and related applications. Before applying for the Minor, a student must complete the necessary prerequisites to register for ECE 3400 and ECE 4110 (or Mathematics 2320).

The Minor in Computer Engineering (Software) will consist of 24 credit hours, as follows:

ECE 3400, ECE 4110 (or Mathematics 2320), ECE 4400, ECE 5010, ECE 5400, ECE 6400, and
6 credit hours chosen from: ECE 7400, ECE 7410, ECE 7420, ECE 8410, ECE 8420, or other courses subject to approval by the Head of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
