ECE Advising
Your success as an electrical engineering or computer engineering student starts with a plan. Our team of academic advisors is dedicated to providing high-quality service to each student. Advisors are knowledgeable about navigating the path to graduation and can provide resources for academic and personal success. We can help with registration and basic questions.
Electrical and Computer Engineering Programs
As you go through our programs, we strongly advise you to meet with an advisor regularly and plan the courses you will take. You can find sample graduation plans based on the 2024-2025 program requirements below.
Applying to the Professional Program
The Professional Program refers to the major-specific courses in the junior and senior years in the EE and CE programs. Students must be accepted into the Professional Program before taking these courses. After completing the Pre-Professional Program, students must apply for admittance to the Professional Program. A minimum GPA of 2.8 in the Pre-Professional Required Courses listed above is required for application to the Professional Program.

Applications to the Professional Program
Please download, print, and complete the application form.
If you have completed the required courses, please submit the completed form to Dr. Eric Gibbons or Judy Smith.
You may apply to the Professional Program before completing all the required courses in the Pre-Professional Program. This preliminary acceptance is contingent on completing the required courses with a C grade or better. A preliminary acceptance to the Professional Program will allow you to enroll in upper-division courses. If you have not completed a course in the pre-professional program, list the grade as a C when filling out the application and include that placeholder grade when computing your GPA. A GPA of 2.8 is still required for acceptance to the professional program. If your GPA falls below 2.8 with these placeholder C grades, wait until you have the final grades after taking the courses before you apply.
If you are a transfer student, please contact the program coordinator or advisors for instructions on how to complete the application.
Exceptions
- Students may enroll in ECE 3610 or ECE 3710 without status in the Professional Program, provided they satisfy the individual course prerequisites.
