Description
The EECS Minor, offered through the College of Engineering, is an optional program that encourages coherence in the work students undertake outside their major. It is intended for students who have an interest in electrical engineering and computer engineering. Students interested in computer science should consider the
Computer
Science Minor
offered by the College of Letters and Science.
Course Requirements
The course requirements for the EECS minor are:
- EECS 20N
- EECS 40 or (Physics 7B and EECS 42) or EECS100
- CS 61A or E 77N
- CS 61B or CS 61C
- Any three upper division courses in EECS, for a minimum 9 units.
These courses must be taken for a letter grade; none may be taken Passed/Not Passed.
- EECS 42 and EECS 100 may be substituted for EECS 40, but will not fulfill the prerequisite requirements of upper division courses that call for EECS 40. EECS 100 may not serve as one of the upper division courses.
- E 77N may be substituted for CS 61A, but will not fulfill the prerequisite requirements of the upper division courses that call for CS 61A.
- Only one overlapping upper division course will be allowed between the student's declared major and the EECS minor. Please note the following EXCEPTION: College of Letters and Science Computer Science majors may NOT count upper division computer science courses toward the minor.
