5. Generic Sophomore Year
Students who have not decided upon a major can take the following courses in their sophomore year and declare their majors at the end of the sophomore year. This “generic” sophomore year will allow them to declare CE, CS or EE and still graduate in 4 years without overloads, summer school, etc. Although this is not the recommended (best) sophomore year for any one major, it provides the student with more flexibility in delaying their choice of major until they have a better idea of what they want to do. In addition, the courses that they take in the sophomore year will give them technical exposure to each of the different majors.

b Selected students may be invited to take PHYS 123, 124 in place of PHYS 121 and PHYS 122.
c Students may replace this class with STAT 333 Uncertainty in Engineering and Science if approved by their advisor.
d Technical electives will be chosen to fulfill the depth requirement and otherwise increase the student's understanding of electrical engineering. Courses used to satisfy the depth requirement must come from the department's list of depth areas and related courses. Technical electives not used to satisfy the depth requirement are more generally defined as any course related to the principles and practice of electrical engineering. This includes all EECS courses at the 200 level and above and can include courses from other programs. All non-EECS technical electives must be approved by the student's advisor.
e This course must utilize statistics in electrical engineering applications and is typically EECS 351 Communications & Signal Analysis, EECS 354 Digital Communications or EECS 355 RF Communications. Other courses possible with approval of advisor.
f CO-OP students may obtain design credit for one semester of Senior Project Lab if their CO-OP assignment included significant design responsibility; however, the student is still responsible for such course obligations as reports, presentations and ethics assignments. Design credit and fulfillment of remaining course responsibilities are arranged through the senior project instructor.
g BS/MS students may also utilize EECS 651 M.S. Thesis to fulfill eight credits of senior project provided their thesis has adequate design content to meet the requirements of EECS 398L/399L. BS/MS students should see their thesis advisor for details.

Although not required, students may elect to take ENGR 101, Freshman Engineering Service Project as their open elective during the freshman year.
Selected students may be invited to take PHYS 124 and 125 in place of PHYS 121 and 122.
Choose from STAT 312, STAT 332, STAT 333.
CO-OP students may obtain credit for the first semester of Senior Project Lab if their CO-OP assignment includes significant design responsibility. This credit can be obtained by submitting a suitable written report and making an oral presentation on the CO-OP work, in coordination with the Senior Project instructor.
Signal Processing or Communication Systems technical elective. To be taken in any semester after EECS 246. Choose from EECS 313, EECS 351, or EECS 354.
Three of the six technical electives must be taken from one of the technical elective areas listed previously. The remaining three should be chosen from any of the remaining technical elective areas.
Students declare technical electives in the Fall of their Junior year. Each technical elective area has a faculty advisor to guide the student. This faculty advisor also acts as co-op advisor for the student.
