3. Outline Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Our program and academics

4. Electrical and Electronic Engineering
We offer a B.S. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Most courses are categorized as belonging to one of four areas
A strong core of courses representing all areas is taken by all students
Electives are offered in each area

5. “Electrical” circuit elements
Power Systems
“Electrical” circuit elements

6. Analog/Digital Electronics
Control of current flow (electrons)

7. Control of moving objects
Control Systems
Control of moving objects

8. Communications
Flow of information

9. Primary Colors
Different combinations
make all colors

10. Primary Colors

11. The Future
Knowledge of different areas will prepare you to learn new technologies

12. 4-Year Curriculum Pattern
The following recommended pattern satisfies the catalog requirements and will allow you to graduate in 4 years:
forms/EEE Curriculum F17.pdf

13. Advising You will have a faculty advisor
We will advise today
Reliable sources of information: Catalog, Advisor
Check saclink and “My Sac State” before census date September 24, 2018
Do not plan to drop classes after census date
General Education advising at Lassen Hall

14. General Education (GE)
Given:
Courses for the major are highly sequential
General Education (GE) courses are important but are not sequential
Therefore:
Identify courses needed for the major and assign highest priority to completing them in sequence
Then fill up your schedule with GE

15. Academic Advice
Where:
t represents time
t represents the time constant
It seems that all we need to know are the values of t and t
What is v(t) when 5 time constants have elapsed since t=0?
What does t/t mean?

16. Pre-Requisites: Definitions
A course “pre-requisite” must be completed prior to beginning that course
A “prerequisite that may be taken concurrently” may be taken along with the course or previously.
A “corequisite” must be taken along with the course .

17. Lower- Division Courses
Numbered from 1-99

18. Chemistry 1E
Engineering majors on this campus cannot take Chem 1A here, but may transfer Chem 1A
A pre-test is required to enroll in Chem 1E
Chem website -> Stud. Resources -> Chem 1A Diag.
For next exam date, “Check back August 15, 2017”
Exam not given after the semester starts
Strategy
Take Chem 1E as soon as possible
Chem 1A is available summer at Community Colleges

19. Math Series Calculus I, II, III, and Diff. Eq. (Math 30, 31, 32, 45)
A pre-test is required for Math 30
Math website->Courses->Diagnostic Exams
“CR” or “Aleks”
Strategy
Do not delay progress through this series for any reason
May take Math 45 after Math 31 (if needed for ENGR 17)
Math 32 is a pre-requisite for EEE161 -> EEE130
Math courses are available at community colleges

20. Physics Series Physics 11A and 11C required Strategy
Physics 11A requires concurrent enrollment in Math 31
Physics 11C requires Math 31 and PHYS 11A complete
Strategy
Do not delay progress through this series for any reason
PHYS 11C is a pre-req. for ENGR 17; may be taken concurrent with ENGR 17 if Math 45 completed
Recommend completion of PHYS 11C before ENGR 17

21. ENGR 1, ENGR 50, EEE64
Can accept transfer of an accredited “Introduction to Engineering” course in place of ENGR 1.
Can accept transfer of C programming course (e.g., CISP 360) in place of ENGR 50.
EEE/CPE 64 (a logic design class)
ENGR 50 is a pre-requisite to EEE/CPE 64
Some programming courses satisfy pre-requisite for EEE/CPE 64, but do not satisfy ENGR 50 requirement
EEE/CPE 64 is a pre-requisite to EEE174
Strategy: Complete courses and/or substitutions

22. ENGR 17 – Circuit Analysis
Semesters
If you have not completed ENGR17, there may be no other courses you can take towards completion of the major!!
ENGR 17 has pre-requisites of PHYS11C and Math 45, one of which may be taken concurrently, but not both. It is recommended that PHYS11C be completed before ENGR 17.

23. Summary: Lower-division
Determine the appropriate academic load (units/sem) and ensure that all classes taken count towards degree
Sequence classes to meet pre-requisites and keep semester unit loads at the desired level
Sequence classes to meet major requirements and move directly through math/physics sequence to E17.
Summer school can be a great help to catch up with lower-division pre-requisite classes.

24. Upper-Division Courses
Numbered from

25. Upper Division: Choices
Upper-division choices require advance planning
Important Decision: Senior project sequence
Electric Power Engineering (192A/B) and prerequisites
Electronics (Product Design 193A/B) and prerequisites
Electives
10 or 13 units of electives
Must take 7 units from one area of interest
We offer one degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and the above choices are not noted on the transcript

26. Senior Project Series
Electronics/controls/communications Called “product design”
Take EEE109, EEE193A, EEE193B (8 units total)
Take 13 units of electives
Electric power series
Take EEE 141, EEE142, EEE 143, EEE192A, EEE 192B (11 units)
Take 10 units of electives

27. Critical Paths

28. First Semester Junior Year
EEE 117, EEE117L Network Analysis (Circuits II)
Concurrent pre-requisite to EEE 180, EEE 161
Pre-requisite to most of next semester
EEE 180 Signals and Systems
Concurrent pre-requisite to ENGR 120
Pre-requisite to EEE 184, EEE 185
EEE161
Pre-requisite to EEE130 and EEE141
ENGR 140 – Not a pre-requisite to anything
EEE/CPE 64 (if not already taken)
Prerequisite to EEE 174

29. Smart Planner
On “My Sac State”
Very New
Requires your input

30. Smart Planner will Create a Plan
But the plan requires your edits to make it right!!

31. Example Student has taken Math 31 and Phys 11A Phys 11C should be here
