Notes
on Scheduling:
(Note for Undergraduate
Microwave I students) Please note that students wishing to take both ECE 3110, Engineer Electronics II, and ECE 5320,
Microwave Engineering I, to fulfill breadth or elective courses for their
undergraduate electrical engineering degrees must take these courses in the
fall semesters of different years, as they are taught on the same meeting
pattern in fall semesters. This schedule is necessary in order to maximize the
limited space available in the microwave laboratory, which is used by both ECE
3300 and ECE 5320 in fall semesters, and also to avoid scheduling ECE 5320 on
top of other upper-division classes.
(Note for Undergrad Wireless Comm or Numerical Methods students) ECE 3530 (which is
required for undergrads) is taught the same
time as these courses. This means most students will be able to take either
Wireless or Numerical, but not both. They are taught alternate years. Choose
which you want to take, see which year (even/odd) it is taught, and take
ECE3530 on the OTHER year.

Extra
time in your schedule? Consider the BS/MS combined program… a Masters degree is
closer than you might guess.

Master’s Program
This program is very flexible. Add your desired
classes to the MS
spreadsheet (may also be used for ME). I Suggest choosing 1 area of specialty
with supporting classes and subspecialty mostly from ECE. Discuss with your
major advisor or one of the professors listed above. More Details on the UU MS / ME /
BSMS / BSME programs. For Dr Furses Advising Notes Grad

PhD Program
This program is very flexible. Add your desired
classes to the PhD
spreadsheet. I suggest choosing 1 area
of specialty, 1 area of subspecialty, and taking several courses outside the
department to compliment these specialties. Discuss with your major advisor. More
