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

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
