BS in Electrical Engineering

http://ese.wustl.edu/undergraduateprograms/Pages/bs-in-ee.aspx
The BS in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) degree program consists of a
breadth of knowledge in electrical engineering, a depth of knowledge in a
particular area, and preparation for life-long learning. Breadth of
knowledge is ensured through basic courses in the conceptual foundations
of electrical engineering, fundamental tools of modern practice, advanced
laboratories, and a significant design experience. Depth of knowledge is
made possible by a wide selection of upper-level electives that allow
students to focus in a particular area. Finally, students are prepared for
lifelong learning through courses in technical communication, laboratory,
and project team activities, courses in the humanities and social sciences,
and opportunities to participate in departmental research activities. The
B.S. in Electrical Engineering is accredited by the Engineering
Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.

Degree Requirements

To obtain the degree Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering,


students must complete a minimum of 120 units consistent with the
residency and other applicable requirements of Washington University and
the School of Engineering & Applied Science, and subject to the following
departmental requirements.
1. Common Studies program of the School of Engineering & Applied
Science. This includes courses in engineering, mathematics, chemistry,
humanities, social sciences, and technical writing. The required chemistry
sequence is Chem 111A-151, although Chem 111A-112A-151-152 is
recommended.
2. Computer Science requirement (effective Fall 2015): two of the
following three computer science courses: CSE 131 Computer Science I (3
units); CSE 132 Computer Science II (3 units); or CSE 241 Algorithms and
Data Structures (3 units).
3. Engineering & Science breadth requirements: 9 units in engineering or
science outside of electrical engineering. These units must be taken in the
following areas: Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil
Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering,
Systems Science & Engineering, Economics, Mathematics, Physics,
Biology, Chemistry, Earth & Planetary Sciences and Pre-medicine. These
units must be at the level 200 or higher and shall not be used to satisfy
the Common Studies requirements or the CS requirement. Courses in
other fields can be arranged with special departmental approval.
Examples of engineering and science courses are MEMS 253 Engineering
Mechanics I, MEMS 255 Engineering Mechanics II, MEMS 342 Heat
Transfer, ChE 262 Introduction to Environmental Engineering, ChE 320
Thermodynamics, ChE 351 Engineering Analysis of Chemical Systems,
CSE 200 Engineering and Scientific Computing, CSE 241 Algorithms and
Data Structures, Engr 324 From Concept to Market-the Business of
Biomedical Engineering, BME 240 Biomechanics, Physics 217 Introduction
to Quantum Physics I, Physics 318 Introduction to Quantum Physics II, CE
253, Bio 2960 Principles of Biology I, Biol 2970 Principles of Biology II,
Chem 251 Organic Chemistry I, Chem 252 Organic Chemistry II.
4. Required ESE courses: ESE 230, ESE 232, ESE 260, ESE 317 or both of
ESE 318 and ESE 319, ESE 326, ESE 330, ESE 351, and ESE 498. ESE 498
may be replaced by ESE 499 provided the project is in electrical
engineering.

5. Two upper-level laboratory courses (6 units) from the following list: ESE
331, ESE 435, ESE 447, ESE 448, ESE 465, ESE 488. At least one of these
two courses must be from ESE 331, ESE 435, ESE 465 and ESE 488
(beginning Fall 2014).
6. 15 units of elective ESE courses in electrical engineering subjects, from
the following list: ESE 330-399, ESE 400, 402, 405, 407, 425, 429-499, ESE
503-589.
7. Required course in ethics (starting in fall 2011):
Engineering 4501, Ethics and Sustainability
8. The entire course sequence for the BSEE containing engineering topics
of at least 45 units. The numbers of engineering topic units assigned to
undergraduate courses in the School of Engineering & Applied Science
vary from none (0) to the number of the credits given to the course. For
the precise number for each course, please look at the table of Topics
Units - Engineering Courses given by the Engineering Student Services.
9. Limitations. No more than 3 credits of ESE 400 (independent study)
and no more than 3 credits of 500-level courses may be applied toward
the BSEE degree.
10. Limitations. No more than 6 units of the combined units of ESE 400
(independent study) and ESE 497 (undergraduate research) may be
applied toward the EE elective requirement (Item 6) of the BSEE degree.
The balance of the combined units, it there are any left, are allowed as
free electives to satisfy the requirement on the total number of units.
11. The courses taken to satisfy the following BSEE degree requirements
must be taken for a letter grade and not on a pass/fail basis: Item 4
(required ESE courses), Item 5 (upper-level laboratory courses), and Item
6 (elective ESE courses.
Most students acquire more than the minimum number of 120 credit units.
