Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering

Degree Requirements

The minimum number of credits required for the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (B.S.E.E.) degree is 123 credits. All courses that count toward the degree must be completed with grades of "C" or better. The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree will be awarded to students who meet all admission and degree requirements of the department and the University. Notes below are referenced in the tables following the list.

Notes:

  1. Students entering FAU with less than 30 credits must satisfy the course requirements specified in the catalog section, Degree Requirements. Students entering FAU with more than 30 credits (transfer students) must see the undergraduate advisor for an evaluation of courses taken at another school. The general education requirements are normally satisfied if a student has an Associate in Arts (A.A.) degree from a Florida community or state college. Once students earn beyond 30 credits, they must substitute EGN 1002, Fundamentals of Engineering, with an electrical engineering elective.
  2. For those students who are also pursuing a math minor, STA 4032, Probability and Statistics for Engineers, can be substituted for EEE 4541, Stochastic Processes and Random Signals.

Degree Requirements for a Second BS in Electrical Engineering 

  1. Earn a minimum of 30 credits in residence at FAU, at the 3000 level or higher, beyond those required for the first degree. Students earning two degrees simultaneously (a dual degree) must earn at least 150 credits.
  2. Earn at least 75 percent of all upper-division credits required for the major from FAU.
  3. Students must have completed 15 credits in mathematics, 9 credits in science and 51 credits in core courses listed in the Electrical Engineering degree program. Each course must be completed with a minimum grade of "C."
