Electrical Engineering

Students may certify in the Electrical Engineering degree program either in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, on the Pullman campus, or in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, on the Tri-Cities campus. The certification criteria are identical and independently applied by the two schools. Students should consult with their advisor at their campus of residence for approved alternative course sequences and choices as well as allowed substitutions vis-à-vis the schedule of studies listed below. Please see the following specific policies for each school.

School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Pullman

Students may apply for certification into the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree program after completion of the following courses with a grade of C or better and a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher: CPT S 121 or 131; E E 214; MATH 171, 172, 220, 273; PHYSICS 201.

No courses listed in this schedule of study may be taken on a pass/fail basis. All listed E E and CPT S courses, required electives, and prerequisites to these courses must be completed with a grade of C or better.

School of Engineering & Applied Sciences, Tri-Cities

1. The School Engineering and Applied Sciences will establish the total number of students to be certified into the Electrical Engineering degree program on the Tri-Cities campus.
2. Students may normally apply for certification into the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering degree program after completion of the following courses with a grade of C or better and a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher: CPT S 121 or 131; E E 214; MATH 171, 172, 220, 273; PHYSICS 201. No courses listed in this schedule of study may be taken on a pass/fail basis. All listed E E and CPT S courses, required electives, and prerequisites to these courses must be completed with a grade of C or better.
3. Students should consult with their advisor about their readiness for certification and then apply for certification as early as possible in their studies after completion of the needed certification courses.
4. Certification applications are accepted on a rolling basis online, under the Certification tab at
https://tricities.wsu.edu/engineering/seas-advising-gateway/ for the Electrical Engineering degree program and normally processed within two weeks of the date of submittal.
5. Any further questions should be addressed through scheduling an individual meeting with your advisor at https://tricities.wsu.edu/engineering/undergraduate/advising-form.
