Electrical Engineering (123 Credits)
Students may certify in the Electrical Engineering degree program in either the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Bremerton, Everett, and Pullman), or in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (Tri-Cities). Certification requirements are the same on all campuses, but the application process may vary. Students should consult with an advisor at their campus of residence regarding procedure details, including timing, to apply for certification.
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.
Certification Guarantee: Certification Guarantee: Students who complete the required certification courses with an average GPA of at least 3.2, who have an overall GPA of at least 3.2 in the completed courses required in the major, and who have not repeated any required courses, are guaranteed certification.
No courses listed in this schedule of study may be taken on a pass/fail basis. With the exception of E E 488, E E 499, and ENGR 489, 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. Students should also consult with an advisor regarding allowed course substitutions to the schedule of studies listed below.
