Electrical Engineering

Students are admitted to the Electrical Engineering major upon demonstrating they are calculus-ready and making their intention known to the department. Calculus-ready is defined as having an ALEKS math placement score of 83% or higher; or completion of MATH 108, and 171 or a higher calculus course with a grade of C or better; or completing the Math AP with a score of 2 (places the student in MATH 171), or 3 (credit is given for MATH 171).

To remain in good standing students must complete CPT S 121 or 131, MATH 171, 172, 220, 273, and PHYSICS 201, each with a grade of C or better, and earn a cumulative WSU GPA of 2.5 or higher upon completion of the above courses.

Alternate Pathway:
Completion of ALL standard pathway benchmarks and additionally: ENGLISH 101, CHEM 105, PHYSICS 202, E E 261, 262, MATH 315, all with a grade of C or better, and a 2.5 cumulative WSU GPA (or transfer GPA if no WSU GPA exists). Everett and Bremerton applicants follow the alternate pathway.

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.
