Required Capstone1 required
Electives–choose 300- 400-level CHEM courses – contact the chemistry/biochemistry advisor. At least 15 credits must be 400-level, CHEM 140 & CHEM 140L may be counted here if pursuing a Forensic Science Minor, BIOL 310 may be counted here if pursuing a Biochemistry or Pre-Med Minor.15 required
Required Senior Capstone1 required
Electives: Students are required to complete five 400-level elective courses for a total of 25 credits. A minimum of four of those courses must be taken at EWU and have the EENG subject code (exceptions: EENG 495 and EENG 499 ). Students may replace one of the electives with either EENG 499 or one 400-level technical course from another program. Courses from outside Electrical & Computer Engineering require prior approval from the ECE curriculum committee. It is recommended students work with their advisor to select electives best matched to their desired career path, e.g., Power, Embedded Systems, Controls, or Machine Learning.15 required
