This sequential coursework required for this major cannot be completed without a third year at NC State. Students should consult the departmental website and a transfer advisor prior to beginning the coursework outlined in this Transfer Guide.
The EE core courses provide a foundation for all EE students in electric circuits, digital logic, computer systems, programming, signals, linear systems, microelectronics, electromagnetics, teaming and communication, and the social and ethical dimensions of the practice of electrical and computer engineering.
EE offers a robust set of concentrations to guide students in their studies. All concentrations within EE share the core courses required by the major. Concentrations are offered in the following areas: Analog Circuits, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Biomedical Instrumentation, Communications and Signal Processing, Controls and Robotics, Digital Circuits, Electronic Devices, Music Technology, Optics and Photonics, Power Systems, and Radio Frequency Circuits.
Each EE concentration contains 24 hours of work. Students will take 12 hours from a prescribed list of courses that provide the necessary depth and background to pursue a career in the area. An additional 12 hours from a broader list of “open” electives are also required as part of the concentration, and these are meant to reinforce and add breadth to that area. There are many connections between areas and too many to explicitly list, and therefore, the open category gives students the freedom to choose courses that either broaden or deepen their expertise as they determine appropriate in consultation with their advisor. Furthermore, the open elective list intentionally allows students to take courses outside of ECE, such as other engineering, math, or science courses.
Remaining Courses to be Taken at NC State are based on CAA eligibility and completion of all required and suggested courses in this transfer guide. Remaining courses, hours and time to degree may vary for each student. Unless otherwise noted, all courses are required major courses and will not be part of the General Education fulfillment awarded by associate degree transfer and CAA eligibility.
Students may utilize the NC State Transfer Planner in conjunction with this Transfer Guide to see how their transfer coursework fulfills major requirements. Please note that the Transfer Planner does not reflect CAA eligibility or GEP fulfillment.
