Minor in Electrical Engineering (EE)
The Department offers a minor program in EE to provide an opportunity to any non-EE major student interested in gaining ability and training in the field of Electrical Engineering. Students interested in receiving a minor in Electrical Engineering require 10 units to 43 units depending upon the student's major field of study and the units available as free electives in the major that can be used by the EE minor program.
