ThishandbookdescribesthedetailsoftheundergraduateprogramofferedbytheDepartmentofElectricaland Computer Engineering. Each student is responsible for every aspect of completing his/her degreerequirements. All relevant information is contained in the attachments. Be sure to thoroughly read thishandbook,payingattentiontoallthedegreerequirements.Beforeregisteringforanycourse,astudentmusthavemetthenecessaryprerequisites.Also,priorapprovalisrequiredforanycoursesastudentwishestotakeatanotherinstitutionifthosecoursesareintendedtofulfilldegreerequirements.PleasenotethatadditionaladvisingmaterialisavailableatSOEDean'swebsitehttp://soe.rutgers.edu/oaa.

The undergraduate program consists of two specific options: (1) Electrical Engineering option and (2)Computer Engineering option. Both options lead to the same B.S. Degree in Electrical and ComputerEngineering(ECE).Detailsofthetwocurriculaareprovidedshortly.Itshouldbenotedthatthefreshmanandsophomoreyearsarecommontobothoptions.Ineitheroptionastudenttakesseveralelectivecoursesin addition to the required courses. The four categories of elective courses are (1) Technically orientedelectives,(2)ScienceMathandEngineeringelective,(3)Humanities/SocialScienceelectivesand(4)Generalelective.

Minors, majors, and dual degrees provide students with the opportunity to broaden skill setsoutside of engineering. Often times you can choose your courses so that they can be ‘double-counted’–meaningthatthecourseswillcounttowardsyourminor(ormajor,ordualdegree),andcounttowardsengineering.Manyofthetechnicalminors(math,computerscience,lifesciences,etc.)canoftencountforboththeminorandaspartofthetechnicalelectivesfortheengineeringmajor.Manyof thehumanities/social scienceminors (history,psychology, language,economics,etc.)cancountfortheminorandasthehumanitiesrequirements.

4.7 WithdrawingfromCourses:

Unfortunately, some students encountermajor problems during their college career. Seek helpbefore you are dismissed from the School of Engineering. If you find that you are unable tocomplete the requiredwork, speak to an advisor, theUndergraduateDirector, or theAssociateDean.MakeuseofthemanyresourcesavailabletoyouatRutgers.Pleasetakeresponsibilityforyoursituationbyseekinghelpifyouneedit.

Here is the rule: If you fail a course, it is computed intoyouruniversityandmajorgradepointaverages-awithdrawalisnot.

After the fall and spring semesters (not after summer), the Committee on Student ScholasticStanding, composed of elected faculty and representatives of the deans in the School ofEngineering, reviewsandmay takeactionon the recordofevery studentwhose semesterGPA,cumulativeGPA,ormajorGPAis2.0orlower.Studentswhowereplacedonprobationattheendof theprevious termalsoare reviewed.These studentsmaybeplacedonprobationormaybedismissed from theSchoolof Engineering.
