Graduation Requirements for Computer Program
|
|
The
name of the degree awarded by the program is “Bachelor of Science in Electrical
Engineering (Computer)”.
The Computer Engineering (CoE) Program offers two options for its
Bachelor's degree program, namely, regular and cooperative (coop) students.
Both options require the CoE students to successfully complete not less than
155 credit hours with a cumulative GPA of 2.75 out of 5 or better to qualify
for attainment of the Bachelor's degree. Regular option students are required
to complete one summer training of 10 weeks in the industrial or clinical
field, under the supervision of a faculty member. Cooperative program
students undertake coop work for 26 weeks in lieu of the summer training and
6 credit units of departmental electives. Students whose GPA is lower than
2.75 but have otherwise fulfilled all other graduation requirements must
retake enough of the technical courses in which their grade is lower than C
to bring their GPA up to the 2.75 minimum. The typical study
period of the CoE program is five years (10 semesters).
The distribution of 155 credit hours is as follows:
