The Electrical
Engineering (Power and Machines) Program offers two options for its bachelor’s
degree program, namely, regular and cooperative (coop) students. Both
options require the PME student 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 field of electric power
engineering, 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 PME program
is five years (10 semesters).
The distribution of
155 credit hours is as follows:
