HKN Scheduling Workshop

• Agenda
• EE/CPE Requirements PowerPoint
• Class Difficulty Ratings
• Co-op Schedule Outline
• Open Discussion

2
EE/CpE Requirements

• Don Venable
• October 25, 2004
• Revised October 11, 2005

3
Two Majors in One

• Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering
  are part of the same major, with class
  differences, depending on the track chosen

4
Classes Both Tracks Need
5
What Both Groups Need

• General Science
• Physics
• PHYS251
• PHYS252
• Chemistry
• CHEM151

6
What Both Groups Need

• I dont know why
• CE220 - Statics

7
What Both Groups Need

• Math Classes
• MATH263 Series Calculus
• MATH340 Differential Equations
• MATH440 Vector Analysis
• Prerequisite for EE321 (E-mag)

8
What Both Groups Need

• EE Classes
• EE100 Series
• EE21x Series ( 210 212)
• EE221 Lab Instrumentation
• EE321 Electromagnitronics
• EE371 Prob. and Stats. For EEs
• EE395 Design Experiment Series
• EE495 - Senior Design
• 3 Senior Electives

9
What Both Groups Need

• Senior Year ( When you feel Old )
• 3 Excellent Senior Electives
• You can choose a specialization if you are EE,
  CpE is your specialization if you are CpE
• EE495 Senior Design
• Yearlong design project, mega-sweet

10

• Just EEs

11
EE Classes Only

• Computer Science Classes
• CS240A CS240B Intro to C
• Required Programming Electives
• -OR-
• CS210 CS240A intro to C and intro to C

12
EE Classes Only

• EE Classes
• EE333-EE334 Intermediate EE
• ( Analog Signals-Systems / Semiconductors)

13

• Computer
• Engineers

Computer
14

• Are you ready?
• (This might hurt)

15
Computer Engineering Classes

• Computer Science Classes
• Required
• CS240 Series ( A-C )
• CS300 Discrete Mathematics (Fun)
• Required Electives
• CS361 Data Structures

16
Computer Engineering Classes

• EE Classes
• Required
• EE351 EE352
• Required Electives
• EE224 Intro Digital Circuits
• EE461 Digital Design
• In The Future
• EE22? Combinational Circuits
• EE22? Sequential Circuits

17

• Minors

18
Math Minor

• Benefits
• Only need two more classes (410 and another 400
  level class)
• Help eliminate some general science requirements
• Doesnt EE/Cpe w/ Math Minor just sound Cooler?

19
Business Minor

• Benefits
• Attracts the eye of recruiters after college
  (looks better than math minors)
• Only? Requires 7 extra classes.
• If youre going to co-op, it fits in fairly well.
• Learn how easy business majors have it.

20

• Timing Suggestions

21
Timing

• Math 440
• Possibly the most important math after calculus
• Take as soon as possible
• Also one of the harder math classes, so give
  yourself time
• Math 263D is a Pre-requisite for Math 440.
• For EEs, Math 440 is a pre-req for EE321 which
  is a pre-req for EE395C

22
Timing

• Math 340
• Differential Equations If you can take it early,
  go ahead, but not a huge deal
• Im old and I still havent had it
• Not a prerequisite for anything, but has use in
  EE21x Series, and EE333-334, EE395C, EE351

23
Timing

• Statics CE220
• Statics is highly dependent on vector math, and
  knowing it well will make the class seem very
  simple
• Dont Listen to the Hype EE majors are much
  smarter than those CE idiots.
• Although, if youre EE, make sure you get above a
  C

24
Advisors

• They arent as bad as you think.
• Go see them after you already have an idea of
  what you want to take.
• Talking to your advisor and getting to know them
  early will help your relationship with them for
  years to come.
• Dr. Ostermann told me I had to say this.
• If youre Advisor doesnt have all the answers,
  go talk to Dr. Vassiliadas (Dr. V told me to say
  this)

25
Conclusion

• Have fun, take it easy, dont let classes get to
  you.
• Take advantage of SI sessions, Mentoring, your
  teachers, and your peers. ?
