The Henry Samueli School of Engineering, UC Irvine

Undergraduate Student Site

Mathematics and Basic Science Courses: Mathematics 2A-B, 2D, 2J, 3D, and 6D; Physics 7B/7LB or Physics 7C/7LC; Physics 7D-E, 7LD, 51A, 52A-B; Engineering EECS145.

Engineering Topics Courses: Students must complete a minimum of 26 units of engineering design.

Core Courses: Engineering EECS12, EECS20, EECS31, EECS31L, EECS40, EECS70A, EECS70B, EECS70LB, EECS111, EECS112, EECS112L, EECS114, EECS115, EECS129A-B, EECS140, EECS148, EECS150A, EECS150B, EECS170A, EECS170LA, EECS170B, EECS170LB. With the approval of a faculty advisor, students select any additional engineering topics courses needed to satisfy school and department requirements.

Engineering Elective Courses: Students select, with the approval of a faculty advisor, a minimum of five courses of engineering topics. At least three courses must be chosen from EECS104, EECS105, EECS106, EECS107, EECS113, EECS116, EECS117, EECS118, EECS123, and Computer Science 142A. Additionally, EECS101, EECS141A, EECS141B, EECS152A, EECS152B, EECS170D, EECS199 or EECSH199 (up to 3 units) are approved as technical electives.

Engineering Professional Topics Courses: ENGR190W.

At most an aggregate total of 6 units of 199 or H199 courses may be used to satisfy degree requirements; 199 and H199 courses are open to students with a 3.0 GPA or higher.

(The nominal Computer Engineering program will require 184 units of courses to satisfy all university and major requirements. Because each student comes to UCI with a different level of preparation, the actual number of units will vary.)

Planning a Program of Study

The sample program of study chart shown is typical for the major in Computer Engineering. Students should keep in mind that this program is based upon a sequence of prerequisites, beginning with adequate preparation in high school mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Students who are not adequately prepared, or who wish to make changes in the sequence for other reasons, must have their program approved by their faculty advisor. Computer Engineering majors must consult at least once every year with the academic counselors in the Student Affairs Office and with their faculty advisors.
