Honors Program Requirements
EECS honors students are required to complete 15 to 20 credit hours of honors courses in the EECS Department. General guidelines for these credit hours are given below. However, the specific courses that each student takes will be agreed upon by the student, the department’s undergraduate advisor, and the student’s honors advisor. The student’s regular undergraduate advisor is responsible for finding an honors advisor who is mutually agreeable to the undergraduate advisor, the honors advisor, and the honors student.
In addition to honors courses, honors students are required to take MTH 281 - Multivariable Calculus (4 credits) , instead of MTH 283 - Multivariable Calculus For Engineers (2 credits) . However, students who have taken MTH 283 before admission to the honors program are not required to take MTH 281 .
1. Honors Courses
The honors credits (15 to 20 hours) should be selected from the following list:
- Honors Thesis (required) (EEC 499H , 1 to 6 credits) - Each honors student conducts research and writes a thesis under the supervision of an EECS faculty member.
- Honors Research (EEC 495H , 1 to 6 credits) - This is research conducted jointly with an EECS faculty, similar to an independent study.
- Graduate Course - Any 500 level EECS graduate course for which the student has the prerequisites.
- Junior Honors, Senior Honors - Most 300 level and 400 level EECS courses can be expanded to become an honors course. This is referred to by the Honors Program as a “contract course.” This is done in collaboration among the undergraduate advisor, the honors advisor, and the course instructor.
2. Replaced Credit Hours
Honors credits can be used to replace the equivalent credit hours (15 to 20) of the normally required courses. For BEE students, credits earned as Honors Thesis (EEC 499H ) and Honors Research (EEC 495H ) can replace credits for any 400 level EEC or CIS course, with the exception of Senior Design (EEC 493 /494 ). For BCE students, these replaced credits can include any 400 level EEC or CIS course, with the exception of Senior Design (EEC 493 /494 ) and Computer Organization (EEC 483 ).
University Scholars Requirements
Scholars students who are majoring in Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering are required to complete 12 to 20 credit hours of honors courses in the EECS Department. General guidelines for these credit hours are given below. However, the specific courses that each student selects to fulfill upper-division scholars requirements will be agreed upon by the student, the department’s undergraduate advisor, and the student’s scholars advisor. The student’s undergraduate academic advisor is responsible for finding an upper-division scholars advisor who is mutually agreeable to the undergraduate advisor, the scholars advisor, and the student.
