Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

The basic program is a set of core courses common to all engineering programs. Each engineering curriculum requires the completion of the basic program as well as the curriculum-designated requirements.

Basic Program Classes

The electrical and computer engineering basic program courses center around:

• Chem 167, 155 and 165, or 177
• CprE/EE 185 (CprE 183 and 184, Engr 161, or Engr 160 may be accepted)
• English 104 and 105
• Engr 101
• Library 160
• Math 165 and 166
• Phys 221

Required GPA

You are required to have at least a 2.0 GPA within the basic program courses and a 2.0 cumulative GPA at ISU (some exceptions - see unversity bulletin) in order to

• take core engineering classes
• graduate with an engineering degree from ISU.

Basic Program Violation

You will become a basic program violator if

1. You have not completed your basic program courses or do not have a 2.0 GPA in them; and
2. You have registered for a second semester of core engineering courses.

If you are a basic program violater, you will be notified and warned to correct the problem. If you don't take any steps to fix the problem, the College of Engineering has the right to remove any engineering courses on your schedule unless you work with your advisor and the College of Engineering to resolve the matter.

Transfer Students

Transfer students have an additional semester to meet the basic program requirements.
