Optional areas of concentration have been defined to allow a student to develop a strength in a particular area of interest. Students satisfying the requirements of an area of concentration will have that fact noted on their transcripts.
- Digital Systems
- Electronics (Circuits and Devices)
- Electric Power
- Communications and Signal Processing
- Degree distinctions earned by taking advanced courses that share a common theme
- Concentrations are comprised of 3 advanced electives
- No substitutions / exceptions
- As new electives are created, concentrations offering will grow
Information on each area of concentration can be found below.
