USF 1997-98 Undergraduate Catalog - Pages 198 - 199 | Course Descriptions |
Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program take designated coursework in network analysis, electronics, communications, electromagnetic theory, control systems, microelectronics and microprocessors. This coursework is supplemented by electives in many specialized areas of electrical engineering.
Students completing this program normally pursue industrial careers in the power, electrical, electronic, or information industries or in related governmental laboratories and public service agencies. The electrical graduate may apply his/her knowledge to such diverse areas as television, communications, remote guidance, sensing (of people, vehicles, weather, crops, etc.), automation, computer and information systems, electric power generation and transmission, electrically propelled transportation, etc. The graduate may do this by performing needed engineering functions related to research and development (often requires an advanced degree), design, production, operation, sales, or management of these products/services.
The schedule which follows indicates how a serious, well prepared student who can devote full time to coursework can satisfy degree requirements in four academic years. Students without a solid foundation and those who cannot devote full time to academics should plan on a slower pace. A minimum departmental GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation.

*Required for admissions to the Electrical Engineering Department
**Approved General Education Requirements
Complete the A.A. degree at the community college. Some courses required for the major may also meet General Education Requirements thereby transferring maximum hours to the university. A minimum of 60 semester hours must be completed at the university. If a student wishes to transfer without an A.A. degree and have fewer than 60 semester hours of acceptable credit, the student must meet the university’s entering freshman requirements including ACT or SAT test scores, GPA, and course requirements.
The following are transferable courses from the Community College that will be accepted in the Math/Science/Engineering areas:
This is a limited access program involving special admissions requirements. Please be aware of the immunization, foreign language, continuous enrollment policies of the university, and qualitative standards required.
Procedures for Applying to the College of Engineering
Students should complete and submit an Engineering Admissions Application to the College of Engineering Advising Office. Freshmen and Sophomores must submit copies of high school transcripts, SAT and ACT test scores to the College of Engineering, Advising Office. This is in addition to records requested by the University’s Admissions Office. Transfer applicants must furnish transcripts from previously attended institutions to the College of Engineering, Advising Office. This is in addition to transcripts sent to the University’s Admissions Office. Applicants whose native language is other than English must submit TOEFL scores to the College of Engineering. The minimum TOEFL scores must be 550. Credentials must be received in the Engineering Advising Office 30 days prior to the date of applicable term. Failure to comply will result in the application being denied by the College of Engineering. Credentials will be held for one year. If application is not updated within that year, credentials must be re-submitted.
Engineering Admissions Requirements
Transfer students must have completed the equivalent USF Engineering Calculus sequence with a 2.0 GPA; must have completed one year of equivalent USF General Physics and Chemistry courses with a minimum of 2.0 GPA; must have an overall GPA of 2.0 or better.
