5. Specializations
Students must select one of the four specializations listed below by the end of the sophomore year. The three technical electives may be satisfied by any upper-division (300 and 400 level) ESE courses that is not required. These technical electives must be 3 or 4 credits each and may not be satisfied by any of the required courses within the specialization.
Circuits and VLSI
- ESE 330 Integrated Electronics
- ESE 411 Analog Integrated Circuits
- 3 Technical Electives
Communications, Signal Processing, and Networking
Nanoelectronics and Photonics
Power and Energy Systems
6. Design
- ESE 440 and ESE 441 are engineering design project courses that must be carried out at SUNY Korea under the supervision of an Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty member.
7. Upper-Division Writing Requirement
ESE 300 Technical Communication for Electrical and Computer Engineers
All degree candidates must demonstrate skill in written English at a level acceptable for Electrical Engineering majors. Students must register for the writing course ESE 300 concurrently with or after completion of ESE 280. Students whose writing does not meet the required standard are referred for remedial help. Detailed guidelines are provided by the Department.
8. Engineering Ethics
- ESE 301 Engineering Ethics and Societal Impact
Note
Other electives require the approval of the undergraduate program director.
