To qualify for the degree of Electrical Engineer, the student must complete at least
90 credit hours of work, beyond the BSEE degree, in Electrical Engineering and allied

hour requirement, the student may choose to do a special project of up to 18 credit
hours, or may apply thesis credit of up to 15 credit hours previously applied to obtain
the MSEE degree. At least 45 credit hours, of the 90 credit hours required, must be

All course work must be approved, in advance, by the student's supervisory committee.
A special project, if done, must be completed under the supervision of the committee
