(Fee: $100) EGEE-3920 Electrical Engineering Internship 1–3 hours An opportunity for an electrical engineering student to work closely with an industrial advisor. Specific attention is given to solving a particular problem(s) in that industry or firm. A faculty advisor assists in supervising and approving the internship, including assessing the number of credit hours. A final report (approximately seven pages per credit hour) describing the experience, including the problem and solution, is required. Must be arranged with faculty sponsor and work supervisor before starting and cannot be used to satisfy elective credit requirements. Prerequisites: junior or senior engineering major status; faculty advisor’s permission. EGEE-3950 Topics in Electrical Engineering –Fa, Sp 1–3 hours Selected topics in electrical engineering at the 3000-level that will complement or extend existing 2000- and 3000-level courses or expose students to topics not taught in other courses; may be proposed by the engineering faculty or students. Prerequisite: instructor’s permission. EGEE-3980 1–3 hours Independent Study in Electrical Engineering Opportunity to perform independent research or study in electrical engineering and allied fields of application. A formal proposal for study must be approved by the faculty advisor before registering for this course. Up to three credit hours of engineering electives can be satisfied by an equivalent number of independent-study hours. Prerequisites: junior or senior engineering major status and faculty advisor’s permission. EGEE-3990 1–3 hours Project Design in Electrical Engineering –Fa, Sp An elective course for students to get academic credit for extracurricular design work in computer engineering; project may be related to a design competition, ministry, industry, or personal interest.
