For students who are not ECE majors and are interested in broadening their exposure to and understanding of electrical and computer engineering, the ECE department offers a Minor. This Minor provides an exciting opportunity to acquire a solid knowledge of electrical and computer engineering as needed in today’s diverse and technology driven society.
The ECE minor form, available in the ECE office, lists examples of thematically related courses in different areas of concentration. Students seeking an ECE Minor should complete the ECE Minor form and submit it to the ECE office as early in the program of study as possible. The chair of the ECE curriculum committee will be responsible for review and approval of all ECE Minor requests.
WPI policy requires that no more than one unit of course work can be double counted toward other degree requirements.
Successful candidates for the ECE Minor must meet the following requirements:
Program Distribution Requirements for the Minor in Electrical and Computer Engineering
Electrical and Computer Engineering Coursework (Minimum 6/3 Units)
Students pursuing the Minor in Electrical and Computer Engineering must complete two units of work from courses with the prefix “ECE” at the 2000-level or above.
Of this work, at least 2/3 unit must be from ECE courses at the 3000-level or above which are thematically related.
