What are ECE-Specific Study Plans

Study plans that have been partially completed for students in the Electrical Engineering program or in the Computer Engineering program are provided here. All ECE undergraduates should use the forms provided here, rather than the generic School of Engineering forms provided by the Registar's Web site. Students completing those generic SOE forms have had difficulties knowing where to insert various required EE/CpE courses.

Filling Out the Forms

• Select the catalog dates appropriate for your starting academic year in the program.
  
• Download the MS Word document to which the catalog date is linked.
  
• Information that you must enter is indicated by highlighted areas with lines. Double click on a highlighted area to start entering the information. (If you single click, you add to the existing default text rather than replacing it).
  
• If substituting an advanced course for a required course, list the course under "Other Courses" in the following format:
  (required course number) -> Course being substituted
  
• Your study plan must be complete, including semesters when courses are taken, grades obtained in each completed course, and specific courses entered where options exist (HUM courses, technical electives, electives).
  
• Your study plan must be approved (and signed) by your academic advisor. When completed, print out the form and bring it to your academic advisor for approval.
  
• It is recommended that you verify the accuracy of these study plan forms against your Stevens Catalog program description's requirements. Report any errors to the Department Director.

Some Information Regarding Study Plans

EE/CpE-Specific Courses:

The EE-specific and CpE-specific technical electives which undergraduates are required to complete have been entered into the study plans at this site. Each study plan represents the ECE program description in the Stevens Undergraduate Catalog for the years specified. Upon starting their programs, students use the Stevens Catalog for their entry year to determine required courses for completion of degrees. For example, the 2000-2001 Stevens Catalog applies to students entering during the Fall 2000 semester or the Spring 2001 semester. Substitution of courses for required courses is generally not allowed. In some cases, students elect to take a more advanced course on the same topic as a required EE/CpE elective course. Such decisions must be approved by the student's advisor.

"Technical Electives"

Techicnal electives are to be chosen from among the ECE-numbered courses. In some cases, an undergraduate may be permitted to chose a course, not listed as an ECE-numbered course, from another academic department. Specific approval must be obtained to use such courses as technical electives. Undergraduates may take 500-level graduate courses as technical electives with the permission of the instructor and with the appropriate prerequisites. Undergraduates interested in taking 600-level graduate courses as technical electives should consult the web site of the Graduate School. Restrictions apply and various permissions must be obtained for an undergraduate to be accepted into a 600-level course.

"Electives"

Electives are "free electives" and can be chosen from among any Stevens courses, including ECE courses. The intent of "electives," as opposed to "technical electives," is to provide the student with the opportunity to expand his/her education beyond the required courses and to select courses from any area of interest.

"Humanities"

Humanities courses are to be selected according to the specific requirements for Engineering Students given in the Humanities Department's section of the Stevens Undergraduate Catalog. Students not satisfying these specific requirements will confront problems when preparing to graduate.
