A minor in Electrical Engineering (EE) will prepare students for additional study or employment in electrical engineering fields. Students will become familiar with basic theory and techniques necessary for analyzing electrical and electronics systems and informing their design decisions involving electrical and electronics systems. Academic advising toward the EE minor is available from the ECE Undergraduate Program Coordinator located in 135 Simrall. Students are not able to declare a minor until their last term of enrollment in the degree application. Our department has a Intent to Minor Form that can be completed online. The information gathered is used keep EE minors informed, to make sure they are clear about the minor requirements and for the department to reference when entering major restriction overrides. The form is available through this link: Intent to Minor in Electrical Engineering
Students majoring in electrical engineering and computer engineering are not eligible.
A minimum of 16 hours must be taken to obtain the EE minor. All courses used to earn the EE minor must be taken at MSU. A grade of “C” or better must be earned in all courses for the EE minor. A minimum grade point average of 2.0/4.0 is required in all courses taken as a part of the EE minor.
For all eligible MSU majors, the EE minor consists of three required courses and two restricted elective courses. Note that some course choices may require other courses as prerequisites. Prerequisite courses of note are: MA 3113 Linear Algebra and MA 3253 Differential Equations. Electromagnetic elective courses require PH 2223 Physics II. Computer hardware (Digital Devices, Microprocessors, and continuing computing courses) require Computer Programming (CSE) pre-requisites.
