Entering students who have indicated the desire to major in electrical engineering will be admitted directly to the major. To remain in good standing, a student must complete a minimum of eight of the following Post Screening courses (or equivalent) with a grade of C- or better during his (or her) first five quarters at UCSD. At least two of the eight courses must be from the “EE Post Screening Courses” list.

Post Screening Courses for the EE Major:

EE Post Screening Courses: ECE 25, 30, 35, 45, 65

Other Post Screening Courses: Chemistry 6A; Math 20A, 20B, 20C, 20D; Physics 2A, 2B, 2C

The average GPA from any six of the above courses successfully completed, including at least two EE Post Screening Courses, must exceed 2.5. If a student fails to complete the eight required courses, or to obtain the required minimum GPA, he (or she) will be dismissed from the electrical engineering major.

Continuing UCSD students who wish to transfer into the EE major will be evaluated under the rules that are in effect the year in which they enter the major. To remain in good standing, a student must complete a minimum of eight of the Post Screening courses given above (see “Post Screening Courses for the EE Major”) with a grade of C- or better during his (or her) first three quarters as an EE major. At least two of the eight courses must be from the “EE Post Screening Courses” list.

The average GPA from any six of the above courses successfully completed, including at least two EE Post Screening Courses, must exceed 2.5. If a student fails to complete the eight required courses, or to obtain the required minimum GPA, he (or she) will be dismissed from the electrical engineering major.

Transfer Student Admits

Entering students who have indicated the desire to major in electrical engineering will be admitted directly to the major. To remain in good standing, the student must complete a minimum of eight of the Post Screening courses given above (see “Post Screening Courses for the EE Major”) with a grade of C- or better during his (or her) first three quarters as an EE major. At least two of the eight courses must be from the “EE Post Screening Courses” list.

The average GPA from any six of the above courses successfully completed, including at least two EE Post Screening Courses, must exceed 2.5. If a student fails to complete the eight required courses, or to obtain the required minimum GPA, he (or she) will be dismissed from the electrical engineering major.

Minimum Requirements and Course Equivalents

Please note that the above Post Screening process represents the minimum requirement to remain in the major, and does not satisfy all of the lower-division and upper-division requirements for the electrical engineering major. Please consult the sections “Lower-Division Requirements” and “Upper-Division Requirements” to ensure that you satisfy all lower-division and upper-division course requirements.

Petitions to have courses from other departments or institutions considered as equivalents to the Post Screening courses will be approved (or denied) on a case-by-case basis. If approved, both the course and the grade received can be used to satisfy the Post Screening requirements detailed above.
