Out of Research Area Course:

Students enrolled in the program must take one course from any of the other research areas.

Mathematical Foundations Course:

Student enrolled in the program must take one course from the Mathematical Foundations Course List. If EE 502 is taken as a research area core course, one additional course is required from that list.

Elective Courses:

The course work can be completed by taking the courses in the EE Course List or any engineering and science departments.
