Sample Schedule for BSEE (Bioengineering Concentration)

       

[1] GMU requires 45 hours of courses numbered 300 or above to be submitted as part of the required degree program courses when applying for graduation. If you transferred to GMU you may need to take extra course work to meet this requirement. Note, transfer courses labeled with an "L" in the GMU equivalent course do not count towards the 45 hours of "300 level or above" courses. These transfer courses do "count" toward satisfying the specifically required BSEE courses. See Dr. Sutton if you have any "L" labeled transfer courses that you are intending to apply towards the GMU BSEE degree, to discuss your options.

[2] Literature courses include: ENGL 201, 202, 203, 204; several ENGL 3xx literature courses; French 325, 329 (in English); German 325 (in English); Russian 325-327 (in English); Spanish 325, 329 (in English); CLAS 250, 260, 340, 350, 380; and PHIL 253. The ECE Department will announce additional approved literature courses as they become available.

[3] Students are strongly encouraged to try to plan a math sequence that will allow taking MATH 214, Differential Equations, prior to ECE 220. I.e. Summer classes, AP credits.

[4] Students desiring to "lighten" their course load during this semester are advised to consider taking only two or three of these courses depending on their interests or need for the corresponding course material as prerequisites for specific technical electives to be taken in the 7th semester, or for their Senior Design Project. Students planning on postponing ECE 460 are advised to move the  Probability course into the semester just before taking ECE 460 (substituting a course such as COMM 100, ECE 305, or a Humanity/Social Science course for the relocated 5th semester Probability course.)

[5] Advanced Engineering Laboratory Courses 

[6] Students may select any of the 400 level (and with permission 500 level) courses listed on pages BSEE Technical Elective Courses and Design Content, Electrical Engineering Technical Electives Outside the ECE Department, Technical Electives Listed by Electrical Engineering Area for their 9 hours of Technical Electives. One Technical Elective may be selected from an approved list of courses offered outside the Department (See list on page Electrical Engineering Technical Electives Outside the ECE Department). Students have the option of having their technical area concentration shown on their transcript by selecting their  Technical Electives Erom one of the Options outlined on pages BSEE Degree Option Requirements. The design content of the 9 hours of senior technical electives most total at least 3.0.

[7] The Global Understanding elective and the Fine Arts elective should be selected from the Department's lists of approved courses. See list of Approved Global Understanding Electives. See list of Approved Fine Arts Electives.

[8] No C- or D grades in ECE, ENGR or CS courses can be submitted for the BSCpE degree.

[9] The General Education Synthesis requirement is satisfied by satisfactory completion of ECE 492/493.

[1] GMU requires 45 hours of courses numbered 300 or above to be submitted as part of the required degree program courses when applying for graduation.
