BACHELOR'S DEGREE PROGRAM
The UWF/UF Joint Program in Electrical Engineering is a cooperative arrangement between the two universities whereby the University of Florida (UF) will provide upper-level course offerings at The University of West Florida (UWF) campus and UWF provides the instructional faculty and physical facilities. This degree awarded by UF is identical to the one offered students on the Gainesville campus.

Electrical Engineering is a science-oriented branch of engineering primarily concerned with all phases and development of the transmission and utilization of power and intelligence. The study of electrical engineering is commonly divided into the academic areas of circuits, electronics, electromagnetics, electrical energy systems, communications, control, and computer engineering.

Because of the extremely rapid growth and changes relating to the application of electrical engineering principles, the curriculum is designed to concentrate on a solid core of foundation courses. Fourteen hours of technical electives are included in order to permit a student to delve more deeply into selected subject matter.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
The number of applicants who can be accepted is limited by the available classroom and laboratory space, laboratory facilities, and faculty. It is the department's policy to admit the best qualified applicants as demonstrated by high academic achievement, within the enrollment limitations discussed above. Admission is directly tied to students' performance in physics and calculus courses because subsequent work is intimately related to these disciplines. Currently accepted minimum is a 2.5 GPA in the eight advanced mathematics and science lecture courses of the common prerequisites. If a course is repeated, both grades count in this GPA calculation. During the semester prior to the graduation term, the student's record is officially transferred to Gainesville where it is reviewed to certify that the particular course selections do satisfy all graduation requirements.

The Electrical Engineering Department publishes a counseling guide which provides detailed information beyond that stated in this Catalog.

In addition to general University requirements and General Studies requirements found in the 1996-97 Catalog, students seeking the B.S. in Electrical Engineering must meet the requirements listed below. A minimum course grade of "C" or better is required in all EEL courses and labs which serve as prerequisites to other EEL courses and labs, plus EEL 4914C.

Students should consult with their academic advisor for courses which may satisfy both the General Studies requirements and common prerequisites.
