There have been several updates to Computer Engineering courses that will go into effect this fall. Additionally, the CE degree requirements are changed to increase flexibility. All CE majors (and CS students interested in these courses) should carefully read through the information below. Contact the CSE advisors if you have any questions.
Course Changes:
Renumbered Courses:
- CSE 352 will be replaced by CSE 369 (formerly CSE 390C) and CSE/EE 371
- CSE 466 will become CSE/EE 474: It will have extra contact hours but some of them will not be needed for students who have already taken 351. CE students should take 351 then CSE/EE 474.
- CSE 477 will become CSE 475
- CSE/EE 469 is a renumbered version of EE471 available for both CSE and EE students. It will include material about processors previously taught in 352.
- CSE 470 is a renumbered and updated version of CSE 471 available for both CSE and EE students. It will cover higher level computer architecture topics.
- CSE 468 and 476 will be removed from the catalog, but CSE students have the option to take VLSI courses (EE 476 and 477) if they have the correct prerequisites.
Further notes on prerequisites:
- The prerequisite of 466/474 (embedded systems) will be moved to just CSE 143, but CSE 351 is strongly recommended. 474 is being offered this summer under the old EE number (472) in addition to next winter (EE 474), so CSE students can take it either summer or winter by EE or this fall when CSE will teach it.
- CSE 477/475 will only require CSE 369 and 466 or the new EE/CSE 474 as a prerequisite.
All the courses above except 475, which is a capstone, will be added to the CSE Core Course List.
Degree Requirements:
Next, there are degree requirement changes to the CSE Electives section for all Computer Engineering degrees:
- One course chosen from: CSE 403, CSE/EE 474, or CSE 484
- Comment: reflects the renumbering of 466 to 474
- 3 additional courses chosen from the Computer Engineering Systems Electives list on the CSE website
- Comment: This is a new list that includes the old courses and the renumbered courses. The courses on this list also qualify as CSE Core Courses.
- 2 additional courses from the CSE Core Courses list on the CSE website
- a Design Capstone course from the approved Capstone list on the CSE website
- 4 credits of College of Engineering courses from the CSE Elective list on the CSE website
- Additional courses from the CSE Electives list on the CSE website, to bring the total CSE Elective credits to 36.
