LICENSURE DISCLOSURE

This program has potential ties to professional licensure or certification in
the field. For more information on how this program may prepare you in that
regard, please view the licensure disclosure for the Electrical Engineering,
Comprehensive Track (B.S.E.E.) program.


PROGRAM DESCRIPTION


ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

 * Students wanting to declare a major in an engineering discipline must be in
   good academic standing and must have a "C" (2.0) or better in each of the
   following courses or their equivalents: MAC 2311C, MAC 2312, PHY 2048C, and
   CHS 1440 or CHM 2045C.
 * Students wanting to declare a major in an engineering discipline must
   complete a change of major in the term of completion of the final pending
   prerequisite course(s) listed above.


DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

 * Students in the Electrical Engineering major are expected to make consistent
   good progress toward their degrees to remain enrolled in, or eligible for,
   any major in the College of Engineering & Computer Science (CECS) or the
   College of Optics and Photonics (COP). Therefore, any student majoring in
   Electrical Engineering who repeats any UCF course and does not earn a grade
   of "C" (2.0) or better on the second attempt will be placed on Lack of
   Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the
   student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress
   Probation does not receive a grade of "C" (2.0) or better by the third
   attempt in the same UCF course, the student will be excluded from all CECS
   and COP majors. Any student majoring in Electrical Engineering who has
   accumulated 7 or more unsuccessful attempts (i.e., grades below "C" (2.0) and
   withdrawals) over all courses taken at UCF will be placed on Lack of Progress
   Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is
   enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation
   has a tenth unsuccessful attempt over all courses taken at UCF, the student
   will be excluded from all CECS and COP majors.
 * A student who is excluded from CECS and COP majors may seek readmission to a
   major in CECS or COP after at least one full year has passed since exclusion.
   Readmission is not automatic and is dependent upon a high probability of
   success after readmission. Any student who is readmitted to the Electrical
   Engineering major will be subject to all probation conditions that applied at
   the time of exclusion.
