CPE Technical Electives
Students of the Computer Engineering undergraduate program are required to complete six hours of CPE Technical Electives. Students must select three credit hours from the ECE and CSE Course List shown below. The remaining three hours of CPE Technical Electives can be selected from the Expanded List, including upper-level Math, Physics, and Engineering courses.

In addition to the ECE courses regularly offered, students wishing to obtain elective credit in areas of study where no formal courses are offered, a Directed Individual Study course may be pursued. These courses require mutual agreement between the student and faculty member with regard to topic, objective(s), scope, deliverables, and method(s) of evaluation . DIS courses require that the student initiate the pursuit of such beginning a minimum of two months in advance of the start of the term in which the coursework is to be completed. No more than one DIS may be applied as a CPE Technical Elective.
