6. 6 Recent BSEE Curriculum Changes Programming requirements changed: Previous: CS 121 Programming design (4 credits) and CS 122 Data Structures (4 credits) New: CS 251 C Programming (3 credits) and EE 221 Numerical Computing (Matlab) (2 credits) Probability course changed from Stat 443 to either of Stat 360 or Stat 443. Special EE Tech. Elective (any one of 4) required. All four EE Tech. Electives include Probability application to address ABET concerns. Two of remaining 4 Tech. Electives must be EE courses. Two others can be any among approved electives.
