Pathways

UCLA  Fig 3(11K)



Students are required to select three major field elective courses (12 units), one design course (4 units), and one laboratory course (2-4 units) from one of eight available pathways. Students following the Biomedical Engineering and Computer Engineering programs must select the corresponding pathways. Students following the Electrical Engineering option should select one of six pathways.



Electrical Engineering Pathways

  • Antennas and Microwaves:

    Three major field elective courses from Electrical Engineering 162A, 163A, and 163B or 163C; one design course from 164D or 184D; and one laboratory course from 164L (or by petition from 194 or 199)

  • Integrated Circuits:

    Three major field elective courses from Electrical Engineering 115B, 115C, and M116C; one design course from 115D or 184D; and one laboratory course from 115BL (or by petition from 194 or 199)

  • Microelectromechanical (MEMS) Systems:

    Three major field elective courses from Electrical Engineering 115B or 123A or 124, CM150, and 163A or 173; one design course from 129D; and one laboratory course from 122L or CM150L (or by petition from 194 or 199).

  • Photonics and Plasma Electronics:

    Three major field elective courses from Electrical Engineering 172, 173, and 174 or 175 or M185; one design course from 173D; and one laboratory course from 172L (or by petition from 194 or 199)

  • Signals and Systems:

    Three major field elective courses from Electrical Engineering 114, 115B, 115C, 131B, 132B, 136, 142, 162A; one design course from 113D, 173D, 180D, or 184D; and one laboratory course from 115BL or M116L or M171L (or by petition from 194 or 199)

  • Solid State:

    Three major field elective courses from Electrical Engineering 123A, 123B, and 124; one design course from 129D; and one laboratory course from 122L (or by petition from 194 or 199)

Biomedical Engineering Pathway

Three major field electives from Electrical Engineering 132A, 141, and 176 or Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering 105A; one design course from Electrical Engineering 113D or 180D; and one laboratory course from Biomedical Engineering CM186C or Electrical Engineering M171L (or by petition from 194 or 199).

Computer Engineering Pathway

Three major field electives from Computer Science 111, 117 or Electrical Engineering 132A, and Computer Science 131 or 132 or 180; one design course from Electrical Engineering 113D, 180D, or 184D; and one laboratory course from Electrical Engineering M116L (or by petition from 194 or 199).

Policy regarding EE194 and EE199 courses

This policy applies to all majors (electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, and computer engineering). Upon approval by the department advisor, students may use one EE194 or one EE199 (minimum 2 units and maximum 4 units) to satisfy degree requirements. The EE194 or EE199 units used in this way are only allowed to replace the laboratory course requirement within the student’s selected pathway as described above. The theme of the EE194 or EE199 work must be related to the student’s pathway. Additional EE194s and 199s will not satisfy any other degree requirement. At most one EE194 or EE199 course will be included in the Major Field GPA. The grade for the EE194 or EE199 course used to satisfy a degree requirement must be included in the Major Field GPA.
