Changes to PR Requirements for EEE and EEL Courses

See message from ECE that impacts courses in the PSE program:

See Mike McKee for any issues about these changes within the PSE program.

Dear ECE Students:

Please be advised that the prerequisites for 5 Junior level required courses have been changed.  These changes will take effect with the new academic calendar in Summer 2015Courses which require any of the following listed courses as prerequisites now require a grade of “C” (2.0) or better be awarded in the prerequisite courses.  This list of courses is as follows:

EGN3211 Engineering Analysis and Computation

EEL3004C Electrical Networks

EEE3342C Digital Systems

EEL3123C Networks and Systems

EEL3801C Computer Organization

As an example, if you try to register for the EEL4205 Electric Machines class in Fall of 2015, and you received a grade of C- or lower in EEL3004C during Spring of 2015, you will meet the program requirement for EEL3004C, but you will not be able to register for EEL4205 since you do not meet the prerequisite requirements for EEL4205.  Another example is if you are taking EEL3801C this term, Spring 2015, and you make a grade of C- or lower, you will not be able to register for EEL4742C in Summer 2015 or Fall 2015.

Therefore, beginning in the Summer 2015 semester you will need to repeat any of these 5 courses in which you have earned a grade of C- or lower, in order to then enroll in any classes which list these courses as prerequisites.

These changes are for prerequisites only, and apply to all catalog years current and previous, but do not affect your catalog year degree requirements.

Research Experience for Undergrads

Dear Colleagues,

Please share the following information about our 2015 REU Program with your undergraduate students.  Note that in addition to Electrical and Computer Engineering majors, this program is open to students in Materials Science, Bioengineering, and Physics.  If you could forward this information to these other departments at your institution it would be greatly appreciated.

The Holcombe Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at Clemson University is seeking applicants for a summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program.  This NSF funded program is entitled:  "REU Site:  Solid-State Devices for Electronics, Photonics, and Magnetics Technology".  The REU supports up to 10 summer students, with one to four semesters remaining in their undergraduate programs, to become involved with a faculty member and graduate students for a 10 week research experience at Clemson.  The program is open to undergraduate students in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Materials Science, Bioengineering, and Physics.  Closely related disciplines may also be considered.  The program provides summer housing on campus for the students and pays a generous stipend.

Attached is a Flyer describing the program, with a link to the REU Program Web site.  Interested students can apply from this site.  The link is:
