It is different from the Class Number. Class Number is the number that a course is given during a par`cular semester. It is used when you enroll every semester. 29 ECE Department • 3 credit hour courses meet 3 hours/week (either 2 `mes/week MW or TTh or 3 `mes/week MWF) with 10 minutes between classes. • You can take back to back a couple of classes; it is difficult to take too many back to back classes. • 1 credit hour lab meets more than an hour,i.e.,ECE 1100, which is a 1 credit hour course meets twice per week for an hour. 30 ECE Department Course Offerings • Many ECE courses are offered every semester. • Some are offered every Fall semester and some are offered every Spring semester. • We post on the web the planned course offerings of the ECE department for the next 12 to 18 months: h=p://www.ee.uh.edu/undergraduate/future-‐course-‐ offerings • Very few, if any, ECE courses are offered in the Summer. 31 ECE Department C-‐ Rule: The College of Engineering requires a grade of "C-‐" or be=er for credit in any mathemaKcs, science, or engineering course that applies toward the bachelor's degree. In addi`on, the "C-‐" is required for any mathema`cs, science, or engineering course used as a prerequisite for a subsequent course. 32 ECE Department Max. number of a`empts: The College of Engineering policy does not allow a student to a=empt Engineering courses more than two `mes and science or mathema`cs more than three `mes. Counted a=empts include all courses that resulted in a grade of “A-‐F”, “W” or “I”. 33 ECE Department Six “W” grades limit: • A student can drop a course up to the last day to drop a course or withdraw from all courses deadline. This deadline falls approximately four weeks before the last class day of the Fall and Spring semesters. • Once the 6 'W's have been used, you must complete all courses you are enrolled in regardless of academic performance. • Courses dropped at other Texas public ins`tu`ons count towards the 6-‐drop limit. 34 ECE Department Residency Requirements: The University requires that the last 30 semester hours have to be completed in residency. The College of Engineering requires that a minimum of 30 hours of engineering courses must be completed in residency. A student of the Cullen College of Engineering (CCE) cannot take an Engineering course at another University. Only engineering courses taken before the student has transferred to the CCE can apply for transfer credit. 35 ECE Department ECE Degree Plans FAQ • Can I subsKtute CHEM1331 for CHEM1372? • CHEM1372 is a combina`on of CHEM1331 and CHEM1332 most relevant for engineering. • Taking either CHEM1331 or CHEM1332 alone is not equivalent to CHEM1372. • CHEM1331 and CHEM1332 can subs`tute CHEM1372. • CHEM1111 Lab or CHEM1112 Lab can subs`tute CHEM1117 • Submit a General PeKKon only if you have taken one of the two labs. • It is possible to take one semester CHEM 1372 and a later semester CHEM1117. 36 ECE Department ECE Degree Plans FAQ • The degree plan specifically requires ECON 2304 (Microeconomics) but I took ECON 2305 (Macroeconomics). Do I have to take ECON 2304? • No, we will con`nue to accept either ECON 2304 or ECON 2305. • Because we feel that ECON 2304 is more relevant to engineering, we decided to list it explicitly in our degree plan to encourage students to choose it over 2305. 37 ECE Department ECE Degree Plans FAQ • I have already taken Math 3331 (DifferenKal EquaKons). Do I need to take Math 3321 (Engineering Math)? • Yes, unless you have taken Math 2331 (Linear Algebra) and Math 3331 (Differen`al Equa`ons). • Math 2331 and Math 3331 can subs`tute Math 3321. 38 ECE Department ECE Degree Plans FAQ Changes in Prerequisites • An older flowchart indicates that course xxxx is not a prerequisite for course yyyy, while a new flowchart indicates that course xxxx is a prerequisite for course yyyy. Does that mean that the course prerequisite does not apply to students who follow the older flowchart? • Changes in prerequisites apply to everybody who has not taken a course, no ma=er what the old flowchart indicates. 39 ECE Department Course Load • To graduate in 4 years you will need to enroll in 32-‐33 credit hours per year (16 to 18 hours per semester) . • Max. Load: – 19 credit hours for Fall and Spring • To enroll for more credit hours than the max. (up to 22) you need to submit a General PeKKon – has to be approved by the Advisor and the Undergraduate Associate Dean of Engineering 40 ECE Department Course Load Employment Work Load/Week Recommended Semester Course Load Not Employed 16-‐18 Credit Hours 1-‐20 Hours Not more than 14 Hours 20-‐30 Hours Not more than 13 Hours 30-‐40 Hours Not more than 10 Hours 41 ECE Department A more realis`c Rule to determine the Number of Credit Hours to enroll in If x is the number of credit hours a student is enrolled in, then Number of hours employed + 4 X ≤ 60 X = (60-‐ Number of hours employed)/4 Example if a student works 20 hours, he/she should enroll for X= (60-‐ Number of hours employed)/4 =10 credit hours 42 ECE Department University Tes`ng Services(UTS) 204 Student Service Center 1 www.las.uh.edu/uts 43 ECE Department • All new engineering students must take the mathema`cs placement examina`on before enrolling in their first math course. • Students that have received transfer credit for Math 1431, do not need to take the placement examina`on. 44 ECE Department Math Placement Exams Math 1310 College Algebra Placement into Math 1310 Placement into Math 1330 Placement into Math 1431 Math 1330 Pre-‐Calculus Math 1431 Calculus I Grade of 65 or be=er is needed for all placement tests h=p://online.math.uh.edu/MathPlacement/Decide/ 45 ECE Department Transfer Students • Transfer students should already have credit for Math 1431. 46 ECE Department Credit By Examina`on • Credit by Examina`on Programs accepted at UH - - - - Advanced Placement (AP) Examina`ons SAT Subject Tests Interna`onal Baccalaureate (IB) UH Departmental Examina`ons • Official Test Scores must be sent to UTS • A form must be filled out at UTS 47 ECE Department Credit By Examina`on • Placement in English and Mathema`cs will be determined by student’s – SAT/ACT scores – AP scores or – Internal UH Placement tests 48 ECE Department How Do I Get My Transfer Courses To Be Equivalent To Courses at UH? Transfer Course Equivalencies for Engineering: h`p://www.uh.edu/admissions/apply/apply-‐transfer/by-‐ major/Engineering-‐2013.pdf 49 ECE Department How Do I Get My Transfer Courses To Be Equivalent To Courses at UH? Step1: • Official transcript must be submi=ed to the Admissions Office. Evalua`on is done by the Office of the Registrar and the process takes 6-‐8 weeks. h=p://www.uh.edu/admissions/admi=ed/transfer-‐credit Check in PS for which equivalent U of H course you received credit for. • If the designa`on of the course that you took somewhere else is “ElecKve”, then, if you s`ll think that the course that you took somewhere else is equivalent to a U of H course, then submit a transfer credit pe``on. 50 ECE Department How Do I Get My Transfer Courses To Be Equivalent To Courses at UH?

Transcript should be submi=ed. 52 ECE Department Course Registra`on • Before enrolling for a course check carefully the Prerequistes/Corequisites. – h=p://www.ee.uh.edu/undergraduate/curriculum-‐flowcharts – h=p://www.uh.edu/academics/catalog/colleges/egr/courses/ece – h=p://www.uh.edu/academics/corecurriculum/ • Go to myUH to enroll – h=p://www.uh.edu/academics/courses-‐enrollment/ 53 ECE Department Con`nuous Enrollment • Registering for and successfully comple`ng at least one 3 hour course in a 13 month period • Otherwise need to reapply for admission h=p://www.uh.edu/admissions/apply/Re-‐apply-‐Former-‐Student – $50 fee – Deadlines • April 1st for Summer Term • July 1st for Fall Term • November 1st for Spring term 54 ECE Department • • • • General Pe``on Course Overload Request Course Subs`tu`on Degree Requirement Excep`on Change of Major You can find this pe``on at • http://www.uh.edu/academics/forms/#generalpetition or at the ECE dept. web site: • h=p://www.ee.uh.edu/undergraduate/forms 55 ECE Department Academic Dishonesty Policy All students and faculty of the University of Houston are responsible for being familiar with this policy. h=p://www.uh.edu/academics/catalog/policies/academ-‐reg/academic-‐ honesty • Pay a=en`on to the policy of each instructor for homeworks, labs, projects, etc., especially with regard to collabora`on. • Make sure you know beforehand what is permissible and what is not. Do not assume. • At the beginning of the semester in every ECE course you will sign an academic honesty agreement form. 56 ECE Department Seeking Assistance Michael Craig Undergraduate Advisor N329 Engineering Building 1 Dr. Pauline Markenscoff Faculty Advisor N320 Engineering Building 1 57 ECE Department Administration Dr. Badrinath Roysam Chairman, ECE Dept.
