The following indicates the recommended schedule for computer engineering students to complete the departmental required courses and some others.
Students take four courses per quarter.
Undesignated spaces in the schedule are to be filled with humanities and social science requirements, science and engineering requirements, and technical and unrestricted electives. Typically, students begin their sciences, engineering and social studies in the Freshman and Sophomore years. Technical electives are generally taken in the Junior and Senior years. There are also special options for students participating in the CO-OP program, which takes five years.
