  24. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN(Assuming the new curriculum is introduced in (961) • Students graduate according to the curriculum they enter by total credit hours. • EE 202 (old & new) will run in parallel for approx. 2 years. • EE 300 level courses are offered as per new description. • Old students are advised to take MATH 3xx as Tech. elective before taking EE 340, 380. • Offer MATH 3xx as MATH elective for old students. • All EE electives are to be offered according to new curriculum. • EE 315 is to be offered from (961). All students can take it instead of STAT 315. • New EE 202, 205 will be offered starting (972).

  25. TENTATIVE LISTOF NEW EE ELECTIVE COURSES • EE 457 Digital Communication Electronics (3-3-4) • EE 4XX Analog active filter design (3-3-4) • EE 4XX Introduction to satellite communications (3-0-3) • EE 4XX Introduction to quantum electronics (3-0-3) • EE 4XX Integrated circuit design and analysis (3-0-3) • EE 4XX Process Control (3-3-4) • EE 4XX Industrial instrumentation (3-3-4) • EE 4XX Introduction to robotics (3-0-3)
