1. The Successful Completion of 136 Semester Hours
The successful completion of 136 s.h. in Electrical Engineering and a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 in work completed at Hofstra. Military Science may not be counted toward this total semester hour requirement.
2. Liberal Arts
At least 62 semester hours must be completed in the liberal arts. No course in the Department of Engineering may count toward this requirement except for:
3. Residence Requirements
There are two requirements that must ordinarily be completed in residence at Hofstra: 15 semester hours in the major field of specialization and the last 30 semester hours. The 15 semester hours need not be included within the last 30 hours.
4. General and Major Requirements:
The general and major requirements as listed under the program below. Courses may not be taken on a Pass/D+/D/Fail basis.
Program Educational Objectives
Graduates of the program will:
- Become successful practitioners in electrical engineering.
- Apply their liberal arts background to business and social situations.
- Continue to develop intellectually.
- Acclimate to the business environment.
The eleven generic indicators of achievement listed under the Department of Engineering student outcomes apply specifically to electrical engineering graduates, as a measure of the program’s effectiveness in meeting its stated objectives.
In addition to fulfilling the degree requirements listed above, the following courses must be successfully completed. ENGL 1 or placement examination* and ENGL 2; 6 hours in literature, literature in translation or comparative literature (chosen from distribution courses designated LT); 3 hours in behavioral social sciences (chosen from distribution courses designated BH); 3 hours in history, philosophy, religion in social sciences (chosen from distribution courses designated HP), and 3 hours in humanities or social sciences. Students transferring in with previous social science/humanities credits may use them in place of distribution requirements in the same category as the transferred credits.
A cumulative average of C or better is required in the following courses: ENGG 30, 32A, 33, 36, 104, 176, 177, 193.
Footnotes
* If this requirement is fulfilled by passing the placement examination, 3 semester hours in the humanities or social sciences should be taken with adviser’s approval.
** With adviser’s approval.
† Electrical engineering majors will choose three technical electives from the following list of courses: ENGG 101, 153, 166B, 172, 173, 174, 179, 180, 187, 190; one technical elective must be a design course: ENGG 172, 173 or 180.
