Lee Belfore, Minor Coordinator
An undergraduate minor in computer engineering may be obtained by successful completion of 13 or more semester credit hours of approved electrical or computer engineering or computer science course work at the 200, 300 or 400 level. In addition, a student seeking a minor in computer engineering must satisfy all pre- or corequisite requirements for the courses selected. CS 150 (or CS 151 or CS 153) or ENGN 122, CS 250 (or CS 251 or CS 253 or (ECE 250 and CS 261)), and CS 252 are prerequisites for the minor and are not included in the calculation of the GPA for the minor. The chief departmental advisor must approve the precise course of study.
Requirements
The basic course requirements are as follows:
Course List
Code |
Title |
Credit Hours |
ECE 241 | Fundamentals of Computer Engineering | 4 |
CS 361 | Data Structures and Algorithms | 3 |
* | 6 |
| Digital System Design | |
| Microcontrollers | |
| Introduction to Networks and Data Communications | |
| Introduction to Discrete-time Signal Processing ** | |
| Computer Graphics and Visualization | |
| Introduction to Game Development | |
| Advanced Digital Design and Field Programmable Gate Arrays | |
| Network Engineering and Design | |
| Embedded Systems | |
Total Credit Hours | 13 |
For completion of a minor, a student must have a minimum overall cumulative grade point average of 2.00 in all courses specified as a requirement for the minor exclusive of lower-level courses (except for ECE 241), prerequisites and corequisites and complete a minimum of six hours of upper-division courses in the minor through courses offered by Old Dominion University. Completion of a minor in computer engineering with a GPA of 3.00 or greater partially satisfies the leveling requirements for graduate degrees in computer engineering.
