Minor in Electrical Engineering
The purpose of the minor in Electrical Engineering is to give students in other fields of study a good basic background in Electrical Engineering. The 16-unit core provides an introduction to four basic areas of modern Electrical Engineering - basic electrical circuit theory, electronics, linear signals and systems, and digital logic and computer architecture. Elective courses provide opportunities for additional breadth or depth in a particular area. Students interested in the Electrical Engineering minor must meet with the Program Head of Electrical and Computer Engineering and complete the Electrical Engineering Minor Program Approval Form 
[PDF 26 KB]. Revision of the form requires the approval of the Program Head.
The minor is intended for students who have satisfied the following prerequisite requirements:
| Math 226 | Calculus I (4) |
| Math 227 | Calculus II (4) |
| Math 228 | Calculus III (4) |
| Math 245 | Elementary Differential Equations and Linear Algebra (3) |
| Phys220/222 | Physics I with Calculus (4) |
| Phys230/232 | Physics II with Calculus (4) |
The minor may be satisfied by a minimum of 22 units (not including prerequisite units) distributed as follows:
| 16 units |
| 6 units |
| Total | 22 units |
To earn a minor in Electrical Engineering, a student must complete at least 12 of the required 22 core and elective units at SFSU. All courses in the minor must be taken with letter grades (CR/NC is not acceptable).
