Software Engineering Concentration Course Schedule
Students in the B.S. in computer science degree who are pursuing the software engineering concentration, please note the following course offerings for software engineering courses: CSE 445 (Fall, Spring), CSE 460 (Fall, Spring), CSE 461 (Fall), CSE 462 (Spring).

Undergraduate Curriculum Information

CSE 320/CSE 325

For computer systems engineering students continuing on 2005-2006 or earlier curriculums who are taking CSE 325 and/or CSE 320 – please note that these courses are three credit hours instead of four credit hours. CSE 325 replaces CSE 421 and CSE 320 replaces CSE 422. Students who have completed CSE 421 can take CSE 320 in place of CSE 422. The one hour deficiency will move to the technical elective section. Students have the option of completing CSE 301: Ethics for Computing, a one-credit hour course to fulfill this deficiency and have it counted as a technical elective.

Students remaining on 2005-2006 or earlier catalog years who must complete CSE 325 in place of CSE 421 and CSE 320 in place of CSE 422 will have two hours move to the technical elective section. It is suggested that students consider updating to the 2006-2007 curriculum. Students who have questions regarding the curriculum changes are advised to contact the SCI Advising Center to make an appointment with an advisor by calling 480-965-3199.

ECE courses
Please note the changes to ECE courses for students remaining on 2005-2006 or earlier catalog years:

• ECE 400: Engineering Communications was last offered in the summer of 2006. Computer science students who did not complete ECE 400 by the summer of 2006 must complete CSE 485: CS Capstone I, CSE 493 (honors students), or CSE 461 Software Engineering Capstone (for software concentration students) instead.
• ECE 300: Intermediate Engineering Design was last offered in the summer of 2006. Computer Systems students who did not complete ECE 300 by the summer of 2006 must complete CSE 424: CSE Capstone II, CSE 493 (honors students), or any upper division Literacy course instead.
• ECE 210: Statics was last offered in Summer 2006. Computer Systems students who did not complete ECE 210 by Summer 2006 will need to take an extra three hours of technical electives in order to graduate.
• ECE 380 Probability and Statistics is now IEE 380 Probability and Statistics.
• ECE 201 Electrical Networks is now EEE 202 Circuits I.
• ECE 334 Electronic Circuits is now EEE 334 Circuits II.

Students with questions should make an appointment with an advisor by calling 480-965-3199.

Concurrent Math majors and minors

The Math department has approved for CSE majors who plan to pursue a concurrent math degree or a math minor to take either the MAT 270/271/272 or MAT 265/266/267 series to fulfill requirements. However, since MAT 265/266/267 are three credit hours versus four credit hours for the MAT 270/271/272 series, hours will need to be made up with another MAT course. Please see the math advisor for more information on how to fulfill requirements.
Grade replacement for Calculus courses

Students who have earned a “D” or “E” in MAT 270/271/272 courses will be able to replace their grade in the affected course by taking the three-credit hour math courses (MAT 294 Calculus for Engineers I, II or III in Fall 2006 or MAT 265, 266, 267). Please note that for students who have earned a “D” or “E” in either MAT 270, 271 or 272 who retake a three-credit hour math course, the one hour deficiency must be made up as a technical elective for students in the 2005-2006 and earlier catalogs. Contact the SCI Advising Center for more information.

Concurrent Degree Policy
Due to the similar requirements of the Computer Science and Computer Systems Engineering degrees in earlier catalog years, students who are pursuing one of the degrees in the 2005-2006 and earlier catalog years are no longer able to add concurrent degrees in Computer Science and Computer Systems Engineering.

Students on the 2006-2007 catalog year and later can petition the Fulton School of Engineering to add a concurrent degree in Computer Science and Computer Systems Engineering once approved to take upper division coursework.  Students will only be required to take one set of Capstone courses and CSE 423 and CSE 424 are the recommended Capstone courses.  Students who are approved for concurrent Computer Science and Computer Systems Engineering degrees can use CSE 320 and CSE 325 as CSE 400-level electives in the Computer Science degree. Students must take 12 hours of CSE Technical Electives for the Computer Systems Engineering major that are not used toward the Computer Science degree requirements of CSE 400-level electives or Technical Electives.
