Advanced Concentration Elective (ACE) courses are upper-level ECEN courses offered through the Electrical, Computer & Energy Engineering Department that are not already core courses incorporated into the EE or ECE curriculum. These courses are intellectually rigorous and are meant to provide students the opportunity to explore a particular concentration area in more detail.
Courses that qualify as ACE
Exclusions (these courses are restricted from counting as ACE credits)
- A class can be applied only once in the student’s major. For example, if a class is approved to count as an Advanced Analog Core course and an ACE course, it can count toward only one requirement, not both.
- ECEN 3840/4840 Independent Study courses qualify as Technical Elective credits, not ACE credits. Students should rely on the list below to gain knowledge on key subject matter within the realm of electrical and computer engineering.
