For electrical engineers. A problem, approved by the chairperson of the department, provides an objective for study and research. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.
A detailed investigation of a topic of current significance in electrical engineering such as biomedical instrumentation, digital filter design, active networks, advanced electrical devices, digital communications, display of electronics. May be repeated, but only three credits can be earned under the same title. Only nine credit hours may count toward degree requirements. A particular topic may be offered at most twice under the EE 599 number.
