Master Plan

The master plan provides an advising record for computer engineering majors and should be initiated by the student with their faculty adviser during the first semester of the junior year. All students must have a master plan on file in the department prior to enrollment in E E 410 . Changes to the master plan are permitted with the approval of the faculty adviser and the department chair.
