Requests to deviate from a major requirement using a course that is not automatically allowed or required or requests for ECE course equivalencies for courses taken at other US 4 year universities or study abroad must be approved by a petition process. Transfer students who complete a Circuits or C programming course at a community college or 2 year institution must take the ECE 15 or 35 Waiver exam to get credit.
The waiver exams are designed for incoming students who have taken a C programming or circuits course at a community college and wish to receive transfer credit for UC San Diego ECE 15 or ECE 35. The purpose of these exams is to test a student's understanding of the material in these courses.

Students should submit a petition to the ECE Department prior to taking a course in another university.
Keep in mind that courses must be taken for a letter grade and passed with a C- or better.
All courses used to satisfy major requirements must be taken for a letter grade with the exception of Special Studies courses (ECE 197-199). Special Studies courses (197-199) are designed to be P/NP.

UC San Diego Professor Henry G. Booker was a superb teacher and insightful researcher: He taught us electromagnetics, radio propagation, and antennas, among other things. He could present an argument in class with apparent simplicity; lulling the students into thinking they had grasped it all. The rude awakening to the complications came when the students on their own tried to reconstruct the argument. It took hours of work. It’s the important part of the interaction between teacher and student and it's known as learning.
The ECE Undergraduate Honors Program is designed for a limited number of students who have demonstrated excellence in the major. The Honors Program recognizes and promotes academic excellence in the major by allowing qualified students to work on a project in close collaboration with the department faculty.
Application for ECE Honors Program is required and DUE the second week of Fall quarter of their senior year.
The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department traces its roots back to the establishment of the Applied Electrophysics department in 1965, under its founding chair Henry Booker. Through a succession of department realignments emerged today’s ECE in 1987, when the then-combined Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department was split into two departments. Since then, ECE has earned a world-class reputation for producing top-notch engineers for industry and academia.
