School of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Projected Schedule of Undergraduate Courses

The following table lists the ECE undergraduate courses currently projected to be offered at the Atlanta campus and through the
video/internet distance education program. Classes taught at GT-Lorraine, GT-Shanghai, or as part of study abroad programs are
not listed.
The projected schedule of classes is normally updated each year during spring semester. The projected schedule for the coming
year (2014-15) is fairly certain; changes will be reflected in the registration schedule for each term. The projected schedule for 201516 is preliminary and is likely to be significantly modified in spring 2015.
Additionally, summer schedules are subject to changes in student enrollment, budgets, and/or faculty availability. Based on
previous years' schedules, the School is likely to offer most core courses, along with 3 - 4 senior electives. Note that the required
culminating design course, ECE 4012, is not offered in summer terms.
X = course scheduled to be offered
? = course may be offered in this term, based on prior years' schedules
ST = special topic course (offered as ECE 38xx or ECE 48xx)
video = course offered via video/internet in addition to on-campus section
altvid = course normally offered via video/internet in alternate years; not offered via video/internet this year
