FAQs for ECE Students
Undergraduate Academics
Please visit the ECE Change of Major webpage, https://www.ece.ufl.edu/admissions/undergraduate/change-major/
The ECE Department will not change majors during the first week of school (drop/add period) due to the high volume of advising our current advisees. If you are interested in changing to our major, please see us during the middle of the semester.
All Electrical and Computer Engineering majors should check their individual Advising Corner on their Canvas page.
The electrical engineering majors canvas page is Electrical Engineering Advising Corner. The undergraduate EE advisor(Nicole) will post all announcements and updates on the EE Undergraduate Announcements
The undergraduate CpE advisor(Chip) will post all announcements and updates on the ECE Advising Canvas page. More details about the CpE program can be found on the CpE website.
All course offerings are available on https://one.uf.edu/soc/.

Transfer Admissions
Electrical Engineering: minimum of six semesters, due to the course rigor and load. It is not possible to complete the required courses in four semesters
Computer Engineering:: minimum of six semesters, due to the course rigor and load. It is not possible to complete the required courses in four semesters
Yes, all engineering transfer students are required to complete ENC3246 to earn their bachelor’s degree. It is the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering policy.
All UF programs are mandated by state regulation and UF policy to give top transfer priority to students earning their 2-year AA degree at FL’s public state colleges, vs. those applying from other universities. That means that having already attended any other 4-year school puts you at a serious disadvantage as a transfer applicant. If a program has any extra transfer slots after admitting competitive students from FL’s public 2-year schools, then they may consider other applicants.
For the Electrical Engineering major: EE Critical Tracking Courses
- MAC2311 Analytical Geometry & Calculus 1
- MAC2312 Analytical Geometry & Calculus 2
- MAC2313 Analytical Geometry & Calculus 3
- MAP2302 Differential Equations
- PHY2048 + lab Physics with Calculus 1
- PHY2049 + lab Physics with Calculus 2
- CHM2045 + lab General Chemistry 1
For the Computer Engineering major: CpE Critical Tracking Courses
- MAC2311 Analytical Geometry & Calculus 1
- MAC2312 Analytical Geometry & Calculus 2
- MAC2313 Analytical Geometry & Calculus 3
- MAP2302 Differential Equations
- PHY2048 + lab Physics with Calculus 1
- PHY2049 + lab Physics with Calculus 2
- CHM2045 + lab General Chemistry 1
