Pathway-Specific Information

  • Starting your math sequence higher than MAT 1033C will save time, money, and elective space;

    prepare and test for math level placement

  • Higher level mathematics may be substituted for MTB 1329, contact your Student Success Coach.
  • This program is based on West Campus, most technical courses are taught only on that
  • This degree does not articulate into UCF’s S. Engineering degree, an Associates in Arts Degree [A.A.] is required for transfer.

Program Electives

The Electives requirement may be satisfied with any course(s) offered in the A.S. Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology degree, not already used to satisfy program requirements.
