2. Two of the course electives must be ELEG courses.

3. One of the lab electives must be a CPEG lab.

4. One of the lab electives must be an ELEG lab.

Applications from students required to finish less than 144 credit hours for their electrical/computer engineering degree (catalogs prior to AY 2014-15) to join the double major option or to have a second-degree (both AUK and non-AUK graduates) will be considered on a case-by-case basis and might be subject to additional requirements.

IMPORTANT:

Scholarship students may not seek a double major unless the required credits for the second major fall within their scholarship major’s (first major) limited credit hours, e.g., total of 124 (most programs) or 144 (CPEG/ELEG/STEG) required credit hours. Students are financially liable for any additional credit hours beyond those required for their first major.

• The student is limited to a maximum of 6 credits hours of internship. A maximum of 3 credit hours (taken in increments of 1, 2 or 3 credits) may be applied to the major electives. An additional 3 credit hours of internship may be counted towards a second major, minor or as free electives.
   

• For the durations of the semester—16 weeks, students should work at least 2.5 hours per week (for 1 credit); 7.5 hours per week (for 3 credits); 10 hours per week (for 4 credits); and 15 hours per week (for 6 credits). A minimum of 120 hours is required for 3 credits, 80 hours for 2 credits, and 40 hours for 1 credit. For the Summer semester, a minimum of 25 hours per week is required (6 weeks).
   

• The college sets the standards for the internship and reserves the right to decide on the suitability of the work experience.
   

• The college may assist students to find suitable employment.
   

• Students are encouraged to find their own placements. However, the college must be advised before a student approaches a prospective organization.
   

• The 470 instructors will visit the place of work where the student will be working to determine if the environment is suitable and that the nature of the work and place of work are in synergy.
   

• Contact will be established between the 470 instructors and on-site supervisor to ensure that if any problems arise during the internship, there is a clear understanding of the roles each party will play to ensure that the student has a quality learning experience.
   

• A placement is not secured until it has been approved by the college, and the student has signed and returned the Student Internship Agreement.
   

• Students are required to meet with the 470 instructor at least once a week to report on progress and activity.
   

• Any student who is dismissed from his/her internship must notify the college immediately. Failure to do so within a reasonable amount of time will result in a failing grade.
