Double Major

Students pursuing a double major in computer and systems engineering need to complete at least 160-164 credit hours to meet the requirements of both majors. Students can choose between the two capstone course sequences CPEG 475 and CPEG 480, or STEG 475 and STEG 480; however, the selected capstone project topic must be a cross of both majors. Six course electives (18 credit hours) and two lab electives (2 credit hours) must be selected, in consultation with the academic advisor, from 200-level or higher CPEG, ELEG, STEG, ENGR, and/or CSIS courses. 
 
The electives must be chosen according to the following rules: 

  1. At least two of the course electives must be CPEG courses.
  2. At least two of the course electives must be STEG courses.
  3. A maximum of one CSIS course elective
  4. One of the lab electives must be a CPEG lab.
  5. One of the lab electives must be an STEG lab.
  6. At least four of the course electives must be 300-level or higher courses.

The course electives are restricted to the following:

CPEG Electives:
CPEG 388, 389, 422, 430, 441, 450, 455, 460, 470

Students joining the double major option after completing a Capstone Course Sequence might need to take a second Capstone Course Sequence depending on their capstone project topic. In the case where a second Capstone Course Sequence is mandated for the student by the college, four course electives (12 credit hours) and two lab electives (2 credit hours) must be selected in consultation with the academic advisor from 200-level or higher CPEG and STEG courses. 
 
The electives must be chosen according to the following rules and restricted to the lists provided above:

  1. Two of the course electives must be CPEG courses.
  2. Two of the course electives must be STEG courses.
  3. One of the lab electives must be a CPEG lab.
  4. One of the lab electives must be an STEG lab.
  5. At least two of the course electives must be 300-level or higher courses.

Applications from students required to finish less than 144 credit hours for their computer/systems 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 are financially liable for any additional credit hours beyond those required for their assigned scholarship major.
