PPCC Electrical Engineering Transfer Guide 2012-2013
Below is the four-year sample program for Electrical Engineering students at UCCS. Courses in bold with an asterisk (*) can be taken at PPCC either prior to coming to UCCS or concurrently at both campuses. To graduate within 4 years, a student would have to be concurrently enrolled for the duration of the degree program. To assure ease of transfer it is recommended that you contact the UCCS Engineering Advisor (719-
255-3427) before each semester.
A more structured Engineering Concurrent program also is available to students who meet the admission requirements. Check out the transfer website for more information: www.uccs.edu/transfer .

Science Requirements for BS in EE degree
Students must choose 5 credit hours ( ch ):
CHEM 1030-5 ch (CHE111 @ PPCC)
CHEM 1060-5 ch (CHE112 @ PPCC)
BIOL 1200-3/1 ch (BIO112 @ PPCC)
BIOL 1210-3/1 ch (BIO111 @ PPCC)
GEOL 1010-4 ch (GEY111 @ PPCC)
GEOL 1020-4 ch (GEY121 @ PPCC)
Any Physics (PES) course that has a prerequisite of PES1110
Note: PPCC students receive 2 hours of credit for PES 1150/2150 when they transfer PHY 211/212 in addition to credit for PES 1110/1120, so they need only complete 3 more hours of Science.

Social Sciences/Humanities Requirements for Electrical Engineering degree
Computer Engineering students at UCCS are required to take 15 credits of social sciences and humanities so that they can be more aware of their social responsibilities and better able to consider related factors in the decision making process. To ensure this, a minimum of 9 hours in social sciences and 6 hours in humanities, or vice versa, must be taken; at least 6 of these hours must be beyond the introductory level (2000 level or higher course). Breakouts by areas are as follows:
- Social Science Departments: Anthropology, Communications, Economics, Geography and Environmental
Studies, Gerontology, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology and Women's Studies.
- Humanities Departments: Art History, Ethnic Studies, English (1500 or higher classes), History, Humanities,
Music (except choir or lessons) and Philosophy.
Note: PPCC students should look closely at the PPCC to UCCS transfer course listing to ensure that they will meet the appropriate department distribution and the 2000+ level requirement.
