Introduction to the ECE Department Cal Poly Pomona’s ECE Department is one of
the largest in the United States.
The Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredits our Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering degrees.
There are about 1,100 undergraduate and 100 active graduate students in our department.
14
Introduction to the ECE Department
In our department we have: 18 full-time faculty 17 part-time faculty 5 staff
The University’s motto is “Learn by doing.” To meet this goal we have 20 laboratory rooms in our department. Two of our computer labs provide open access time where students may access department related software.
We offer relatively small class sizes and most lectures have accompanying lab classes for hands on instruction.
15
Introduction to the ECE Department
All laboratory courses are taught by professors.
We offer year-round operation ( 3 quarters + summer quarter subject to budget), with most required major courses taught every quarter.
It is mandatory for our students to see their academic advisor during the winter quarter for annual advising.
16
Introduction to the ECE Department
Our B.S. in Electrical Engineering provides undergraduate students with a strong core and an opportunity for specialization at the junior and senior levels by choosing from one of many areas of specialization.
We offer courses in the following areas:
Microelectronics Communications and Digital Signal Processing Control and Robotics Instrumentation and Biomedical Engineering Power Systems Illumination Engineering Radio Frequency Engineering Digital Systems
17
Introduction to ECE Department
Our B.S. in Computer Engineering educates undergraduate students in the fundamental principles of electrical engineering and design of computer hardware and software.
We offer courses in the following areas:
Programming including Object Oriented Programming Languages, such as C++ , MATLAB and Java
Digital Signal Processing Computer Architecture Computer Networking FPGA Design using Verilog HDL Operating Systems Software Engineering Digital Electronics

Mathematics and English Placement Tests
English Placement Test (EPT)
Entry Level Mathematics Exam (ELM)
Unless exempt you need to take one or both of these tests. Take them as soon as possible if you plan on enrolling in Mathematics and/or English in the fall quarter.
23
English Placement Test (EPT) Goal: English 104 or English 102
EPT Score Course Placement
151+ English 104
147-150 English 104 & 002
142-146 English 96
<142 English 95
English as a Second Language
147+ English 102
130-146 English 99
<130 English 98
24
Exemptions to the EPT
A score of 550 or above on the verbal section of the College Board SAT I: Reasoning Test.
A score of 680 or above on the College Board SAT II: Writing Test
A score of 24 or above on the Enhanced ACT English Test.
A score of 3, 4 or 5 on either the Language and Composition or the Literature and Composition Examination of the College Board
Advance Placement Program (AP Credit).
Transfer students who have completed a CSU college course that satisfies the English Composition a requirement with a C or better based upon the requirements from the college they are currently
attending.
25
Entry-Level Mathematics (ELM)
The CSU Entry-Level Mathematics examination must be taken and scores received by all nonexempt undergraduates prior to enrollment in any mathematics course.
Exemptions: A score of 550 or above on the mathematics section of either the
College Board SAT or SAT 1: Reasoning Test A score of 550 or above on Level I, 1C, II or IIC of either the
College Board Mathematics Achievement test of SAT II: Mathematics Test.
A score of 23 or above on the ACT Mathematics Test. A score of 3 or above on the College Board Advanced Placement
Mathematics Examination (Calculus AB or BC or Statistics Examination (AP Credit)
Exception from the ELM Test DOES NOT exempt you from taking the MDPT!
26
Mathematics Diagnostic Placement Test (MDPT)
If you are exempt from the ELM, then you are required to take the MDPT unless you meet one of the following conditions:
Met the prerequisites for MAT 114 or higher within two quarters of entering Cal Poly Pomona
OR
Are a first-time freshman who scored 3 or higher on the College Board Advanced Placement (AP) Examination Credit test in either Calculus AB or BC.
Sign up for the MDPT (watch for an email telling you how, or contact the Math Dept.).
MAT 114 or above is your goal!
27
MDPT Preparation
Prepare for the MDPT. Do not take it cold!
A poor score on the MDPT will set you back several quarters.
28
Student Orientation Services (SOS)
ATTEND THE UNIVERSITY’S MANDATORY STUDENT ORIENTATION THIS SUMMER!
You will receive your MDPT scores and academic advising and priority registration for your fall classes!
29
How do I do well in the Electrical & Computer Engineering Department?
Study Hard!
Two to three hours of study for each class hour.
Pace yourself
Take no more than 12 units your first quarter.
Take no more than 16 units per quarter if you do not work/ take fewer units if you work.
Take one or two courses in the summer quarter.
Continue to work hard.
