Electronics Engineering Minor

The Minor in Electronics Engineering aims at teaching students the fundamentals of electronics engineering and introducing them to the exciting applications of modern electronics. The minor is designed to provide students a foundation to explore specialized topics in electronics engineering such as Electrical Circuit Analysis, Semi-conductor Electronics, Digital Logic Circuits, Microprocessors, Communication Theory, and Control Systems.   Students will also have an opportunity to be involved in one of the ongoing projects at Xavier Wearable Electronics Research Center (XWERC).

The Electronics Engineering Minor requires 21 credit hours as follows:

  • 4 credit hours of math pre-requisites:
    • MATH 170 - Calculus I
  • 14 credit hours of introductory physics and engineering courses: 
    • PHYS 170 - University Physics I
    • ENGR 173 - Explorations in Engineering
    • ENGR 180 - Introduction to MATLAB
    • ENGR 244 - Electronics
    • ENGR 245 - Electronics Lab
