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).

Starting in the 2026/27 academic year, the Electronics Engineering Minor will requires 16 credit hours as follows:

  • ENGR 120/121 - Explorations in Emerging & Future Technologies (3 cr)
    • Natural Science Elective or Scientific Perspective attribute
  • PHYS 242/243  - Circuit Analysis & Circuit Analysis Lab (4 cr)
  • ENGR 244/245 - Electronics & Electronics Lab (4 cr)
  • ENGR 254 or ENGR 354 - Microprocessors (4 cr)
    • Courses are cross-listed, but have slightly different requirements
    • Presently offered every odd year fall semester (i.e. Fall 2025, Fall 2027, etc.)
    • Natural Science Elective attribute
  • ENGR 396 Engineering Colloquium (1 cr)
    • Presently offered every odd spring semester (i.e. Spring 2027, Spring 2029, et.)
  • A 2.000 cumulative average must be attained in these courses.

Students who declare the EE minor in AY 2025 will be automatically switched to the 2026/27 catalog version.
