Title:
Credit hours:	EE 380

2.	Current prerequisites:	EE 285	
			
3.	Proposed prerequisites:	EE 180, EE 210, and CS 239 	
		
4.	Rationale for the revision of course prerequisites:  EE 285 is no longer a required course.  Students entering EE380 need to knowledge in the areas of digital circuits (EE 180), analog circuits (EE 210) and programming skills (CS 239).  Note that the previous prerequisites, EE 285, required a CS courses, EE 210 and EE 180. 	
		
5.	Effect on completion of major/minor sequence:  none

1.3	Course prefix (subject area) and number:
Title:

Credit hours:	EE 473 
Introduction to Electromagnetic Fields and Waves 
3.0	
			
2.	Current corequisites: 
Current prerequisites:	None
MATH 350, MATH 327 and PHYS 260/261	
			
3.	Proposed corequisites:
Proposed prerequisites:	MATH 350
MATH 327 and PHYS 265 	
		
4.	Rationale for the revision of course corequisites/prerequisites:  The sequence of calculus-based physics (PHYS 250/251, 260/261, 270/271) was replaced by a 10-hour, two-semester sequence (PHYS 255/256, 265/266).  The EE program requires the new physics sequence.  
It is acceptable for students to be taking MATH 350 as a corequisite.
