Fundamental Difference Between the Two Majors:

• Electrical Engineering: Focuses on designing and analyzing electrical and electronic systems, requiring simulation to develop models and analyze performance.
• Electrical Engineering and Physics: Concentrates on physical materials and the application of physical laws in electrical systems, relying more on real-world understanding rather than just devices.

Courses Removed from the Electrical Engineering Program

• EE 380 (Control Engineering)
• EE 360 (Electric Energy Engineering) or EE 370 (Communications Engineering)
  *Only one can be chosen, and the other is removed.
• EE 271 (Lab)
• EE xxxx (Lab)

Courses Added from the Physics Department

• Phys 204-205 (General Physics 3 with a lab)
• Phys 300 (Classical Mechanics)
• Phys 310 (Quantum Mechanics)
• Phys 430 (Thermal and Statistical Physics)
  

The Electrical Engineering major emphasizes practical and technical applications, while the Electrical Engineering with Physics major integrates a deeper understanding of physical principles with engineering applications, potentially opening broader fields for research and development in fundamental sciences.
