First-Year Exploration
Currently enrolled Harvard College students are encouraged to explore their potential interests in Electrical Engineering by meeting with with Chris Lombardo (Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering).
The sample schedules below show a typical path through the first two-years for a preconcentrator interested in EE. These sample schedules are provided as a guiding example, and students may decide on an alternate path. We strongly recommend that students interested in any of the engineering areas begin taking mathematics in their first semester and plan to complete their math, chemistry, and physics requirements within the first two years. Leading up to a declaration of the Electrical Engineering during the sophomore year, students will work with concentration advisers to construct an individual degree program that matches their specific interests within EE while simultaneously fulfilling all of the concentration requirements.
First-Year Fall Foundational Math CS 50
|
First-Year Spring Foundational Math Physics ES 50 |
Sophomore Fall Foundational Math (if needed) Physics ES 155 or ES 152 |
Sophomore Spring Foundational Math (if needed) CS 1410 ES 156 |
Tips for EE students:
- First-year students who place out of Math 1b can take ES 155 in their first fall semester
- Strongly recommended to start physics in first year to be able to take ES152 (co-req Physics b) in sophomore year
- Strongly recommended to take ES 50 in the spring of the first year.
