Changes to Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering AS degrees (402 and 409)

The following is an update on recent changes to the Electrical Engineering AS degree (402) and Computer Engineering AS degree (409).  These have been introduced in order to stay up to date with changes that have been made to the corresponding degree requirements at the University of Maryland, College Park.  A new course, ENEE 290, has been added to the curriculum.  It will be offered for the first time in Fall, 2025 and it will become a prerequisite for ENEE 222 starting in Spring, 2026.

For Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering majors at MC, as well as General Engineering majors who plan to take ENEE 222:

1.                  Students who have passed MATH 282 by the end of Summer, 2025 should complete MC's EE and CE degrees under the old curriculum (2024-2025).   

1.                  ENEE 290 will not be required, but ENEE 222 should be completed by the end of Fall, 2025. 

1.                  If students fall into this category, they must contact the ENEE program advisors at the following email addresses (Palmyra.Catravas@montgomerycollege.edu and Lan.Xiang@montgomerycollege.edu) to discuss your schedule and request a prerequisite override if needed for ENEE 222 in Fall, 2025.

2.                  Students who have not passed MATH 282 yet should complete the new curriculum (starts with 2025-2026).

1.                  sign up for ENEE 290 in lieu of MATH 282

2.                  sign up for ENEE 222 only after completing ENEE 290.

 

The MC website has been updated with the new curriculum at the following links:

·                     Engineering Science AS Degree, Electrical Engineering Area of Concentration | Montgomery College, Maryland

·                     Engineering Science AS Degree, Computer Engineering Area of Concentration | Montgomery College, Maryland

 

Note that starting in Spring, 2026, the content of ENEE 222 will be different since ENEE 290 will be a prerequisite.  It is important that the ENEE program advisors connect with advisees and have a chance to double check schedules.  We are asking if Counseling and Advising could please send us the names/M#'s of students who come for advising in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or General Engineering taking any ENEE courses so that we can help with the curricular transition.  Please sent the list to Palmyra.Catravas@montgomerycollege.edu and Lan.Xiang @montgomerycollege.edu

 

It would be a pleasure for us (Lan and me) to collaborate with Counseling and Advising during this transition as we work through the ENEE program advising from our end.
