To qualify as a general elective, a graduate course must be either an ECE course, a non-ECE College of Engineering course, or a College of Arts &amp; Sciences course in ECE-related scientific\/technical areas such as some courses in physics, mathematics, and computer science upon MS Committee&#8217;s approval.
