Electrical and Computer Engineering

1. Major Declaration
JI offers programs in Mechanical Engineering (ME) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). Although students are asked to declare one of the two programs as their major when they apply for JI, they may choose to switch majors in the future. Irrespective of the intended major, all undergraduate students take the same core courses in the first two semesters. Students are required to declare majors in the Spring semester of their sophomore year. To be qualified for declaring a major, students must have completed the first year level Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Introduction to Engineering and Introduction to Computer & Programming with satisfactory grades and a cumulated GPA specified by individual programs.

2. Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)
The rapidly converging world needs more professionals with profound knowledge of electrical engineering, computer engineering, and computer science. The Electrical and Computer Engineering program at UM-SJTU Joint Institute is an interdisciplinary program. It is supported by the EECS Department of UM and EIEE School of SJTU.

3. Requirement of Major Declaration
The ECE program follows the rules of Joint Institute for major declaration. Students enrolled at the UM-SJTU JI who want to declare Electrical and Computer Engineering as their major must have completed the following courses with satisfactory grades:
 
Math:          Applied Series: Vv156, Vv255, and Vv256 or
               Honor Series: Vv186, Vv285, and Vv286
Chemistry:     Vc210/211
Physics:       Vp140/141 and Vp240/241 or
               Equivalent Honor Series Vp160/141 and Vp260/241
Engr. Basics:  Vg100, Vg101
 
NOTES: No decision will be made until the student has completed at least one full term at the JI. Due to resource constraints, the JI may limit the number of students accepted into the ECE major.
