ECE 4335 Prerequisites

  • ECE 3155 - Electronics Laboratory
  • ECE 3317 - Applied Electromagnetic Waves
  • ECE 3340 - Numerical Methods (for EE students only)
  • ECE 3355 - Electronics
  • ECE 3436 - Microprocessor Systems
  • INDE 2333 - Engineering Statistics I

Step 1: Prerequisite Check/Department Approval

Fill out the ECE 4335 Checklist. Be sure to include the Senior Year Planner showing all courses you will be taking in your senior year. Please leave the advisor signature field blank on this form.

Note: If you have not filed a Degree Plan Form and declared a concentration area (EE students), or chosen CpE electives (CpE students), you need to do that as soon as possible. Go to the ECE Undergraduate Advising Webpage and scroll down to Degree Plan Form for EE and CPE Students. Once that is complete, you should continue here.

Please make sure you are either enrolled in or have completed all the prerequisites for ECE 4335, have completed the ECE 4335 Checklist, and have indicated the courses you will be taking in senior year.

If you have completed the above, please submit your ECE 4335 Checklist through the Senior Design I Submission Portal.

step 2: Orientation and Course Requirements

Attend EH06: General Laboratory Safety Orientation. The General Laboratory Safety Orientation must be completed before the first day of class. You can view the training schedule by clicking here. To enroll, please click here. 

Additionally, students must attend ONE of the Spring 2025 Senior Design I OR Spring 2025 Senior Design II Final Project Presentations. This is MANDATORY. You must register your attendance with one of the instructors at the session. The schedule for the presentations is as follows:

Senior Design I and II Oral Presentations: 

  • Senior Design 2: Room W205, Engineering Building 2, April 30, May 5 and May 6 (6-9pm)
  • Senior Design 1: Room D102, Engineering Building 1, May 5 and May 6 (6-9pm)
  • Students are only required to attend one session. They will need to arrive and sign up the attendance sheet by 5:45pm (late sign-ups will not be accepted to avoid disruption of the presentations) and remain for the whole session.
  • Students will need to submit a report with their own evaluation of the presentations (1 page max, single space, 11 points font; 1 in margins) including name and date of the attendance to Dr. Contreras-Vidal via TEAMS).

STEP 3: SELECTING YOUR SENIOR DESIGN PROJECT

Dr. Jose Contreras-Vidal will be posting the available senior design project options for Fall 2025 soon. Students will be able to select their project preference on a first-come, first-served basis. Project teams will be comprised of 5 students. For students who have already established their team and preferred project (pre-approved by the instructor), please make sure all team members sign up one after the other to secure the project. No changes will be allowed unless approved by the instructor. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to jlcontreras-vidal [at] uh.edu (Dr. Jose Contreras-Vidal).
