Because of the fundamental nature of the subject of electromagnetics (EM) for electrical engineering as well as for computer engineering, a course on it is required in both programs. For the electrical engineering program, the core curriculum focuses on fundamental electrical engineering knowledge: circuits, systems, electromagnetics, solid state electronics, computer engineering, and design.

A rich set of elective courses permits students to select from collections of courses in seven areas of electrical and computer engineering: bioengineering, acoustics, and magnetic resonance engineering; circuits and signal processing; communication and control; computer engineering; electromagnetics, optics, and remote sensing; microelectronics and quantum electronics; power and energy systems. For the computer engineering program, the core curriculum focuses on fundamental computer engineering knowledge: circuits, systems, electromagnetics, computer engineering, solid state electronics, and computer science. A rich set of elective courses permits students to concentrate in any subdiscipline of computer engineering including computer systems; electronic circuits; networks; engineering applications; software, languages, and theory; and algorithms and mathematical tools.

In 1973, the Computer Engineering curriculum (CompE) was introduced, and the total number of credit-hours were decreased to 124 credit-hours (now 128 credit-hours) for both curricula. Only one course in electromagnetics, the first of the above three-course sequence, was required in both curricula, with the remaining courses moved to elective status. Soon, this was found to be unsuitable, because the course was based on the inductive approach, that is, an approach consisting of developing general principles from particular facts, which in this case was developing complete set of Maxwell's equations beginning with the particular laws of static fields.
