Advanced Physics Electives and Concentrations
Choose either the Advanced Electives in Physics or one of the two concentrations. Students selecting one of the concentrations will not be allowed to enroll in EE 301 until they have a) completed PHYS 357 and MATH 318, and b) received the approval of advisors in both Physics and Electrical Engineering. See the 2005-2007 Cal Poly Catalog for a list of the electives and the concentration courses.
