- 3
- Level
- 400 upper division
- Typically offered
- Spring, even years
400-level courses: advanced capstone, senior research, and specialized seminars. Counts toward the 36 upper-division credits every bachelor's degree requires (Undergraduate Catalog §2.3). Details: Undergraduate Catalog §9.21.
Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering

EE 460 runs on a two-year rotation and isn't offered in 2026–27; it's next scheduled for Spring 2028. Department chairs make teaching assignments each year (Faculty Handbook §5.1), and every instructor posts the syllabus in Canvas by the first day of classes (Faculty Handbook §5.2).
Generative AI in this course
Every syllabus must state one of three levels: Level 1 (AI not permitted for graded work), Level 2 (AI permitted with disclosure for specified tasks), Level 3 (AI permitted broadly with disclosure). Check your section's syllabus in Canvas. Unless it says otherwise, the university default applies: generative AI tools may be used for brainstorming, studying, and feedback on your own drafts, but not to produce work you submit for a grade.
Details: Student Handbook §5.7 and Student Handbook §5.8. See what each AI level allows.
