elcome to the College of Engineering at UC Santa Barbara. There
are many reasons we are one of the top engineering schools in
the nation. We bring together an amazing faculty, the members
of which are highly acclaimed in the scientic communities in which they
work. UCSB professors are, in fact, among the most cited by their colleagues
worldwide, a testament to the quality and creativity of their research. A high
percentage of the faculty has been elected to the prestigious National Acad-
emy of Sciences and National Academy of Engineering. We have six Nobel
Prize winners on this campus, ve of whom are faculty in engineering and the
sciences. We’re also home to an amazing group of smart, accomplished, high-
energy students. These more than 1,600 undergraduates, pursuing a variety
of interests, contribute greatly to the quality of the learning environment as
well as to the overall richness of campus life.
We have crafted courses that balance theory and applied science so our stu-
dents are well prepared for successful careers in academia and in industry.
Students especially interested in engineering and industry can take advantage
of courses offered in Technology Management. Through coursework and “real
world” experiences, the program gives our students insight into the world of technology from a business perspective.
We want our students to understand what transforms a good technical idea into a good business idea. We want to
give them a head start at attaining leadership positions in the technology business sector.
With a thriving interdisciplinary environment, our campus culture fosters creativity and discovery. A truly interdisciplin-
ary culture allows all sorts of ideas to cross-fertilize and makes it easy for faculty to work effectively between disci-
plines to tackle big questions. Visiting scholars tell us they don’t often see the kind of openness among departments
and ease of collaboration that they nd here.
As part of the prestigious and well-established University of California system, we have the resources as well as the
breadth and depth of talent to pursue new elds of scientic inquiry. We also bring an entrepreneurial attitude to our
research, focusing on applications as much as discovery.
Our leading programs in areas as diverse as biotechnology, communications, computer security, materials, nanotech-
nology, networking, and photonic devices attest to the success of this approach.
At the core of this activity are our students, our central purpose. We encourage you to pursue every opportunity, both
inside and outside the classroom, to enhance your education. We have a talented and wise faculty and staff, equipped
with extensive knowledge and diverse experience, to help you make decisions about courses and other activities as
you pursue your degree. We look forward to having you in our classes, laboratories, and ofces as you discover where
your interests lead you.

College of Engineerin
g
T
he College of Engineering at UCSB
is noted for its excellence in teach-
ing, research, and service to the
community. The college has an enroll-
ment of approximately 1,600 undergradu-
ate students and 750 graduate students
with a full-time, permanent faculty of 129.
This results in an excellent student to
faculty ratio and a strong sense of com-
munity in the college.
Our modern laboratory facilities are
available to undergraduate as well as
graduate students. UCSB has an unusually
high proportion of undergraduates who
are actively involved in faculty-directed
research and independent study projects.
The college offers the bachelor of sci-
ence degree in ve disciplines: chemical
engineering, computer engineering, com-
puter science, electrical engineering, and
mechanical engineering. The undergradu-
ate programs in chemical, computer,
electrical, and mechanical engineering
are accredited by the Engineering Ac-
creditation Commission of ABET, http://
www.abet.org.
The curriculum for the bachelor of sci-
ence degree is designed to be completed
in four years. Completion of the four-year
program provides students with the back-
ground to begin professional careers or
to enter graduate programs in engineer-
ing or computer science, or professional
schools of business, medicine, or law. Our
curricula are specically planned to retain
both of these options and to assure that
our graduates are equally well prepared
to enter industry and graduate study.
The college and the university offer a
wide variety of career counseling and job
placement services.
The Ofce of Undergraduate Studies in
Harold Frank Hall, Room 1006, provides
academic advising for all undergradu-
ates in the college. Faculty and academic
advisors for the individual majors are also
provided by the respective departments.
This publication contains detailed infor-
mation about the various programs and
schedules and is published yearly. It is
available on the web at: https://engineer-
ing.ucsb.edu/gear.

gram will be encouraged to participate in
early experiences in scholarship through
special seminars and, in later years, as
members of research teams.
Participation in the Honors Program
offers housing in Scholar’s Halls located
in several university-owned residence hall
to eligible rst-year students, as well as
graduate student library privileges to all
students in the program. Special lectures
and tours may be offered throughout the
academic year.
The College of Engineering invites
approximately the top 10% of incoming
freshmen into the Honors Program based
on a comprehensive application review.
(Please note: eligibility criteria are subject
to change at any time.) Select transfer stu-
dents will be invited to join the Program
upon admission. Students who do not en-
ter the College of Engineering with hon-
ors at the time of admission to UCSB may
apply to join the program between rst
and second year after completing at least
36 letter-graded units with a cumulative
GPA of 3.5 or higher, or between second
and third year after completing at least 72
letter-graded units with a cumulative GPA
of 3.5 or higher. Students may not join
the Honors Program the summer between
their junior and senior curriculum year.
Continued participation in the Col-
lege Honors Program is dependent on
maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or
greater and active participation in both
the academic and community service
components of the Program.
To graduate as an Honors Program
Scholar, students must complete 6.0 total
Honors units during their junior and se-
nior years; comprised of coursework from
departmental 196, 197, 198, 199 courses,
graduate level courses (numbered 200-
299), or completing courses toward their
engineering major through the UC Educa-
tion Abroad Program with grades of B or
higher. Students must also complete a
total of 10 hours of community service for
each year they are program members and
maintain a 3.5 or higher cumulative GPA
at the end of each spring quarter.
Notes: Capstone participation/courses
do not apply to honors credit, nor do
graduate courses taken to satisfy re-
quirements for a graduate degree. Paid
research positions cannot apply.
Dean’s Honors
The College of Engineering gives public
recognition to its outstanding undergrad-
uate students by awarding Dean’s Honors
at the end of each regular academic
term to students who have earned a 3.75
grade-point average for the quarter and
have completed a program of 12 or more
letter-graded units. Grades of Not Passed
automatically disqualify students for
eligibility for Dean’s Honors.The award is

Change of Major and
Change of College
Current UCSB students in a non-engi-
neering major, as well as students wishing
to change from one engineering major to
another, are welcome to apply after the
satisfactory completion of a pre-dened
set of coursework. However, due to the
current demand for engineering majors,
students are cautioned that it is a very
competitive process and not all applicants
will be able to change their majors due to
limited space availability. It is incumbent
upon students to continue to make prog-
ress in a backup major while pursuing a
new major in the College of Engineering,
and to periodically consult academic advi-
sors in both the desired major as well as
the backup major regarding the viability
of pursuing the change of major.
Students who enter UCSB as transfer
students will not be able to change to or
add an engineering major, if not initially
accepted into one. Students who be-
gan as freshmen who plan to enter an
engineering major or to change from
one engineering major to another will be
expected to complete at least 30 units at
UCSB before petitioning for a change of
major and usually must satisfy the prereq-
uisites of the prospective major.
The College of Engineering will not
accept students from the College of
Creative Studies or the College of Letters
and Science after they have completed
105 units, regardless of their expected
unit total at graduation. Students must be
at or below 105 units at the time required
change of major courses are completed.
Notwithstanding any of the major-
specic requirements described below,
we caution that the capacity of any given
program to accept new students changes,
sometimes substantially, from year to
year.
Chemical Engineering. Admission to
the Chemical Engineering major is deter-
mined by a number of factors, including
each student’s academic performance
and trajectory, as well as current enroll-
ments in Chemical Engineering classes.
Freshman should apply during the spring
term of their freshman year, and may
reapply during their sophomore year.
Sophomores may only apply one time
during the spring term of their sopho-
more year. Applicants must have a 3.0
GPA or above, and satisfactorily complete
the following courses or their equivalents:
Math 3A, 3B, 4A; Chem 1A-1AL or 2A-
2AC, 1B-1BL or 2B-2BC, and 1C-1CL or
2C-2CC. Recommended courses include:
ENGR 3; Physics 1-2; ChE 5, 10, 110AB
(110AB may be taken concurrently at time
of application).
Computer Engineering. Students may
petition to enter the Computer Engineer-
ing major at any time both of the follow-
ing requirements are met:
1. An overall UCSB grade point average
of at least 3.0.
2. Satisfactory completion at UCSB, with
a grade point average of 3.0 or better,
of any ve classes, including at least
two Electrical & Computer Engineer-
ing (ECE) classes and two Computer
Science (CMPSC) classes, from the
following: Math 4B, ECE 10A/10AL,
10B/10BL, 10C/10CL (ECE 10A/10AL,
10B/10BL, 10C/10CL each count as
one course), ECE 15A, CMPSC 16, 24,
32, 40.
Acceptance into the major will be based
on UC grade point averages, applicable
courses completed, and space availability.
All students considering changing into
Computer Engineering are required to
meet with the ECE Academic Advisor dur-
ing their rst year.
Computer Science. The application
process is extremely competitive. A very
limited number of change of major ap-
plications to Computer Science will be
approved. Students may apply for con-
sideration to the Computer Science major
when the following requirements are
met. No exceptions are made for these
6 • COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
requirements and meeting these require-
ments does not guarantee admission to
the Computer Science major:
1. A cumulative overall grade point aver-
age of at least 3.0;
2. Satisfactory completion of Computer
Science 16, 24, and 40 with a cumula-
tive GPA of 3.2 or higher; First takes
only;
3. Satisfactory completion of Math 3A, 3B,
4A, and 4B with a cumulative GPA of
3.0 or higher; First takes only.
Denied change of major applications will
not be reconsidered. More information
can be found at https://cs.ucsb.edu/edu-
cation/undergrad/admissions. No excep-
tions are made for these requirements.
Electrical Engineering. Students may
petition to enter the Electrical Engineer-
ing major once both of the following
requirements are met:
1. An overall UCSB grade point average of
at least 3.0.
2. Satisfactory completion at UCSB, with a
grade point average of 3.0 or better, of
at least ve classes, including at least two
mathematics classes, from the follow-
ing: Math 4B, Math 6A, Math 6B, ECE
10A/10AL, 10B/10BL, 10C/10CL (ECE
10A/10AL, 10B/10BL, 10C/10CL each
count as one course), ECE 15A. The calcu-
lation of the minimum GPA will be based
on all classes completed from this list at
the time of petitioning.
Acceptance into the major will be based
on UC grade point averages, applicable
courses completed, and space availability.
All students considering changing into
meet with the ECE Academic Advisor dur-
ing their rst year.
Mechanical Engineering. Admission by
change of major into Mechanical Engi-
neering is both limited and competitive.
Petitions are required once students have
been admitted through the change of
major process. Mechanical Engineering
requires a minimum of eight core courses
from the following list: Math 3A-B; Math
4A-B; Math 6A-B; Physics 1, 2, 3/3L;
ENGR 3; Chemistry 1A-1B; ME 10; ME 14,
15, 17 (three of the eight courses must
include PHYS 3/3L, ME 14, and ME 17).
Acceptance into the major is based on UC
grade point average, applicable courses
completed, and space availability. Starting
for freshmen fall 2021, ME will be allowing
CSU and CCC grades to be included in
the minimum six courses that are calcu-
lated for a prep GPA (these grades are not
calculated into your ofcial UCSB GPA).
These grades must be submitted ofcially
and be reected in GOLD. Students are
able to repeat courses as long as they fol-
low the university guidelines for repeating
courses. All students considering chang-
ing into Mechanical Engineering must no-
tify the ME Academic Advisor and report
all core course grades after each quarter
to update preparatory GPA calculation. It
is highly recommended to follow the ME
program as closely as possible to best
be prepared to switch into ME; all while
keeping a backup major in mind in the
likely chance the department is not able
to accommodate your request to change
into ME.
Degree Requirements
To be eligible for a bachelor of science
degree from the College of Engineering,
students must meet three sets of require-
ments: general university requirements,
college general education requirements,
and major degree requirements.
General University Requirements
All undergraduate students must satisfy
university academic residency, UC Entry
Level Writing Requirement, American His-
tory and Institutions, unit, and scholarship
requirements. These requirements are
described fully on page 11.
College General Education Require-
ments
All students must satisfy the general
education requirements for the College
of Engineering. These requirements are
described on page 11.
Major Degree Requirements
Preparation for the major and major
requirements for each program must be
satised, including unit and GPA require-
ments. These appear in subsequent sec-
tions of this publication.
Advanced Placement Credit
Students who complete special ad-
vanced placement courses in high school
and who earn scores of 3, 4, or 5 on the
College Board Advanced Placement taken
before high school graduation will receive
2, 4, or 8 units of credit toward graduation
at UCSB for each such test completed
with the required scores, provided scores
are reported to the Ofce of Admissions.
The specic unit values assigned to each
test, course equivalents, and the appli-
cability of these credits to the General
Education requirements are presented in
the chart on page 8.
International Baccalaureate Credit
Students who earn scores of 5, 6, or 7 on In-
ternational Baccalaureate (IB) Higher Level (HL)
Examinations taken before high school gradua-
tion will receive 8 units of credit toward gradua-
tion at UCSB for each such test completed with
the required scores, provided ofcial scores
are submitted to the Ofce of Admissions.
Students who complete the IB diploma with a
score of 30 or above will receive 6 quarter units
in addition to the units earned for individual
Higher Level exams.
Minimal Progress
Requirements
A student in the College of Engineering
may be placed on academic probation if
the total number of units passed at UCSB
is fewer than what is prescribed by the
prevailing academic Senate regulation
regarding Minimum Cumulative Progress.
At least three-fourths of the minimum
number of academic units passed must
include courses prescribed for the major.
The following courses may be counted
toward the unit minimums: courses
repeated to raise C-, D, or F grades;
courses passed by examination; courses
graded IP (In Progress); courses passed
during summer session at UCSB or at
another accredited college or university
and transferred to UCSB.
Students must obtain the approval of
the Associate Dean for Undergraduate
Studies to deviate from these require-
ments. Approval normally will be granted
only in cases of medical disability, severe
personal problems, or accidents.
Students enrolled in dual-degree
programs must submit their proposed
programs of study to the Associate Dean
for Undergraduate Studies in the College
of Engineering for approval. The indi-
vidual programs must contain comparable
standards of minimal academic progress.
215–Unit and Quarter Enrollment
Limitations
The college expects students to gradu-
ate within 12 regular quarters for students
who are admitted as freshmen and 9
regular quarters for students admitted as
junior transfers and with no more than 215
units. College credit earned before high
school graduation does not count toward
the 215-unit maximum. This includes
credit for Advanced Placement and Inter-
national Baccalaureate examinations, and
also college or university credit earned
while still in high school.
Students who are admitted as freshmen
and remain continuously enrolled will
be assessed after 12 regular quarters at
UCSB, and transfer students admitted as
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING • 7
juniors will be assessed after 9 regular
quarters at UCSB. Summer session does
not count as a regular quarter in this
calculation but units earned in summer
session do apply toward the 215-unit
maximum.
With the exception of summer sessions,
if students leave UCSB and earn a large
number of units at one or more other aca-
demic institutions while they are away, the
number of quarters allowed at UCSB will
be reduced in proportion to the number
of terms completed elsewhere.
College policy requires students to se-
cure specic approval to continue enroll-
ment beyond the quarter and unit limits
noted above. Students who think they
may exceed both the quarter limitations
and 215 units may submit a Proposed
Schedule for Graduation (Study Plan) for
consideration by the Associate Dean for
Undergraduate Studies, but they should
understand that approval is granted in
limited circumstances.
Note: The College of Engineering will not
accept students from the College of Creative
Studies or the College of Letters and Science
after they have completed 105 units, regard-
less of their expected unit total at graduation.

Academic Integrity
The UCSB Student Conduct Code exists to support the highest standards of social and academic behavior and ensure and
environment conducive to student learning. It is expected that students attending the UCSB understand and subscribe to the
ideal of academic integrity, and are willing to bear individual responsibility for their work. Any submission that fullls an academic
requirement must represent a student’s original work. Any act of academic dishonesty will subject a person to University disciplinary
action.

Academic dishonesty includes cheating, plagiarism, unauthorized collaboration, furnishing false information, and misuse of course
materials. Denitions and misconduct are posted at http://studentconduct.sa.ucsb.edu/academic-integrity.
A specic note about student collaboration: Collaboration on homework assignments (i.e., problem sets), especially in light of
the recognized pedagogical benet of group study, is dictated by standards that can and do vary widely from course to course and
instructor to instructor. The use of old solution sets and published solution guides presents a similar situation. Because homework
assignments serve two functions – helping students learn the material and helping instructors evaluate academic performance – it
is usually not obvious how much collaboration or assistance from commonly-available solutions, if any, the instructor expects. It is
therefore imperative that students and instructors play an active role in communicating expectations about the nature and extent of
collaboration or assistance from materials that is permissible or encouraged.
