Sample ECE Programs for a Semester Abroad

• Study-Abroad Program:Students interested in studying abroad should explore possibilities at the Duke Study Abroad Office and then discuss their personal interests and options with their Pratt Faculty Advisor and with the ECE Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS).
• FIRST and SOPHOMORE YEARS: Follow standard Durham programs. See NOTES in sample programs for additional guidance.
• Full-Year Abroad: A full two-semester Junior Year Abroad is also possible, but is usually only feasible for students entering Duke with multiple Advanced Placement (AP) credits and a demonstrated interest in a specific overseas country and its culture.
• Approved ECE Design Elective: This required course must be taken at Duke in Durham; it may not be taken abroad.
• Courses taken abroad: Courses shown are their Duke equivalents as certified by the ECE Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS). Options vary by university and semester.
  Many universities abroad have courses equivalent to ECE 53L, ECE 141, ECE 180, and other first courses among the ECE Concentration Electives. The above Sample Program for the Fall Semester Abroad assumes that courses equivalent to ECE 53L and a Concentration Course exist and that such courses have been elected. If appropriate courses are not available in the relevant semester, students should investigate course alternatives, discuss options with the ECE Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) to verify that these are ECE-approved equivalents, and adjust the above program accordingly, usually by substituting the missing ECE-required courses for the Senior-year Electives. It is feasible to take more than one Concentration Course in a semester.
  Slightly different assumptions are built into the Sample Program for the Spring Semester Abroad, but similar comments apply mutatis mutandis.
