The Integrated Degree Program (IDP) leads to both the Bachelors and Master of Science degrees. The program provides a student the opportunity to obtain superior breadth and depth of technical material. The IDP program in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering is available only to UC Davis undergraduates with strong academc records enrolled in the Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering/Materials Science curricula. B.S. Requirement: IDP students must satisfy all requirements for a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering/Materials Science, with the modified requirement that two graduate ECE courses be taken in partial fulfillment of the design, technical, or unrestricted elective requirements. Once admitted to the IDP, participants are required to maintain a UC GPA of 3.2 in their coursework to advance to graduate standing upon completion of the Bachelor's Degree. The following graduate level courses will count for design credit:

EEC201, EEC206, EEC210, EEC211, EEC212, EEC214, EEC218A, EEC221, EEC228, EEC246, EEC255, EEC270, EEC280, and EEC282

  • IDP M.S. Plan I - requires 30 units of coursework at the upper division and graduate levels and the submission of a thesis. At least 12 of the 30 units must be a ECE graduate courses, at most 9 units can be research (299), at most 3 units can be a seminar (290-297, excluding 290C), and the remaining units required to total 30 units must either be upper division technical or graduate courses.
  • IDP M.S. Plan II - requires 36 units of course work at the upper division and graduate levels and satisfactory performancee on a comprehensive final examination. At least 18 of the 36 units must be graduate engineering courses of which 15 units must be ECE graduate courses. Furthermore, at most 6 units can be research (299), at most 3 units can be seminar (290-297, excluding 290C), and the remaining units required to total 36 units must either be upper division technical or graduate courses.
