"description": "<p>Electrical engineers work on products that are powered by or produce electricity. Focus areas include communications, digital signal processing, electromagnetics, power and control systems. Electrical engineers design and create devices and technologies in areas such as signal processing, renewable power, biomedical sensing, computer architecture, microwave engineering and antenna design, that impact all facets of modern life.</p> <br /> <p>The Electrical Engineering Comprehensive Track covers fundamental electrical engineering concepts. The student is exposed to key areas in the discipline, including communications and signal processing, controls, power and energy systems, electromagnetics, microelectronics, electronics, embedded systems and software, etc. The technical electives can be selected to provide more depth in one or more areas of electrical engineering.</p> <br /> <h4>CECS Progress Policy</h4> <ul> <li>Students in the Electrical Engineering major are expected to make consistent good progress toward their degrees to remain enrolled in, or eligible for, any major, minor, or certificate in the College of Engineering & Computer Science (CECS) or the College of Optics and Photonics (COP). To support this, CECS and COP enforce a Progress Policy with two components: the low grade component and the repeat attempt component. <ul> <li><strong>Low Grade Component</strong>: Any student majoring in Electrical Engineering who has accumulated 7 or more unsuccessful attempts (i.e., grades below "C" (2.0), U grades, and withdrawals, including in 0-credit courses) over all courses taken at UCF will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation has a tenth unsuccessful attempt over all courses taken at UCF, the student will be Excluded from all CECS and COP majors, minors, and certificates.</li> <li><strong>Repeat Attempt Component</strong>: Any student majoring in Electrical Engineering who repeats any UCF course and does not earn a grade of "C" (2.0) or better on the second attempt will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation does not receive a grade of "C" (2.0) or better by the third attempt in the same UCF course, the student will be Excluded from all CECS and COP majors, minors, and certificates.</li> </ul> </li> <li>A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors cannot declare any CECS or COP minors or certificates unless as required by the student’s degree program. A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors may seek readmission to a major in CECS or COP after earning a bachelor’s degree or relevant associate of science degree, either from another college at UCF or from another institution. To be eligible for readmission to CECS or COP, the student must not have accumulated any additional low grades in subsequent coursework used to complete the earned degree. An excluded student who meets these criteria is not guaranteed readmission to a CECS or COP major. Any student who is readmitted to the Electrical Engineering major will be subject to all probation conditions that applied at the time of exclusion.</li> </ul><p>This program prepares students for state-regulated professional licensure or certification.

"description": "<p>Electrical engineers work on products that are powered by or produce electricity. Focus areas include communications, digital signal processing, electromagnetics, power and control systems. Electrical engineers design and create devices and technologies in areas such as signal processing, renewable power, biomedical sensing, computer architecture, microwave engineering and antenna design, that impact all facets of modern life.</p> <br /> <p>The RF and Microwave Track provides students an opportunity to take technical elective courses covering a wide range of topics in applied electromagnetics such as antennas, computational electromagnetics, high-speed circuits and systems, bio-electromagnetics, radar, remote sensing and wireless sensors.</p> <br /> <h4>CECS Progress Policy</h4> <ul> <li>Students in the Electrical Engineering major are expected to make consistent good progress toward their degrees to remain enrolled in, or eligible for, any major, minor, or certificate in the College of Engineering & Computer Science (CECS) or the College of Optics and Photonics (COP). To support this, CECS and COP enforce a Progress Policy with two components: the low grade component and the repeat attempt component. <ul> <li><strong>Low Grade Component</strong>: Any student majoring in Electrical Engineering who has accumulated 7 or more unsuccessful attempts (i.e., grades below "C" (2.0), U grades, and withdrawals, including in 0-credit courses) over all courses taken at UCF will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation has a tenth unsuccessful attempt over all courses taken at UCF, the student will be Excluded from all CECS and COP majors, minors, and certificates.</li> <li><strong>Repeat Attempt Component</strong>: Any student majoring in Electrical Engineering who repeats any UCF course and does not earn a grade of "C" (2.0) or better on the second attempt will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation does not receive a grade of "C" (2.0) or better by the third attempt in the same UCF course, the student will be Excluded from all CECS and COP majors, minors, and certificates.</li> </ul> </li> <li>A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors cannot declare any CECS or COP minors or certificates unless as required by the student’s degree program. A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors may seek readmission to a major in CECS or COP after earning a bachelor’s degree or relevant associate of science degree, either from another college at UCF or from another institution. To be eligible for readmission to CECS or COP, the student must not have accumulated any additional low grades in subsequent coursework used to complete the earned degree. An excluded student who meets these criteria is not guaranteed readmission to a CECS or COP major. Any student who is readmitted to the Electrical Engineering major will be subject to all probation conditions that applied at the time of exclusion.</li> </ul><p>This program prepares students for state-regulated professional licensure or certification.

"description": "<p>The B.S. in Elementary Education program at UCF prepares you to become an elementary classroom teacher. You'll gain a number of hands-on skills, developing pedagogy and content knowledge needed to meet the needs of K-6 students. Coursework covers various elementary subject areas, including reading, language arts, mathematics, social studies and science. It also provides you with first-hand experience in teaching learners with varying abilities, including students with disabilities and English learners. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to work with the latest technologies that are used in teaching and learning environments.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/elementary-education-bs/k-6-certification/\"><strong>K-6 Certification Track</strong></a><br>\r\nThis track meets the educational requirements for certification in Elementary Education (K-6) in the State of Florida. In addition to your coursework, you'll be required to complete two teaching internships. Upon graduating, you'll be prepared to teach elementary grades (K-6) and will earn ESOL and Reading Endorsements.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/elementary-education-bs/professional-studies-track-non-certification/\"><strong>Professional Studies Track (non-certification)</strong></a><br>\r\nYou'll want to choose this track if your goal is to work with students in a traditional K-6 classroom setting, but you have not yet passed the required exams to be admitted into the K-6 Certification Track. During the program, you'll complete the required classes and two teaching internships. Upon graduating, you may teach under temporary certification and work toward professional certification.</p>\r\n\r\n<p><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/elementary-education-bs/lifelong-learning/\"><strong>Lifelong Learning Track (non-certification)</strong></a><br>\r\nThis track is a great option if you're seeking opportunities for employment outside formal, K-12 schools that don't require certification. You'll learn to teach children in other settings outside of traditional elementary schools, such as museums, science or marine programs, among other opportunities.</p>",

"description": "<p>The Master of Emergency Management and Crisis (MECM) program prepares you to practice as a highly trained practitioner in the emergency management field through the development of core competencies, from emergency preparedness and planning to legal and ethical decision making to disaster response and recovery.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The frequency of human-induced and natural disasters has dramatically increased since the 1990s. Florida is the fifth highest state with 69 major disaster declarations between 1953 and 2016, as reported by the Congressional Research Service in 2017. For communities to be prepared for, respond to, recover from and mitigate these disasters, an educated workforce of emergency management specialists is required.

"description": "<p>The BFA in Emerging Media program — offered by the <a href=\"https://svad.cah.ucf.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">School of Visual Arts and Design</a> — combines art, storytelling, and technology to create impactful design and industry standard outcomes. Your coursework will provide you with a solid foundation in techniques and theory in one of the specialized tracks: Character Animation, Animation and Visualization, or Graphic Design. While taking a wide variety of courses aligning classroom learning with personal and professional goals, you'll gain a broad understanding of related disciplines, including arts, humanities, and technology, as well as hands-on experience working on real projects. Emerging Media graduates are employees at renowned Fortune 500, media, design and production companies across the nation. <em>The first two years of the degree are spent as an Emerging Media Pending major, taking Common Program Prerequisite courses, along with General Education Program courses, and Basic Level Core requirements. Students who are admitted into one of the following tracks must be admitted to UCF before beginning coursework.</em> <br><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/emerging-media-bfa/character-animation-track/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Character Animation Track</strong></a> This track of studies encompasses all aspects of the production process, from story creation to film completion, while working as part of a team. You'll gain first-hand knowledge about tools and industry practices for computer-generated animated filmmaking. Upon graduation, you'll be ready to enter a career in positions such as an animator, modeler, rigger or texture artist in the film, television, streaming or computer game industries. <br><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/emerging-media-bfa/experimental-animation-track/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Animation and Visualization Track</strong></a> Explore creative expression through innovative and hybrid analog and digital art practice. You'll engage in classic, current, and widely varied techniques and artistic mediums in this track, making narrative or non-narrative creative works. By graduation, you'll have developed a unique creative vision that culminates in completing a BFA thesis project and exhibition/screening. Much like Character Animation, Animation and Visualization students will be prepared with the necessary tools to enter their creative industry of choice. <br><a href=\"https://www.ucf.edu/degree/emerging-media-bfa/graphic-design-track/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Graphic Design Track</strong></a> Learn about the art of visual communication, stressing the professional aspects of design by using a blend of art, communication, and business. Throughout the course study for this track, you'll combine technology with aesthetics in the production of typographic and publication design, identity systems, packaging, film and broadcast graphics, posters, interactive and web design.</p>",

In the track, students engage in classic, current, and widely varied techniques and mediums making moving images, which may be narrative or non-narrative creative works. By graduation, each student has developed a unique creative vision which culminates in the completion of a B.F.A. capstone.</p> <p><strong><em>As part of the program, some courses study the form and proportion of the human figure. Nude models are used as reference.</em></strong></p> <br /> <h2>Admission Requirements</h2> <ul> <li>Admission into the Experimental Animation track requires successful completion of the Experimental Animation Portfolio review. The Experimental Animation review process is held in the Spring semester.
