Critical Tracking Course Policy

Dear EE Majors,

Critical Tracking records each student’s progress in courses that are required for entry to each major. Please note the critical-tracking requirements below on a per-semester basis. Equivalent critical-tracking courses, as determined by the State of Florida Common Course Prerequisites, may be used for transfer students.

/Critical Tracking must be completed in your first five semesters

The critical-tracking courses are MAC 2311, MAC 2312, MAC 2313, MAP 2302, PHY 2048, PHY 2049, and CHM 2045 or CHM 2095.  Critical Tracking records each student’s progress in courses that are required for entry to each major.  The completion of critical-tracking courses requires a minimum grade of C in each course but must have an overall tracking  GPA of 2.5 (as computed on the maximum of two attempts allowed for each course, including withdrawals).  If a student earns C in three or more tracking courses, their critical-tracking GPA will be below a 2.50.

RE: Huixiang Chen

Dear ECE Students,

Many in our community are still struggling to come to terms with the recent death of ECE PhD student Huixiang Chen. You may also have seen or heard a lot of discussions, in person, in emails, and on social media, concerning Huixiang's faculty advisor, Dr. Tao Li. The department, the college, and the university are all taking these allegations extremely seriously, and there are multiple inquiries underway at this time. The university just released a statement concerning these events which can be seen here: http://statements.ufl.edu/statements/2019/july/university-statement-regarding-student-death.html.

There will be a memorial service for Huixiang on Wednesday, July 10 at 2pm at the Baughman Center on campus. All wishing to attend are encouraged to do so. This has been an extremely difficult time for the department. A loss like this is so sad for all of us. Our thoughts and condolences are with Huixiang’s family, friends, and colleagues. As these events continue to affect us all, we would like to provide links to campus resources for anyone affected by uncertainty, stress, or grief stemming from these events. Finally, for our Chinese students, one of our staff members, Grace Hong, is fluent in Mandarin and has already provided informal support to a number of students affected by Huixiang's death. We’ve included her contact information below.

Sincerely,

John
