University General Education Requirements include: 3 credits of Writing & Information Literacy (WIL1). Students must take ENGL 1001 or HCOL 1000 (only for students enrolled in the Honors College) to satisfy this requirement.
A single course can satisfy multiple requirements in this category.
- 2
Free Electives: Students may use free elective credits to pursue coursework germane to their interests, including Professional Development Electives. Students are encouraged to work with their advisor(s) to select courses that complement their curricula and support their academic and career goals. Students should select one course that meets the University Sustainability Requirement (SU) if they have not taken an SU engineering course. Students should also select a course to satisfy the University Global Citizenship (GC) Requirement if they have not taken a GC engineering course.
- 3
First Year Curriculum: These degree requirements are designed for first-year students. Internal and external transfer students may substitute additional 2000-level or higher engineering (BME, CEE, EE, ENGR, ME, EMGT) credits for this requirement.
- 4
Engineering Science Electives: All BME, CEE, EE, ENGR, ME and EMGT courses (except ENGR 1100). Must have a minimum of 9 credits at the 3000-level.
- 5
Capstone Design I and II courses must have the same course prefix.
- 6
Technical Electives: Any 2000-level or higher course in CEMS or BSAD; natural sciences courses with advisor approval. BSE students may not double count BSAD courses as both Tech Electives and General Education.
