Notes:  

  1. Contributes to University Core Curriculum requirements.
  2. Contributes to Gordon Rule writing requirement.
  3. Social Sciences/Humanities courses, totaling 6 or more credit hours, must be selected to satisfy Gordon Rule writing requirements.
  4. Two or more of the Social Sciences and/or Humanities selections must have a global perspective. Contact the Department for the list of approved Social Science/Humanities courses.
  5. Contributes to Gordon Rule mathematics requirement.
  6. PHY 2048 and PHY 2049 (4 credits each) are acceptable substitutes, but only 6 credits will apply toward the degree.
  7. Contact the Department for the list of approved computer programming electives.
  8. Includes a 1-credit laboratory.
  9. Contact the Department for the list of approved engineering science electives.
  10. All professional core courses contain a communications component (writing or speaking).
