Engineering students must take ENGL 323 in place of ENGL 223. ENGL 323 is normally taken at the time the student is taking other third-year engineering courses. Complete details of the general studies program for engineering students, including specific course requirements, are available from the School of Engineering. The engineering core consists of a group of studies which emphasize the enduring fundamentals common to the many branches of engineering and the applied sciences. These studies help ensure that the student will enjoy a truly professional career and be prepared to move into new or developing technical areas with confidence.
Limited flexibility is provided within the core.
However, this flexibility is affected by specific course requirements within each engineering concentration. Students are therefore cautioned to consult with their advisers before selecting these courses. All students are required to present 48 to 60 credits of core courses depending upon the engineering concentration selected. In addition, the indicated minimum requirements must be satisfied within each individual section of the core. In the following listings the symbols CE, EE, and ME indicate the core organization for the civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering concentrations respectively.
