Each engineering major has an undergraduate advising manual, which will be given to you when you meet your faculty adviser. These manuals specify graduation requirements. Total credits vary from 120 to 129 for the different majors, and students typically take 15 to 17 credits per semester. All students must take a minimum number of courses in academic areas outside their primary area of interest. These are called distribution requirements , and specific requirements are contained in the advising manual for each engineering major.
Specific courses can also lie in the intersection of two or more areas.
