This version of the program will be used for advising and student planning purposes.
Any developmental course requirements should be completed prior to starting the courses listed below
as they may be required for enrollment in courses listed in the term sequence.
Program Notes: Program notes: Students must earn a grade of "C" or better for all courses required within the program and must have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 in these courses to complete their degree.
+ indicates course has prerequisites and/or corequisites.
Advisement notes:
Students considering transfer to a state university should select their general education distribution courses [SB, HU] with L, C, G, and/or H designation(s). They also need to be mindful of their GPA as there often are minimum requirements for admission into engineering programs.
Program sequence is shown using CHM courses for some of restricted elective credits required. Many engineering majors, including Electrical and Material Science, will require these CHM courses if the student transfers to the university. However, students may choose to substitute other restricted electives from the list below. A total of 16-20 credits of restricted electives are required.
It is recommended that students take general education courses during summer sessions, including the summer prior to their first semester, to lighten their load during the regular semesters.
Admission Criteria: None.
