KEY:
● Solid arrows indicate required prerequisites.
● Dashed arrows (single) indicate corequisites that may be taken as prerequisites.
● Dashed arrows (double) indicate corequisites to be taken in the same semester.
● Courses with rounded corners indicate restricted electives.
● Courses shaded in grey are typically offered in both the Fall and Spring.
● A grade of C- or better is required in PHY 204, MTH 201, MTH 202, EGR 211, EGR 212
and EGR 322. Red arrows indicate a prerequisite that must receive a grade of C- or better.
● The *indicates a writing intensive course. Only one of these courses should be taken per
semester.
● The # indicates that the prerequisites for a course may vary.
● Courses outlined in purple indicate University course requirements.
● Italicized course numbers indicate course substitutions.
DUAL MAJORS AND DUAL DEGREES IN ENGINEERING: Students completing
double majors or dual degrees within the Shiley School have two options for completing
the XX 483/484 requirement: 1) The student takes EGR 483 and EGR 484 and the
student’s contributions to the capstone project include both disciplines, or 2) The student
takes both discipline-specific 483 and 484 courses.
CREDIT MINIMA: 130 total semester credit hours; 34 semester credit hours of math and
science; 57 semester credit hours of engineering.

NOTES ABOUT CURRICULUM:
(1) THE 205 prerequisites: THE 101 or 105 + PHL 150 or ENG 112
(2) Theology Elective: If the theology elective is a theological perspectives course that also satisfies a companion subject core requirement,
three elective credits must be taken to satisfy the total number of credits for the degree.
(3) Social Science Elective: Must be chosen from 2 disciplines fulfilled by SOC 101, PSY 101, ECN 120, POL 200, POL 203, POL 205, SW
205, CST 225.
(4) Math/Science Elective: Chosen from: BIO 200 or higher, CHM 200 or higher, PHY 300 or higher, or MTH 300 or higher. Does not include:
BIO 384, BIO 387, CHM 387, MTH 387, and other specific math/science courses required for the degree. Must be taken for a grade A - F.
(5) Professional Electives: The professional electives may be a combination of courses (each 3-credits or more unless approved by the
program chair) offered by the University at the 200-level or higher. Professional electives include the following: courses offered by the Shiley
School, courses that comprise a University minor, and courses included in an approved cluster. Professional elective credit may not be
awarded for AP, IB, & CLEP examinations, or ROTC credit. Must be taken for a grade A - F.
(6) ME Majors: MTH 3XX or MTH 4XX can substitute for EGR 361.
SUBSTITUTIONS:
EGR 110: For transfer students into the Shiley School who have declared a major and have not had an Introduction to Engineering course, the
dean may approve the substitution of an engineering or computer science elective depending on the student’s educational background.
ME 111 can substitute for ME 222, due to course re-numbering.
ME 401 can substitute for ME 328, due to course re-numbering.
