See next page for important notes
1
If the theology elective is a theological perspectives course that also satisfies a companion subject core
requirement, three general elective credits must be taken to satisfy the total number of credits (129) for the degree.
2
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.
3
In different areas, only certain courses may be used; see UP Bulletin for more information.
4
Technical Electives: 9 hours must be chosen from EGR/ME 4xx courses that are not specifically required for the
degree.10,13
Substitutions:
5
ME 222 can replace ME 111
6
ME 441 can replace ME 341
7
ME 328 can replace ME 401
8
EGR 111 (2 credits) can replace CS 201 (1 credit)
9
EGR 300/391+EGR 483+EGR 484 can replace ME 481 and ME 482 from spring 2013.
10
EGR 300+6 credits of professional electives+2credits of upper-division technical electives replaces 9 credits of
approved upper-division technical electives from spring 2014. 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. The professional elective credits may be used towards courses offered by the Shiley School, a University
minor, or a course cluster. Professional elective credit may not be awarded for AP, IB, & CLEP examinations or
ROTC credit.
11
EGR 361 (3 credits) can replace the 2-credit EGR 360 course.
12
EGR 311 can replace ME 311.
13
6 credits of professional electives may replace 6 credits of the approved upper-division technical electives.
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. The professional elective credits may be used towards
courses offered by the Shiley School, a University minor, or a course cluster. Professional elective credit may not
be awarded for AP, IB, & CLEP examinations or ROTC credit.
14
For transfer students into the Shiley School of Engineering who have declared a major and have not had an
Introduction to Engineering course, the dean may approve the substitution of another engineering or computer
science course depending on the student’s educational background.
15
THE 105 may be taken in place of THE 101.
