    Engineering - Exploring Engineering Studies

    This plan is intended for students who want to major in engineering but have not yet chosen a specific discipline, or for students who need to take both pre-tracking chemistry and mathematics courses in their first semester. This is not a degree-granting major. Students should work with their academic advisers to choose a degree-granting engineering major by semester three.

    Critical Tracking

    Semester 1

    • 2.0 UF GPA required for semesters 1-5
    • 2.5 GPA on all critical tracking coursework for semesters 1-5
    • Complete CHM 1025 and MAC 1147 with minimum grades of C within 2 attempts, including withdrawals. At least one course must be passed in semester 1

    Semester 2

    • Complete 2 of the 8 critical tracking courses with minimum grades of C within two attempts, including withdrawals: CHM 2045 or CHM 2095, CHM 2046 or
      CHM 2096, MAC 2311, MAC 2312, MAC 2313, MAP 2302, PHY 2048, PHY 2049

    Semester 3

    • Complete 2 additional critical tracking courses with minimum grades of C within two attempts, including withdrawals

    Semester 4

    • Complete 2 additional courses with minimum grades of C within two attempts, including withdrawals

    Semester 5

    • Complete all 8 critical tracking courses with minimum grades of C in each course, within two attempts

    Recommended Semester Plan

    To remain on track, students must complete the appropriate critical tracking courses, which appear in bold. Students are required to complete HUM 2305 The Good Life (GE-H) in semester 1 or 2.

    Undecided engineering students who are ready to begin one or both critical tracking courses in semester 1 should meet with their academic adviser to adjust the recommended plan of study.
