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 advisors to choose a degree-granting engineering major by semester three.

Recommended Semester Plan
To remain on track, students must complete the appropriate critical-tracking courses, which appear in bold.
Undecided engineering students who are ready to begin one or both critical-tracking courses in semester 1 should meet with their academic advisor to adjust the recommended plan of study.
