  6. MEAM 399
  7. MSE 266, 268, 368
  8. SYS 301, 302, 445
  9. All Engineering courses numbered 296 or 297*

The following courses are also counted in the Engineering category:

  1. EAS 300 (2 c.u. count as engineering)
  2. Naval Science 301

*Notes

EAS courses below 080 may be used only as free electives.

EAS 097 is not counted in the Engineering category, but where appropriate, may be counted (up to one course unit) in the Technical Electives category. It may also be counted as a free elective.

All engineering courses numbered 297 (e.g., ESE 297) denote engineering course credit received from study abroad that do not qualify for the "Engineering" category. These courses may NOT be used in the "Engineering" category. They may however be used in the "Technical Elective/Application Focus" category. (Please note that many engineering course credits may be earned from study abroad that count as "Engineering" category credit. In cases where no exact equivalent credit is given, a course number of 298 will be assigned and these may be used in the Engineering category.)

All engineering courses numbered 296 (e.g., BE 296) denote engineering course credit received from study abroad that do not qualify for the "Engineering" category. These courses may NOT be used in the "Engineering" category. Also, they may not be used in the "Technical Elective/Application Focus" category. 296 numbered courses may be counted as Free Elective. Also, via petition, they may be considered for SSH or TBS requirements.

Dual and joint degree BAS students are allowed to count up to two non-engineering linking courses in the engineering category. At present the only linking courses approved for this substitution are MGMT 235 & MGMT 237. Others may be approved by petition.

** EAS 210 may be counted in the Technical Elective category but not in the Engineering category of the Course Planning Guide. Students majoring in EE, CTE, and SSE may not count EAS 210 in either the Engineering column nor the Technical Elective (focus) column.

*** CIS (CSE) 125 counts as an ":E" course only in Spring 2008 and previous semesters.
