Degree Requirements
Majors are required to take Mathematics 161, 162, 263, and 264; Physics 131;
Chemistry 121; Engineering Science 101, 225, 226, and 230; either Chemistry 122
or Engineering Science 231; Civil and Environmental Engineering 251, 271, 201,
311, 321, 331, 341, 351, 361, 372, 473, and three departmental electives; two
science or mathematics electives; two technical electives (upper-level mathematics,
science, or engineering courses, usually requiring one or more prerequisites);
a First-Year Seminar and English 110; five courses chosen from an approved list
of humanities and social science courses (including one course chosen from an
approved list in the fields of economics and/or policy); and two free electives.
Science and Math Electives
Courses in geology, biology, physics, or chemistry will be permitted as science electives, subject to approval of the student’s major department. Math electives must not regress from the math courses that are required to be taken.
Approved Social Science - Humanities Electives
The list of approved electives, effective for all classes, is in accord with the recommendations of the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone: (410) 347-7700. It is the student's responsibility that any deviation from this list or special topics, independent study, research internships, or thesis outside engineering be approved by petition to the Director of Engineering.
Two (2) elective courses must be taken in the same department, with at least one (1) of those at the 200 level. If the courses are foreign language courses, one (1) course must be at the 111 level or higher. Students must take a minimum of one (1) course in the social sciences and one (1) course in the humanities.
Technical Electives
Upper-level courses in math, sciences, and engineering that normally require prerequisites are acceptable as technical electives for engineering students, subject to the approval of the student’s major department.
