§ The Science Electives can be
any course from the Lab Science Sequence list plus any course in those
departments that carry credit toward graduation in their undergraduate major.
§ Note: Other courses in Science or Quantitative
Social Sciences may be used to satisfy the Science elective, but must be
approved in advance by a petition to the CS Director of Undergraduate Studies. Proposed courses must be required of
undergraduate majors in scientific areas.
Free Electives (5 credit hours)
PE Exam: Students preparing for the Fundamentals of
Engineering Examination, which leads to becoming a Licensed Professional
Engineer, are advised to use these hours to take CME 201 - Statics and one
course from the following: CME 203 - Strength of Materials, CME 260 - Properties
of Materials, and ME 211 – Fluid Mechanics I.
Please Note: Many departments and colleges restrict
enrollment in their courses. Please read
