TOTAL

180 or 183
  1. Counts as Mathematics and Basic Sciences for ABET, total units Mathematics and Basic Sciences = 49.
  2. Counts as Engineering Concepts for ABET, total units Engineering Concepts = 87.
  3. Students should contact the Office of Academic and Student Affairs for approved lists in the categories of Technical Breadth Requirement and General Education Requirements.
  4. See Suggested Tracks or Suggested Tracks for lists of electives based on track of study.
  5. Any excess or available units not already applied to another degree requirement will satisfy this unit.
  6. When selecting an ethics course, review the Engineering Writing requirement. If the requirement will not be satisfied another way, select an ethics course that also satisfies the writing requirement.
