Foototes:
1Required Humanities and Social Science (HSS): 15 credits of approved HSS electives, including three credits of D1 and three credits of D1/D2. At least six credits must be completed from the same department. A current list of approved HSS electives is available on the CEMS Student Services 
website.
2Pre-Engineering Technical (PET) requirements: MATH 021 and MATH 022, CHEM 031, PHYS 031 and CS 020. All PET courses must be completed with C- or better before any sophomore engineering courses may be taken.
3Science Elective (sophomore year) must be a four-credit course with lab, excluding physics and chemistry, i.e., GEOL 001, (BIOL 001 or BIOL 002), PSS 161.
4Typical Design Electives are CE 141, CE 251, CE 253, CE 256, CE 261, CE 265, CE 281 and some CE 295 courses. CE 173 is a design elective if CE 172 has also been taken.
5Science or Tech elective (senior year); ME 042, any 100-level or above course in science (BIOL, CHEM, GEOL, PSS, PHYS) or engineering.
6 CE 175, Senior Design Project, is required of all seniors (no substitutions).
7Professional Electives are all Design Electives plus CE 191, CE 192, and any 200-level CE course.
