Students who wish to enroll in the optional research and internship courses (ENGR 1000,ENGR 2000, ENGR 3000 and ENGR 4000) should consult with an advisor for adding these courses to a plan.
PLEASE NOTE: This plan is an example of what a four year plan could look like for a typical student. Placement exam scores in math as well as the completion of coursework may change the plan. It should not be used in the place of regular academic advising appointments. All students are encouraged to meet with their advisor. All requirements are subject to change.
