First-Semester Curriculum

Introductory Engineering Courses
A number of courses are designed to serve as introductions to engineering: ENGIN 110 to Chemical Engineering, ENGIN 111 to Civil and Environmental Engineering, ENGIN 112 to Electrical and Computer Engineering, and ENGIN 113 to Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. These courses offer opportunities for students as they make decisions about their course of study and have common goals: 1) to expose students to basic engineering principles and practices; and 2) to educate students to think analytically. Listed below are typical first-year fall semester curriculums:

Chemical Engineering:
ENGIN 110, MATH 131, CHEM 111, ENGLWRIT 112 and Social World Elective

Civil and Environmental Engineering:
ENGIN 111, MATH 131, CHEM 111, ENGLWRIT 112 and/or Social World Elective

Electrical and Computer Engineering:
ENGIN 112, MATH 131, PHYSICS 151, ENGLWRIT 112 or Social World Elective

Mechanical Engineering:
