Engineering General Education Courses

General Education courses are divided into three categories and are listed in this manner in the schedule of courses. These are:

• Introductory Courses are usually 100-level and above
• Further Study Courses are usually a second course in the same department as an introductory course
• Issues and Perspectives are listed in a separate category

General Education Requirements in Engineering

 
Notes:

• Only specific classes count for General Education credit. Refer to the Schedule of Courses Menu - General Education Class Locator for an approved list of General Education courses each semester. 
• Philosophy 385 or 354 is a required General Education course for engineering students and fulfills the Issues & Perspectives requirement in engineering. 
• Any Issues & Perspectives course(s) taken in addition to the required ethics course for engineering students WILL NOT count toward General Education in engineering.   
• Be advised, the following are Issues & Perspectives courses and WILL NOT count toward General Education in engineering:
  • SOC316 - Men & Masculinities
  • WOMS316 - Men & Masculinities
  • HMCD308 - Leadership in Self/Society
  • PSY 413 - Leadership in Self/Society
  • PSY 346 - Leadership in Self/Society
  • PHS 308 - Leadership in Self/Society
• Just because a course has an introductory class as its prerequisite, does not mean it is necessarily a Further Study course. Again, your best guide is the Schedule of Courses - General Education Class Locator.

Basic Skills Requirement

University policy requires completion of these courses within the first 48 credit hours. The Office of Student Records will not give a student electronic signature to enroll unless this requirement has been met.
