COURSES OF INSTRUCTION FOR ENGINEERING SCIENCE

•  

Courses numbered below 100 are developmental, courses in the 100 series are designed for freshmen, 200 courses are for sophomores, and 300 and 400 courses are for juniors and seniors.


•  

Admission to courses numbered 300 or above requires sophomore standing and completion of six semester hours of non‑developmental English and three semester hours of non‑developmental mathematics.


•  

Numbers preceded by an asterisk (*)indicate courses carrying undergraduate credit or graduate credit. Such courses are structured to ensure appropriate attention to both groups.


•  

Courses numbered 500 to 599 are designed for graduate students. Seniors, however, may be admitted under certain conditions (see Admissions of Seniors to Part‑Time Graduate Study).


•  

A freshman or sophomore cannot register for a course listed and offered for graduate or undergraduate credit, if a graduate student is enrolled in the course.


Courses numbered below 100 are developmental and are not acceptable for credit toward graduation. Some other courses numbered above 100 may not carry credit toward graduation; see course description.

The numerical listing after the course titles gives the following information:

first number :  

semester credit hours


second number :  

lecture hours per week


third number :  

laboratory or other contact hours per week.


ACCT 205 :  

Introduction to Financial Accounting. 03‑3‑0. (3 semester credit hours. 3 hours lecture per week. No laboratory.) (52.0301)


BIOL 204 :

CHEM 451 :  

Research Problems. 2‑1‑3.(2 semester credit hours. 1 hour lecture per week. 3 hours laboratory per week.) (40.0599)


Courses offered only in specific semesters are identified by the following designations:

Su only  

Fa-odd years only

Sp only
