Candidates for the Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (Materials Science and Engineering) — B.S.E. (Matl. Sci.& E.) — must complete the program listed above. This sample schedule is an example of one leading to graduation in eight terms.
1Either Chem 125/126 & 130 or Chem 210 & 211 may be used to satisfy this requirement. However, Chem 210 is required by the program. Excess Chemistry may be used to satisfy Sci/Tech electives.
2 Physics: 140, 141; 240, 241 will count for 10 total credits, 2 of which will be applied according to individual program directives.
3A macro- or micro-economic course is required (Econ 101 or 102).
