C-REQUIREMENT COURSES All courses listed in bold type require a grade of C or higher.
Sequential Nature of the Program:
Courses offered during each semester of the EET program generally build upon material taught in previous semesters. Many courses have prerequisites listed in the Undergraduate Degree Programs Bulletin. Therefore, if you fail to take a course during the targeted semester, you may be unable to schedule courses in subsequent semesters as well. The end result may be a degree program that extends beyond the traditional four years.
Note 1: US/IL Requirements for GS/GH/GA Courses
Associate degree students are required to complete three credits in each of three general education areas: Social Sciences (GS), Humanities (GH), and Arts (GA). Of these nine credits, one 3 credit course in United States Cultures (US) or one 3 credit course in International Cultures (IL) must be taken to satisfy general education requirements. If a course is identified as both US and IL, it will have the USI designation and can be used to satisfy the requirement.
Note 2: Courses taught only one semester per year
Due to limited faculty resources, several program courses are only offered during one semester of the year. In addition, engineering technology courses are not traditionally offered during the summer months.
Note 3: Writing Intensive Course
W is the code used to designate courses that satisfy University Writing Across the Curriculum requirements.
Note 4: Technical Elective Courses
Students following the general track must select at least 10 additional credits from the following technical courses: BI SC 003 (3), CHEM 101(3), CHEM 110 (3), CHEM 111 (1), CMPSC 101 (3), CMPSC 201C GQ(3), EET 214 (3), EET 215 (1), EET 275 (3), EET 297 (1-9), EMET 230 (3), IST 210 (4), IST 220(3), MATH 083 (4) or MATH 140 (4), MATH 141 (4), PHYS 151 (3) or PHYS 251 (4).
In addition, select at least 3 additional credits from the following technical courses:
CHEM 110 (3) and CHEM 111 (1), PHYS 151 (3), PHYS 251 (4)
Students who plan to pursue a baccalaureate degree in EMET or EET should contact the program coordinator for the intended program for assistance in selecting technical elective courses.
