C-Requirement Courses
All courses listed in bold type require a grade of C or higher for students in the EMET program.

Notes for BS EMET Course Guidelines

Sequential Nature of the Program:
Courses offered during each semester of the EMET program generally build upon material taught in previous semesters. Many courses have prerequisites listed in the Undergraduate Degree Programs Bulletin. Therefore, if a student fails to take a course during the targeted semester, he/she 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: Math Sequence
High school graduates who test into technical mathematics: Math 81, 82, 83, 210 and 211. Additionally, Math 40 or 22 and 26 may be used to substitute for Math 81 and 82.
High school graduates who test into calculus: Math 83, 210 and 211 or Math 140, 141, and 250. Students who complete either of these sequences to fulfill the math requirements will have additional technical elective credits to complete. Please see an advisor for more information.

Note 2: Science Courses
Students are required to complete nine credits of science courses. At least two selections from the following list must be completed:

  • PHYS 150 GN(3) or PHYS 211 GN(4) or PHYS 250 GN(4);
  • PHYS 151 GN(3) or PHYS 212 GN(4) or PHYS 251 GN(4);
  • CHEM 110 GN(3) and CHEM 111 GN(1);

Students may complete no more than one selection from the following. (If the student completes three selections from the first list, no additional courses are required):

  • BIOL 011 GN(3) and BIOL 012 GN(1);
  • BIOL 110 GN(4);
  • BIOL 141 GN(3);
  • CHEM 112 GN(3) and CHEM 113 GN(1);
  • EGEE 101 GN(3);
  • EGEE 102 GN(3);

Note 3: US/IL Requirements for GS/GH/GA Courses
Baccalaureate degree students are required to complete six credits in each of three general education areas: Social Sciences (GS), Humanities (GH), and Arts (GA). Of these eighteen credits, one three-credit course in United States Cultures (US) and one three-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 substituted for either the US or IL; but not both. Additionally, students must select three credits of GH or GS from the following courses: STS 200 (3)(GS), STS 233 (3)(GH), or STS 245 (3)(GS)(IL).

Note 4: 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 5: Writing Intensive Course
W is the code used to designate courses that satisfy University Writing Across the Curriculum requirements.

Note 6: Technical Elective Courses
Approved technical elective courses are:

  • CMPSC 201C (3) or CMPSC 121 (3);
  • EMET 401 (1), EMET 402 (2), EMET 403 (1), EMET 430 (3),
  • MATH 220 (2), MATH 231 (2), STAT 200 (4)
  • ENTR 300 (3), ENTR 320 (3)

Other courses may be accepted toward technical elective credits. Please check with your advisor for more information.
