College of Engineering General Education Requirements

General Education Requirements*  
The General Education Program is designed to give engineering students an opportunity to take a set of courses that complement their technical studies and satisfy their intellectual and/or career interests. All engineering majors must take ten (10) courses. Three of the ten (10) courses are designated as follows and must be completed by all majors: 
Designated liberal studies course requirements:        
""
ENGL 101 Expository Writing and Reading 3.0
""
ENGL 102 Persuasive Writing and Reading 3.0
""
ENGL 103 Analytical Writing and Reading 3.0
""

The remaining seven (7) General Education course requirements are not designated and can be chosen from the disciplines listed below. Any course of three credits or more selected from the categories below meets this requirement, except as noted.

ACCT, AFAS, ANTH, ARBC, ARCH, ARTH, BLAW, BUSN, CHIN, COM, CJ, CULA, CUST, DANC, ECON, ENGL (except 101, 102, 103 & 105), EAM, EDUC, FIN, FREN, GER, GREC, HIST, HRM, HRMT, HUM (except 106, 107, & 108), IAS, INTB, ITAL, JAPN, KOR, LANG, LEAD, MGMT, MKTG, MUSC, OPM, OPR, ORGB, PHIL, PHTO, PE, POM, PSCI, PSY (except 330, 337, 364 & 365), RELG, RUSS, SCRP, SOC (except 364 & 365), SPAN, SMT, STAT, TAX, THTR, WMST, WRIT The list is a sampling of courses; other courses may be accepted upon advisor approval.

Environmental Policy (ENVP) courses can be chosen by Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Environmental Engineering programs.

Architectural engineering students’ liberal studies requirements are slightly different. The three-course ARCH 141–ARCH 143 (Architecture and Society) sequence, offered through the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts and Design, is required of all architectural engineering students.

Some engineering majors require a study in basic economic principles, the history of the engineering profession and its impact on modern society, and ethical standards required for the practice of the profession. Check curriculum guidelines for requirements. Any required economics, history or ethics courses will replace general education requirements on a course-for-course basis.

General Education electives must be non-technical. All Computer, Math, Engineering & Science related courses will NOT count as General Education electives

*This policy regarding General Education requirements applies to all College of Engineering programs with the exception of Computer Science and Software Engineering.
