Students in any engineering major other than Computer Science or Software Engineering must take 10 liberal studies courses in total. They are divided into 2 categories: Designated and Undesignated electives.

Designated Electives: ENGL 101, ENGL 102, ENGL 103. Each major department also has other designated elective requirements - Please see the numbered list below.

Undesignated : Any course listed within the PDF file below meets this requirement. Two of these courses must be in the same discipline (also known as a sequence).
