Program Requirements

Major Requirements

¹

A minimum C grade must be earned to fulfill the writing-intensive requirement.

²

Students who desire to change their major to Aerospace Engineering or Mechatronics Engineering should takePHY 23101andPHY 23102．Failing to do so may result in having to retake physics to complete your degree.

³

Applicants to this program should understand that this is a math-intensive program. Students admitted to the program are expected to demonstrate prerequisite knowledge on a math placement exam (the ALEKS exam) prior to starting their first semester. Students who do not to obtain the minimum score required to place into the required math courses are at risk of delaying graduation.
