 Return to: Department of Engineering
An engineering major must satisfactorily complete the following required courses for the bachelor’s degree: Engineering 4, 72, 79, 80, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 101–102, 111–113, 122, and 124. In addition, three upper-division engineering technical electives are also required, and seniors must submit a final Clinic report that is acceptable to the project’s faculty advisor. Students should note that many electives are offered in alternate years.
To keep the option open for majoring in engineering, a student should have taken Engineering 4 and 79 before the fourth semester. Any proposed variation from this program must be discussed in advance with an engineering advisor.

Engineering Science Stem
The engineering science stem consists of five required courses (Engineering 82, 83, 84, 85, and 86) that collectively embody the fundamental “applied science” knowledge base needed by a broadly educated engineer practicing in the foreseeable future. A half course in engineering mathematics (Engineering 72) is also required for the engineering major.
Systems Stem
The systems stem is a sequence of three required courses (Engineering 79, 101, 102) that provides analysis and design tools to model and interpret the behavior of general engineering systems. The sequence is multidisciplinary in approach, enabling students to gain a unified view of the entire spectrum of engineering disciplines.
Design and Professional Practice Stem
The design and professional practice stem includes five required courses that focus on working in teams on open-ended, externally-driven design projects that, over the course of the curriculum, encompass conceptual design, preliminary (or embodiment) design, and detailed design. Hands-on exposure to professional practice begins with students undertaking challenging design problems in the first year with an introduction to conceptual design, engineering drawings, and manufacturing techniques (Engineering 4), continues with a laboratory course in experimental engineering (Engineering 80), and culminates with three semesters of Engineering Clinic (Engineering 111–113).
Three Upper Division Electives
- Three upper division electives (numbered higher than 100, others by petition. Not to include courses listed above).
