Mathematics and Science Prerequisite Courses
In order to graduate within four years, first-year students who are considering majoring in engineering must take the following mathematics and science prerequisite courses:
Requirements for the Major
Electrical Engineering Concentration Courses
Electrical engineering concentration courses may be taken in any order allowed by prerequisites, but consideration should be given to the effect this will have on selection of a capstone design project in EG 497 /EG 498 during the senior year. The senior design topic should be derived from the 300- and 400-level engineering courses taken prior to beginning the senior design course sequence. These courses and the 400-level engineering courses taken during the senior year provide the technical basis for the project. The junior and senior years should be planned during the second semester of the sophomore year when the student formally selects their specific engineering concentration. Concentration courses in electrical engineering are listed below:
An example of a typical program of courses follows:
Other Course Options
With the approval of the department chair, other engineering courses may be pursued through the Baltimore Student Exchange Program (BSEP). These courses must be at the junior/senior level, and care must be taken to ensure that institutional course prerequisites are satisfied.
Study abroad programs are possible, depending on the courses that are available. Study abroad programs require review and approval of the student's major advisor.
Key:
* Required for major.
**Terms may be interchanged.
*** Required for major and eligible for double counting toward a second concentration.
Notes:
- Engineering cannot be taken as an interdisciplinary major.
- Students must complete the diversity core requirement through a designated diversity core, major, or elective course (see Diversity Core Requirement under Curriculum and Policies).
Second Engineering Concentration
It is possible for a student to concentrate in both mechanical and materials engineering. They can add the second concentration by completing three rather than four of the concentration courses listed in the second concentration area. The student's single engineering elective can be used to take one of the second concentration courses. Substitutions for these concentration courses require the permission of the department chair.
The reason that only three courses are required for the second concentration is that a course from the first concentration may be double-counted as detailed below:
- A student concentrating in mechanical engineering may count EG 423 toward the materials engineering concentration.
- A student concentrating in materials engineering may count EG 485 toward the mechanical engineering concentration.
