SPECIAL NOTES Courses with the * symbol may be satisfied with AP, IB or A-Level exams. See page 18 for more information. GESM#: GESM can be taken from GE categories: A, B, C, or D. Courses listed in the guide are options for a four-year course plan. GE: Engineering students are encouraged to satisfy GE-G and GE-H with a course that also satisfies a Core Literacy. GE-H may be satisfied by AP/IB. Additionally, your GESM course should be taken in categories A, B, C, or D only. See page 17 for more information and consult your advisor for detailed assistance. PHYSICS REQUIREMENT: PHYS 161-163 and PHYS 171-173 are acceptable towards this requirement. AME CAPSTONE: See academic advisor for approved list of courses. TECHNICAL ELECTIVES: Any upper-division course in engineering, chemistry, physics or mathematics. OPTIONAL ELECTIVES: Consult with your academic advisor to explore optional elective courses. These courses are not required.
