Courses Qualifying for Engineering Distribution Areas
Mathematics
All Courses designated "MA."
Advanced placement established by AP exam or through passing WPI advanced courses (see page 276) also qualify.
Basic Science
All courses designated "PH," "CH," "BB," and GE 2341.
Engineering Science/Design
The following courses may be applied to the "Engineering Science and Design" distribution requirement for each respective engineering major:
BME: All courses designated "BME" (except BME 3110) and CE, CHE, ECE, and ME courses at the 2000-level or above.
CE: All courses designated "CE". Also ES 2503 andES 3004.
CHE: All courses designated "CHE." Also ES 3002, ES 3003, ES 3004, and other courses approved by the Chemical Engineering Department. See page 97, and consult with your academic advisor for details.
ECE: All courses designated "ECE" (except ECE 3601) and ES 3011 may be included in the six-unit ECE area distribution requirement.
ME: All courses designated "ME" except ME 3601.
IE: OIE courses including OIE 2500, OIE 3401, OIE 3405, OIE 3420, OIE 3450, OIE 3460, OIE 3501, OIE 4410, and OIE 4460.
In addition, engineering majors selecting "Engineering Science/Design" courses from outside their major may choose appropriate activities from any of the following:
All courses designated ES, ECE, CHE, ME.All OIE courses listed above (for ME majors only).All courses designated as CE except CE 3022.
All courses designated as CS except CS 1101, CS 1102, and CS 3043.
(Electrical and Computer Engineering majors are restricted to these courses at the 2000-level or higher.)
All ABET engineering programs require six units of Engineering Science and Design.
All graduate-level courses may be counted in the appropriate categories. Maintained by webmaster@wpi.edu
