1All SSE Freshman are required to take ESE 112 and 113.  Since ESE 112 and 113 may only be taken in Freshman year, students who transfer into SSE without these courses must replace them as follows:

(i) CSE 110 and

(ii) ESE 116 and

(iii) an SEAS 100 level course taken in the Freshman year or an engineering course that is not used to satisfy requirements elsewhere.

2M&T and dual degree (with Wharton) students are encouraged to substitute for ESE 400 another ESE course at 300 level or higher in consultation with their advisor.

3Must be ENGR course at 200 level or higher.

4Must be ENGR course at 300 level or higher.

5A cohesive selection to prepare for work in stated focus area.

6Must be ENGR course.

7EAS 303 is to be taken in the Sophomore or Junior year.  M&T and other dual degree students, who are required to take an Ethics course for their second major, may petition to use this Ethics course in place of EAS 303.
