This sample schedule reflects choices that are suitable for students who may prefer to start with a precalculus course (Math 125) before starting the calculus sequence. Some courses require permission of a student’s advisor and instructor when taken in this sequence.
This is just a sample and each student should discuss his or her interests with the academic adviser to choose a schedule that best meets the student’s objectives.

* Both ES230 and ME 210 may be taken in either fall or spring. Students studying abroad in the spring semester should take both in the fall semester. Students not spending a semester abroad may take either or both classes in the spring semester.
** ME 240 includes significant instruction and experience in MATLAB programming. This programming experience is a prerequisite for ME 331. Students who complete ME 240 at another institution or wish to enroll in ME 331 prior to completing ME 240 must pass a MATLAB programming proficiency test administered by the Mechanical Engineering department.
