Fall Semester 2010

• Pre-registration next week (Apr 12-16)

• Advisor – Don‟t have one in Engineering? Get one!

– Must see advisor if GPA < 2.5 to get a PIN

– Good idea anyway to see regularly

• Flowchart – Get one (from office or web)

– Mark it up with courses you‟ve taken

Minors and ASIs

• Minors – You can get a minor in any other dept outside Engineering

– Also McBride, Bioengineering & Life Sciences (BELS), Energy, and Humanitarian Engineering

– Takes 18 hours of courses – see bulletin for details on which courses count

• ASI (area of special interest) – Similar to minor, but takes only 12 hours

– You can get an ASI in another specialty in EG

• Notes – You have to declare minor or ASI with the registrar

– You can use your free electives towards requirements

– Can count courses you need to take anyway (but only 3 hrs in EG)

(Mostly Old) News • EGGN 386 (Engineering Electromagnetics)

– Going to offer in spring semesters only

– If you need it to graduate in fall, see your advisor

• PEGN 450 (Energy Engineering) – We are dropping this course as an electrical elective

– Petroleum Engineering is no longer offering

• CSCI 101 (Computer Science 101) – New Distributed Science Core Course you can

choose

– For Distributed Science Core you must take Physics 200, plus your choise of two from the current list
