Note:

  1. Courses chosen in major must be different from courses used for Core Curriculum requirements.
  2. To receive this degree, students must earn a minimum grade of “C” in all required mathematics and science courses.
  3. Some courses are only offered during fall semester or spring semester, but not both. Please plan accordingly.
    1. + indicates course only taught in the spring semester
  4. *Recommended Core Curriculum course. Other Core Curriculum courses may satisfy the same requirements.
  5. **MATH 2320  is a prerequisite or corequisite for ENGR 2305 /ENGR 2105 , however, students intending to transfer to Texas A&M University (TAMU) will not be able to transfer credit for MATH 2320 . TAMU will accept TJC’s Calculus I-III sequence (MATH 2413 , MATH 2414 , and MATH 2415 ) and MATH 2318 , though.
  6. While this plan identifies courses that will apply toward most undergraduate engineering programs, it’s important that students work with a TJC Academic Advisor each semester, as well as with the transfer university early, to ensure they’re on track and taking courses toward their specific engineering discipline.
