Sample Course Schedule
All potential engineering majors should begin engineering coursework in the fall semester of their first year. However, the precise order in which courses should be planned depends upon the student’s initial mathematics placement. The following is an example of a typical course schedule for Mechanical Engineering majors during four years of study:

- Students who placed in multivariable calculus
- Students who placed in calculus
- Students who placed in precalculus
These pathways are effective for students matriculating in September 2022.
