General Engineering
Engineering students who are undecided about their major are classified as “general engineers.” Since most courses in the first year are common to all engineering disciplines, a general engineering student will still be able to make progress toward an engineering degree, even though a major has not been selected. During this year, the student should be actively investigating the options available in engineering by talking to faculty members and practicing engineers, attending meetings of the student chapters of professional societies, and doing library research. All general engineering students are expected to transfer into one of the engineering majors by the beginning of their second year. While classified as a general engineer, a student would normally take the following courses. The student’s instructor in GE 101 Introduction to Engineering can provide additional guidance.
