The number preceding each course title is divided into three parts.
The first two digits are the administrative code (standing for a
faculty or a school), the next three digits are the subject code, and
the final three digits are the course code.
Administrative Codes
The School of Engineering administrative code is 14. For a complete
list of administrative codes used in this catalog, see the beginning of
the Programs of Study for Liberal Arts Students section.
Subject Codes
A subject code comprises the third through fifth digits in all course
numbers and indicates the subject matter of the course. Courses with
the following subject codes are listed in this chapter. (This list does
not constitute a list of majors.)
125 Biomedical Engineering
127 Bioresource Engineering
150 Ceramic Engineering
155 Chemical and Biochemical Engineering
180 Civil and Environmental Engineering
332 Electrical and Computer Engineering
440 General Engineering
540 Industrial and Systems Engineering
650 Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Course Codes
The course code comprises the sixth, seventh, and eighth digits in all
course numbers. Course codes from 100 to 299 are used for introductory
and intermediate undergraduate courses usually offered in the first two
years. Codes from 300 to 499 indicate advanced undergraduate courses
normally taken in the junior and senior years. Courses coded from 500
to 799 are graduate courses and are described in the catalog of the
Graduate School-New Brunswick.
Two course numbers separated by
a comma indicate that each term may be taken independently of the other
(example: 14:150:411,412). Two course numbers separated by a hyphen
indicate that satisfactory completion of the first term is a
prerequisite to the second term (example: 14:332:221-222); the first
term may be taken for credit without taking the second, except where a
statement is added to indicate that both term courses must be completed
in order to receive credit.
Credits awarded for the successful
completion of each course are indicated in parentheses following the
course title. The notation BA indicates that the number of credits is
determined by arrangement with the department offering the course.
Unless otherwise indicated, a course normally meets for a number of
lecture hours equal to the number of credits to be earned. Special
hours or modes of class, other than lecture, are usually indicated in
italics below the course title.
Consult the Undergraduate Schedule of Classes for the name(s) of the faculty member(s) teaching each course.
