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. Packaging engineering courses are included under subject code 440, General Engineering. (This list does
not constitute a list of majors.)
117 Bioenvironmental Engineering
125 Biomedical Engineering
155 Chemical and Biochemical Engineering
180 Civil and Environmental Engineering
332 Electrical and Computer Engineering
440 General Engineering
540 Industrial and Systems Engineering
635 Materials Science and 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 semester may be taken independently of
the other (example: 14:155:491,492). Two course numbers separated by a
hyphen indicate that satisfactory completion of the first semester is a
prerequisite to the second semester (example: 14:332:221-222); the
first semester may be taken for credit without taking the second,
except where a statement is added to indicate that both semester
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.
