Some students may choose or be required to take designated courses in order to prepare adequately for success in the required curricula outlined in subsequent sections of this chapter of the catalog. These courses may include, but are not limited to, the subject areas of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, computer programming, and English. Selection of these courses is on the basis of placement tests administered upon admission to the School of Engineering. They are viewed as necessary additions to the required curriculum and do not replace any of the designated curriculum courses.
