Rodman Scholars take a different Intro to Engineering course in their first and second semesters. The two main decisions students will need to make, is where to start in the Applied Math sequence and whether to take Science, Technology and Society course in the fall or spring.

Computer Science considerations Considerations for Enrollment Subject & Course # Lecture Format Lab Format Open to students of all programming backgrounds CS 1110 Three 50 minute lectures One mandatory 75 min lab Need prior programming experience CS 1111 Two 75 min lectures Open lab Restricted to no programming experience CS 1112 Three 75 min lectures Built-in lab There are three different entry-level CS courses, each targeted at a different student audience. Each of the courses provides an introduction to the basic principles and concepts of programming and software development methods. All four of the courses fully prepare students for the second computing course – CS 2110. CS 1110 is the traditional computer science introductory course. The course has no prerequisites and is open to students of all programming backgrounds. The course meets four times per week (three 50-minute lectures and one mandatory 75-minute lab). The labs provide an opportunity for students to get more hands-on practice with programming and are led by teaching assistants. This type of lab experience is called a "closed" lab. CS 1111 is restricted to people with prior programming experience in any programming language. Students are expected to be familiar with variables, assignment, decision and loop statements and parameter passing. Students with sufficient knowledge of methods, classes, and arrays are encouraged to take the placement test. The course meets twice per week, plus an "open" lab. An open lab means you do the lab assignment on your own at a time and place you find convenient. CS 1112 is restricted to people with no prior programming experience. There are three 75-minute course meetings per week. Students are required to attend every class meeting and must bring a laptop to class. Each class meeting integrates lecture activities and active learning with laboratory experiences. Instructor (Prof. Jim Cohoon) permission may be required to enroll in this course.

Standard schedule exceptions: Common AP Advanced Placement Score Course Exemption Credits Biology 5 BIOL 2100, 2200 8 Chemistry 4 or 5 CHEM 1610, 1620 6* Computer Science A CS 1110 3 Physics C (Mechanics) PHYS 1425 3* Physics C (Elec. And Magnetism) PHYS 2415 These are the most common examinations that provide course credit for first year engineering classes. Other types of advanced standing are awarded by the University in subjects such as foreign language, history, government, etc., including some IB credit; see the Undergraduate Record on the Registrar’s website for full details. *No laboratory credit is given. See the Undergraduate Record for full list.

Standard schedule exceptions: Rodman Rodman Scholars take ENGR 1410 in the fall and 1420 in the spring instead of ENGR 1624. Rodman Scholars will register for ENGR 1410 in Fall and ENGR 1420 in Spring, instead of the ENGR 1624 “Introduction to Engineering” course. Rodman scholars have two options for physics: (a) take the usual engineering physics sequence of PHYS 1425/1429 in Spring of the first year, then take PHYS 2415/2419 in Fall of the second year, or (b) take the physics sequence for physics majors, PHYS 1610/1620/2610, starting in Fall semester of first year. If you choose to take the usual engineering physics sequence starting in Spring of the first year, then you should register for CS1110, a science elective, or an HSS elective in the Fall.

Placement (not credit) Applied Math: Wahoo Welcome (day before classes start) Computer Science: see Computer Science department Chemistry: Not needed for engineering students Language: See College of Arts and Sciences Language Placement Students without AP Computer Science credit, but who have some experience with programming, should take the placement test offered through the Computer Science department. The placement test allows a student to take a course that requires CS 1110 as a prerequisite, but it does not grant course credit. Those credits would have to be made up elsewhere (see your advisor for details). Most students take the test during the first few days before classes start for the semester. For more information, please see: http://cs1110.cs.virginia.edu/placement.

Academic Deadlines Deadline Date Course Add Sept. 11 Non-Engineering Course Drop (includes CHEM/PHYS) Sept. 12 Engineering Course Drop Oct. 16 Withdraw Oct. 23 Engineering Major Declaration Early March Prior to the DROP deadline, students may drop courses as long as it does not reduce their course load below 12 credits. We recommend students considering dropping a course consult with their advisor about potential academic consequences. Dropped courses do not appear on academic transcripts. Withdrawal from a course after the drop date requires that a student petition their advisor and obtain the endorsement of the Associate Dean. In general, one withdraw is given to each student without much scrutiny. After that, every subsequent withdraw petition is more difficult to get approved. A withdrawn course will appear on your academic transcript with the notation W, but will not affect your GPA. Drop deadline varies by school! You will follow the academic calendar associated with the School in which the class is offered. This means that for SEAS courses (e.g., ENGR 1620, STS 1500), the drop deadline listed above is relevant. For courses in the College of Arts and Sciences (the “College”), the drop deadline is different!
