IGE OR G ENERAL E DUCATION IGE is discussion based with a humanities focus Papers and projects Exploring ways to substitute EGR 100 for IGE Area E course. If interested in IGE, sign up for IGE 120 in the fall (*if you have more than two AP exams in English/Foreign language, music, art, or history, contact IGE dept) Traditional General Education Pick and choose what you want It is your decision which path you want to take. Go with the one you feel is the best fit for you.

Engineering Student Handbook (College of Engineering website) E-catalog Campus policies Course information including pre-requisites Withdrawal policy First 5 days without a “W” to add/drop By the 15 th day of instruction can withdraw online with a “W” After the first 15 days, it is very difficult to withdraw! Must have a SERIOUS/COMPELLING REASON. CORE GPA and CPP GPA. DPR (Degree Progress Report) contains Core, CPP, and overall GPA A CADEMIC P OLICIES

C HANGE OF M AJOR No change of majors during Orientation. Want to change out of engineering? For now… Take GEs for the Fall OR Go to the desired major department to find out their requirements Non-impacted Majors in Engineering (ET/IME) Go to the desired major department to find out their requirements Impacted Majors in Engineering (AERO, CHE, CIVIL, ECE, ME) Go to the desired major department to find out their requirements Higher GPA and Math requirements, more competition

MDPT IS NOT THE ELM A score of 3 or higher on AP Calculus AB or BC or College Credit can place you in a higher math than the MDPT. Must take the MDPT: SAT/ACT Scores Can only be placed in MAT 105 (Algebra) or 106 (Trigonometry) if you have an SAT math score of 550+ or ACT of 23+ ELM Scores ELM or an exemption does not automatically place you in MATH

AP M ATH S CORE P LACEMENT CALCULUS AB Score 3, 4, or 5 (credit for MAT 114) Register for MAT 115 or (ET Majors) MAT 130 CALCULUS BC Score 3 (credit for MAT 114/115/130) Register for MAT 116 or (ET Majors) MAT 131 Score 4 or 5 (Credit for MAT 114/115/116 or 130/131) Register for Math 214 or (ET majors) MAT 132

Q UESTIONS ???

Mechanical Engineering The following majors should stay here for U-direct:

U-D IRECT : A FOUR YEAR PLAN Required for all Engineering Technology and Mechanical Engineering Majors Four year plan to determine class offerings and to help student keep on track towards graduation Important to keep it up to date Registration Assistants will assist you in completing it. Need to take into account APs that you have taken

T IPS FOR U-D IRECT In right column, right click on the quarters (i.e. Fall 2013, Winter 2013) and click on add course or add term You will need to add MAT 12, MAT 105, MAT 106, MAT 112 if you plan on taking those courses At the bottom, you will need to add quarters: “Winter 2017” and “Spring 2017”) If your AP or transfer work does not show up, you can add them by right clicking and selecting add course. Please have your plan looked at by an Orientation Assistant before you leave.
