When General Chemistry I or II is not available, they are replaced by Principle of Chemistry (lecture and lab) and Industrial organic Chemistry (lecture and
lab) with permission from Physics Department.
2 Engineering Electives are any 300 or 400 level Engineering courses approved by the academic advisor to form a sequence of courses in a specific technical
field of study (in some cases, this may also include one or more courses in Science, Math, or Business necessary to complete an engineering sequence, such
as fuel cell sequence).
