College/Program Notes: The plan above is a suggested guide to ensure that all General Education, College, University, and Major requirements are met within 4 years of study. Students may deviate from the suggested placement of General Education courses, although the M and W/C requirements should be completed during the first year of study. General Electives ensure that a student accumulates the minimum credit hour totals needed for graduation. Students must have a minimum of 128 total credit hours, of which a minimum of 42 credit hours must be upper division (300 or 400‐level courses). Depending upon other elective choices made, students may not need as many general electives as indicated above or may need additional electives. For information about acquiring a Math Minor by completing one additional course, STA 323 Statistical Methods, visit: MCE Math Minor or email: impt.engr.info@csuohio.edu to request guidance. University Notes: General Education Key + Notes General Ed. Electives can be taken in any order except ESC 282 (Engineering Economy) after MTH 182 (Calculus II) as well as PHL 215 (Engineering Ethics after ESC 102 /ENG 102 (Tech. Writing/College Writing II.) INTRO = Introduction to University Life Requirement (one course required) SS = Social Sciences Requirement (2 courses required, one of which must be focused outside the US) W/C = Writing/Composition Requirement (two courses, required (each C or better) A&H = Arts & Humanities Requirement (2 courses required, one of which must be focused outside the US) M = Mathematics (two courses required, each C or better) DIV = Social Diversity Requirement (2 courses required, one US Diversity and one African American Experience) NS = Natural Sciences (two courses required, one of which must have a lab – NS&LAB) WAC/SPAC = Writing/Speaking Across the Curriculum Requirement (3 courses required, one in the major) ESC 100 is waived for transfer students with 60 credits or more CAP = Capstone Requirement * Introduction to Co-op Orientation is highly recommended, yet not required. **of the SS and A&H courses, at least one must be focused on Africa, Latin America, Asia or the Middle East (ALAAME)
