Notes:
1 There are 12 credits of humanities and social science (HU/SS) electives, six must be in humanities (HU) and six must be in social science (SS).
2 These three credits may be taken from the math (MA) or science (BI, CH, PH, SC) area. Consult the Academic Catalog for prerequisites and limitations. Math electives include the following: MA 330 , MA 343 , MA 380 , MA 381 , MA 382 , MA 383 , MA 387 .
3 All students must choose one of the three specialty sequences of classes beginning in the winter quarter of the junior year (BSS- Building Structural Systems; BMS- Building Mechanical Systems; or BEPS- Building Electrical Power Systems).
4 Prerequisite courses vary by specialty. See Academic Catalog for prerequisite courses.
5 Refer to the Academic Catalog for a detailed list of requirements for entrance into senior project sequence.
6 A “technical elective” is defined as any AE, CM, CV, engineering, mathematics, science, business administration, technical communications or user experience course, 200/2000 level or higher that is not already required in the curriculum (or equivalent courses from other departments). General engineering (GE), humanities (HU/SS), nursing (NU) or nursing-specific courses/electives, orientation (OR), ROTC (AF, AR, NS) or undergraduate research (UR) courses are not eligible as technical electives.
7 Students have the option to either complete a three-course capstone option (AE 8900, AE 8910, AE 8920) or to take a project course (AE 8000) and an additional two technical elective courses.
8 Choose graduate technical electives from the approved list. Consult with Graduate Program Director if you wish to take a graduate course not on the list. Permission granted on a case-by-case basis.
9 Graduate electives are any course numbered 500/5000 or higher in any discipline for which student has necessary prerequisites. Can include graduate business courses or graduate math courses
10 Admission to the MS portion of the BS/MS AE program in the student’s senior year is contingent upon maintaining a minimum overall MSOE GPA for 3.0 or above. Otherwise, the student will have to provide additional evidence of his/her ability to succeed in the MS program, including letters of recommendation, and admission is then at the discretion of the Program Director.
Students in the Air Force ROTC program may make the following substitutions: AF 3131 for EN 441 , AF 3132 for AE 4412 , AF 4141 for SS 455 (an SS elective).
Students in the Army ROTC program may make the following substitutions: AR 3100 for EN 441 , AR 3200 or AR 3300 for AE 4412 and AR 4100 for SS 455 (an SS elective)
Students are required to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam in their fourth or fifth year, as a condition of graduation.
The BS in Architectural Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
