Suggested Plan of Study (BSE)
Planning Your Course Progression
Engineering courses (ENGR, ESCI, ELEC, AERO, MECH, CESC) are offered four times a year. Other supporting courses (i.e., Calculus, Physics, English, etc.) are offered more frequently. The suggested Plan of Study shows a sequence of courses for a typical four- year program. There are four terms a year. In a given year there are four tracks that these terms are offered. For example, the first track starts with term 1 in August and then progresses with term 2 in October, term 3 in January and then term 4 in March. The other three tracks follow the same progression but with different start dates for the first term as indicated in the figure. BSE students should follow this approach when planning their course progression.
