Notes for BS EMET Course Guidelines for 2EET Associate Degree
C-Requirement Courses
All courses listed in bold type require a grade of C or higher for students in either the 2EET or BSEMET programs. (Note that not all of the bold courses are required to earn a 2EET degree.) All courses listed in
bold italic type require a grade of C or higher for students enrolled in the BSEMET program prior to the completion of the Associate Degree program in Electrical Engineering Technology.
Sequential Nature of the Program:
Courses offered during each semester of the EMET program generally build upon material taught in previous semesters. Many courses have prerequisites listed in the Undergraduate Degree Programs Bulletin. Therefore, if you fail to take a course during the targeted semester, you may be unable to schedule courses in subsequent semesters as well. The end result may be a degree program that extends beyond the traditional four years.
Note 1: Math Sequence
Several mathematics sequences are used to reach Math 250 Calculus and Differential Equations, the terminal mathematics course requirement.
High school graduates who test into technical mathematics: Math 22, Math 26, Math 140, Math 141, and Math 250.. Additionally, Math 40 may be used to substitute for Math 22 and 26.
High school graduates who test into calculus: Math 140, Math 141, and Math 250.
Note 2: Science Courses
The science requirement for the AS degree is 6 credits. An additional 3 credits are required for the EMET degree for a total of 9 credits. There are several options based on testing and high school preparation.
Students who test into CHEM 110: PHYS 150 and 151 for the 6 credits needed for the AS degree;
CHEM 110 for the additional 3 credits needed for the BS degree.
Students who do not test into CHEM 110: Take PHYS 150 and 151 for the AS degree. Students continuing on in the EMET program must get approval from the Division Head of Mathematics and Natural Sciences before they can enroll in
CHEM 110. If you did not have high school chemistry, then it is advisable to take CHEM 101 as a prerequisite. Another option is to take
CHEM 101 and 110 in place of PHYS 150 and 151 for the AS degree, then take PHYS 151 for the 3 additional credits needed for the BS degree.
Note 3: US/IL Requirements for GS/GH/GA Courses
Baccalaureate degree students are required to complete six credits in each of three general education areas: Social Sciences (GS), Humanities (GH), and Arts (GA). Of these eighteen credits, one 3 credit course in United States Cultures (US) and one 3 credit course in International Cultures (IL) must be taken to satisfy general education requirements. If a course is identified as both US and IL, it will have the USI code and can be substituted for either the US or IL; students will still need a total of 6 credits. Associate degree students must complete one course in either category.
Note 4: Courses taught only one semester per year
Due to limited faculty resources, several program courses are only offered during one semester of the year. In addition, Engineering Technology courses are not traditionally offered during the summer months.
Note 5: Writing Intensive Courses
W is the code used to designate courses that satisfy University Writing Across the Curriculum requirements.
