Undergraduate CENG Curriculum
This is the undergraduate ABET Accredited curriculum.
Every course (except CENG 1 and CENG 199) must be taken for a letter grade.
All CENG courses are taught only once per year and are scheduled to be consistent with the curriculum shown below.
Thinking of changing majors to CENG? If you change majors after the start of the junior year courses in the major (see sample CENG curriculum chart) then plan on not graduating for another 3 years. Pre-requisites for courses will not be waived and courses are only offered once per year. If you change into the major before the start of the junior year courses, you need to take both the sophomore and junior year courses in the major concurrently in order to graduate in two years (see CENG curriculum chart for Transfer Students).

1Humanities and social sciences (HSS).
2 Five advanced chemistry electives must be selected from among: Chem. 131, 132, 133, 140A-B, 114A-B (or BIBC 100, BIBC 102), and 120 A-B, and 143A. (Note: Students may not receive credit for both BIBC 100 and Chem 114A, or BIBC 102 and Chem 114B).
Two recommended options are Chem. 140A-B, 114A-B (or BIBC 100, BIBC 102), and 143A for those interested in biochemical/organic, and Chem. 131, 132, 133, 120A, and 140A for those interested in inorganic/materials.
3The approved equivalent courses for ECE 109 are Math 183, Math 186, Math 181A (Math 180A is a prerequisite), MAE 108, ECON 120A and BIEB 100 (BILD 3 is a prerequisite).
4 The electives in an area of specialization (AS) must be upper-division or graduate courses in engineering, based on the pre-approved sequences. Otherwise, the selections must receive prior approval of the department.
5 If a student chooses process control as the area of specialization, CENG 120 can be replaced by a relevant course within the approved set of courses for specialization in process control.
6If students do not require these additional HSS courses to meet their college requirements, they may substitute an unrestricted elective in order to meet the minimum 194 unit graduation requirement. The twelfth HSS course is intended only for students who have additional college requirements to fulfill. To meet ABET requirements, students must have up to twenty-four units in the arts, humanities, and social sciences, not including subjects such as accounting, industrial management, finance, and personnel administration.
