+: Fulfill University requirements. Need 2CP, 2FA, 2HL, 2SS.
*: ME Colloquia A-D are organized such that ‘all’ students are in a colloquium during the same semester, to allow for overlapping scheduling of talks and activities, and collaborations between the different grade levels (for example co-ops can give talks to younger students, SrD teams can present to juniors, …). Colloquia will be a catch-all for a variety of activities (including technical writing, professional skills, career exploration, lab experiences and demonstrations) that students complete (and document in a portfolio). Restricted to Spring (defined as a non-supported co-op semester)
^ Choose from a ‘select from’ list, and each student must have a total of 32 hours to meet ABET requirements.Select from will include: CHEM II, PHYS II, BIOS 3010 Human Anatomy, BIOS 3015 Human Anatomy Lab, BIOS 1300 Principles of Human Anatomy and Physiology I, and others.
Note: Supported co-op semesters may be restricted to Summer and Fall
Totals:
Total hours (128 based on current): / 127–131 (including colloquia)Total Courses: (50 + 2 ME colloquia, current) / 41 + 4 ME colloquia
