22	Course Prerequisites: Engineering program is based on students being Calculus ready. Precalculus courses do not apply to Engineering degree requirements upon transfer. If a student needs to complete MTH 161/162 or MTH 167 first, it is recommended that they start in the Associate of Science in Science or Computer Science, prior to enrolling in Engineering.

24	For any classes related to computer languages selected by institution, the language will be indicated as a “Topic” in SIS and thus be on student transcript. The language impacts the transferability of some courses or the requirement of having a specific language experience. Directions are on the final tab of this curriculum plan.
