NOTES
38
*All courses listed on this form can be included under only one category. There is no double counting.
39
*All courses listed on this form must be taken for a letter grade (unless taken Spring 2019-20, and Aut-Sum 2020-21).
40
*This printed form must be signed by the departmental representative (SSO), with changes petitioned (see UGHB, Petitions page) and initialed/dated by SSO.
41
*Minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) for all courses in ENGR Fundamentals and CS Core, Depth, and Senior Project (combined) is 2.0.
42
*Students without prior programming experience should first take CS106A. The major otherwise requires at most 95 units.
43
*AP (or IB/GCE) test credit for use in the major can be confirmed by checking your MAP record in the Bachelor of Science Mathematics, Science, and/or Fundamentals categories.
44
*Transfer credits in Math, Science, Fundamentals, & TiS must be approved by the SoE Dean's office. Transfer credit information and SoE & departmental petitions are available at https://ughb.stanford.edu/transfers-ap-exceptions. Transfer credits in CS Core, Depth and Senior Project must be approved by the Computer Science office.
45
*Courses must be taken for the number of units on the Program Sheet. CS 103, 106B, 107, 109, 111 and 161 must be taken for 5 units.
46
( 1 )MATH 19/20/21 or equivalent (10 units AP BC, or transfer, with placement into MATH 51/CME 100) is acceptable. If 6-8 units AP or IB credit are used, must take Math 21 (21 may not be skipped using Math Diagnostic Placement results).
47
( 2 )Math electives: Math 51, 52, 53, 104, 107, 108, 109, 110, 113; CS 157, 205L; PHIL 151; CME 100, 102, 104; ENGR 108. Restrictions: CS. 157 + Phil 151 may not be used in combination to satisfy the Math electives requirement. Students who have taken both Math 51 & CME 100 will receive only 8 units credit in the major due to overlapping material.
48
( 3 )Any course of 3 or more units from the SoE Science List (see Courses page at ughb.stanford.edu), PSYCH 30, or AP Chemistry may be used. The exception is that a second mechanics or E&M course or the equivalent test credit may not be used as the elective (unless it is 61 or 81).
