*
Choose a Specialty Area: Aerospace Physics, Biophysics, Computational Science, Electromechanical System Design, Materials
Science, Quantum Science & Engineering, Renewable Energy, or Individually Designed (consult with advisor).
You may change your specialty area at any time in consultation with your advisor.
45
**All courses applied toward the major must be taken for a letter grade (unless a letter grade option is not offered by the instructor), and a grade of 'C-' or better received. Minimum required GPA for all courses in Fundamentals and Depth combined is 2.0.
46
***AP test credit can be confirmed by checking your MAP math, science, and/or Fundamentals categories. Transfer credits in Math, Science, Funds., & TIS must be approved by the SoE Dean's office. Transfer credits in Engr Depth must be approved by the Directors of the program. Information & petitions at https://ughb.stanford.edu/transfers-ap-exceptions/transfer-requests.
47
( 1 )
The prerequisite to enroll in Math 51 is Math 21, or a score of 5 for AP Calculus BC, or a suitable score on other external tests, or transfer credit for Math 19/20/21, or a waiver.
48
( 2 )The Math 50 (or 60CM) series is a corequisite for PHYSICS 61, 71, 81.
49
( 3 )
Students may be able to place out of Physics 41 and/or 43 based on advice from the Physics Placement Diagnostic.
50
( 4 )Although not recommended, students who have sufficient lab preparation may petition to substitute an advanced course (3+ units) that emphasizes laboratory skills for PHYS 61L, 79L/89L, and/or 81L/71L, or petition to use PHYS 42 and/or 44 in place of PHYS 61L or 81L/71L.
51
( 5 )Students who matriculated prior to Aut '22 may instead complete either PHYSICS 41+42, 43+(44 or 67), 45+46, and 70,
OR PHYSICS 61+62, 63+64, and 65+67. Edit the Science section to indicate actual courses enrolled in/completed.

EE 142 and EE 242 may not be offered every year.
82
^^^
ENGR 1, Introductory Seminars, Sophomore College courses, and student-initiated courses are not allowed to fulfill the 35-unit SoE requirement.
83
( 6 )Recommended courses are EE 261, PHYSICS 112, CS 109, CME 106. Also qualified are EE 263, any Math or Statistics course numbered 100 or above, and any CME course numbered 200 or above, except CME 206.
84
( 7 )May also use as ENGR Fund but units count only once. Alternatives: EE 101A, EE 101B, PHYSICS 104 or 105 or APPPHYS 207.
85
( 8 )Approved WIM courses are AA 190, BIOE 131, CS 181W, CS 182W, EE 134, EE 153, EE 155, MATSCI 161, or MATSCI 164 (see recommended courses for each Specialty on the majors page), or students in any specialty may use ENGR 102W, PHYSICS 191, or ENGR 199W (available only to students pursuing an independent research project).
86
( 9 )Alternative approved courses are MATSCI 310 or ME 346A; may not be offered every year.
87
