What counts as “upper level”? September 4, 2011
Posted by Hosoi in Classes, General Information, Guidelines & Requirements.trackback
Your concentration gives you an opportunity to develop a high level of expertise in a subject area that is of particular interest to you and, as such, the classes in your concentration should be upper level classes. One of the questions I’m frequently asked is “How can I tell if a class is sufficiently advanced to count in the concentration?” There is no easy answer to this question since subject numbering and organization varies from department to department. However, there are some classes that are never allowed in the concentration. These are great classes that are worth taking, however they should be taken as unrestricted electives rather than as concentration courses.
The following classes can NOT be counted in your concentration:
- 1.00: Introduction to Computers and Engineering Problem Solving
- 2.00AJ (same as 16.00AJ): Fundamentals of Engineering Design: Explore Space, Sea and Earth
- 2.00B: Toy Product Design
- 2.038J (same as 6.055J): The Art of Approximation in Science and Engineering
- 6.00: Introduction to Computer Science and Programming
- 14.01: Principles of Microeconomics
- ESD.00: Introduction to Engineering Systems
