¹ College credits can be given for high school pre-engineering program Project Lead The Way’s (PLTW’s) Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) course as a possible substitution for Engineering Graphics (ENGR 1133 ), if the following three conditions are satisfied:

• student scores 80% or above overall in the course and
• an approval of the PLTW affiliate director faculty member at Georgia Southern.
• student scores 70% or above on a Georgia Southern administered competency exam.

² While Calculus I (MATH 1441 ) is 4 credit hours, only 3 credit hours will count toward fulfilling the “Mathematic & Quantitative Skills” Area. The remaining 1 credit hour will be applied toward Specific Requirements.

³ While Calculus II (MATH 2242) is 4 credit hours, only 3 credit hours will count toward fulfilling the “Technology, Mathematics and Sciences” Area. The remaining 1 credit hour will be applied toward Specific Requirements.

⁴ Manufacturing Engineering Co-Op (MFGE 4091 ) (1 credit) may also be used to satisfy elective credit(s) and taken for repeat credit with an established co-op rotation of the same employer with advanced approval of the department chair.

⁵ Bridge to Engineering ( VIP 3001 ) (1 credit) can be utilized to fulfill elective credit requirements. However, it cannot be retaken for additional credit hours.
