    • Title (60 characters maximum)
    • Courses (the list of courses that the student proposes to complete for the Engineering Science major concentration)
    • Total number hours (minimum 24, maximum 36)
    • Program concentration rationale
Approving an Engineering Science Program Concentration Course Plan
  1. Review for the following:
    • The Program Concentration proposal/change follows the guidelines listed at the top of the form.

Approval Workflow/Timeline

The student’s adviser is the first step in the workflow for Engineering Science Program Concentration Course Plans. Approved requests route to the Engineering Science Division Director and the Office of Academic Services for the School of Engineering. Upon final approval, the Office of the University Registrar adds the course plan to the student’s degree audit.
