  2. Information about the student appears in the Student Information section.
  3. The student’s selection of Initial submission or Change to a previous submission is reflected.
  4. The Title and Coursework section reflects the following:
    • Title (60 characters maximum)
    • Courses (the list of courses that the student proposes to complete for the Engineering Science major concentration)
    • Total number of hours (minimum 24, maximum 36)
    • Program concentration rationale
  5. Any comments left by the student’s adviser will appear in the Engineering Comments section.
Approving an Engineering Science Program Concentration Course Plan
