Additional recommendations are as follows:

* Engineering students must choose the History sequence option, taking the first course in Semester 1 and the second in Semester 4. 

* In Semester 2, students may choose only from the following Literature options: ENG 251, ENG 252, ENG 271 or ENG 272. 

* Variability in credit hours of electives in EGR is due to concentration areas. Total Credit Hours required to graduate in this degree plan is 61 credit hours minimum. Most complete with somewhere in the range of 61-64 credit hours. Contact an Engineering advisor prior to beginning your first semester course work.
