Course Flowsheets

These interactive guides provide a semester-by-semester outline of the courses within a curriculum in a "flowsheet" format. The flowsheets enable students and advisors to visualize the pre-, co-, and post-requisites associated with a course. This tool provides a means for students to understand how courses within a curriculum are linked and provides guidance regarding course scheduling.

The effective academic year (AY) refers to the academic year a student is admitted to the major. Academic years listed with a red font represent years in which a curriculum revision was implemented. Please see the Undergraduate Catalog for detailed information regarding effective academic years.

Students can obtain the requirement term (map to effective academic year) associated with their major through the SEAS Portal.

If you have any issues using the flowsheets tool or need assistance, please contact the SEAS Office of Academic Affairs to meet with an academic advisor.

General Notes:

Effective Fall 2015, students can combine instances of MAE 496, MAE 498, and MAE 499 courses to equal 3 credits for a Technical Elective. Students can use a maximum of 6 credits of these courses to satisfy degree requirements.

Students cannot use both EAS 305 and MTH 411 toward Mechanical Engineering degree requirements under any circumstances.

Students pursuing a double major in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering should follow the Aerospace flowsheet, and add the following Mechanical courses to their academic plan: MAE 311, MAE 364, MAE 377 (if admitted to ASE effective fall 2016 or later), MAE 494, and a Professional Track requirement (in addition to MAE 434). Please contact an academic advisor for assistance incorporating these courses into your plan.

These online flowsheets have been prepared to assist you in determining the standard course flow for each major. While efforts have been made to ensure their accuracy, final responsibility for meeting graduation requirements resides with you. Using this tool does not take the place of meeting with your academic advisor.
