Important notes
Additional Elective options: To complete the Electrical Engineering Science Elective requirement, students can choose to take one of the following courses:
- BIO 126 Intro to Biotechnology
- BIO 127 Intro to Biotechniques
- BIO 145 Intro to Forensic Science
- CHM 114 Fundamentals of Chemistry II
**Students should speak with an Engineering Student Support & Services (ES3) advisor at UMass Dartmouth about proper selection of elective courses. Ideally you will want to choose courses from the following UMass Dartmouth departments to meet these requirements: ARH, ECO, ENL, HST, HUM, MUS, PHL, PSY, SOA, SSE. Use UMass Dartmouth’s equivalency database to see how Bristol courses transfer.
Students looking to complete the BS degree in two years should plan to start at UMassD in the fall semester.
