• For the General Education Electives, students must select one course from the list of approved courses in two of the following categories: Arts & Humanities (AH), Social Science: Societies and Institutions over Time (SIT); Social Science: Scientific Study of Human Behavior (SSHB).
• One course should be designated as Diversity and Global Awareness (D).
• One General Education Elective must be taken in a Writing Intensive (WI) section.
• Computer competencies are included in various courses in this program. Thus, completing the program automatically satisfies the computing requirement.

NOTE: Students planning to transfer to BS in Electrical Engineering Technology programs should consult with the 4-year institution and the program advisor before selecting courses.
