- Addition of three departmental mathematics courses: ETGR 2171, ETGR 2272 and ETGR 4272/ETGR 5272; and the content realignment of the existing ETGR3171 course as noted in the Proposed Catalog copy.
- The mathematics sequence for the Construction Management, Civil Engineering Technology, and Electrical Engineering Technology programs is revised to remove MATH1100, begin the required mathematics sequence with MATH1103 and incorporate MATH 1121 or ETGR 2171, ETGR 2272 and ETGR 3171 as program requirements. ETGR 4272 will be offered as an upper division major elective/early entry master’s course for the MSCFM, MFPA and proposed MSEEM.

*Course selected based on Math Placement Test.
** General education courses are chosen jointly by student and advisor to ensure that all graduation requirements are met. Non-AAS degreed students must satisfy University and Department General Education requirements. AAS degreed students must satisfy Department General Education requirements.
^^^^Completion of the Construction B&M (business/management) Core is required: ETGR 1100, ECON 2101, ETGR 3222, ACCT 2121, ACCT 2122, BLAW 3150, and MGMT 3140. ECON 2101 doubles as Construction B&M Core and Social Science Elective in sophomore year. ETGR 1100 and ETGR 3222 serve as replacement prerequisites to INFO 2130 and ECON 2101 for Construction students taking MGMT 3140 and FINN 3120 (core elective). Construction B&M Core courses must be completed with a grade of C or better.
^^Core Elective may be Technical or Construction B&M. Technical Core Electives must be courses within the Department of Engineering Technology and approved by advisor (ETGR, ETCE, CMET, ETFS, ETEE, ELET, or ETME). Construction B&M Elective must be: MKTG 3110, FINN 3120, CMET 4127, or approved by the construction faculty advisor.
^Writing elective available upon successful completion of ENGL 1103.
