¹: Grade of "C" or better in all EE courses is required for graduation.
²: At least 9 credit hours of Technical Electives must be selected from among courses administered by SEECS at the 300 level or above. Remaining Technical Electives may be selected from courses in CEM, Mathematics, or Physics at the 300 level or above as approved by the student's advisor. Math 308 History of Math does not meet the requirements of the Technical Electives. A maximum of three credits of EE 490 Electrical Engineering Problems is allowed as an independent study, it can count towards one of the Electrical Engineering or non-Electrical Engineering elective requirements, it cannot be double counted. 2 credits of EECS 397 Cooperative Education (40 hours/week) is equivalent to 3 credits of the EE Electives with S/U grading, maximum 4 credits of EECS 397 is equivalent to maximum of 6 credits of EE Elective.
³: The Math/Science elective must be selected from among courses in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Geology that are not already required as part of the program.
⁴: Students must ensure all appropriate pre-requisites are met prior to registering for all courses in the curriculum.

Some of the following courses may be waived by completing: ENGR 102

Licensure Requirements

UND Engineering programs are designed to help prepare students for various careers in engineering and may serve as an important step in the pathway for licensure. Students enrolled in, and planning on graduating from, one of the College of Engineering & Mines’ ABET-accredited majors are invited to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, a multiple-choice, knowledge-based exam administered by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES).

The FE Exam covers subject matter taught in a typical baccalaureate engineering program accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. Students may choose from computer-based exams in chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and other disciplines. Professional licensing in every U.S. state and territory requires, as the first step, that a student successfully pass the FE exam.

After passing the FE exam, in order to receive licensure in the field students must obtain at least four years of experience deemed acceptable to their licensing board and successfully pass a Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam. The PE exams go beyond testing academic knowledge and require knowledge gained in engineering practice. If you are planning to seek professional licensure or certification in an engineering-related field, it is strongly recommended that you contact the appropriate licensing entity in the state in which you are located or plan to locate to in order to seek information and guidance regarding additional licensure or certification requirements.

General Education Courses

Essential Studies (ES) is UND’s program in general education. Along with your required major courses, it helps form the core of your UND undergraduate education. Your ES courses focus on essential skills employers require including communication, critical thinking and problem solving.
