The purpose of this requirement is to enable student to develop expertise in a particular area of the ISE discipline.
The purpose of this requirements is for students to further develop technical skills and to provide the opportunity to focus on a particular technical area by taking electives with significant technical content.
Courses must be selected as follows:
The purpose of this requirement is for students to broaden their knowledge of engineering science outside ISE.
Two credits required if MATH 2114 Introduction to Linear Algebrais taken, three credits required if MATH 1114 taken.
Students may not use a given course to satisfy both Free Elective and Pathways requirements: any given course can satisfy one requirement only.
Only free electives and courses offered on a P/F basis only (e.g. FA 2004 Creativity and the Artistic Experiencemay be taken under the P/F grading option.
Each student must complete at least 124 semester credit hours with a minimum overall GPA of 2.00 and a minimum in-major GPA of 2.00. (In-major GPA is determined from ISE and required STAT classes.)
Course offerings are subject to change and the availability of sufficient resources. Students should confirm course offerings in advance with their department.
Consult the pathways courses table: https://www.pathways.prov.vt.edu/about/table.html, Pathways courses need to be completed prior to graduation.
Please see https://www.eng.vt.edu/em
Students must have had 2 years of a foreign language in high school or one year at the college level (6 credit hours) of the same language. College-level credits used to meet this requirement do not count towards the degree.
University Policy 91 outlines university-wide minimum criteria to determine if students are making satisfactory progress towards the completion of their degrees. The ISE Department fully supports this policy. In addition, upon completion of two semesters as an ISE major, students must have:
Prerequisites for each course are listed after the course title. Students must earn a C- or better in ISE, STAT, and MATH courses which are pre-requisites for subsequent ISE courses. Prerequisites may change from what is indicated. Be sure to consult the University Catalog or check with your advisor for the most current requirements. There are no hidden pre-requisites in this program of study.
Course offerings are subject to change; students should consult an ISE academic advisor or the University Timetable for course offerings each semester.
