*Notes

Indicated courses will be taken through NC State's Distance Education Program.

Please visit NC State's General Education Program (GEP) Requirements for more information.

Transfers to NC State as E 102 and counts as a GEP-Interdisciplinary Perspectives course.

  • Transfers to NC State as E 101.
  • UNI 102 taken in tandem with EGN 101 satisfies UNCW’s UNI 101 First Year Seminar course required for all first semester freshmen.
  • The preferred Engineering Statics course is CE 214, but it is not offered via DE. MAE 206 is an allowable substitute.
  • Hydraulics is a prerequisite for several 300 & 400 level CE courses. Students may want to consider taking CE 282 in the summer preceding the Junior year.
  • See NC State Catalog for list of approved Technical Electives and Engineering Science Electives and consult ENE advisor.
  • 2 additional credit hours of English composition are required to transfer to the COE from UNCW.
