Yes, but be sure to note that the EE and CpE curricula are built upon a four semester prerequisite sequence of calculus and differential equations. If you are placed into College Algebra (M-121) or Precalculus (M-151), you will need to pass the sequence of math courses necessary to reach Calculus I (M-171) as soon as you can. The math classes you take prior to M-171 will appear on your official transcript, but cannot be counted toward your EE/CpE degree requirements. If you cannot take M-171 the first semester, you should select courses that will fulfill the university “Core 2.0” requirements, or choose classes and electives that do not have a calculus prerequisite (i.e., CS 160 or CS 201 have co-requisite M-151, and professional elective ACTG-201 has prerequisite M-121).
