Laboratory required. (*Starred topics are optional, though generally included for 10 semester credits.) Prerequisite: Calculus I. (EGR 913, if needed, should include heat and fluids.) Students should finish the entire course sequence at the same school before transfer, since topics are covered in different orders by different schools.
