Typical degree combinations
Double majors
A double major is the awarding of one degree with two majors (e.g., the student completing a double major in mechanical engineering and aerospace engineering earns one B.S. degree). Students must be accepted into each major and fulfill all requirements of each major in addition to satisfying all university requirements. This may be completed within the usual 120-credit minimum. Following conferral of the degree, the student’s transcript will note one baccalaureate degree and two majors.
CEN/EE double major
Follow all requirements for CEN major and add:
PHY 207/257 Physics III w/Lab (5 credits total)
EE 203 Circuits II (4 credits) - fall or spring
EE 311 Electrical Devices and Circuits (3 credits) - spring only
EE 353 Electronic Circuits Lab (3 credits) - spring only
EE 324 Applied Electromagnetics (4 credits) - fall or spring
EE 408 Senior Seminar (1 credit) - fall only
Complete EE 352 instead of EE 312
CSE 115, 116, 191, and 250 from CEN satisfy the EAS 140, EAS 230, free elective, and EE 101 requirements in EE; the CSE 442 and CSE 453 sequence required in CEN satisfies the EE TE w/Design requirements in EE; CSE 305 and 341 in CEN satisfy the two EE/CSE requirements in EE; CSE 421 and MTH 309 from CEN satisfy the two unrestricted TE's in EE.
ME/ASE double major
Follow all requirements for ASE major and add:
MAE 311 Machines I (3 credits)
MAE 364 Manufacturing Process (3 credits)
MAE 494 Design Project (3 credits)
Applied Math Elective (3-4 credits)
Math minor
Follow basic math requirements for any engineering major and add MTH 309 and two additional upper level math courses.
Acceptance criteria: Minimum GPA of 2.5 in MTH141-142, and 241 (or approved transfer equivalent). Complete an application for a minor (available in the Math Undergraduate Office) and submit it together with a copy of the most recent UB DARS report. Note: A GPA of 2.0 is required in these courses for departmental recommendation for a minor in mathematics.
MTH141 College Calculus I
MTH142 College Calculus II
MTH241 College Calculus III
MTH306 Introduction to Differential Equations
MTH309 Introductory Linear Algebra (Applied math elective in ME/CIE/CEN, TE in ASE/CE/EE, Required in IE)
Two additional 300/400-level mathematics electives from within the Department of Mathematics (sometimes can fulfill free elective or TE requirements)
Other typical combinations include Chemistry (minor or major), Physics (minor or major), or the biotechnology minor through the BIO dept (for chemical engineering majors).
