Admitted students deemed by the program’s admissions committee to possess a background in either science, mathematics, and/or related disciplines may be asked to enroll for one or several online foundational courses offered in sub-terms (7 week duration) prior to beginning the MS SENG program. These foundational courses are designed to provide admitted students the prerequisite statistical, mathematical, programming, and/or basic engineering knowledge and skills to engage the content of the MS SENG program. These foundational courses include, but are not limited to:

1. Numerical Methods of Engineering
2. Foundations of Programming and Computational Tools
3. Foundations of Engineering

The MS SENG program’s admissions committee will determine the need for admitted students to enroll for and complete a foundational course, or courses, on a case-by-case basis. Note, more foundational courses may be created as necessary and determined by the graduate program director to provide admitted students the knowledge and skills necessary to engage the MS SENG program's content.
