▪ Most engineering students will start at MC missing one or more re-requisites for CHEM 131, CHEM
132, CHEM 135, ENGL 102, ENES 100, and MATH 181.
ADVISING NOTES FOR CIVIL ENGINEERING
▪ The appropriate initial chemistry courses will be determined by the student’s score on the Chemistry
Placement exam, mathematics level, AP/IB credits, or transfer credits. Possible courses include CHEM
099, CHEM 131, CHEM 132, or CHEM 135. Either CHEM 132 or CHEM 135 satisfies the required
chemistry credit for UMCP. CHEM 131-132 satisfies the required chemistry credit for UMBC, but CHEM
135 does not.
▪ The pre-requisite for ENGL 102 is ENGL 101 or ENGL 101A. English course placement is determined
by the Accuplacer English/Reading Test.
▪ The co-requisite for ENES 100 is MATH 165 or higher.
▪ The pre-requisite for MATH 181 is MATH 165 (Precalculus). Mathematics initial course placement will
be determined by the Accuplacer Math Test, AP/IB credit, or transfer credits.
▪ UMCP’s ENCE 100, 200, 215, 305 for which MC has no equivalents, must be completed after transfer
or through MTAP.
▪ BIOL 105/BIOL 106, BIOL 108, OR GEOL 101 may be more appropriate than PHYS 263 depending on
your transfer institution.
This UNOFFICIAL document is for planning purposes ONLY and completion does not guarantee graduation.
▪ ENES 221 is only required for Geotechnical/Structures Track at UMCP. ENES 120 is required for
Environmental/Water Resources Track at UMCP.
See an advisor to submit an Application for Graduation the semester BEFORE you intend to graduate.
