Diversity Requirement

Those courses with the course number preceded by the designation (d) are diversity courses. Students must include at least two diversity courses (8 units), which may be selected from Block C or from the General Education Upper Division Themes as described in the following section. For most engineering majors, this requirement is met in the General Education Upper Division Theme.

Minimum Average Grade

A minimum C grade average in general education is required of all students following the 1987 - 1989, or any later catalog.

Since the biology requirement is met in the upper division theme, select between the themes of C and F. Courses in each of these themes are distributed among three areas including: Natural Sciences and Mathematics, Social Sciences and Humanities. You must complete one course from each of the three areas in the chosen theme. The course selected in the Natural Sciences and Mathematics must be a biology course.

EXAMPLE: If you choose Theme A: Challenge of Change in the Developing World, as described below, you can take GEOG333, ECON360 and TVF324. You cannot take GEOG333, GEOL351, and PHIL334 to meet this requirement.

C. Gender in the Diversity of Human Experience

This theme provides an integrated inquiry into the implication of gender, exploring its meaning, significance, and status within the diversity of human experience and representations of sex and gender specific to the multitude of cultures and societies making up the human experience, both historically and today.
