Notes a Select from the following: Any Physics course numbered 325 or higher, including PHYS/MSE 37 and MSE 315, 357, 372, and 51. b Electives need to be carefully selected to ensure that a student s degree comprises at least 39 credits of upper division courses ( level). The additional credits needed to satisfy yhe 36 credit minimum for the UWEC Physics major can be satisfied by engineering courses that transfer as 300 level physics courses or above or by UWEC major courses and electives. 300 level or above engineering courses will be considered individually as 300 level physics electives by the UWEC Physics Department Chair. Students need to be aware of the degree requirements of the institution they plan to transfer to for the engineering degree. That institution will have their own degree requirements. Courses taken at UWEC can be used to meet those requirements but it requires careful planning. Students should consult with their advisor regarding their academic plan at least once every semester. Students should try to satisfy the Service Learning Requirement while at UW- Eau Claire.
