All CHC students who are declared engineering majors or who plan to declare an engineering major are required to meet with the Engineering Honors Advisor for a walk-in appointment to discuss the course plan BEFORE submitting to CHC. Please PLAN AHEAD to meet with the Engineering Honors Advisor during these walk-in hours

Upper Division Writing
Students who are planning to do honors research in an engineering lab, should be enrolling in ENGR H199 (honors research) under the engineering faculty who has agreed to serve as the research advisor. This is typically in the senior year. During the second quarter of the project and at the time the honors thesis will be completed, students will need to enroll in ENGR H196W (Honors Thesis) under the same faculty research advisor. Note that ENGR H199 is a prerequisite for ENGR H196W
The ENGR H196W will cover upper division writing for engineering CHC students.
The scheduling office will assist in creating enrollment codes for the sections of ENGR H199 and ENGR H196W under the research advisor. However, please forward any signed Independent Study 199 Forms to the Engineering Honors Advisor first.
Students who are NOT in an engineering research lab, or are not planning to complete the honors thesis, you will need to take ENGR 190W to satisfy upper division writing.
BMEP majors must pass Bio 100 and 2 upper division bio labs to fulfill upper division writing.
