** PHYS4980. Senior Seminar (1)

 

In addition the student must:

• take the Major Fields Examination in their last semester, and
• show proficiency in a computer programming language. Proficiency is shown by writing a sufficient program as determined by the Chair of the Department, or by receiving a passing grade in a college level COMP language class.

Neither of the following courses is required; however, they are highly recommended for engineering students and at least one of them will count as a general education requirement in Social Science.

ECON2410. Microeconomic Analysis (3)

ECON2420. Macroeconomic Analysis (3)

For students pursuing a career in the microelectronics industry, PHYS4810. Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics (3), CHEM2210. General Chemistry I (3) and CHEM2220. General Chemistry II (3) are strongly recommended.

* A minimum of one credit is required, but a maximum of three credits in ENGR4970 will be allowed toward the major.

** PHYS4980 must be taken at Northwest Nazarene University.
