Questions for Planning Future Classes: Helpful Resources

We have gotten a number of emails with requests for help planning future quarter classes, especially with concerning area of interests. Below are some commonly asked questions followed by helpful resources that will assist you. These are the resources you can use now to start looking at the classes you’re interested in taking next year. You can put the classes you are interested in taking in your MyPlan under the appropriate quarter as a reminder and for easy access and reference.

  1. “What do you recommend me to take if I’m interested in…(construction, structures, etc.)”
    • Check out the BSCE Advising Handbook in the “Senior Year Planning” sections (pages 12-18). Faculty-recommended courses are listed by area. Although this is a general guideline, it will help you to see what’s generally recommended. Remember that undergraduates can take courses in “areas of interest(s)” –but they do not specialize their BSCE degree in a specific area (that’s for grad school).
  2. “How do I know when certain classes are offered so I can plan for next year?”
  3. “What times/days will the course I want be offered in 2016/2017?”
    • We post that information (when it becomes available) on the quarterly “Preliminary Time Schedule”, which is listed on the Schedule Planning Resources page by quarter/year. We try to have working drafts of our preliminary time schedule for future quarters several months in advance of the start of the quarter. Autumn 2016 will appear online soon.
  4. “How do I submit an add code or waitlist request?”
