*ORE affiliates are required to complete MATH 191,192 and 294 (or their subject matter equivalents). Either MATH 293, CS 280, or MATH 304 can be used to satisfy the fourth semester mathematics requirement. Students should discuss with their advisor which of these three courses is most appropriate to their future program of study in ORE. The following consideration should be borne in mind.
i.) MATH 293 (differential equations) is essential for advanced study in financial engineering. Also, MATH 293 is a pre-requisite for PHYS 214, thus students who do not take MATH 293 must plan to take CHEM 208.
(ii) CS 280 provides an introduction to discrete structures and algorithms of broad applicability in the field of operations research, particularly for fundamental models in the areas of optimization, production scheduling, inventory management, and information technology; it is also a pre-requisite for certain upper-class Computer Science courses in the areas of information technology and algorithmic analysis.
(iii) MATH 304 covers fundamentals of formal proof techniques; this material is strongly recommended for students who intend advanced (Ph.D-level) study in Operations Research or a related field.
†In addition to the first-year writing seminars, a technical writing course must be taken as an engineering distribution, liberal studies or approved elective.
‡The six courses must be chosen from at least three of the following six groups: (1) Cultural Analysis (CA), (2) Historical Analysis (HA), (3) Literature and the Arts (LA), (4) Knowledge, Cognition, and Moral Reasoning (KCM), (5) Social and Behavioral Analysis (SBA), (6) Foreign Languages (not literature courses). At least two of the six cours¬es must be at 200-level or higher.
§The required 9 credits of Major-complementary courses (outside the Major) are ENGRD 211, the behavioral science, and one Major-approved elective course.
**ENGRD 211 is required by the Major. It is recommended that this course be counted as an engineering distribution.
Note: This engineering checklist is formatted to conform to the general specifications of the College of Engineering. We strongly recommend that you visit 202 Rhodes Hall for an official Operations Research and Engineering checklist.
