MIE Writing Exemption Policy
The Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department (M&IE) Programs each have a writing course requirement as part of the curriculum. M&IE students must complete a college level writing intensive course totaling 3 or more credits, regardless if exempt from the Core WRIT 101W requirement.
Preapproved Courses to Meet This Requirement Are:
WRIT 101W |
College Writing I |
WRIT 201 | College Writing II |
WRIT 221 | Intermediate Technical Writing |
HONR 202IH | Text & Critics (Only if not being used for IH Core) |
HONR 400-409 | Honors Seminar (Only if not being used for IS or IH core or for EGEN 310R requirement) |
Even if students are exempt by the University from taking WRIT 101W, one of the preapproved writing courses is required for each M&IE major. Students can petition to take a free elective course to meet the writing credits if the course contains a significant writing component. The student will provide a statement explaining their reason to count the petitioned course towards the writing credit requirement and a syllabus of the proposed course to the M&IE departmental academic advisor for approval.
