Common Substitutions

  • CSIS 5 for AE 30

Issues

  • No articulation for ENGR 10, which covers also GE Area E
  • AE needs a MATLAB course for programming, equivalent to AE30. Students who substitute CSIS 5 for AE30 will need to learn MATLAB on their own to do well in upper division AE controls courses (AE157, AE168, etc.)
