Major overview sheets and 4-year plans

Below are resources about each engineering major including major overviews that describe the field of study, what graduates go on to do, and what makes the major distinct, 4-year sample educational plans, and links to the UW course catalog for each department.

Updated 4-year planning sheets will be available for all engineering majors at the start of the quarter.

Please note: While the UW no longer offers ENGR 231, each department has identified alternative options for satisfying writing requirements. Thank you for your patience!

Take into consideration:

• Your actual course schedule will vary based on your academic background and course availability.
• Visit the Engineering Areas of Impact to find meaningful general education courses that complement the areas you’re interested in.
• New! Use the Interactive 4-year planning sheet to help you plan your courses and set yourself up for academic success.
