Notes:

^1. Students intending to pursue a 4-year MET degree have the option to take MAT 143 and MAT 161 (Calculus I). Higher mathematics courses may also be substituted, such as MAT 162 (Calculus II) and MAT 264 (Differential Equations). Other variations are also acceptable based upon AET Department Chair approval (after prior review and approval by the MET program coordinator).

^2. Students intending to pursue a 4-year MET degree should take PHY 103 or CHE 171 . Students who have completed calculus can take PHY 105 . PHY 101 cannot be used since the SUNY Gen. Ed. Natural Science elective must also be a Liberal Art. Other SUNY Gen. Ed. Natural Science variations are also acceptable based upon AET Department Chair approval (after prior review and approval by the MET program coordinator).

^3.Any additional MET course with advisor approval. Other variations are also acceptable based upon AET Department Chair approval (after prior review and approval by the MET program coordinator).
