Explanation of Course Codes

Each course is identified by a six character code.

Example: EEE341

Code Explanation
EEE The first two letters indicate the Department or subject of the course; in this example it is Electrical Engineering. The third letter indicates the language in which the course is given, either E for English, as in the above example, or F for Français (French).
341 The three-digit course numbering indicates exactly which course in a subject area is referred to. The first digit indicates the year in which the course is normally offered. The second and third digits indicate the departmental course number.
Other Codes used in conjunction with course descriptions
Credit The number of credits students will receive upon finishing the course; these credits can be either academic or military. Normally 1 credit is given for a "one term" course and 2 credits for a "full year" course.
Contact Hours
(3-2-5)		 The estimated number of weekly working hours the course requires The first number is estimated classroom hours; the second estimated laboratory hours; the third estimated at-home study hours.

Note: Credit for one-half of a full-year course may be granted and in such cases a seventh character will augment the course identification code. Addition of the digit "(1)" represents completion of the Fall Term portion of the course while the addition of the digit "(2)" denotes completion of the Winter Term portion.
