TOTAL: 51 semester hours

The following mathematics courses or equivalent skills are prerequisites for some of the required courses on this major: MTH 132 (4) [OR MTH 136 (5)], MTH 175 (3) and MTH 223 (3). Students with incomplete high school preparation may find it necessary to complete additional mathematics courses.

Notes:

• The Computer-Integrated Manufacturing curriculum consists of extensive laboratory work which involves a close physical relationship with tools, moving machinery and electrical equipment necessitating specific safe practices. Examples include voltage checks, use of safety guards, and continuous observation of associated visual alarms, caution signs and auditory signals.
   
• As you select from our majors and minors remember that you are pursuing a degree, and must meet all the degree requirements as well as the major and minor requirements. Students pursuing the Computer-Integrated manufacturing majors are required to meet with an IET (or CPS) advisor during the first semester of attendance at CMU.
   
• A maximum of six semester hours of Credit/No Credit may be used on departmental majors or minors. Credit/No Credit courses are identified in the course offering guides.
