Engineering Checklist
To affiliate with the Computer Science major, complete the affiliation documents available at the forms webpage.
Here are some comments with respect to the requirements for the CS major in Engineering:
- A course satisfying the technical writing, probability, or vector requirement (i.e., all requirements represented as “underlines” on the checklist below) may also be used to satisfy another requirement. For example, EngrD 2640 may be used to satisfy the distribution requirement and the technical writing requirement, or MATH 4710 may count as a technical elective and satisfy the probability requirement, or CS4700 may count as a CS elective and towards the completion of the AI vector.
- Apart from the exceptions just given, no course can be used to satisfy two or more requirements.
- Courses at the 3000+ level used for the External Specialization or Technical Electives usually have prerequisites. Choose distributions and advisor-approved elective courses accordingly.
- Some substitutions are allowed, e.g., CS 3420/ECE 3140 for CS 3410. Other substitutions for required CS courses require field approval.
- Courses used for the CS 4000+ electives category must be taken under the CS rubric. For example, CS 4302 is cross-listed with INFO 4302. This course must be taken as CS 4302, not as INFO 4302, to be used for the CS 4000+ electives category.
- Crosslisted courses parented by Computer Science cannot be used for the specialization.
Check the courses page http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Courses/ListofCSCourses/index.htm
and click on a course link to see the cross-listing status. For example, CS 4620 (crosslisted with ARCH 3704) lists CS as the parent department, so it cannot be used to satisfy the specialization requirement. In addition, LING 4474, INFO 4302, INFO 3300, INFO 4300, and INFO 5300 are not eligible for the specialization.
Warning: This checklist, and all others found on this website, are only intended for illustration purposes. You should use this web version to track your degree progress. Instead, you should use the appropriate hard-copy checklist for your class year. A blank copy of the most recent checklist is made available to new affiliates at the time they apply to the CS major. An updated copy of each student's personal checklist is kept on file in 303 Upson Hall.

VECTOR(s): All CS majors must complete at least *one* vector. See 'Declaration of Vector' form for details about vectors. Vector courses are not additional courses, but are placed, where appropriate, throughout the CS checklist, in areas such as: liberal studies (e.g. CS 2850), CS 4000+ electives, Technical Electives, External Specialization, Major- and Advisor-Approved Electives
