- Marine Lab Information: For details about the mission, location, and activities of the Marine Lab see the Duke Marine Lab web site.
- WRITING 20: University Writing Program, required in first year.
- SS-H: Social Sciences & Humanities, 5 required semester-course electives, appropriately distributed. The course ENV 176, Marine Policy, currently under development (Aug 2005), is anticipated to be cross listed as a Public Policy and as a Political Science course and to qualify as a SS-H course.
- CHEM 21L: AP credit CHEM 19 is also acceptable.
- PHYSICS 61L & 62L: Matriculating students who have AP credit for PHYSICS 61L (but not 62L) take PHYSICS 62L; those who have AP credit for PHYSICS 61L and 62L take PHYSICS 63L; and international students who have credit for the equivalent of PHYSICS 51L & 52L take PHYSICS 143L.
- STA 113 is recommended but students may substitute MATH 135 or ECE 255.
- EE Concentration Electives: Four courses selected from the set approved for the EE program. Courses must be selected from at least two areas, and at least two courses must be from the same area. The illustrated sample program chooses ECE 141 and 142 as a Concentration pair, from the Control Systems and Robotics area, so only two additional Concentration courses are needed. Students may wish to substitute another course for ECE 142 while at Beaufort, select a Concentration course different from ECE 141 in their Junior Spring semester, and complete the Concentration requirment by using one of the Senior Electives.
- Approved Engineering Design Elective: Approved Electrical Engineering Design Elective, required in Junior or Senior year. Currently ECE 123, 135, 154, 164, 251 and 261 are approved. The same course may not be used to complete a concentration requirement and count as a required Design Elective.
- Independent Study: Accepted for Duke BSE course credits and the one elective ECE course, but not for other required courses.
