Common Substitutions
- CSIS 5 for AE 30
Issues
- No articulation for ENGR 10, which covers also GE Area E
- AE needs a MATLAB course for programming, equivalent to AE30. Students who substitute CSIS 5 for AE30 will need to learn MATLAB on their own to do well in upper division AE controls courses (AE157, AE168, etc.)
