SPARK 10 RECOMMENDED FOR ENGINEERING MAJORS
All Fall 2024 first years must complete SPRK 001 or SPRK 010 with a C- or higher by the end of Spring 2025.
SPRK 001 or 010 fills a General Education (GE) requirement.
- Most first years will take SPRK in Fall 2024.
School of Engineering (SOE) faculty recommend that engineering majors take SPRK 010 (rather than SPRK 001) and take it in Fall 2024.
- SPRK 010 was developed specifically for SOE majors but is open to first years in any major.
- All first years are allowed to take either SPRK 001 orr SPRK 010.
ENGINEERING 091 AVAILABLE IN FALL 2024

ENGR 091 has typically been offered only in spring semester and is recommended to be completed in the first year.
The great news: on 6/17/24, School of Engineering faculty added a section for Fall 2024!
- If you are an engineering major and have room for this 2-unit required course, consider taking it in Fall 2024.
- Class size is limited to the first 1,000 engineering majors.
- ENGR 091 will be taught online.
- If you are not able to take ENGR 091 in Fall 2024, you could take it in Spring 2025.
