    The certification requirements need to meet Pennsylvania Department of Education standards and are subject to change. All students are strongly recommended to check with the TUteach Advisor in the College of Science and Technology to affirm the requirements that pertain to their specific major. In addition, students should check the Undergraduate Bulletin web site for the most current information about these programs, or the TUteach web site. It is also recommended that all students meet with an advisor before enrolling in classes specific to these majors and leading to certification as a teacher. This is to assure that a candidate's intended program of study will be compatible with the new requirements.

    2

    MATH 2041, MATH 2941, MATH 2045, or MATH 2121 may be used to fulfill the Mathematics elective at the 3000 level or above.

    3

    Most engineering concentration courses require either Chemistry or Physics as a prerequisite, so students should choose the course that best prepares them for their intended track. The Environment and Bioengineering tracks cannot be completed without the chemistry sequence, and the Robotics and Energy tracks cannot be completed without the physics sequence.

    4

    All students are required to take a minimum of one credit.
