General Institute Requirements (GIRs)

The General Institute Requirements include a Communication Requirement that is integrated into both the HASS Requirement and the requirements of each major; see details below.

Summary of Subject Requirements	Subjects
Science Requirement	6
Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) Requirement; at least two of these subjects must be designated as communication-intensive (CI-H) to fulfill the Communication Requirement.	8
Restricted Electives in Science and Technology (REST) Requirement [can be satisfied by 1.000 and 18.03 in the Departmental Program]	2
Laboratory Requirement (12 units) [can be satisfied from among 1.101 and 1.104 or 1.106 and 1.107 in the Departmental Program]	1
Total GIR Subjects Required for SB Degree	17

Physical Education Requirement
Swimming requirement, plus four physical education courses for eight points.

Departmental Program

Choose at least two subjects in the major that are designated as communication-intensive (CI-M) to fulfill the Communication Requirement.

Elective Subjects with Engineering Content ²
Students are required to take at least four Restricted Electives selected from subjects offered within or outside CEE to form a coherent program of study under supervision by CEE faculty.		48-51
Units in Major		168
Unrestricted Electives ²		48
Units in Major That Also Satisfy the GIRs		(36)
Total Units Beyond the GIRs Required for SB Degree		180

The units for any subject that counts as one of the 17 GIR subjects cannot also be counted as units required beyond the GIRs.

¹	Students are expected to take 6-unit 1.013 twice.
²	In order to reach the 180 units beyond the GIRs required, students may need to take more than 48 units of Restricted and/or Unrestricted Electives. See the catalog for a list of CEE subjects. Direct requests for more information to cee-apo@mit.edu.
