AOE Advising
The Department of Aerospace and Ocean Engineering has created on its website the Advising Section to provide students with information on
many aspects of their courses requirements. The content in this site is actively updated, so make sure to check this page often.
The AOE department requires that students earn a grade of minimum C- or better in all AOE courses that are prerequisites to
required AOE courses. Note that the C- rule does not apply to course offered by other departments. Students without a minimum of C- in a course have the right to submit a petition for an appeal of the C- Policy.
