NOTES:

"(%) Students should take 66.1100, but can replace it by the 1-credit 66.2960 PROGRAMMING IN C++ plus a 3-credit" advisor-approved TECHNICAL ELECTIVE.

"(&) Aeros in Class of 2000 are still expected to take these two courses, rather than the pilot THERMAL/FLUIDS" SYSTEMS I and II sequence.

"(#) Alternative: 65.441 NUMERICAL COMPUTING, but note its prerequisites of 66.1100 and some familiarity with" matrix algebra.

"(@) Students may replace this pair of courses by the new 37.4050 MODELING & CONTROL (99F), plus" some FREE ELECTIVE if necessary for the total prgoram credit hours not to go below 134 credit hours.

(+) Alternatives: 37.4860 INTRO HELICOPTER DESIGN and 37.4950 TRANSTM VEHICLE DESIGN.
