If there is no reply, this will be my final comment on the subject. Chem 212 and 216 are not required courses or even recommended courses. They are one of ~30 optional electives that could be used for the “support electives” requirement, the vast majority of which have nothing to with organic chem. Many colleges permit any science class to meet this type of science electives requirement, but that doesn’t mean that I’d recommend choosing the class that has the reputation for being most challenging among all the pre-med requirements (organic chem) for a non-premed EE to fulfill this elective.</p>

Again, this is not a requirement. All Cal Poly majors must meet a “Society and the Individual” general education requirement, which can be fulfilled by a variety of courses. While one small portion of the 40 credits of general education could be fulfilled with an economics course, it can be done with non-economics classes as well, and has nothing to do with the EE requirements. If you want to fulfill general education requirements, you’ll fulfill them at larger portion of colleges with classes in other areas besides economics. </p>
