Introduction This document is intended to be a guide to the curriculum for VIPER students. Note, however, that for

both your major in the College of Arts and Science (often referred to with the acronym for the whole

School of Arts and Sciences, SAS) and the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) major, you

will have a major/faculty advisor and should consult with them about the requirements for your majors.

First Semester Recommended VIPER Schedule

Since VIPER is a dual degree program, courses taken by VIPER students in the first semester will largely

depend on the majors chosen within SAS and SEAS. Below is a rough guideline. Students should choose

tentative majors in both SAS and SEAS in order to choose the best schedule.

Refer to each major’s course requirement listed on the department’s website and/or in the Course

Planning Guide for more details on each major’s requirements. Brief descriptions of each and links to

details are given later in this document.

The course recommendations below do not take into account any Advance Placement credits you may

have so make sure to read the placement sections below.

MATH 104 (or appriate level Mathematics)—See below for Mathematics placements

CHEM 101 (or appriate level Chemistry)— See below for Chemistry placements

CHEM 053

PHYS 150 or 140 (or appriate level Physics)—See below for Physics placements

Appropriate 100-level engineering course for the SEAS major

A checklist for the summer before freshmen year

June View the Freshman Videos and familiarize yourself with the College and SEAS websites.

Set up your PennKey account. The Office of Information Systems and Computing sends incoming freshmen a PennKey set-up code by email if you provided an email address to admissions, and by mail if you did not. If you did not receive this mailing, or if you need further information, see PennKey Set-up Code Service.

Once you have your PennKey, create your School of Arts and Sciences AND School of Engineering and Applied Sciences email address.

Complete the Advising Questionnaire . Use the on-line resources for selecting courses especially courses recommended

for freshmen. Pay particular attention to freshman seminars and writing seminars, and the Course Search and Mock Schedule tool.

View Penn's Advanced Placement Policies.

June 25-

July 20

Advance

Registration

Review the Registration Tutorial. If you have questions about how to register, contact your peer-advisors (see list

below). This is when we will be talking on the phone and/or Skype to discuss your fall

classes. Select potential courses. Identify five primary and several alternate courses you

would like to request during Advance Registration. Enter your requests on Penn InTouch between June 25 and July 20. Your

chances of obtaining the courses you request are the same regardless of when during this period you register.

Tune in to the live advising webcast with the Dean of the College, Dean of Freshmen and faculty and College advisors. See the webpage for dates and times.

August-

September

Check your schedule on Penn InTouch in early August. Let Dr. D. know if there are any issues you need to discuss.

Check the New Student Orientation schedule for College and SEAS activities and events including the Penn Reading Project. I will send out a list of events not to miss for VIPER students in August.

Page 8: (viper) curriculum overview

Which Math, Chemistry and Physics courses should you start with? One of the most difficult things to determine before your freshmen year is which Mathematics, Physics

and Chemistry courses to take. Hopefully the information below will help.

Math Placement

Detailed placement information is listed on the Mathematics website:

http://www.math.upenn.edu/ugrad/advising.html

Passing the external Advanced Placement BC Exam administered by the College Entrance

Examination Board with a score of 5 gives credit for Math 104. Lower scores on the BC

Exam receive no course credit. No credit is given for the AB Exam.

Students who plan to enroll in a Math course in their first year at Penn are expected to take the Penn

Math Diagnostic first. This test will guide you in your choice of the appropriate entry course.

To take the diagnostic, go to the website: https://upenn.instructure.com/courses and sign in using your

PennKey and password. You will see a "course" called "Penn Math Diagnostic Group x" where x is a

number between 1 and 9. Click on this to enter the course. You will see a link to the Math Diagnostic

Placement Test and a date by which you are asked to complete it. Follow the instructions, including that

you make sure to take the diagnostic test during an uninterrupted time block. The test is timed for 90

minutes but you may complete it in less time depending on your previous math experiences.

The problems on the diagnostic test cover a broad range of topics and skills. You

should expect to encounter problems that you cannot solve. The idea is to solve

what you can within the timeframe. Remember that the purpose of the test is to

guide you in finding a starting place, not to evaluate your ability to achieve your

math potential.

If you need an extension because you are unavailable during your assigned testing period, please

request an extension by clicking on this link:

http://www.math.upenn.edu/diagnostic-extension

If you encounter any technical trouble, please email [email protected]. For further information

see our Diagnostic FAQ at the following link

http://www.math.upenn.edu/ugrad/diagnosticFAQ.txt

Page 9: (viper) curriculum overview

Chemistry Placement

A score of 5 on the AP Chemistry exam earns a student Chemistry 091 credit. One can also

take a placement exam given by the Chemistry Department. This is strongly

recommended. See more the Chemistry’s detailed information regarding placement

here: http://www.chem.upenn.edu/chem/undergraduate/advanced.php

Chem091 is used to indicate the equivalent of 1 c.u. (1 semester) of introductory chemistry

based solely on standardized exam performance (high school AP exam, etc.) Chem 091

does not correspond exactly to either Chem101 or 102. HOWEVER, credit for Chem091

can be converted into either Chem101 or 102 by taking the Chemistry Department

Placement exam (and doing well).

For exam registration inquiries, please contact Billy Werner in the undergraduate office. 215-898-8311 or [email protected]

For VIPER students planning to take Introductory Chemistry, the Honors Chemistry series

Chem115 and Chem116 (equivalent to Chem101 and 102), is most appropriate.

Page 10: (viper) curriculum overview

Physics Placement

5 on the Physics-B Physics 091, 092 (2 c.u.)

5 on the Physics-C (Mechanics) Physics 093 (1 c.u.)

5 on the Physics-C(Electricity and Magnetism) Physics 094 (1 c.u.)

Please see the Department of Physics and Astronomy website for further details on lab

requirements.

A further explanation of the Penn Physics AP equivalents is here:

http://www.physics.upenn.edu/ugrad/AP%20credit.pdf

For students who took AP Physics in high school and are planning to major in Physics, the

Honors Physics series Physics170 and Chem171 (equivalent to Physics150/151), may be

most appropriate.

Physics 140, 1.0 credit units, is equivalent to Physics 150, but without the lab. Physics 150 is 1.5

credit units and has a lab and lecture component. Of the majors most likely for VIPER

students, Physics 150 is required of the Physics, Computer Engineering, and Electrical

Engineering majors. Physics 150 is also recommended for anyone considering medical

school in the future.

Page 11: (viper) curriculum overview

Appropriate 100-level engineering course for the SEAS major

Depending on your SEAS major, a different 100-level Engineering course is recommended in the first

semester. Consult with your SEAS faculty advisor, but the general recommendations are:

Bioengineering (BE): BE100

Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE): CBE150 Electrical Engineering (EE): EE111 and CIS 110

Materials Science and Engineering (MSE): MSE220, EAS101, or other Tech Elective

Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics (MEAM): MEAM 110 (If you have AP credit for the "C" Mechanics Exam [PHYS 093] then

take EAS 105 or MEAM 101) MEAM 147 (If you have AP credit [PHYS 050] then take EAS 105 or MEAM 101)

MEAM110, 147

Page 12: (viper) curriculum overview

Social Science or Humanities Elective/Writing Course/College

Sector/Foundational Approach Course

As a dual degree student, you will want to choose your general requirement courses carefully so that in

many cases your courses fulfill both the College and SEAS general requirements.

Some examples:

A student could take History 120, fulfilling both the College’s “History and Tradition

Sector” requirement, as well as the Engineering “Social Science and Humanities”

breadth requirement.

A student could take Economics 001 (ECON001), fulfilling the College’s “Society Sector”

requirement, as well as the Engineering’s “Social Science and Humanities” breadth

requirement. That student could then later take Economics 002 (ECON002), and

therefore have ECON001 and ECON002 fulfill both the Engineering’s “Social Science and

Humanities” breadth and depth requirements.

Details regarding College requirements

Courses fulfilling College requirements

Details regarding SEAS Social Science Humanities Breadth and Depth Requirements

Students are strongly encouraged to complete their writing requirement in their freshmen year. To

meet College requirements, students may not use A.P. credit to satisfy the writing requirement, and

must take the course for a letter grade. The guidelines for fulfilling this requirement in the College are

here. Satisfying the College writing requirement will also fulfill the writing requirement in SEAS.

VIPER students will take the VIPER freshmen seminar in the spring of their freshmen year and the fall of

their sophomore year. This course can be used toward one College sector requirement. One other

“Sector” course can also double count with your major. The College “Foundational Approaches”

requirements can also double count with classes from your majors and with courses you take for SEAS

requirements and the College Sector requirements.

Page 13: (viper) curriculum overview

The Basics of the Majors

While VIPER students come to Penn as “Undecided” in the College and “Curriculum Deferred” in SEAS, it

is important to consider your likely majors in each school so that you plan accordingly. The most likely

majors for VIPER students include Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Environmental Science from the College

and Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (CBE), Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), Electrical

Engineering (EE), or Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics (MEAM) from SEAS. Other science

and engineering majors are also possible, including Mathematics.

Page 14: (viper) curriculum overview

Physics

The details, restrictions and policies of the Physics Major are listed online here. Always consult with

your faculty/major advisor.

The Basics:

The major in physics is divided into a core requirement plus all of the courses in one of five

concentrations: Advanced Physical Theory and Experimental Techniques, Chemical Principles, Computer

Techniques, Astrophysics, or Business and Technology. There is an overall requirement of 17 1/2 or 18

1/2 credit units (c.u.), depending on the concentration chosen. There is also an honors program for

ambitious students. A Master's Program permits qualified students to submatriculate and obtain a

master's degree.

Core Courses: The following courses must be taken by all Physics majors, no matter what their concentration:

Math 104, 114, 240, and 241

Physics 150 or 170, Physics 151 or 171

Physics 230, 250, 351, 361, 362, and 411. + Concentration Courses

See the Physics and Astronomy Department’s website for more information.

Page 15: (viper) curriculum overview

Chemistry

The details, restrictions and policies of the Chemistry Major are listed online here. Always

consult with your faculty/major advisor.

The Basics:

Chemistry majors normally complete the following introductory sequences by the end of the sophomore

year:

CHEM 101 (or 001 or 115), 102 (or 116) General Chemistry (2 c.u.) CHEM 053, 054 General Chemistry Laboratories (1 c.u.) CHEM 241, 242, 245 Organic Chemistry and Laboratory (3 c.u.) MATH 104, 114 Calculus (formerly Math 140, 141) (2 c.u.) PHYS 150, 151 Physics (3 c.u.) (VIPER students may take Physics140/141)

Completion of the major requires:

CHEM 261 Inorganic Chemistry (1 c.u.) CHEM 221, 222, 223 Physical Chemistry and Laboratory (3 c.u.) CHEM 251 Biochemistry (1 c.u.) CHEM 246 Advanced Laboratory (1 c.u.)

Honors majors add one advanced course (400 level or above) and two units of independent study

(CHEM 399).

Note: Although the Chemistry Major only requires MATH 104 and 114, students wishing to

pursue more advanced courses in Physical Chemistry, or other fields involving quantitative

treatment of Chemistry, should consider taking additional Math courses such as MATH 240,

241, etc.

Page 16: (viper) curriculum overview

Biology

The details, restrictions and policies of the Biology Major are listed online here. Always consult

with your faculty/major advisor.

Sample Curricula

Important Notes about Sample Curricula

These samples are only to serve the purpose of showing the VIPER student a tentative, possible

4-year schedule. Individual student schedules may vary quite a bit.

Courses written as “requirement1/requirement2” indicate a course that is chosen to fulfill both

requirements—double counting.

The following assumptions were made for the sample curricula below:

VIPER students’ courses combined from their College and SEAS majors will be chosen to

help fulfill their “Natural Science”, “Mathematics” and “Tech Electives” for their BSE

degree.

The Energy Courses (I, II, and III), below are mostly shown not to overlap with a

student’s courses for their major; however, in many cases these courses can double-

count toward the VIPER and major requirements.

Advanced Placement* in Mathematics such that the student can begin her/his first

semester in Math114.

Advanced Placement* in a foreign language such that the student has already fulfilled

the College Foreign Language Requirement

*Students without these advanced placements can still complete the VIPER curriculum but will need to

take extra classes.
