<p>lkf725 - that’s true the engrs need a “W” class to graduate, but it’s not a “fresman writing” class. The freshman engrg curriculum has no such thing on it, either semester, just a place for one of the electives you mention in social studies or humanities. But you can fulfill the “W” rqt with any class that the university so designates. For example, this fall there is a class (also on the engrg school’s list of approved electives) called “Special Topics in Archaeology” ANTH 1540, that gets the “W”. So it has a substantial writing component, but I wouldn’t call it a freshman writing class.</p>
