The abbreviations listed on this page are common abbreviations that may be used without specifying their meaning.[Note 1] Any other abbreviations can only be used if its meaning is stated first with the abbreviation in parentheses. For example, the abbreviation "CAD" can only be used after stating "computer-aided design (CAD)" on the first use.

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 CE may not be used as an abbreviation for Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, Civil Engineering, or Computer Engineering due to possible confusion.
- ↑ ChemE may not be used as an abbreviation for Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
- ↑ ISyE may not be used as an abbreviation for Industrial Engineering as a major.
