Notes
- ↑ This rule should not be followed on the abbreviation's own page. For example, the abbreviation "MSE" can only be used on the Materials Science and Engineering page after "Materials Science and Engineering (MSE)" is stated 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.
