M. E. Wood, M.S., Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Education
David Jordan, Ph.D., Director of Undergraduate Advising

Degrees Offered & Accreditation

The School of Engineering offers four-year programs leading to

Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) degrees (134-credits) in

Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree (120-credits) in Computer Science

Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree (139-credits) in Management & Engineering for Manufacturing (jointly offered with the School of Business Administration)

The BSE programs shown above that are asterisked (*), are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET). The BSE in Computer Science & Engineering is also accredited by the Computer Science Accreditation Board (CSAB). The BSE programs in Environmental Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Metallurgy & Materials Engineering, and the BS program in Management & Engineering for Manufacturing will be submitted for EAC/ABET accreditation at the next evaluation. The BS program in Computer Science will be submitted for CSAB accreditation at the next evaluation.

The School of Engineering and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences offer a five-year, double-degree EUROTECH program leading to a B.S. degree in Engineering and a B.A. degree in German. The program includes German Language courses specially designed to include engineering content, engineering courses taught partly in German, and a six-month internship in a company in Germany.

Students who wish to concentrate their elective work in a second field within the School of Engineering may elect a double major program. This program requires the completion of all requirements in both majors.

The School of Engineering also offers Minors in Biomedical Engineering, in Environmental Engineering, and in Metallurgy & Materials Engineering

Admission Requirements. See Admission to the University. All students admitted to the School of Engineering are required to take a placement examination in mathematics prior to registration for their first semester. Students who make unsatisfactory grades in these examinations may be required to take additional preparatory work that may not be counted toward graduation.

Admission to Junior Year. Students should select their major by the second semester of their sophomore year. All students, to be admitted to their junior year in their selected major in the School of Engineering, must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 in all courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering applicable toward the degree. For Management & Engineering for Manufacturing majors, the cumulative grade point average requirement also includes Management & Engineering for Manufacturing courses. Students need the approval of the Director of Advising to change majors.

School Academic Requirements.

All majors are required to complete:

All majors, except BS in Computer Science majors, are required to complete All majors, except BS in Computer Science and BS in Management & Engineering for Manufacturing majors, are required to complete CHEM 128Q (or 130Q).

All majors, except BS in Computer Science and BS in Management & Engineering for Manufacturing majors, are required to complete at least two courses in one of the departments listed in the General Education Groups 4 through 7 (see Appendix). At least one of these courses must be at the 200 level. Examples of course selections that meet this requirement are:

Credit Restrictions. The following courses may not be counted for credit toward graduation in the School of Engineering: MATH courses numbered 110 and below; MATH 112, and 118; PHYS 101 and 103; CSE 101; STAT 100; and courses labeled "independent study" or "variable topics" (e.g. course numbered 298 or 299) taken in departments outside the School of Engineering. No course taken on a Pass/Fail basis may be counted for credit toward graduation or may be used to meet any course requirements of the School of Engineering.

Major Requirements and Normal Sequences. In addition to the University General Education requirements and the School requirements listed above, the requirements for the specific majors are listed in the following pages. Full details, normal course sequences, and accreditation requirements can be found in the respective Guide to Course Selection for each major.
