For the Degree of Bachelor of Science in General Engineering
The general engineering curriculum provides a comprehensive
program in the basic sciences, engineering sciences, and engineering
design. The program was developed to give a broad background in
mechanics and structures, control systems, and decision-making that is
supportive of a systems approach to engineering. It is enriched by the
use of computer-aided engineering tools and course experiences
involving a design-build-test-evaluate ("closed-loop") cycle that
echoes the real world. This learning culminates in an internship-like,
senior-level project course in which student teams solve real-world
problems posed by external sponsors. The curriculum also incorporates
specialized study in an approved secondary field of choice (described
below) that provides virtually unlimited opportunity and flexibility
to tailor the curriculum to one's interests. The College of
Engineering's manufacturing and bioengineering options and
international minor may be incorporated into the curriculum through
the secondary field and other electives. Through the capstone project
course and a senior seminar, the curriculum teaches the life skill
necessary for success in the professional world. Overall, this
curriculum prepares students for graduate study and positions of
managerial and technical leaderhip in careers in the public and
private sectors.
The curriculum requires 131 hours for graduation. It is effective fall 1994 for first-year students.

footnote 1. It is recommended that freshmen with appropriate backgrounds in analytical geometry take the MATH 135, MATH 245 calculus sequence instead of MATH 120, MATH 130, MATH 242, delaying MATH 225 to the sophomore year.
footnote 2. Each student must satisfy the social sciences and humanities requirements of the College of Engineering, including ECON 102 or ECON 103. Students entering in fall 1994 and later must also satisfy the campus general education requirements for social sciences and humanities.
footnote 3. To be selected from lists established by the department or by petition to the department.
footnote 4. Satisfies the general education Composition II requirement.
footnote 5. To be selected from the list of design electives as established by the department.
Secondary fields are of two types: preapproved and customized. Preapproved fields have designated titles and a preapproved list of courses from which, in general, any 12 credit hours may be selected. However, substitutions of other courses may be requested via a petition form submitted to the department. Customized secondary fields may be created to fulfill student needs in areas beyond the preapproved ones. For customized secondary fields, a suitable title and all the courses must be petitioned for acceptance to the department. Approval is based on the merit of the secondary field and the coherence of the courses within it relative to the student's goals.
Preapproved secondary fields are listed below. This list is
subject to change. Check the departmental document for current fields,
courses, course titles, and credit hours.
