Freshman Engineering
Freshman Engineering is the program of study for all beginning engineering students. While in this program students will complete a basic set of courses which is common to all engineer- ing curricula. This program provides the student with the opportunity to explore the various disciplines of engineering before making a commitment to a specific curriculum
A typical schedule is shown below. Alternate programs to complete the Freshman Engineer- ing requirements are also available--some for the very well prepared, some for those less pre- pared. Students must contact their academic advisers for details.
I These are minimum requirements. If the courses identified to fulfill this category exceed the minimum, the balance may be applied toward Major Area, Technical, or Free Elective categories.

Bachelor of Science in Engineering-Electrical Engineering
(Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET')
Electrical engineering offers career opportunities in such general areas as research, develop- ment, design, and operation of electronic systems and their components. Challenging posi- tions are available to the electrical engineer in electronics, communications, power, and other electrical industries, and in many non-electrical industries. Activities in this field span deSign, development, research, production, marketing, operation, field testing, and maintenance of many types of equipment for industry, government, and the consumer.
The electrical engineer must have a strong background in mathematics and physics, a broad base in the humanities, and a command of the English language to have the breadth essential for professional growth.
The basic electrical engineering field of study described below is built around a core of techni- cal courses. It employs formal courses, laboratory experiences, and design projects to intro- duce the student to the design and application of electronic devices, the use of the computer as a design tool, and fundamentals of electrical measurements. The curriculum is rounded out by studies in such areas as linear and nonlinear electronic and electrical circuits, discrete and continuous systems analysis, control system design, and digital systems design. A design course taken during the senior year gives each student an opportunity to apply training to a real engineering problem, and serves to integrate and to strengthen the various areas of study that make up the degree program. The number of semester credit hours required for gradua- tion is 125.

Bachelor of Science in Engineering-Interdisciplinary Engineering
The Division of Engineering offers the Interdisciplinary Engineering field of study to provide a coordinated and controlled educational opportunity for students whose interests and talents, while oriented towards engineering and science, do not coincide with the other two fields of study offered in the Division of Engineering. Interdisciplinary Engineering does not have a designated professional curriculum but it is constituted to accommodate a degree objective with broad flexibility and opportunity for interdisciplinary studies.
I Any engineering course that is not required in the curricula may be taken as a technical elective with the approval of the advisory committee.
2 Students may take PHYS 330 if EE 311 is not offered.
48 Engineering Plans of Study
The program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) degree with a designation of Interdisciplinary Engineering as the field of study.
To enter the program, a student must participate in planning a personalized "Plan of Study"
that must be approved by the Division of Engineering. Each such plan must satisfy the aca- demic requirements for a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree.'
Bachelor of Science in Engineering-Mechanical Engineering
(Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET»
Mechanical engineers are engaged in a wide range of pursuits such as mechanical design, im- provement of materials, and manufacturing processes, research, management, development, and maintenance. This work is carried out in a variety of settings, including industrial, aca- demic, and governmental institutions.
Students choosing to follow the curricula in Mechanical Engineering become well grounded in basic sciences through courses taken in the first two years. Following these courses, a sound engineering course sequence is given, covering such fields as fluid mechanics, thermody- namics, vibration, electric circuits, and electronics, heat and mass transfer, materials, and au- tomatic control. These subjects are integrated in the design course sequence of the senior year. Appropriate laboratories are coordinated with this course work to provide students with the opportunity to learn measurement techniques and to verify theory. The number of semes- ter credit hours reqUired for graduation is 128.
