Creative accomplishment in an engineer's career often derives from an education that stresses major ideas and fundamental concepts of engineering rather than specific technologies. The engineering curricula provide wide experience in the mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences as well as in the social sciences and the humanities. In this way the student obtains both thorough training in engineering and a liberal education. Such an approach provides the best preparation for the engineer, who must envisage and develop the technologies of the future and deal with scientific advances.
Engineers are responsible for translating the ever-expanding reservoir of scientific knowledge into systems, deVices, and products and for engaging in the further expansion of knowledge.
To meet these responsibilities, young men and women who are learning to be engineers must not only master the ideas of others but also originate new ideas. Although engineers deal extensively with facts and scientific fundamentals as a matter of course, they cannot rely on these alone. Engineers inevitably face decisions that cannot be made on the basis of technical skill, but that require a broad understanding of human values and behavior as developed by studies in the social sciences and humanities. They must also be able to meet situations where judgment and wisdom, combined with scientific knowledge or technical skill, can provide a solution.
General Education Program
A total of 27 credit hours of general education courses is required in the engineering curricula.
Six credit hours are required in the Freshman Engineering Program: ENG W131 and COMM CllO. Six specified credit hours are required of all engineering students: ECON E201, a social science course; TCM 360, a communications course; and EE 401 or ME 401, a course in engi- neering ethics. The remaining credit hours are to be selected by the student in accordance with the following rules:
1. The student should explore different areas of the humanities and the social sciences.
2. Each general education program should have a unifying framework.
3. Courses such as accounting, industrial management, personal finance, ROTC, and per- sonnel administration do not fulfill the purpose of the general education program, regard- less of their general value in total engineering education.
4. General education electives may be found in such subjects as philosophy, religion, his- tory, literature, fine arts, sociology, psychology, anthropology, economics, and modem languages. A list of currently approved courses is posted in engineering offices.
5. At least 6 credit hours must be taken in humanities and 3 in social sciences.
6. A minimum of 6 credit hours in at least one department and a maximum of 12 credit hours in anyone department may be elected.
7. No more than 6 credit hours may be used at the introductory level. These courses are preceded by an asterisk (*) on the approved list.
8. Modem language courses, when used as an elective, must include at least 6 credit hours of a single language at the introductory level.
9. Courses in a student's native language may not count as a general education elective.
10. Geography courses are not acceptable as general education electives.
11. Pass/Fail option and correspondence courses may not be used to satisfy general education requirements.
12. No more than 6 credit hours of approved general education electives may be scheduled in anyone semester.
13. If credit by examination in a course is used to satisfy part of the general education re- quirements, an additional 3 credit hours must be satisfactorily completed in the same de- partment (except in the case of foreign languages, where an additional course must be in the same language).
14. The approved list of courses may vary from semester to semester. Courses on the ap- proved list during the semester the student takes the course will be accepted even if they are subsequently removed from the list.
15. Students may petition their academic adviser and department chairperson for approval of courses not listed.
Requirements for Graduation
Requirements for graduation include receiving credit in all required courses-at least 129 credit hours in the electrical engineering program or 130 credit hours in the interdisciplinary engineering program or 127 credit hours in the mechanical engineering program. All engi- neering students must have a graduation index of 2.0 in required engineering courses in addi- tion to an overall graduation index of 2.0 for all courses on the approved plan of study.
Each student must have an approved plan of study that lists all courses for the specific degree program. Students should prepare their plans of study for approval during the junior year. If a student wants to deviate from the published curricula, written permission of the administra- tor of the program is required.
Freshman Engineering Program
Freshman engineering is the program of study for all beginning engineering students. While in this program, students complete basic courses common to all engineering curricula with the exception of the computer programming course. Electrical engineering requires EE 263. Inter- disciplinary and mechanical engineering require ENGR 197. The Freshman Engineering Pro- gram provides an opportunity to explore various engineering diSCiplines before making a commitment to a specific curriculum.
A typical schedule is shown below. Alternate programs for completion of the freshman engi- neering requirements are also available-some for those students who are very well prepared, some for those less well prepared. All transfer and newly admitted students enroll in the
Freshman Engineering Program until their credit transfer is completed. Students must contact the coordinator of freshman engineering for details.

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for En- gineering and Technology, Inc. (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 nonelectrical industries. Activities in this field include de- sign, development, research, production, marketing, operation, field testing, and maintenance of many types of equipment for industry, government, and the consumer.
To have the breadth essential for professional growth, the electrical engineer must have a strong background in mathematics and physics, a broad base in the humanities, and a com- mand of the English language. The basic electrical engineering program described below is built around a core of technical courses. It employs formal course work, laboratory experience, and design pmject.s to introduce the student to the design and application of electronic de- vices, 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, digital sys- tems design, communication, microprocessors, and simulation.

Bachelor of Science in Engineering-Interdisciplinary Engineering
Interdisciplinary engineering provides a coordinated and controlled educational opportunity for students whose interests and talents, while oriented toward engineering and science, do not coincide with the other two fields of study offered in the Division of Engineering. Inter- disciplinary engineering does not have a deSignated professional curriculum but is constituted to accommodate a degree objective with broad flexibility and opportunity for interdiSciplinary studies. An option in engineering management is available for students who desire a strong background in both engineering and business. Students should contact their advisers for in- formation about this option.
The program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree with interdiSciplinary engi- neering deSignated as the major field of study. To enter the program, a student must partici- pate in developing a personalized plan of study that must be approved by the program director. The plan must satisfy the academic requirements for a Bachelor of Science in Engi- neering degree. 2
I Other courses may be taken as technical electives with prior approval of the student's petition.
2 Plans of study are available in interdiSciplinary engineering emphasizing such major program areas as en- gineering management, bioengineering, chemistry, and geology. Please consult the Division of Engineer- ing, Administrative Building 159, 1201 E. 38th Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46205-2868, (317) 274-9717, for details.
