Academic Policies and Procedures
Probation, Dismissal, Reinstatement
Acceptance of Grade Replacement, Forgiveness, Repeating Courses
Academic Regulations
Students who receive a passing grade in a course taken under the Pass/Fail option may not retake the same course for a letter grade. For all bachelor's degrees in the School of Engineering and Technology, a minimum GPA of 2.0 is required for graduation.
Good Standing
Students can take advantage of this option for a maximum of 20 percent of the total credits required for graduation. The graduation index (grade average) is the weighted average of grades for only those courses used to meet the graduation requirements of the program in which the student is enrolled.
Graduation Requirements for Undergraduates
Credit in these additional courses must be established within five years of the date on which all other graduation requirements were met. At least 12 of the 32 credit hours must be completed in the major at junior level or higher.
Engineering and Technology Minors
Substitution of courses required for graduation may be made by the dean of the school. Students who have completed all other requirements for a bachelor's degree but have not met the minimum graduation index may register for additional courses, with the approval of an authorized representative of the dean, after a review of their record.
Certificate Programs
These additional courses may not exceed 10 credit hours, and credit in these courses must be established no later than three years after the date on which all other graduation requirements were met. Students must be registered at the School of Engineering and Technology, either in residence or in absentia, in the semester or summer session immediately preceding the award of the degree.
Internship and Cooperative Education Programs
Students may take no more than 9 of the 20 credit hours at another approved college or university, provided the courses are approved in advance and in writing by an authorized representative of the Dean of the College of Engineering and Technology. Once students have successfully completed the first year of the academic program, they can choose from employment programs that suit their needs.
Graduate Engineering Programs
The lessons students learn in classrooms and laboratories are put to the ultimate test through the school's collaborative education, internships, professional work experience, and international student exchange programs. The school interacts with a wide variety of area companies to provide the technical experience needed to succeed in today's globally competitive economic markets.
Scholarships and Awards
Scholastic Recognition
School or Program Student Clubs
The Minority Engineering Advancement Program (MEAP) was established in 1974 to encourage minority students to pursue studies in engineering and engineering technology. MEAP also provides counseling and tutor referral service for minority students enrolled in the School of Engineering and Technology.
General-Education Program
Society of Student Constructors Society of Women Engineers (SWE) Student Design Organization (SDO) Tau Alpha Pi. Through annual MEAP summer workshops, the school identifies and recruits talented high school students and provides them with information about engineering careers and college requirements.
Specific Degree Tracks
In addition, scholarships and grants are available to American Indian, African American, and Hispanic students, people from groups that have historically been underrepresented in engineering. Free time for travel, study and recreation is available at the end of the program.
Undergraduate Engineering Programs
Engineering curricula provide broad experience in the mathematical, physical and engineering sciences as well as the social sciences and humanities. In this way the student receives a thorough training in engineering and a thorough education.
Minor in Business for Engineering Students
Students with gaps in high school preparation or those participating in a cooperative education program may need more time to complete their degree. Engineers inevitably face decisions that cannot be made on the basis of technical knowledge, but require a broad understanding of human values and behavior as developed by studies in the social sciences and humanities.
