Minors
Biomedical Engineering Minor
The biomedical engineering minor will help prepare computer,
electrical, and mechanical engineering students for careers in
the biomedical engineering field, graduate study in biomedical
engineering, or medical school. While not required for the
emphasis in biomedical engineering, students intending to pursue
medical school should have two semesters of general chemistry
and organic chemistry, as well as a semester of zoology, cell
biology, and junior level biochemistry. Two of these courses* could
be counted as electives in the biomedical engineering minor, and
only 6–7 additional semester hours are required for the minor
beyond the engineering major.
Course requirements for the biomedical engineering minor
involve 15.5–18 semester hours including:
BIO/GBIO-XXXX Biology Elective...........................................3.5–4
GBIO-2010 Human Anatomy and Physiology I...............................4
EGGN-3610 Biomedical Engineering Systems..............................3
Choose one elective from the following................................2–4
EGGN-3710 Biomedical Engineering Research.................... 2
*Health Science elective.................................................... 3–4
Engineering elective.............................................................. 3
Choose one elective from the following....................................3
EGEE-4610 Medical Imaging................................................ 3
EGME-4560 Biomechanics and Biomaterials........................ 3
In addition, mechanical engineering students selecting the biomedical engineering
minor may replace EGEE-3530 Electrical Machines in their major with an engineering
technical elective, approved by the department Chair, appropriate to their plan of
study.
Computer Science Minor
The computer science minor allows students to take a
focused set of courses which will enable them to effectively
employ programming within their own discipline. Proficiency in
computer programming is a skill which can be a strong asset in
virtually every discipline.
Course requirements for the computer science minor involve 27
semester hours including:
CS-1210 C++ Programming ..........................................................2
CS-1220 Object-Oriented Design Using C++ ...............................3
CS-2210 Data Structures Using JAVA ...........................................3
CS-3410 Algorithms ......................................................................3
EGCP-1010 Digital Logic Design....................................................3
MATH-1710, 1720 Calculus I and II .............................................10
Electives chosen from the following..........................................3
EGEE-3370 Probability and Random Processes for
Engineers........................................................................... 3
MATH-3110 Probability and Statistics I.................................. 3
Special Programs
Cooperative Education Program
The cooperative education program option has been a
traditional program option for engineering education for the last
100 years. The co-op program offers students who want to work
an opportunity to gain industrial experience as part of their formal
education. Co-op is the established program that the industry has
developed with academic institutions to provide supervised work
experiences for students. Engineering and computer science
students who select this option will require an extra year to obtain
their B.S. degree; they will receive a certificate stating that they
have satisfactorily completed the co-op program option.
Course requirements for the cooperative education program
include:
EGGN-3910 Co-Op I .....................................................................0
(orEGGN-3911 Co-Op IA......................................................... 0)
(andEGGN- 3912 Co-Op IB..................................................... 0)
EGGN-3920 Co-Op II ....................................................................0
(orEGGN-3921 Co-Op IIA....................................................... 0)
(andEGGN- 3922 Co-Op IIB.................................................... 0)
EGGN-3930 Co-Op III ...................................................................0
(orEGGN-3931 Co-Op IIIA...................................................... 0)
(andEGGN- 3932 Co-Op IIIB................................................... 0)
Engineering Honors Program
The engineering honors program is designed to challenge
exceptional students and encourage them to reach their highest
possible potential. Because the program is integrated with the
University’s honors program, students who wish to participate
must first be admitted into the honors program; the details
are listed in the Interdisciplinary Studies section(page 119).
Admission can occur in either the freshman or sophomore year.
Admission to the engineering honors program occurs after the
student completes the sophomore year. A cumulative GPA of 3.5
or higher is required for participation.
Engineering course work involves taking the honors version
of three courses and one additional engineering elective
course. These engineering honors courses are the regularly
scheduled courses and are taken with other students, but they
have enrichment opportunities and exposure to advanced
topics through special assignments and extra sessions with the
professor.
Course requirements for the engineering honors program include:
HON-1010 and 1020 Making of the Modern Mind
(substitutes forHUM-1400and HIST elective).........................10
EGXX-4XXX Additional Engineering Elective. ...............................3
Honors version of the following courses:
Requirements for computer engineering majors include:
EGCP-3210 Computer Architecture................................................3
EGCP-3010 Advanced Digital Logic Design...................................3
EGEE-3210 Electronics I................................................................3
Requirements for electrical engineering majors include:
EGEE-3210 Electronics I................................................................3
EGEE-3330 Communications Theory............................................4
EGEE-4410 Feedback Controls.....................................................4
Requirements for mechanical engineering majors include:
EGME-3110 Thermodynamics. ......................................................5
EGME-3850 Mechanical Design....................................................3
EGME-4660 Automatic Controls....................................................3
Students who earn a “B” or higher inHON-1010 and 1020 , earn
a “B” or higher in all engineering honors courses, and graduate
with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher will earn the “engineering
honors graduate” designation.
