2001-2002 Academic Catalog

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 University honors program; the details are listed in the lnterdisciplinaiy Studies section of the catalog. 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 above is required for patticipation. Once admitted, failure to emoll in an engineering honors course will terminate the program. Engineering coursework involves taking the honors version of four courses and one additional engineering elective course. Though scheduled and taken with other students, these engineering honors courses involve enrichment opportunities and exposure to advanced topics through special assignments and sessions. Course requirements for the engineering honors program include: HON-101,102, and 103 (substitutes for HUM-140, and one HIST elective) ....................................................................... 15 ENGR-480* Professional Ethics ........................................... 4 One additional 400-level engineering elective ...................... 3 Requirements for electrical engineering majors include: ENGR-312*Electronicsll ......................................................... 5 ENGR-316* Microprocessors ................................................... 4 ENGR-432* Cormnunications The01y .................................... 5 Requirements for mechanical engineering majors include: ENGR-341 *Properties ofEngineeringMaterial ....................... 4 ENGR-360*FluidMechanics ................................................... 5 ENGR-374*Kinenmtics ............................................................ 4 *Engineering honors students register for section H Students who earn a "B" or above in HON-101, 102, and 103, earn a "B" or above in all engineering honors courses, and graduate with a cumulative GPA of 3. 5 or higher will earn the "engineering honors graduate" designation. E11gi11eering laboratories are equipped with advanced technical equipment, enabling students to prnctice and de111011strale their skills.
