2002-2003 Academic Catalog

89 Engineering School of Engineering, Nursing, and Science 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’s honors program; the details are listed in the Interdisciplinary Studies section of the catalog. Admission can occur in either the freshman or sopho- more 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 participation. Engineering coursework involves taking the honors version of four courses and one additional engineering elective course. These engineering honors courses are scheduled and taken with other students, but they have enrichment opportunities and exposure to advanced topics through special assignments and sessions with the professor. Course requirements for the engineering honors program include: HON-1010 and 1020 (substitutes for HUM-1400 and HIST elective) .................... 10 EGGN-3110 Professional Ethics ........................................... 3 EGXX-4XXX Engineering Elective ........................................ 3 Requirements for computer engineering majors include: EGEE-3210 Electronics I ....................................................... 3 EGCP-3210 Computer Architecture ...................................... 3 EGCP-3010 Advanced Digital Logic Design ........................ 3 EGCP-4XXX Elective ............................................................. 3 Requirements for electrical engineering majors include: EGEE-3210 Electronics I ....................................................... 3 EGEE-3330 Communications Theory ................................... 4 EGEE-4410 Feedback Controls ............................................ 4 EGEE-4XXX Elective ............................................................. 3 Requirements for mechanical engineering majors include: EGME-3110 Thermodynamics .............................................. 5 EGME-3850 Mechanical Design ........................................... 3 EGME-4660 Automatic Controls ........................................... 3 EGME-4XXX Elective .........................................................2-3 Students who earn a “B” or above in HON-1010 and 1020, 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.
