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 201). 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 coursework 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 for HUM-1400 and HIST elective).........................10 EGXX-4XXX Additional Engineering Elective................................3 Honors version of the following courses: Requirements for civil engineering majors include: EGCE-3610 Environmental Engineering........................................4 Civil Engineering Concentration Design Electives.........................8 Requirements for computer engineering majors include: EGCP-3010 Advanced Digital Logic Design...................................3 EGCP-4210 Advanced Computer Architecture...............................3 EGEE-3210 Electronics I................................................................3 Requirements for electrical engineering majors include: EGEE-3210 Electronics I................................................................3 EGEE-3330 Communications Systems..........................................3 EGEE-4410 Feedback Control Systems........................................3 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 in HON-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. 2025–26 Undergraduate Academic Catalog Page 159 School of Engineering and Computer Science Special Programs
