¹

Career Bridge Experiences help prepare students for post-graduation life and develop a professional identity. Internships, Co-ops, and Undergraduate Research are examples of possible Career Bridge Experiences. Students must participate in a Career Bridge Experience to complete the BS ISE degree. Because some of these experiences are not credit bearing, the ENGE 3900 course is used to track and assess student participation in a Career Bridge Experience and to record fulfillment of this degree requirement on the transcript. Students should enroll in ENGE 3900 during the semester (or one of the semesters) that they undertake the Career Bridge Experience. Enrollment in ENGE 3900 requires approval of a Career Bridge Plan.

Further information about acceptable Career Bridge Experiences and the process for submitting a Career Bridge Plan are explained in ISE 2004.

²

The purpose of this requirement is to enable student to develop expertise in a particular area of the ISE discipline.

Courses must be selected from the list provided. Course offerings are subject to change and the availability of sufficient resources: check the Timetable of Classes for actual course offerings each semester.
A maximum of six (6) credits of ISE 4974 Independent Study or ISE 4994 Undergraduate Research is allowed without prior approval from the ISE Undergraduate Program Director.

³

The purpose of this requirements is for students to further develop technical skills and to provide the opportunity to focus on a particular technical area by taking electives with significant technical content.

The courses must be on an A-F basis, unless prior approval (for P/F basis) has been obtained from the ISE Undergraduate Program Director.
Up to three (3) credits can be obtained via ISE Technical Elective courses not being used for ISE Technical Elective credit.

⁴

Courses must be selected as follows:

Any 3000 or 4000 level course from AOE, BMES, BSE, CEE, CEM, CHE, CHEM, CMDA, CS, ECE, ESM, MATH, ME, MSE, MINE, NSEG, PHYS, STAT except the following: CEE 4804 Professional and Legal Issues in Civil Engineering, CHEM 4014 Survey of Chemical Literature, CS 3604 Professionalism in Computing, CS 4214 Simulation and Modeling, MATH 4044 History of Mathematics, MATH 4625 Mathematics for Secondary Teachers, MATH 4626 Mathematics for Secondary Teachers, MATH 4644 Secondary School Mathematics With Technology, MATH 4664 Senior Math Education Seminar, ME 4454 Engineering Leadership in Practice: Managing the Technical Design Process, STAT 3005 Statistical Methods, STAT 3006 Statistical Methods, STAT 3604 Statistics for Social Science, STAT 3615 Biological Statistics, STAT 3704 Statistics for Engineering Applications, STAT 4105 Theoretical Statistics, STAT 4604 Statistical Methods for Engineers, STAT 4705 Probability and Statistics for Engineers, STAT 4714 Probability and Statistics for Electrical Engineers
ENGR 3124 Introduction to Green Engineering and/or ENGR 4134 Environmental Life Cycle Assessment
Other courses are allowed only with prior approval from the ISE Undergraduate Program Director.

⁵

The purpose of this requirement is for students to broaden their knowledge of engineering science outside ISE.

Courses must be selected from the list below (unless prior approval has been obtained from the ISE Undergraduate Program Director.

⁶

Students may not use a given course to satisfy both Free Elective and Pathways requirements: any given course can satisfy one requirement only.

⁷

Only free electives and courses offered on a P/F basis only (e.g. FA 2004 Creativity and the Artistic Experience may be taken under the P/F grading option.)

Satisfactory Progress Towards Degree

University Policy 91 outlines university-wide minimum criteria to determine if students are making satisfactory progress towards the completion of their degrees. The ISE Department fully supports this policy. In addition, upon completion of two semesters as an ISE major, students must have:

a minimum in-major GPA of 2.00 or better (in-major GPA is determined from all ISE and required STAT classes);

Graduation Requirements

Each student must complete at least 124 semester credit hours with a minimum overall GPA of 2.00 and a minimum in-major GPA of 2.00. (In-major GPA is determined from ISE and required STAT classes.)

Pre-requisites: Students must earn a C- or better in ISE, STAT, and MATH courses which are prerequisites for subsequent ISE courses, with the exception of ISE 2004, ISE 2014, and ISE 2214.

Foreign Language Requirement

Students must have had 2 years of a foreign language in high school or one year at the college level (6 credit hours) of the same language. College-level credits used to meet this requirement do not count towards the degree.
