Engineering Science Stem

• The engineering science stem consists of five required courses that collectively embody the fundamental “applied science” knowledge base needed by a broadly educated engineer practicing in the foreseeable future:

• ENGR082 HM - Chemical and Thermal Processes
• ENGR083 HM - Continuum Mechanics
• ENGR084 HM - Electronic and Magnetic Circuits and Devices
• ENGR085 HM - Digital Electronics and Computer Engineering
• ENGR086 HM - Materials Engineering

•  

  A half course in engineering mathematics is also required for the engineering major:

• ENGR072 HM - Engineering Mathematics

Systems Stem

• The systems stem is a sequence of three required courses that provides analysis and design tools to model and interpret the behavior of general engineering systems. The sequence is multidisciplinary in approach, enabling students to gain a unified view of the entire spectrum of engineering disciplines:

• ENGR079 HM - Introduction to Engineering Systems
• ENGR101 HM - Advanced Systems Engineering I
• ENGR102 HM - Advanced Systems Engineering II

Design and Professional Practice Stem

• The design and professional practice stem includes five required courses that focus on working in teams on open-ended, externally-driven design projects that, over the course of the curriculum, encompass conceptual design, preliminary (or embodiment) design, and detailed design.

   

  Hands-on exposure to professional practice begins with students undertaking challenging design problems in the first year with an introduction to conceptual design, engineering drawings, and manufacturing techniques:

• ENGR004 HM - Introduction to Engineering Design and Manufacturing

•  

  Continues with a laboratory course in experimental engineering:

• ENGR080 HM - Experimental Engineering

•  

  And culminates with three semesters of Engineering Clinic (seniors must submit a final Clinic report that is acceptable to the project’s faculty advisor):

• ENGR111 HM - Engineering Clinic I
• ENGR112 HM - Engineering Clinic II
• ENGR113 HM - Engineering Clinic III

Engineering Seminar

• ENGR122 HM - Engineering Seminar
• ENGR124 HM - Engineering Seminar

Three Upper Division Electives

• Three upper division engineering technical electives (numbered higher than 100, others by petition. Not to include courses listed above. CSCI070 HM  is also accepted as an engineering technical elective). 

Students should note that many electives are offered in alternate years.
