Engineering

To keep the option open for majoring in engineering, a student should have taken Engineering 4 and 79 before the fourth semester. Any proposed variation from this program must be discussed in advance with an engineering advisor.

An engineering major must satisfactorily complete the following required courses for the bachelor’s degree:

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
Two courses in engineering mathematics are also required for the engineering major:
MATH056 HM - Data, Probability, and Statistics for Engineers
ENGR072 HM - Applied Mathematics for Engineering

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

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.
