English Proficiency

The department requires a C grade (2.0) or better in both Engl 104 and 105.

*Core professional curriculum. A student must have a minimum grade point average of 2.00 in this group of courses in order to graduate.

1These social sciences and humanities (SSH) electives must be chosen from a department-approved list and must include at least one 6-credit sequence of prerequisite or related courses. At least 6 credits of SSH electives at or above the 200-level must be included.

2These management electives must be chosen from a department-approved list.

3These engineering science electives must be chosen from a department-approved list.

4The IMSE curriculum provides students with the opportunity to obtain depth in a topic area of their choice. At least two courses, selected from a department-approved list, must be taken from one of the following areas:

Operations Research: which is concerned with the design and analysis of quantitative models and methods having applications in production and service systems such as inventory control, scheduling, transportation, and logistics.

Manufacturing: which is concerned with the design, analysis, operation, and control of manufacturing processes and systems.

Human Factors: which is concerned with the relationships between people and their work tasks, machines, information, and environment.

Enterprise Computing and Information Engineering: which is concerned with the integration of information within the functional units of an enterprise as well as among multiple enterprises.

Engineering Management: which is concerned with the strategies necessary for solving internal and external problems of a company in areas such as production, quality, project management, sales, and marketing strategies.

General: for students who do not want to specialize in any of the five focus areas above, choosing instead to combine electives from a number of areas.

5These technical electives must be chosen from a department-approved list.
