The engineering mechanics program
provides a strong analytical background
in mechanics for students planning to
continue on to graduate school and to
pursue research. Admission to the engineering
mechanics program requires a
grade point average of B or better and
maintenance of performance while in the
program.
Program Objectives
In developing and continually updating
our program to achieve the stated
mission of the Department, we seek
to achieve the following objectives:
1.To provide a firm foundation in the
basic math, science, and engineering
sciences that underlie all technological
development so our graduates will be
well equipped to adapt to changing
technology in the profession.
2.To provide the broad and fundamental
technical base needed by graduates
who will enter the profession through
the increasingly common path of a
specialized M.S., but also provide suitable
preparation to those who choose
to enter the professional workforce
with a B.S. to develop specialized
expertise by way of apprenticeship.
3.To provide the breadth and choices in
our programs that can accommodate
and foster not only students with
differing technical objectives, but also
those who will use their technical background
to follow other career paths.
4.To provide a basis for effective writing
and communication as well as a background
to foster awareness of societal
issues.
Engineering Mechanics
The prerequisites for this program are
the courses listed in the First Year–
Sophomore Program, or their equivalents,
with the provision that ENME
E3105: Mechanics be taken in the sophomore
year and that the student have
obtained a grade of B or better.
Civil Engineering
The prerequisites for this program are
the courses listed in the First Year–
Sophomore Program or their equivalents.
