Academic AdvisingTitle Goes HereThe College of Engineering is committed to the belief thatacademic advising engages students by teaching them how tobecome members of the higher education community, to thinkcritically about their role and responsibilities as engineers,and to prepare them to be educated members of a globalcommunity.New StudentsNew freshman students are assigned to Engineering AdvisingServices for academic advising until they have completedthe freshman curriculum. Freshman students admitted to theCollege of Engineering are required to designate a field ofstudy by the end of their freshman year. Upon completion ofEngineering Fundamentals 152 (or equivalent), the studentsare assigned faculty advisors in their selected departments.The Engineering Advising Office deliversacademic advising on an appointment basis.To make an appointment, contact the AdvisingOffice at (865) 974-4008 or come by 202Estabrook Hall. Advising appointments arenormally offered on thirty-minute individualintervals. Hours of operation are from 8:00 a.m.to 5:00 p.m. (Eastern), Monday through Friday.All students must meet with an advisor in the EngineeringAdvising Office until they successfully complete EngineeringFundamentals 151-152 or 157-158 and Math 141-142 or 147-148.Computer Science students must complete Math 141-142,147-148 and Computer Science 102 and 140. Once EF 151-152and Math 141-142 are successfully completed and studentshave a cumulative GPA of 2.00 (good academic standing)then students’ files are sent to the engineering major oftheir choice. Students are assigned to faculty advisors intheir major of choice who assist with academic advising andcareer planning to the completion of the degree. Successfulcompletion of courses is a grade of C or better. The NC (NoCredit) grade or W (withdrawal) are not passing grades.Students must repeat courses with a grade of NC or W untilsuccessfully completed.Academic StandingThe University of Tennessee, Knoxville, expects all studentswho enter to make progress toward graduation. To graduatefrom UT Knoxville, a student must earn a minimum cumulativegrade point average (GPA) of 2.00. The university reviewsstudents’ academic records at the end of each term todetermine academic standing. The catalog contains additionalrequirements for specific programs.Good Academic StandingA student is in good academic standing when both thestudent’s term and cumulative GPAs are 2.00 or higher or, ifafter two consecutive terms, the student’s cumulative GPA is2.00 or higher and at least one term GPA is also 2.00 or higher.Academic ProbationA student will be placed on Academic Probation when (1) his/her cumulative GPA falls below the minimum acceptable levelof 2.00 for one semester or (2) the semester GPA falls belowthe minimum acceptable level of 2.00 two consecutive termsof enrollment. During the semester that a student is placed onAcademic Probation, and any other semesters in Academic5Probation, a student must participate in a special directiveadvising program to help the student address concerns thatare impacting his/her academic performance and to outlinea plan for achieving academic success. This model of earlyintervention is designed to help students regroup and positionthemselves for academic success. Students on AcademicProbation status during a term will automatically be dismissedat the end of that term if both:A student will no longer be on academic probation when hisor her cumulative grade point average is 2.00 or higher andthe term grade point average is 2.00 or higher. This policy is inplace in recognition of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville’sminimum grade point average of 2.00 for graduation.Academic DismissalAcademic dismissal is the end result of a pattern of receivinggrades that are below the university’s standards for goodacademic standing (GPA of 2.00 or better). Students whohave been academically dismissed are not eligible to enrollin classes, either full-time or part-time at the University ofTennessee (including correspondence and on-line courses).Academically dismissed students are not permitted to livein university housing and no longer have the privilegesprovided through the UT student identification card (VolCard).Academically dismissed students must remain away from theuniversity for a mandatory absence and should use the periodof dismissal to reflect on and address the factors that led topoor performance.A student dismissed for the first time may not bereadmitted until after a full semester (not includingsummer) has elapsed.A student dismissed for the second time may bereadmitted after one calendar year has elapsed and aftercompleting a minimum of 12 semester credits of academiccoursework with at least a 2.50 cumulative grade pointaverage from accredited institution(s) of higher education.Students who have been dismissed twice are required tomeet with the Undergraduate Council Appeals Committee.Students may be readmitted only when they presentevidence that they are capable of performing at the levelrequired to meet university academic standards andcompleting all degree requirements within a reasonablelength of time.After a third dismissal, a student is ineligible to attend theuniversity and may not apply for readmission. Studentswho have been academically dismissed and who arereadmitted will be dismissed again if they fail to earn a 2.00minimum term GPA at the end of the first semester afterreadmission and every term thereafter until the cumulativeGPA reaches a 2.00. For further information on readmissionafter academic dismissal, see Readmission to the Universityunder the Admission to the University section of thecatalog.Students dismissed from the College of Engineering and/orthe University of Tennessee, Knoxville, will be removed fromall courses if pre-registered for the following term. Dismissedstudents may no longer pursue a major in the College ofEngineering.

Student PrivacyFERPA STATEMENTFamily Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)The method with which the University of Tennesseegoverns the distribution of student information is basedon the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of1974 or FERPA. This Act, as amended, established therequirements governing the privacy of student educationalrecords in regards to the release of those records andaccess to those records. This Act is also known as theBuckley Amendment.The Act gives four basic rights to students: the right to review their education records; the right to seek to amend their education records; the right to limit disclosure of personally identifiableinformation (directory information); and the right to notify the Department of Educationconcerning an academic institution’s failure to complywith FERPA regulations.FERPA provides for confidentiality of student records;however, it also provides for basic identification of peopleat the University of Tennessee without the consent of theindividual. Release of information to third parties includesdirectory information, such as contained in the campustelephone book, in the online web-based people directoryand in sports brochures. Students are notified of theirFERPA rights and the procedures for limiting disclosure ofdirectory information in Hilltopics, at Orientation for newstudents, and on the Web site of the University Registrar,http://ferpa.utk.edu.7

Engineering Cooperative Education (CO-OP)Engineering Professional PracticeTodd Reeves, Director310 Perkins Hall, Knoxville TN 37996-2030http://www.coop.utk.eduCooperative Education (Co-op) ProgramStudents have the opportunity to gain real worldexperience in their engineering field of study by workingat least three semesters with the same employer beforethey graduate. Typically a co-op student will alternatebetween semesters of work and school during theirsophomore and junior years. The exact co-op rotationplan is created by the student in coordination with theEngineering Professional Practice office and the needs oftheir particular co-op employer. Most students find thatco-op adds no more than three to six months of calendartime to their total undergraduate experience.Benefits of Co-opMost full time employers like to see that studentshave some engineering work experience before theygraduate. The co-op program provides a student with atotal of 12 months of work with increasingly challengingresponsibilities and many students find that the secondand third rotations are the most meaningful. Co-op alsoallows students to gain insights into what engineers reallydo on the job and then use that work experience to shapeplans for upper level course work and what type of job topursue upon graduation. The best benefit of participatingin co-op may be that students get paid allowing themto earn money for school and other expenses while stillbeing considered a full time student. Co-op positions areavailable throughout the country with most being locatedin the southeast. Finding that first full-time job can be verycompetitive and students that co-op will normally have anadvantage in the hiring process.In addition to the benefits of working and getting paid,there are also numerous academic scholarships availableto students who have participated in co-op.Internship Program and BenefitsThe internship program differs from co-op in that thestudents will only work one or two assignments typicallywith different employers. The work terms are usually in thesummer. While students can still gain valuable engineeringexperience with multiple employers, the internshipstypically provide a sub-set of the total experience studentsobtain in the co-op program.Co-op and Internship Program RequirementsTo participate fully in the Engineering Professional Practiceprogram, students should register with our office duringthe first semester of their freshman year. They will thenhave an opportunity to go through an in-depth advisementprocess, learn the steps to a successful job search, and beprepared to participate in our Engineering Fairs for co-opand internship opportunities.Before students go on their first assignment, they mustcomplete 30 hours of course work and be in goodacademic standing though the specific GPA requirementswill vary depending on the needs of the employers.13

Gradeshttp://catalog.utk.eduGrades, Credit Hours, and Grade PointAverageThe basic unit of credit at UT Knoxville is the semesterhour. This normally represents one hour of lecture orrecitation or 2 hours of laboratory work per week. Eachcourse at the university carries a number of credit hoursspecified in the course description. At the completion ofeach course, a student will be assigned a grade reflectingthe student’s performance in the course. Passing gradescarry a certain number of quality points per credit hour inthe course. A student’s grade point average is obtainedby dividing the number of quality points the student hasaccumulated at UT Knoxville by the number of hoursthe student has attempted at UT Knoxville, not includinghours for which grades of I, N, NC, NR, P, S and W havebeen received.Undergraduate GradesGradePerformanceLevelQuality PointsPer GradeA Superior 4.00A- Intermediate Grade 3.70B+ Very Good 3.30B Good 3.00B- Intermediate Grade 2.70C+ Fair 2.30C Satisfactory 2.00C- Unsatisfactory 1.70D+ Unsatisfactory 1.30D Unsatisfactory 1.00D- Unsatisfactory .70F Failure 0.00First Year CompositionEnglish 101, 102, 118, 131, and 132 are offered on a system ofA, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, I, NC, W grading.International StudentsEntering international students whose native languageis not English are required to take the University ofTennessee, Knoxville, English Proficiency Examination todetermine placement in the appropriate English course.No credit for any English course is awarded through thisspecial examination.ABC/No Credit Grading SchemeThis grading system does not include a grade for failure;depending on your performance in the course.

It is a trueengineering discipline, even though the product is asintangible as a computer program. At the other pole iscomputer engineering, primarily concerned with firmware(the microcode that controls processors) and hardware(the processors themselves, as well as entire computers).It is not possible to draw a clear line between the twodisciplines; many practitioners function to at least someextent as both computer engineers and computerscientists.Computer Science is the study of software and hardwaresystems, and theory of computation. Students must beable to integrate material and concepts from these areas.So, for example, students use analysis of algorithmsto select or design software to solve a problem on acomputer with parallel architecture. Another examplewould be selecting or writing the software for a networkrouter, combining optimization theory, graph algorithms,networking, knowledge of the hardware and professionalsoftware methods. The emphasis is on foundations and theability to learn new developments in the field.22Career Opportunities in Computer ScienceCareer Opportunities in many fields exist for ourgraduates. Most generally, they are prepared to work inlaboratories that develop software intensive products.These include, for example, automotive components,financial systems, consumer appliances (cell phones,personal computers), communication infrastructuredevices (routers, switches), scientific research facilities(space stations, telescopes, reactors) and weaponsystems.

Pre-Health InformationAll Pre-Health Advising takes place in the Arts & SciencesAdvising Center, 313 Ayres Hall, (865) 974-4481. Advisorsare available in Arts and Sciences Advising Services toassist pre-medical students as they plan their programs.When a student declares a major, he/she should obtainan advisor in the department of the declared major, butshould continue to consult with the pre-medical advisors inArts and Sciences Advising Services about the pre-medicalprogram.Students who are currently enrolled in another college,i.e., Engineering or Architecture, are required to take thefollowing minimum courses for most medical schools:Note that many of these courses have prerequisites andthat the courses listed above constitute the minimalrequirements for most medical schools. Pre-medicalstudents are strongly urged to consult with a healthprofessions advisor on a regular basis in 313 Ayres Hall.Students will want to verify with the medical schools ofinterest for specific requirements beyond what is listedhere.Selection Criteria at UT Health Science Center1. Successful completion of the pre-medical requirementswith grades of C or better earned in each course.2. Letters of evaluation from three faculty members whohave a good awareness of the student’s ability.3. Experience in/exposure to the health field.4. Total academic performance, with attention given tocourse content and load, trends in performance, andgeneral commitment to scholarship.5. Satisfactory scores on the Medical College AdmissionTest (MCAT).6. Personal interview with two members of theCommittee on Admissions. (Competitively qualifiedapplicants will be invited for interviews after theirapplications have been reviewed by the Committee.)7. Other criteria such as extracurricular activities;motivation and goals; research experience; the morals,character, and integrity of the individual; and anydisciplinary or civil records that a person may haveaccrued.Please note that high GPA and MCAT scores are not bythemselves a sufficient basis for entrance into medicalschool. The Committee on Admissions takes a close lookat the total experience of the applicant in making its finaldecisions. In addition, the Committee on Admissionsreserves the right to require additional course work fromany applicant. Correspondence course work must beapproved prior to scheduling.36Alpha Epsilon Delta (AED)Alpha Epsilon Delta is a pre-health honor society thatseeks to provide information and opportunities forstudents with an interest in the health professions. TheTennessee Beta Chapter of AED is active at The Universityof Tennessee. AED activities include information sessionson preparing to apply to professional schools, localspeakers from the medical community, trips to Tennesseemedical schools and health centers, and service activities.The schedule of meetings is available athttp://web.utk.edu/~aed/.Requirements for membership include three terms ofcollege (at least one at UTK), a cumulative GPA of 3.2, ascience GPA of 3.2, and participation in AED sponsoredevents and meetings. Students interested in joining AEDshould apply for membership at the beginning of fall term.Applications are available in Arts and Sciences AdvisingServices, 313 Ayres Hall, and at the organizational Web site.Any pre-health student, regardless of membership, mayparticipate in the programs sponsored by AED.

Engineering HonorsNational Scholarships and FellowshipsThe Office of National Scholarships and Fellowshipsexists to both inform and mentor students who wishto apply for nationally competitive scholarships andfellowships like the Truman, Rhodes, Marshall orFulbright. We also assist outstanding undergraduateswho wish to apply for Rotary Ambassadorial, Goldwaterand Udall Scholarships.The Office of National Scholarships and Fellowships willwork with students to determine what fellowship wouldbest fit their interests. Once students have decided toapply, we will assist them with the application process.To apply for most scholarships administered by ouroffice, students need to begin the application processover a year before the scholarship period begins.For more about each of the scholarships handled by theOffice of National Scholarships and Fellowships, visitF101 Melrose Hall or call (865) 974-7875 to schedule anappointment.ORNL Summer Research and InternshipThere exist numerous opportunities for undergraduatesto supplement their academic learning with real worldexperience. The Chancellor’s Office and Oak RidgeNational Laboratory (ORNL) each sponsor summerinternship programs designed to promote research andcreative activity among undergraduate students. TheDepartment of Energy (DOE) also sponsors summerand semester length opportunities.The role of the faculty mentor is paramount in theseprograms as they will provide guidance in the choiceof a project and in the practice of professionalapproaches and methods. Projects proposed may bea student’s undergraduate thesis, a part of the facultymentor’s research program, another research projector an ongoing project begun previously. The key isthat the student be involved in actual scholarly workindependent of a classroom setting.For more information visit the website at www.ornl.govFor more honors information, contact:Dr. Chris PionkeEngineering Honors Director103 Estabrook Hall(865) 974-9810.Engineering Honors RequirementsBeginning students who wish to pursue an honorsconcentration in one of the engineering majorswill normally be part of the Chancellor’s HonorsProgram or the Haslam Scholars Program. Requirementsfor first-year coursework are:Four 100- or 200-level departmetal honorscourses.

Questions for ReflectionWhy did you choose to pursue a major in Engineering? What are your academic and careergoals? Given the information you have gathered from your orientation sessions and from your individualadvising, do you understand how each class for the semester fits within your curriculum? Reflect on the personal and professional opportunities available to you as an Engineeringstudent. Have you considered an internship or cooperative education experience? Have youthought about participating in undergraduate research? Are you interested in a five-year BS/MS degree path? Are you planning to pursue a pre-medical curriculum? Is graduate school yourgoal? What kind of career do you envision? How many hours do you plan to study each week? Remember, a good rule of thumb is twohours outside of class for every hour spent in class. For a schedule of 16 hours, this would mean32 hours a week in study and preparation, plus the 16 hours spent in class! Do you know whereto find resources to support your academic studies? Don’t hesitate to take advantage of theseoptions! Do you already have an electronic or paper calendar/planner to keep track of due dates, tests,and holidays? Time management will be critical to your success as a college student. Do youknow where to find resources to help you manage your time? Have you thought about an international or intercultural experience? Do you want to studyabroad? If so, what country or region interests you? When might you think about goingabroad? What kinds of classes do you want to take there?Transfer Student reflections (in addition to the questions listed above): Review the evaluation of your credits on your Academic History. Are you currently enrolled inclasses elsewhere? Do you need to send a final transcript from a previous institution for all yourcredit to appear? Do you need to gather syllabi and course descriptions to petition credits you have earned tomeet requirements for your degree? Do you know where you will be advised next semester? Do you know where your departmentis located? Have you considered ways to get involved at the University of Tennessee? Have you looked atthe list of student organizations?51
