4. Common electives for both EE and CmpE degree programs
4.1General education electiveGUIDE TO GENERAL EDUCATION ELECTIVES IN ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING
INTRODUCTION
General education is an important part of the electrical engineering (EE) and computer engineering (CmpE) programs at IUPUI. Besides acquiring skills in all aspects of electrical or computer engineering, our graduates need to become familiar with the many contemporary issues concerning society, cultures, and environment. In addition to their technical skills, engineering students should possess good communication and critical thinking skills. They also need to be aware of any ethical issues that may arise during their professional careers, and be prepared to serve as effective leaders in society and policy-making concerning the development and use of technology.
The IUPUI Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering curricula includes a strong general education component that provides students an integrated and well-rounded
education in the humanities, social sciences, arts, and related areas. A total of 15 credit hours of coursework are required in the general education category. These courses are in addition to the 9 credit hours required in written communications (ENG W131), public speaking (COMM R110), technical communications (TCM 360), and engineering ethics and professionalism (ME 401).
With the assistance of an academic advisor in the department, each student should select 15 credit hours of general education courses in accordance with their own interests and the following rules:
REQUIREMENT
At least 6 credit hours of the remaining 15 credits must be chosen from those courses on the approved list of courses which are indicated as having significant contemporary, societal, or cultural emphasis. Approved courses in this category are shown in bold in the Approved General Education Electives List below.
11 ADDITIONAL RULES
1. General education electives may be found in subjects such as philosophy, religion, history, literature, fine arts, classical studies, sociology, psychology, anthropology, economics,
geology, geography, environment, public affairs, music, and modern languages. A list of currently approved courses is attached.
2. Students are encouraged to explore different areas of general education.
3. At least two of the courses must be at 200 or higher level (to assure depth); or, in the case of foreign languages, coursework beyond the first three credit hours of a particular language can be used in place of 200 level courses.
4. To further insure depth a minimum of 6 credit hours must be selected in at least one department. This requirement will be automatically satisfied, for example, if an approved economics course is chosen as a general education elective in addition to ECON E201.
5. Courses taken must be at least from two different departments. To assure students experience a breadth of topics, no more than 9 credits taken from one department will be counted as general education credit, including credit by examination.
6. Modern language courses, when used as electives, must include at least one 5 credit hour course or two 3 credit hour courses in a single language. Grammar or vocabulary courses in a student's native language may not count as general education elective.
7. Courses such as accounting, industrial management, personal finance, business, ROTC, and personnel administration do not fulfill the purpose of the general education program, regardless of their general value in engineering education, since they basically teach personal skills.
8. Courses that build skills, such as keyboard/computer music courses, physical education, photography, drawing, etc. cannot be used to satisfy the general education requirements.
9. The Pass/Fail option may not be used for ANY courses on an engineering Plan of Study including general education electives. Also, courses completed by correspondence may not be used on an engineering Plan of Study.
10. The approved list of courses may vary from semester to semester. Courses on the approved list during the semester the student takes the course will be accepted even if they are subsequently removed from the list.
11. Students may petition their academic advisor and department chairperson for approval of courses not listed here.

5. Common rules for all ECE degree programs
5.1. Time to complete and submit a plan of studyWhen to complete the plan of study?
A student should create a plan of study as soon as deciding the major. The plan of study should be updated before every semester. A paper copy of the draft plan of study must be submitted to the ECE210 (ECE Seminar) instructor. The final plan of study must be submitted to the ECE487 instructor for department approval.
What should be included in the plan of study? 1. Selection of the elective courses.
2. The semester that each course is to be taken. Advantages of having a plan of study:
1. Knowing if a course is offered in a given semester in the future 2. Knowing that some important courses must be taken early
3. An approved plan of study is a promise by the ECE department to allow the students to graduate according to the latest curriculum or according to the approved plan of study even if the curriculum changes. A student without an approved plan of study must follow the latest curriculum.
4. Usually helps a student to graduate at the intended time. 5. Avoid delayed graduation due to inadequate planning.
15 5.2 Transfer credits
Transfer of credits from another institution involves the following procedures:
1. Students must submit official transcripts from all universities attended to the Office of Admissions. This is normally done as part of the application process for admission to the university. However, sometimes a student will do work at another university after
matriculating at IUPUI.
2. The Office of Admissions transfers in the courses from accredited domestic universities with grades of C or better. (International Admissions handles international transfer credit.) Credit hour adjustments are made for schools on the quarter system or
international universities with systems different than those in the U.S. Courses that have been already articulated with IUPUI will be transferred in with IUPUI course numbers. Otherwise the credit will be given an undistributed credit designation.
3. The freshman engineering advisors in the New Student Academic Advising Center are responsible for assuring that all transfer work is properly articulated. For undistributed credit, the advisors try to find course descriptions on line. If descriptions are not available or are lacking sufficient detail, it is the student’s responsibility to provide needed course descriptions, textbooks, and/or syllabi. Freshman engineering advisors work with IUPUI departments and with engineering course coordinators and the ECE Associate Chair to obtain approvals for course equivalencies. The department may choose not to accept courses that are more than ten years old.
4. Freshman engineering advisors in the Advising Center prepare course substitution forms with appropriate group and requirement numbers for entry into the SIS system. Course descriptions are attached for every course with undistributed credit.
5. After approval is given by the ECE department on the substitution forms, the course substitutions are entered into the SIS system, generally by the Assistant to the Chair.
16
5.3 Co-op and Internship option for BSEE and BSCmpE
To enable ECE students to get real working experience in the fields of Electrical and Computer Engineering, ECE department encourages all students to get their BS degree through the internship option. Internship involves a student getting real industrial working experience in companies or government agencies. Students taking the internship option have a better understanding of the electrical and computer engineering field, have a better
connection between what was studied in the classroom and real engineering applications, and have a better chance to find good jobs after graduation.
Requirements of internship option
1. A student taking the internship option needs to get a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3 internship credit hours which are counted as a technical elective in his/her plan of study. One internship credit hour requires working a minimum of 200 hours in a semester or for the entire summer, paid or unpaid, in one of the following situations:
(a) Industrial intern --- An industrial intern typically works one semester or the entire summer at one company and another semester or summer in another company. The minimum GPA requirement for being an industrial Intern is 2.3.
(b) Traditional co-op --- A co-op typically has planned work with the same company for entire 2 or 3 semesters (2 to 3 credits). Sometimes, a co-op is assigned to the same department for all three semesters. Sometimes, a co-op moves from department to department each semester. The minimum GPA requirement for taking co-op is 2.7. Note: Working in university labs, or on undergraduate research projects does NOT count
as an internship in the ECE department.
2. A student must get prior ECE department approval for each of his/her internship sessions. 3. Students must register for I199, I299, or I399 for an industrial intern or register for C199,
C299, or C399 for co-op credits for each internship session in the same semester the internship is taken. (Register for 199 for the first intern session, 299 for the second intern session, and 399 for the third intern session.)
4. In order to receive a grade, the student must submit a report in a specified format (see advisor to get the format requirement) and a supervisor evaluation (see advisor to get the form) upon the end of each internship session.
17 5.4 ECE Honors program
1. Qualification:
Students with a GPA of 3.3 and 12 hours of credit, or entering high school students with a minimum combined math and verbal (critical reading) SAT score of 1200, or who are graduating in the top 10 percent of their high school class, qualify for the ECE Honors Program.
2. Requirement of graduation with honors:
Students must complete 24 credit hours of honors work. These hours must include at least 12 credit hours of ECE courses with the H-Option and 6 credit hours in regular 500 level ECE courses. To graduate with honors, the student must have an overall GPA of 3.3 with at least a 3.5 in H-Option ECE courses and in 500 level ECE courses. The 399H course will not be accepted as an ECE honors course.
3. H-option courses
The following courses provide the H-option:
ECE255, ECE 270, ECE 362, ECE365, ECE 382, ECE 440, ECE 471, ECE 496, ECE 492, and 500 level ECE courses. If a student considers taking the H-option with other courses, please consult the ECE department.
4. Procedure:
Step 1. Students who want to be in the honors program need to apply in the ECE department before taking any H-option course.
Step 2. The department gives permission to qualified students.
Step 3. Students need to indicate to the department which course they will take for H-option at the beginning of the semester. Students also need to inform the instructor regarding their H-option when taking an H-option course.
Step 4. The ECE department will contact the instructor to get the grades for the H-option course.
Step 5. The ECE department will communicate with IUPUI honors program and handle all necessary paper work for the honors program.
18
5.5Incomplete, Deferred, or Withdrawal grades for courses (no grade point value assigned):
I grade: Incomplete, no grade; a temporary record indicating that the work is satisfactory as of the end of the semester but has not been completed. The grade of Incomplete may be assigned only when a student has successfully completed at least three fourths of the work in a course and unusual circumstances prevent the student from completing the work within the time limits previously set. An instructor may require the student to secure the recommendation of the dean that the circumstances warrant a grade of
Incomplete. When an Incomplete is given, the instructor will specify the academic work to be completed and may establish a deadline of up to one year. If the student has not completed the required work by the end of the following year, the registrar will automatically change the I to an F.
R grade: Deferred; a grade given for those courses that normally require more than one academic session to complete, such as project, thesis, and research courses. The grade indicates that work is in progress and that the final report has not been submitted for evaluation.
W grade: Withdrawal; a grade of W is recorded on the final grade report. During the first half of a semester or session, students may officially withdraw from classes without penalty if they obtain the approval of their advisor. During the third quarter of a semester or session, students may withdraw from classes if they obtain the approval of their advisor and the appropriate instructors; during the last quarter of the semester, students will be allowed to withdraw from classes only under extenuating circumstances. At that time they must obtain the approval of the appropriate instructors, their advisor, and the dean, and must also present a written justification from a doctor, member of the clergy, advisor, or similar person of authority. The fact that a student merely stops attending a class will not entitle the student to a grade of W.
19 5.6. FX a failed course
An undergraduate student who retakes any course may elect to have only the final grade counted in computation of the cumulative semester index, in accordance with the limitations listed below. After retaking the course, the enrollment and original grade will be removed from calculations used to determine the student’s cumulative GPA. The student’s transcript, however, will continue to show the original enrollment in the course and all grades earned for each subsequent enrollment.
This policy is subject to the following limitations:
1. Students may exercise the grade replacement option for no more than 15 credit hours, including any courses in which the former FX option was used.
2. A grade may be replaced only by another grade for the same class.
3. A student may exercise the Grade Replacement Policy a maximum of two times for a single course.
4. The request to remove a grade from the cumulative GPA calculation by this method is irreversible.
5. The second enrollment for any course covered by this policy must have occurred during fall semester 1996 or later.
Students who plan to use the grade replacement option must inform the engineering and technology recorder after they have retaken a course and wish to apply the policy. 5.7 Claim Graduation
1. Student must apply for graduation in the beginning of the graduation semester. The dead line for application is the beginning of the final semester.
2. Student must take at least 32 credits in the declared major at IUPUI to get a Purdue University BS degree.

3.8 or higher, a cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher, and who are approved by the program faculty are placed on the Dean’s List. These honor students receive letters from the Dean recognizing their meritorious efforts.
6.2. Graduation with Distinction
By awarding degrees “With Distinction” or “With Highest Distinction” the School of Engineering and Technology recognizes the outstanding scholastic achievement of selected associate and bachelor’s degree candidates. Distinction at graduation is awarded on the basis of all course work taken for letter grades. Individuals must complete all the requirements for their field of study and meet the following conditions:
1. A candidate for the bachelor’s degree with distinction must have earned at least 65 hours of credit in the Purdue University or Indiana University system. A candidate for an associate degree with distinction must have earned at least 35 hours of credit in the Purdue University or Indiana University system.
2. Honors are awarded according to the following cumulative semester grade point averages: Top 10 percent—With Distinction
Top 30 percent of the top 10 percent—With Highest Distinction
Note: For the purpose of determining graduation honors, the calculated cumulative semester grade point average includes all courses taken for a grade in either the Purdue or the Indiana University system, regardless of when the courses were taken.
Students who are awarded their degrees with distinction receive corresponding diplomas and are given special recognition during the annual Commencement exercise.

7. Academic Probation and Dismissal
7.1 ProbationFull-time undergraduate students are automatically on academic probation when either the cumulative semester index or the semester index is below 2.0 (C). Part-time students are automatically on academic probation when either the cumulative semester index or the grade point average for the last 12 credit hours of consecutive enrollment is below 2.0 (C).
All students on probation are automatically placed on the academic checklist. Students on the
checklist must obtain the signature of a departmental advisor in order to register.
Students who, in subsequent enrollments, do not improve significantly may receive a letter stating that they will be subject to dismissal if an index of 2.0 (C) or higher is not earned in the current enrollment period. Such students may register only after their grades have been posted and their departmental checklist clearance form has been approved by the dean. 7.2. Removal from Probation
Students are removed from academic probation when they complete 12 credit hours of consecutive enrollment with a minimum grade point average of 2.0, provided their overall grade point average is also at or above 2.0.
7.3 Academic Dismissal
Full-time students may be dismissed when they fail to attain a 2.0 semester grade point average in any two consecutive semesters or when their cumulative semester index has remained below 2.0 (C) for any two consecutive semesters. Part-time students may be dismissed when their cumulative semester index or grade point average for the last 18 credit hours of consecutive enrollment is below 2.0 (C).
