College Overview

• Seven Schools

– School of Advanced Structures – School of Aerospace Systems

– School of Computing Sciences and Informatics – School of Dynamic Systems

– School of Electronic and Computing Systems – School of Energy, Environmental, Biological and

Medical Engineering

Accreditation

• Most programs accredited by ABET

• Construction Mgt. accredited by ACCE • Architectural / Environmental –

– No programs may be accredited until one

person has graduated so Environmental and AE officially cannot be accredited at this time but we have no reason to believe that they will not be.

– All students get 600 prints

– Labs available in Baldwin 548 and 550, Baldwin 860B and D (library), Old Chem 614, 825, and 834, and

ERC 616-617 (24 hr)

– Office of College Computing has color printing for projects and offers many software packages for free – Remote Desktop Available for Matlab, remote

printing, etc.

Special Facilities, Services, and

Programs

• Rowe Center for Women’s Studies

– Room only for women’s use (though if you are a man do not swipe your card to prove it

doesn’t open for you)

• Society for Women Engineering

– Specialized Events for Women in Engineering

• Emerging Ethnic Engineers

– Groups that are minorities in engineering are invited for summer program and extra course support

Special Facilities, Services, and

Programs

• Learning Communities

– Students in groups of ~20 have upper classman advisor

– Students take all courses together

– Students in LCs are less likely to drop engineering

• Honors Program

– University wide program – No Special Application

Integrated Freshman* (and

beyond) Curriculum

• All freshmen take same courses independent of major

– Calculus 1&2, Chemistry 1, Engineering Models, English Composition, Engineering Fundamentals – Purpose is to allow freshmen flexibility amongst

majors

– Schools are attempting to work out school specific curricula for first 2+ years

*curriculum not yet fully integrated but hopefully will be by fall 2013

ACCEND Program

• Students no longer apply to ACCEND from high school, but apply for it at the end of

their first year

• 5 – Year Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree

– Students have increased number of options including M.Eng programs and Master’s in Engineering Managament
