ENGINEERING Chemical Engineering department has a limited number of awards for students transferring at the junior level. Industry support may also be available in other departments. Minority stu- dents planning to major in engineering should contact the Office of Minority Affairs in the Col- lege of Engineering for information about finan- cial aid. After enrolling in the college, a student may apply for a college, departmental, or minority scholarship. Awards are made each spring for the following academic year. Most awards are based on financial need as well as scholastic performance. Applications are available early during the spring semester from each depart- ment or the Office of Academic Programs, Col- lege of Engineering. An emergency short-term loan fund is acces- sible through the Office for Student Financial Affairs to assist students through emergency sit- uations. HONORARY, PROFESSIONAL, AND TECHNICAL SOCIETIES Students in the College of Engineering are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities including active membership in hon- orary, professional, and technical societies at the department, college, and university levels. Nationally recognized engineering organiza- tions having student chapters are represented, including: .

Admission Requirements The College of Engineering encourages applications from all persons independent of race, color, religion, sex, disability, age, or national origin. All applicants are referred to the college for consideration. Because of the limitations on space, facilities, and number of faculty, the College of Engineer- ing has become a selective admission college. Requirements for admission will vary between programs. Applicants with specific questions are encouraged to contact the Office of Academ- ic Programs, College of Engineering or individ- ual departments for appropriate counseling. Applicants not accepted in their first choice pro- gram may request consideration for another program. Direct Admission: Requirements for direct admission to the college are given in the Admis- sions section of this catalog. Early Admission: A student in the lower divi- sion can request transfer to the College of Engi- neering any time after completion of one semester. Many departments require such students to have completed a substantial portion of the pre- engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and English course sequences described under the Lower Division Curriculum (next section). Students desiring early admission should contact the department of their choice for infor- mation on that department's specific admission requirements. Transfer from Community and Junior Colleges: A student in a community or junior college who has completed the Associate of Arts degree or 60 semester hours of credit is eligible to apply to transfer directly into the College of Engineering. Students wishing to transfer into the College of Engineering after completing the Associate of Arts degree in a community or junior college should tailor their Associate of Arts program as follows: Satisfy the general education requirements of the community or junior college. Complete two sequential courses of foreign language in secondary school or the equiva- lent of 8-10 semester hours at the postsec- ondary level. Complete the following technical course work with a minimum grade point average of 2.5: a. mathematics through analytic geometry, and calculus of several variables 12 semester hours; also take differential equa- tions as required by the proposed major 3 semester hours is recommended when time and availability permit. b. chemistry including general chemistry with laboratory and qualitative analysis 4 semester hours c. general physics with calculus and labora- tory 8 semester hours Refer to the University of Florida Transfer Advisement Guidebook for specific course requirements for each degree program. This guidebook is available at each community or junior college. Avoid taking technical or vocational edu- cation courses (i.e., those required for the Associate of Science degree). Such courses are not normally creditable toward an engi- neering degree. Lower Division Curriculum Students whose high school preparation meets the criteria previously described will nor- mally complete the pre-engineering program during the freshman and sophomore years at the University of Florida.

NOTE 2: Two courses should be taken from the same disciplinary area or at least one of the courses must be upper level (3000 or higher) in two of the three groups carrying this note. NOTE 3: Certain courses which satisfy the requirement in Literature and the Arts, Historical and Philosophical Studies or Social and Behavioral Sciences, may simultaneously satisfy the six credit requirements in International Studies and Diversity. Courses in those areas should be carefully selected to mini- mize the number of courses needed to satisfy degree requirements.
