ENGINEERING 7 I pre-engineering grade point average of 2.5 or higher with at least a 2.5 in the technical cours- es. Outstanding students are encouraged to apply after completing two courses in calculus and one in either chemistry or physics. Applica- tions must be received before the deadline date, stated elsewhere in the catalog, in order to receive full consideration and counseling before registration. Progress and Retention Policy It is important to read the footnotes to the curriculum. The minimum grade requirements are designed to assure orderly progress through the program. Note that in addition to requisite foundation courses, there is a group of advanced undergraduate courses for which minimum grades of C are required for gradua- tion. Failure to meet the academic standards specified by the university, the college, or the Aerospace Engineering program will place the student on academic probation. Probation requires that the student meet specific terms of a planned program prepared by the undergradu- ate adviser and student. Failure to meet the terms of probation for two semesters will result in exclusion from the program. Academic Advisement Because the department takes an interest in each student in the program, students are encouraged to obtain counseling from the AeMES department each term. Freshmen, sophomores, and transfer students from com- munity colleges and other institutions are also welcome to seek pre-admission counseling in order to plan a curriculum designed to meet individual educational requirements and career objectives.

Agricultural Engineering The agricultural and food industry is the largest single industry in the United States and in Florida. The growth of agriculture and tech- nology have proceeded together and now agri- cultural production and processing industries require advanced machines and systems. The industries providing these machines and the related systems require engineering skills which agricultural engineers provide. The agricultural engineer is also involved in natural resources conservation stemming from drainage and watershed hydrology activities. Agricultural engineering is unique in its con- cern for the engineering problems of biological production and processing. The agricultural engineer solves the engineering problems asso- ciated with agriculture such as the conversion of the sun's energy into biological (food) products using soil nutrition resources and water in con- trolled ways. The agricultural engineer uses basic engineering training combined with knowledge of agricultural and biological sys- tems to design functional machines, and equip- ment to process and handle these products so that quality is enhanced. No challenge could be greater and more rewarding than that related to fod production and processing in view of the population explosion and projected food short- age. The education of the agricultural engineer includes basic physical and engineering sciences and also courses in biological and agricultural sciences. The courses in agricultural engineering unify the concepts learned into a practical abili- ty to solve a broad range of engineering prob- lems confronting the agricultural and food industry. Agricultural engineers have numerous career opportunities in various segments of the large Florida agricultural industry and with manufacturers of equipment and supplies for agriculture throughout the nation. Agricultural engineers are sought by state and federal agen- cies for careers in irrigation, drainage, and water resource management and pollution con- trol. Excellent opportunities are available for graduate study. This program is offered cooper- atively with the College of Agriculture. Degree Programs: The Agricultural Engineer- ing department offers the following degrees: Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering, Master of Engineering, Master of Science, the Engineer degree, and Doctor of Philosophy. Admission Requirements: Applicants should understand that admission to this program is a selective process. Admission will be based on a student's entire record including educational objectives, courses completed, quality of aca- demic record, and other important facts. Priori- ty in admission will be given to those students whose potential on the basis of the whole record indicates the greatest likelihood of success in the program. Applicants should have a cumulative grade point average of at least a 2.0 and a "C" average in pre-engineering technical course sequences (calculus, chemistry, and physics). Special Grade Requirements: In addition to the college requirements for graduation, a mini- mum course grade of C is required of all Agri- cultural Engineering majors in Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials, and in each required Agricultural Engineering course. Stu- dents receiving less than a C grade in such courses will be required to repeat the course as soon as possible.
