ENGINEERING Academic Programs The Department of Aerospace Engineering, Mechanics, & Engineering Science (AeMES) offers the bachelor and master degrees in Engi- neering Science and the master and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Engineering Mechanics. In addition, the AeMES department offers the bachelor, master, and PhD degrees in Aerospace Engineering. The undergraduate curriculum combines perspectives from the liberal arts and sciences with essential engineering fundamentals and specific applications to selected areas of concen- tration. The senior design course brings together students from throughout the university to work in interdisciplinary teams on projects such as airborne rail guns, an expert system for tibial fracture diagnosis, robots for hostile environ- ments and systems for agricultural production and life support in long-range manned space missions. Engineering Science accommodates a wide range of objectives, by selecting electives for a specific area of concentration planned to meet individual educational goals. The number of possible areas of concentration is almost limit- less and new programs are continually being developed. For example: Biomedical Engineering *Coastal and oceanographic engineering SComposite materials *Dynamics and control Engineering Administration Scientific computing Solids and structures Space systems Thermofluid systems Research Programs The department's active research program sponsored by the National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, NASA, and other agen- cies provides the opportunity for undergradu- ate students to participate in research through classroom assignments, individual studies, and employment as research assistants. Many of the programs listed above have resulted from ongo- ing research in the department and are offered cooperatively with other programs throughout the university. Admission Requirements Admission to Engineering Science is a selec- tive process based on the student's overall aca- demic record and technical grade point average (calculus, chemistry, and physics). Successful applicants in the past have had a pre-engineer- ing grade point average of 2.5 or higher with at least a 2.5 in the technical courses. Outstanding students are encouraged to apply after complet- ing two courses in calculus and one in either chemistry or physics. Application must be received before the deadline date, stated else- where in the catalog, in order to receive full con- sideration 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 Engineering Science program will place the stu- dent 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.

Environmental Engineering Sciences Environmental Engineering Sciences is a field in which the application of engineering and scientific principles is used to protect and preserve human health and the environment. It embraces broad environmental concerns includ- ing air and water quality, solid and hazardous wastes, water resources and management, envi- ronment policy, radiological health, environ- mental biology and chemistry, systems ecology, water and wastewater treatment, and wetlands ecology. For example, water and wetland resources are under constant threat of pollution from the sewage of an ever-expanding population and from the multitude of new chemicals being developed by our technological society. Han- dling and disposing of toxic wastes has become one of the most critical problems facing environ- mental engineers today. The program is designed to address contemporary environmen- tal problems faced by Florida and the nation. Career opportunities exist in consulting engi- neering, public and government agencies, industry and utilities. Students in other fields are encouraged to join with the engineers in this program by selecting environmental engineering sciences courses and when suitable to undertake mas- ter's and doctoral research at the interface between environmental engineering sciences and their major field. The requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering are given below. In addition, the Department of Chemical Engi- neering, the departments of Civil Engineering, and Aerospace Engineering, Mechanics & Engi- neering Science permit their students to pursue a technical concentration in Environmental Engineering Sciences. This is accomplished through the selection of appropriate technical elective courses taught by the Department of Environmental Engineering Sciences. Persons with pre-medical interests can satisfy admission requirements for medical school with this pro- gram and judicious selection of electives. Stu- dents from other departments are also welcome to take courses in Environmental Engineering
