ENGINEERING 5. Students with insufficient backgrounds in physics may be denied direct entrance into PHY 3048. Such students will be directed to take a lower level course such as PHY 2020. After successful remediation students may enter the physics sequence: PHY 3048, PHY 2055L, PHY 3049 and PHY 2056L. 6. The department requires the C" language section of CGS 2425. 7. Most students take STA 3032 and 4210. Other sequences are permitted. Students with superior mathematical skills may prefer STA 4321 and 4322. Also permitted are STA 4321 and 4210. 8. Students may take other courses in place of EGM 3400. Students may substitute EGM 3401, or EIN 4321, or EML 4321. Special care should be taken to ensure that either the pre- requisites of the substituted course are met or that the instructor's permission has been granted. 9. The curriculum requires 11 credits of techni- cal electives. One course in "small comput- ers" is required. At this time ESI 4161 is the only acceptable course. Two credits of engi- neering graphics are required. When EML 3023 is taken, one credit accrues to technical electives. ECO 3101 is a four credit course. When this course is used to satisfy the microeconomic requirements the extra credit accrues to technical electives. The additional credits needed to bring the total up to 11 should be approved by the department adviser. 10. There is no course called Human Biosystems. This requirement may be met by courses bearing the biological science designation and having significant human content. PET 3320 is a good choice although there may be several other acceptable courses. The depart- ment adviser's approval must be obtained. Note that general biology does not fulfill this requirement. Systems Engineering Option The curriculum for this option may be obtained by deleting the following from the industrial engineering option: ACG 2021C Financial Accounting...................... EGM 3520 Mechanics of Materials ..............3. EIN 4365 Facilities Planning Materials ...........3 and adding the following: EEL 4657 Linear Control Systems................3. Another counselor-approved EEL course ..........3 ESI 4235 Stochastic Systems and Reliability Models .............................3 EIN 4355 Games and Economic Decision M odels.............................. ............. 12 Total Credits Required for Degree 128 The systems engineering option does not contain the requirement for course work in microeconomics as specified in the industrial engineering option (see 3d above). Students in this option must take EEL 3111, not EEL 3003. The technical electives must be of strong technical orientation with at least six credits in a well-defined area. Concurrent Degrees of Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering and Master of Business Administration To enhance their careers, many graduate engineers embark on the Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.). The combination of a baccalaureate in engineering and the M.B.A. is regarded as a valuable means for obtaining managerial or executive positions. The College of Engineering, through the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, and the College of Business Administration offer an opportunity to obtain concurrently the B.S.I.S.E. and M.B.A. degrees. An applicant for the combined curriculum must first be admitted to the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering for study toward the degree of B.S.I.S.E. Immediately after completion of the required statistics courses, ESI 4567 and ESI 4568, and with the encouragement and endorsement of the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, the student should apply to the College of Business Administration for accep- tance into the combined program. This latter admission will be based on the student's acade- mic record as well as performance on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT). The student must complete all details of the application before April 1 to be consid- ered for the program, which starts in the fall. International students must meet university requirements for the TOEFL. A successful applicant may begin the MBA portion of the program only in the fall; ESI 4312, 4313, 4314 and 4523 must be completed. Students also are expected to gain work experi- ence through internships or co-ops. The concurrent curriculum is intended for superior students. Those completing the concur- rent curriculum receive two degrees that are fully equivalent to the degrees taken separately. The concurrent curriculum contains all program requirements of both degrees, but owing to the complementary nature of the two disciplines, entrants are relieved of certain course require- ments. The following four courses may be deleted from the B.S.I.S.E. curriculum: ACG 2021C EIN 4354 Microeconomics 3 credits of technical elective The following course work may be deleted from the MBA curriculum: Managerial Statistics Operations Management 6 credits of free elective These deletions reduce by 24 credits the requirements of the two separate degrees. The concurrent program should take six years. Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies Students who wish to plan a program of study in engineering markedly different from programs indicated under the department descriptions should contact the engineering dean's office. Requirements for admission to an interdisciplinary studies program include a strong educational commitment and a grade point average of at least 2.5. The program requires approval by a committee consisting of three engineering faculty and the academic dean of the college, and must satisfy the mini- mum engineering science course requirements. Completion leads to the B.S. degree. Materials Science and Engineering Everything Americans use is composed of materials, from computer chips to flexible con- crete skyscrapers, from plastic bags to artificial hips, from fiber optical cables to automobiles. Materials science and engineering involves making these materials reliable and useful. This is accomplished through design, processing and analysis of materials having controlled composi- tions, microstructures and properties. The materials engineer occupies a unique position between the science and the practice of engineering, advantageous because it opens a wide variety of avenues for professional devel- opment. Since progress with new engineering concepts is often dependent upon success in advancing the capabilities of materials, the materials engineer is in constant demand by many segments of industry engaged in produc- tion, application and research on materials and in private engineering practice. The bachelor's degree program provides a general materials science core with specializa- tion in ceramics, electronic materials, metals or polymers. Biomaterials also is taught at the undergraduate and graduate levels. For the student whose primary interest lies in research, a graduate program leading to advanced degrees is provided. Research areas included are: metals, ceramics, polymers, elec- tronic materials, composites, magnetic materials and biomaterials. Students interested in pursu- ing a career in magnetic materials should con- sider the undergraduate specialization in elec- tronic materials, while those interested in a career in biomedical or biomaterials would be well served in the undergraduate program with the metals, ceramics or polymers specializa- tions. The entire offering of courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels is designed to furnish electives for engineers in other spe- cialties who desire a more extensive under- standing of materials.
