University General EducationTo satisfy university degree requirements, an engineering student must take a minimum of 18 credit hours of approved university general education courses. A minimum of three credit hours must be taken in humanities and three credit hours in the social sciences, and at least six credit hours of the humanities and social science credit hours must be at the 300 level or above.
This requirement may be met with required courses in the curriculum and/or with electives, e.g., humanities and social science electives, which have also been designated as university general education courses. In most instances, courses will be used as ``overlays,'' e.g., to satisfy concurrently a requirement based on accreditation criteria and a university general education requirement.
Requirements
Humanities and social science: 9 credit hours (to be selected from university general education courses that are also on the engineering approved humanities and social science elective list) (at least two 300-level courses in humanities and/or social sciences) Natural science: 3 credit hours Unrestricted disciplines: 6 credit hours
No more than 7 credit hours from a single department. No more than 3 credit hours from the College of Engineering. This course may not be in the student's major unless approved by the Faculty Senate. All courses must be taken for a letter grade.
For a list of approved university general education courses, refer to the latest Course Schedule or to college advising information. The classification of various humanities and social science electives is determined by the respective accrediting organization.
Students who have pursued and acquired acceptable academic credit prior to fall 1997 are not obligated. Students who pursue and complete their first acceptable credit in fall 1997 or later must meet all aspects of the university general education program.
