DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING

Paul J. Kauffmann, Interim Chairperson, Slay Building

The Department of Engineering offers a BS in engineering with three concentration areas: systems engineering, engineering management, and bioprocess engineering.

The mission of the department is to provide a theory-based, application-oriented general engineering education that serves as a basis for career success and lifelong learning. Our graduates demonstrate the engineering and scientific knowledge to analyze, design, improve and evaluate integrated technology–based systems. Our program welcomes a diverse student body and provides the support to foster their success.

Graduates of the BS in engineering program will

1. Use their education to be successful in a technical career or graduate studies, demonstrating competence in applying classical methods and modern engineering tools,
2. Analyze technical, environmental, and societal issues related to engineering designs and technology systems,

1. Be productive team members and leaders, using skills in human relations and communication,

1. Practice a lifelong commitment to learning and professional development, and
2. Demonstrate commitment to the professional and ethical standards of engineering and recognize the importance of community and professional service.

The engineering program accepted its first students in fall 2004 and will graduate its first class in spring 2008. At that time we will seek accreditation from the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). In accordance with ABET requirements, graduates of the BS program have: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of math, science and engineering; (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments/analyze and interpret data; (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process; (d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams; (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems; (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility; (g) an ability to communicate effectively; (h) an ability to evaluate the impact of technology in a global/societal context; (i) an appreciation for lifelong learning; (j) knowledge of contemporary issues; and (k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern tools for engineering practice.

The BS program is distinctive from many other engineering programs in that it 1) focuses on hands-on project applications of engineering beginning with the freshman year and continuing throughout the program; 2) promotes a team-based learning approach where students work closely with each other and the faculty; 3) integrates science, math and engineering content to assure a coordinated presentation of concepts that flow from theory to advanced practice and application.

Engineering students are encouraged to pursue registration as a Professional Engineer (PE). The first step in this process is completion of the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam. Students are required to take the FE exam during their senior year. Subsequent to graduation, professional licensure requires at least four years of progressive engineering experience and successful completion of the PE Examination.

Admission

Admission to the university does not guarantee admission to the BSE program. Upon admission to the university, students who have 1100 SAT scores or equivalent and have completed the second year of high school algebra with a grade of B or better may apply for admission to the engineering program. Students who have an associate degree from an approved pre engineering program will be directly admitted into the BSE program. All other students with transfer hours will be individually evaluated for program credit. Current ECU students transferring from the General College or other campus programs must have a minimum 2.5 GPA and have completed prerequisites for MATH 2171 with a grade of B or better.

Entering freshmen should submit an ECU admission application package, high school transcript, and SAT and/or ACT scores for admission consideration. Associate degree students should submit transcripts and two letters of recommendations from faculty. ECU general college students should obtain permission from the program coordinator.

Admission to the university or college does not guarantee admission to the engineering program. Additional evaluation elements for engineering students are described below.

Regular freshman admission: Entering freshmen should submit an ECU admission application package, high school transcript, and SAT and/or ACT scores for admission consideration. The average SAT for freshmen admitted to the engineering program at ECU is typically over 1100. Performance in math and science courses, high school GPA, and rank in class are also considered key indicators of potential success in this program.

Provisional freshman admission: Students who are not initially admitted to the engineering program, but who express a commitment to obtaining an engineering degree, are permitted to have the opportunity to succeed as a provisional engineering admission. Provisional students may still enroll in engineering courses and follow the freshman curriculum. Upon successful completion of all first-year courses (including engineering courses and at least Calculus I), with a cumulative GPA of 2.5, students can complete a change of major form and formally transfer into the engineering program.

Transfer admission: Students transferring to the engineering program must have an overall GPA of 2.5 or better in all course work attempted at the college(s) from which they are transferring in addition to meeting university transfer requirements. Students who have completed an associate degree from an approved pre-engineering program will be directly admitted to the BS program. Transfer students who do not have a 2.5 or better GPA are individually evaluated and the complete academic record is examined with particular emphasis on performance in math and science classes. These students may be admitted on a provisional basis and permitted to take certain engineering courses based on a case-by-case assessment. Provisional transfer students are expected to demonstrate the ability to succeed by completing their first semester at ECU with a 2.5 GPA.

Special Department Programs

Internships. The department encourages internships at local and regional employers and in service learning projects. Full-time students who have completed 24 credit hours and have a 2.0 minimum cumulative GPA are eligible for internships. Transfer students must complete 12 credit hours at ECU before applying for the internship program.

ECU Engineering, Inc. Projects supplied by local and regional businesses, industries and non-profits give students opportunities to gain experience. Working in teams, students learn real-world skills by defining, designing, building and testing engineering solutions.
