College of Engineering and Applied Science Curriculum & Advising Presentation

How is the Curriculum Structured? Your engineering education is like a pyramid, built on a foundation of your high school and life experience

How is the Curriculum Structured? Freshman year is built on that foundation to make you aware of math and the sciences

How is the Curriculum Structured? Sophomore year gives you applications of math in the engineering sciences. It also teaches you problem solving.

How is the Curriculum Structured? Junior year takes you into your major. You can focus your activities to your area of interest.

How is the Curriculum Structured? Senior year allows you to specialize within your field. These examples illustrate the variety of areas you can pursue in each major.

Why is the Curriculum so structured? v v EAC/ABET – – Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology – – Traditional engineering disciplines v v CAC/ABET – – Computer Accreditation Commission of the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology – – Computer Science v v They require specific minimums

Minimum Requirements for Traditional Engineering Disciplines v v 1 year of Math & Science v v 1 1/2 years of Engineering Topics - Engineering Science & Design v v A general education component (University Studies Program) v v A major design experience v v Specific requirements for each major v v All engineering & computer science programs are accredited

Common Pitfalls v v Need a “C” or better in all courses that are prerequisites to required ES courses. For example, ES 2110 (Statics) and MATH 2205 (Calculus II) are prerequisites to ES 2120 (Dynamics). v v COSC students need a “C” or better in all COSC courses.

Common Pitfalls v v If you require PHYS 1210 (Engr Physics I) in your curriculum, then you must complete it before or concurrently with ES 2120 (Dynamics) v v If you require PHYS 1220 (Engr Physics II) in your curriculum, then it is strongly suggested that you complete it before or concurrently with ES 2210 (Circuits)

USP 2003 v General education requirement for all students who start Fall 2003 or later v Intellectual Community –1-3 hours of I courses – covered by ES 1000 v Writing –3 hours of WA – covered by ENGL 1010, ENGL 1210, HP 1020 v Quantitative Reasoning (math) and Science –All engineering curricula automatically fulfill this requirement

USP 2003 v v Cultural Context – – 9 hours minimum; 3 courses from the following u u 3 hours of CH (humanities), u u 3 hours of CS (social science), and u u 3 hours of CA (visual & performing arts) u u 3 hours of C (integrated course) v v Oral Communications – – For ME, ESE, COSC majors – COJO 1010 – – CHE: Completion of ES 1000, CHE 4050, 4080 – – PETE: Completion of ES 1000, PETE 4050, 4080 – – ARE: Completion of ES 1000, ARE 3600, 4600 – – CVLE: Completion of ES 1000, CE 2100, 4900 – – EE/CPEN: Completion of ES 1000, EE 4820, 4830

USP 2003 v v US and Wyoming Constitutions: – – 3 hours; one of the following: POLS 1000, ECON 1200, HIST 1211, HIST 1221, or HIST 1251 v Embeddable Components (can be taken in conjunction with another USP designated course): –Information Literacy – L – ES 1000 covers this –3 hours of Writing 2 - WB –3 hours of Writing 3 – WC – all majors have a required course that covers this –Global Awareness – G –Diversity in the U.S. - D

ES 1000 v v ES1000 Covers Two or Three USP Criteria – – Intellectual Community (I) – – Includes: – – Class participation – – Design Challenge – – Outside Activities – –Information Literacy (L) u u >= 70 on the TIP Tutorial u u Acceptable Research Paper and Source Assessment – –Oral Communications (1/3 O) u u Acceptable Participation in the Oral Presentation v v If All Three Criteria are not met, You MUST receive an F in the course, no matter what grade you have from your point score.

Registration v v Advising week is Nov 3 – 7, 2014 v v Go to your advisor’s office at least the week before and sign up for an appointment on his/her door schedule. v v Prepare a tentative schedule prior to your meeting (See what classes are coming up and make a schedule that fits the available classes. This is your job, not the advisors!) v v There are no Power Groups in the Spring

Registration v v Once you and your advisor have agreed on a set of courses, prepare a Course Request Form with specific sections of those courses v v Class schedules can be found online or you can do a Class Lookup on WyoWeb v v

v v Get advisor’s signature on your Course Request Form. The advisor may have your PERC number, otherwise… v v Take your signed course request form to your departmental office staff to receive your PERC number and time/date to register – – The PERC number is different each semester Registration

v v Use WyoWeb at your assigned time v v Confirm your local address (change with the Office of the Registrar if necessary), note any holds or stops v v If you have difficulties (i.e. closed classes) see your advisor, the departmental staff or the Center for Student Services in EN 2079

Mid-term Reports v v Must access your mid-term grade report via WyoWeb v v P/D/F v v Blank – class not reported by instructor

Withdrawals v v Drop/Add – –Early in semester (Sept 12, 2014 to drop, Sept 16, 2014 to add) – –No grade v v Class Withdrawal – –Last day to withdraw is Nov 7, 2014 – –Receive “W” grade v v University Withdrawal – –Last day is Nov 26, 2014 – –No grades or credit for any classes – –Must be initiated at Dean of Students’ Office

Withdrawals v v The Faculty of the College of Engineering and Applied Science adopted a rule concerning Retaking of Courses – –You must pass a course within three attempts or you will be Removed from the College – –Withdrawals are included in the Three Attempts

Change of … v Major change - go to Dean’s office v Advisor change – go to Department office v Any changes should be done before advising week
