SECTION I – INTRODUCTION
General
Prospective and new students in the College of Engineering (COE) have many questions about
the College and the academic programs. The purpose of this document is to provide a guide for
undergraduate students that will help them function and be successful in their pursuit of a BS
degree in engineering.
BS Degree Programs
A good source of information for the College of Engineering is the webpage located at
http://www.astate.edu/engr. The COE offers an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science in
Engineering (BSE) with professional concentrations in civil, electrical, and mechanical
engineering. In fall 2008, a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE), a Bachelor of Science
in Electrical Engineering (BSEE), and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME)
were added, and these programs are being reviewed in 2012 for ABET accreditation.
The civil engineering program offers courses in all traditional civil engineering areas. Specific
emphasis areas include environmental, transportation, water resources, structures, and
geotechnical engineering. The faculty and students are involved in research and consulting on
civil engineering problems in the region. These experiences are discussed in the classroom so
that students learn the engineering theory as well as the practical application of theory to real
world problems. The program has an extremely active student chapter of the American Society
of Civil Engineers with strong faculty and community support.
The mechanical engineering program includes traditional engineering science courses,
exposure to manufacturing processes and automation, and multi-course sequences to provide
proficiency in thermal and mechanical system design. The program provides its students with a
broad and well-rounded educational foundation and stresses the necessity to engage in lifelong
educational efforts to cope with the ever-changing landscape of science and technology. In
addition, students have the opportunity to conduct research and to take courses in other
disciplines such as business, mathematics, agriculture, and biological or physical sciences based
on their individual career goals.
The electrical engineering program offers a diverse undergraduate curriculum in both lecture
and well-equipped laboratory courses, and is heavily committed to the total education and
success of its students. Laboratory courses in electrical engineering areas provide intensive
experience in experiment design, methodology, analysis, interfacing, and communication. The
electrical engineering program offers undergraduate research opportunities in fields such as
semiconductor materials and devices, electromagnetics, electrical power and machinery, and
wireless communications. Student research experience has been invaluable in augmenting
students' total education and preparing them for graduate education and/or career success.

SECTION II – ACADEMIC/ADVISING QUESTIONS
How do I Activate My ASU Student Account?
All new students must activate their ASU student account before they can access BANNER Self
Service to perform tasks such as registering for classes. To activate your account, go to
www2.astate.edu and click “Current Students”. Next, click “Username and Password” located
under “Quick Links” on the right side of the page. Read the Acceptable Use Policy, click “I
Accept”, and click “Submit”. Enter your Student ID number and your PIN (usually your 6-digit
birth date); then makeup a Password that you will remember and enter the Password again to
confirm; and click “Submit”. This action will generate and give you your ASU-J e-mail address,
which serves as your User Name, and will tell you that your account has been activated.
How do I Access BANNER Self Service?
To access BANNER Self Service, go to www2.astate.edu and click “Current Students”. Next, click
“MyCampus”, located under “Quick Links” on the right side of the page. Alternatively, you can
type in.astate.edu to the address bar to access MyCampus. After accessing MyCampus, you will
see a log in box on the right side of the page. Enter your User Name (FirstName.LastName) and
Password. After logging in, you will see an icon labeled “Banner Self Service”. Click this icon,
and you will be redirected to BANNER Self Service. Here, you will see four links. Through these
links, you can view and edit your personal and contact information, view your academic and
financial aid information, print off an unofficial transcript, and register for classes.
Who is My Academic Advisor?
Upon declaring engineering as a major, each student is assigned a faculty advisor in his or her
area (civil, electrical, or mechanical). Generally, advisors are assigned based on the first letter
of the student’s last name. Ask one of the engineering secretaries in LSW 239 or LSW 245 who
your advisor is, or refer to Section III, Engineering Faculty, of this guide. Ask one of the
secretaries to verify that your major and advisor are listed correctly in BANNER student records.
How do I Prepare a Degree Plan?
All courses required for a specific degree in the College of Engineering (COE) are listed in
Section IV, Degree Requirements, of this guide. A current four-year, semester-by-semester,
plan for each of the BS degrees can be obtained from the Engineering Offices, LSW 239 or LSW
245. The semester-by-semester plans show courses in the proper sequence so that co- and
prerequisite courses are completed first.
Your faculty advisor should maintain a file for you which includes a program graduation check
sheet and past advisement records. Example copies of the graduation check sheets are given
here in Appendix A. Also, you can find a copy of the graduation check sheets on the K-drive of
2
the COE server under a file named Advising Forms. Maintaining your own graduation check
sheet is a good idea so that you can keep up with courses completed, grades, your GPA, and
courses remaining for graduation.
How Frequent are Mathematics, Science, and Engineering Courses Offered?
The required mathematics (Calculus and Differential Equations), General Chemistry, and
University Physics classes are offered every fall and spring semester and also during summer
school. The engineering “core” courses (ENGR prefix) are offered every semester and a few are
also offered during summer school. Required courses in the discipline areas (civil, electrical,
and mechanical engineering) are offered once per year, but some courses fulfilling options
might only be offered once every three or four semesters depending on demand. The
semester-by-semester degree plans show the semester in which the courses are offered.
How do I Plan Classes for Next Semester?
Students are required to meet with their academic advisor to plan classes for the next
semester. The ASU-J online registration system automatically prevents engineering majors
from registering for classes each semester by placing an “advising hold” on their student
account. Also, the online registration system prevents a student from registering for an
engineering course or any other course without the proper prerequisites or co-requisites.
However, if you are currently enrolled in a prerequisite course during the advising period, the
system allows you to register for the subsequent course in the following semester.
The University sends an announcement to let students know the days when they can begin
registering for fall, spring, or summer classes. You will need to contact your advisor and setup a
meeting prior to these enrollment periods. For example, during November, you will be allowed
to register for spring classes depending on your classification (priority registration, seniors,
juniors, sophomores, and freshmen). Those with priority designation (honors, athletes, etc.)
are allowed to register first followed by seniors and so forth.
You are required to bring a current, unofficial copy of your transcript when you meet with your
advisor. To print an unofficial transcript, you will need to access BANNER Self Service. After
accessing the BANNER Self Service page, click “Student”, then “Student Records” on the next
page. You can view and print off an unofficial transcript by clicking Academic Transcript on this
page.
If you are enrolled in classes at the time of advisement, the unofficial copy of your transcript
must show the courses for which you are enrolled. Using your unofficial transcript and
graduation check sheet, you and your advisor will select courses for the next semester, and the
advisor will complete a form called the College of Engineering Registration Advising Form (see
Appendix B). The form must be signed by you and your advisor, and you should receive a copy
after being advised. Your advisor then forwards the form to one of the secretaries, and your
“advising hold” will be removed which will allow you to register using the online registration
3
system. The advising form is returned to your faculty advisor, and the form becomes a
permanent record in your student file. If you make changes to the agreed-upon schedule, you
must let your advisor know so that the change can be documented on the advising form.
How can I Find the Co- and Prerequisites for Courses?
It is your responsibility to check the current co- and prerequisite requirements for courses. A
list of prerequisite and co-requisite course requirements is kept for reference by faculty
advisors, and the lists are maintained and updated by the College Curriculum Committee. A
listing of the current degree program courses along with their co-requisites and/or
prerequisites is given in Appendix C.
In rare instances, for example, the course will not be offered again before your scheduled
graduation date, you might be allowed to enroll in a course without having completed the listed
prerequisite. This will require that a Course Override Approval Form (Appendix B) be
completed. You and your advisor must provide a written justification on the form. The form
must be signed by your advisor, the course instructor, the program director, and the dean to
indicate approval of the override. If approved, you will be given a permit by one of the
secretaries which will allow you to enroll in the course, and the form is then placed as a
permanent record in your student file.
It is the policy of the College of Engineering to allow transfer students having difficulty making a
full class schedule to override the requirement of ENGR 1402, Concepts of Engineering, and/or
ENGR 1412, Software Applications for Engineers, as “prerequisites” for other engineering
courses. In these situations, ENGR 1402 and/or ENGR 1412 will be considered “co-requisites”,
and the student must register for ENGR 1402 and/or ENGR 1412 and the engineering course
(for example ENGR 2403) during the same semester. Advisors are required to complete the
override form and attach a copy of this policy to the form.
How do I Register for Classes?
The first step to register for classes is to make an appointment with your academic advisor.
Refer to the question above on “How do I plan classes for next semester?” You should also
check to see if you have any holds on your account. You can view your holds through BANNER
Self Service on the ASU website. In order to register, you must not owe money to ASU,
including parking tickets and other various fees you may have accumulated throughout the
semester.
To register for classes, go to BANNER Self Service, click “Student”, then “Registration”, then
“Look Up Classes”. Next, select the term you are interested in registering for and submit your
selection. This page has several search functions to allow you to find the classes you are trying
to register for. By using this tool, you can look up classes using the class’s course number, title,
start and end time, and many other functions. The easiest functions to use are the course
number and title. By knowing the course number or title of a class you are interested in, you
4
can see all sections of the class that are being offered for the semester you are interested in.
After finding the class you want to take, you can check the box under the “Select” column
heading and click register at the bottom of the page to register for the class.
How do I Drop a Class?
Dropping a course is really a schedule change....you are dropping one or more of your courses,
but you are still enrolled in at least one course. The procedure for dropping a class varies
depending on when you decide to do it. During the first week of classes, you can drop any class
that you are enrolled in directly through Banner Self-Service on MyCampus. First enter Banner
Self-Service, click “Student”, then “Registration”, then “Add or Drop Classes.” The term you
plan to modify then has to be selected. Once you can view your schedule, you can select to
drop a course from a drop-down box in the action column, click “Submit Changes” at the
bottom of the page to drop the course. If a class is dropped during this period, you will not be
charged for it. After the first week, you can still drop through Banner Self-Service, however,
you should contact the registrar to ensure that you are withdrawn from the class. If a class is
dropped during the second week of classes, you will be refunded 75% of the cost of the class.
After the second week, you will receive no refund if a class is dropped.
The last day to drop a class without receiving a grade is generally about two weeks before the
last day of scheduled classes. You cannot drop a class after this date, and you will be assigned a
final grade by the course instructor.
How do I Withdraw from All Classes?
Withdrawing is when you drop ALL of your courses which involves withdrawing from ASU for
the semester. Students may withdraw from the University using Banner Self-Service at any
time during the scheduled registration periods. Students have until the Sunday after the first
week of classes in a regular semester (or until Friday of the first week of classes in a five-week
summer term). After this time period has passed, students must obtain a withdrawal form
from the Advisement Services Office located in the Wilson Advisement Center.
Students receiving Financial Aid must obtain an approval signature from the Financial Aid
Office. The withdrawal process is complete when the form is accepted and signed by
Advisement Services in the Wilson Center for Academic Advisement. This process must be
completed two weeks prior to the beginning of the final examination period during Fall and
Spring semesters. Academic Affairs will identify appropriate deadlines for other semesters.
Grades earned in courses completed prior to official withdrawal from the university (i.e., short
courses) will not be affected by withdrawal. Classes that have been withdrawn will remain on
the student's transcript with a "W" grade for withdrawal. Once the withdrawal process is
complete, the classes withdrawn will not affect the student's GPA.
5
Students who cease to attend classes without processing an official withdrawal form or who do
not complete the withdrawal process will automatically receive an "F" in all courses in which
they were enrolled.
Are “D” Grades Accepted to Meet Degree Requirements?
Grades of “D” are acceptable for some required General Education courses and some
mathematics, science, and engineering courses that are not prerequisite courses. A grade of
“C” or better is required for ENG 1003, Composition I, before enrolling in ENG 1013,
Composition II. Students must complete ENG 1013 with a grade of “C” or better.
The ASU Department of Mathematics and Statistics requires a grade of “C” or better in
prerequisite mathematics courses for Calculus II, Calculus III, and Differential Equations. The
College of Engineering requires that ALL prerequisite engineering, mathematics, and science
courses be completed with a grade of “C” or better BEFORE attempting the subsequent
engineering courses. Thus, a grade of “D” would not be accepted for these prerequisite
courses.
Although grades of “D” are accepted for some upper-level engineering courses, all engineering
degrees require that the following conditions be met:
1. “C” or better in EACH course in the Engineering Core.
2. “C” or better in EACH course in the 49-hour major requirements; or 2.5 or
greater grade point average in the 49-hour major requirements.
If I Changed My Major to Engineering, Will My Courses be Acceptable for Degree Credit?
Courses listed by prefix, number, and title on your ASU-J transcript that are also listed as degree
requirements for engineering would be accepted for degree credit if your course grades meet
the minimum grade requirements described above. If you have a grade of “D” in a prerequisite
course, you will be required to repeat the course. It is possible that some of the General
Education courses that you have completed for other majors would not be acceptable for the
General Education courses for engineering majors.
How Can I Get My Transfer Courses Evaluated for Credit at ASU-J?
Courses completed by students prior to transferring to ASU-J, as well as transfer courses
completed after initial enrollment at ASU-J, are evaluated by the Registrar’s Office. You will
need to request that your prior institution submit an official transcript to the ASU-J Registrar’s
Office. The registrar is responsible for determining what courses will be accepted for transfer
and the semester credit hours to be awarded. If questions of equivalency exist, transfer credit
and course equivalency must be approved by the appropriate department where the course is
offered on the ASU-J campus.
6
International transfer students must first have their coursework evaluated for US equivalency
by an approved evaluator such as Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc. of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. The student must then have the official evaluation sent to the ASU-J Registrar’s
Office for review. The courses from most regional universities and community colleges have
been previously evaluated by ASU-J departments, and the Registrar’s Office keeps a record of
equivalencies for future use as new students transfer from these institutions. Your transfer
courses and credit hours accepted by the University will be documented by a Transfer
Equivalency Worksheet prepared by the Registrar’s Office.
What Transfer Courses are Acceptable for Engineering Degrees at ASU-J?
Although your courses may be accepted for transfer credit by the ASU-J Registrar’s Office and
entered on your permanent academic record, some transfer courses may not be acceptable as
credit toward an engineering degree. Transfer of English Composition courses are not generally
accepted from international institutions. This policy is normally waived for citizens of the
British Isles, Australia, the English speaking portions of Canada and New Zealand.
Generally, if the ASU-J registrar has accepted your transfer courses (indicating equivalency)
required for the engineering degree and offered outside the College of Engineering (for
example Calculus I), then the course will be accepted for engineering degree credit. It is the
responsibility of your faculty advisor to contact other ASU-J departments if they have a
question of equivalency for a transfer course.
When evaluating your transfer courses, your faculty advisor will provide documentation in your
file concerning the courses and credit hours accepted for degree credit. The evaluation is
initially based on documents provided by the ASU-J Registrar’s Office such as the Transfer
Equivalency Worksheet showing credit and non-credit courses.
Courses in the area of engineering science and engineering design must be equivalent before
substitution can be made in your degree plan or be suitable as an elective. This determination
is made by your faculty advisor and program director after reviewing the course description
from the catalog of the institution from which the course is being transferred. Your faculty
advisor may also interview you about the course content, request other materials, and/or
require you to take a qualifying examination over the materials.
It is the responsibility of each program director and the dean of the College of Engineering to
evaluate and give final approval of transfer credit for engineering courses. A grade of “D” in a
transferred engineering course is not acceptable for degree credit. Equivalent engineering
courses taken from other ABET accredited programs with grades of “C” or better are acceptable
for degree credit. Normally, engineering courses taken at non-ABET accredited engineering
programs are not accepted for degree credit except for lower-level courses (1000 and 2000
level) shown to be essentially equivalent and with a grade of “C” or better.
7
What is the Minimum Number of Hours at ASU-J Required for Transfer Students?
Transfer students pursuing an engineering degree are required to complete a minimum of 32
semester credit hours of engineering courses at ASU-J.
Can Current Students Take Courses at Another Institution and Transfer Credit to ASU-J?
A student in good standing at ASU-J desiring to take courses at another institution with the
intent of transferring those courses into their requirements for graduation at ASU-J must secure
the signature of their advisor, program director, and the dean on an agreement form that is
available in the COE dean’s office or provide e-mail documentation of the approvals. In general,
this is only allowed for non-engineering courses. If you take courses at another institution
without prior approval, the College of Engineering is not obligated to accept the courses for
degree credit.

SECTION V – STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
American Society of Civil Engineers
The student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) at ASU-J is one of the
most active student organizations on campus. ASCE is proud of their involvement in the
community through service projects such as bell ringing and handing out Christmas presents in
conjunction with the Salvation Army. Every year, ASCE competes against several other schools
in the concrete canoe, steel bridge, surveying, environmental, and several other competitions
that change nearly every year. In addition to the community service and competitions, there
are several other events that go on throughout the year. Speakers regularly attend ASCE
general body meetings to talk about local and state business and job opportunities, as well as
how to understand important issues engineers face, such as ethics in engineering. Students are
required to pay yearly dues of $10 for sophomores and $20 for juniors and seniors to be in the
student chapter of ASCE. The officers for the 2012-2013 school year are as follows: President –
Matthew Rowe, Vice President – Jarrett Cooper, Secretary – Matthew Wallace, Treasurer –
Alicia Kiech, and Historian – Eric Romero.
To learn more about ASCE at ASU-J, contact Dr. Thomas Parsons at tparsons@astate.edu or the
officers at asuasce@gmail.com.
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a worldwide engineering society
focused on technical, educational, and research issues. It conducts one of the world's largest
technical publishing operations, and sets many industrial and manufacturing standards. Being a
member of ASME is considered a sign of career professional.
15
The ASME Chapter at ASU-J is active in COE tailgate parties and cookouts. We used to
participate in the annual Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) competition, in which a bicycle or
tricycle is designed and fabricated to compete against other schools across the Nation.
However, we are currently in the process of switching to the robotics competitions. In 20122013 we will be competing in our first robotics competition and plan to learn a great deal from
the experience.
To become a member of ASME you must go to www.asme.org, click ‘Join’ in the upper right
corner then fill out the appropriate personal information. First-year student membership is
free, and after that there is a $25 annual fee. With membership, you become eligible for ASME
scholarships, discounts, monthly news letter, and many other benefits. For more information
you may contact us at asme.asuj@gmail.com, or Dr. David Jeong, ASME faculty advisor, at
kjeong@astate.edu. The chapter officers for 2012-13 are
Jonathan Cole (President)
Nathan Smith (Vice President)
Arnold Jackson (Treasurer)
Ryan Listenbee (Secretary)
jonathan.cole@smail.astate.edu

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is one of the largest professional
organizations in the world, with over 300,000 members worldwide and numerous societies,
publications, and conferences that span the diverse panorama of electrical, computer, and
related areas of engineering and science. Membership is open to essentially all engineers and
scientists whose professions overlap the broad areas of electrical, electronic, computer,
electromagnetic, and optoelectronic engineering, science, and technology.
The ASU-J Student Branch of IEEE was chartered in early 1983 with Dr. Robert Engelken as the
Faculty Counselor. Dr. Engelken, Professor of Electrical Engineering, continues in this role and
has coordinated 25 years of IEEE students and activities. However, all of the ASU-J electrical
engineering faculty members and many EE students are active members of IEEE. Officer
positions in the Branch are Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and Public Relations Officer.
In 2012/2013, these positions are held, respectively, by James O’Quinn, David McNew, John
Hall, Carson Munn, and Joshua Johnson. Elections for such are held annually very early during
the fall semester. The officers work closely with the EE faculty in coordinating Branch activities.
For more information, you can contact Dr. Paul Mixon at pmixon@astate.edu or the Branch
officers.
Society of Women Engineers
The student chapter of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is in the development stages
due to the small number of female students in the engineering programs at ASU-J. However,
this group is involved with many community projects in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and they are
currently working on a rain gage research. The SWE also attends the science fair every year at
the public library in Jonesboro.
Branch officers are President Ashley Smith, Vice President Jai Jai Nije, Secretary Renitas
Coleman, and Recruitment Officer Kayleigh Lincomfelt. Along with organizing projects and
getting involved in the community, members also promote female careers in engineering in
local high schools.
Students are required to pay yearly dues of $20 to be national members of SWE. You can join
by going to http://www.swe.org. To learn more about SWE at ASU-J, you can contact the
faculty advisor, Mrs. Jody Walker, at leahwalker@astate.edu.

College of Engineering Ambassadors
The College of Engineering Ambassadors is a group of engineering students selected to
promote the College of Engineering (COE) and the engineering profession. These students
serve the COE in a variety of ways. Activities include serving as a voice for all engineering
students to the College’s administration, updating the Academic Guide for Engineering
Students, promoting engineering and recruiting at high schools, assisting with new-student
orientation and on-campus recruiting functions, serving as COE representatives at various
university-sponsored events such as industry mixers and tailgate parties, and hosting the
annual COE Awards Program.
Students are selected in the spring semester each year by the faculty from each major area in
the COE to fill a total of six Ambassador positions. In some instances, students are asked to
serve a second year as an Ambassador. The COE Ambassadors program is recognized as a
prestigious collegiate organization. Involvement in this program provides students with
opportunities to improve public speaking and leadership skills, and to grow professionally.
Consequently, this experience is a valuable addition to their resume.
If you have questions or have an issue that needs attention, please contact your Ambassadors
or the faculty advisor, Dr. Rick Clifft, at rclifft@astate.edu. The 2012-2013 Ambassadors are:
