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
Chemistry
Calculus
Biology
Physics

Sophomore year
gives you
applications of
math in the
engineering
sciences. It also
teaches you
problem solving.

Why is the Curriculum
so structured?

EAC/ABET
– Engineering Accreditation Commission of the
Accrediting Board for Engineering and
Technology
– Traditional engineering disciplines

CAC/ABET
– Computer Accreditation Commission of the
Accrediting Board for Engineering and
Technology
– Computer Science

They require specific minimums
1
Minimum Requirements for
Traditional Engineering
Disciplines
year of Math & Science
 1 1/2 years of Engineering Topics Engineering Science & Design
 A general education component
(University Studies Program)
 A major design experience
 Specific requirements for each major
 All engineering & computer science
programs are accredited
Common Pitfalls
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).
 COSC students need a “C” or better
in all COSC courses.

Common Pitfalls
 If
you require PHYS 1210 (Engr
Physics I) in your curriculum, then you
must complete it before or
concurrently with ES 2120 (Dynamics)
 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)
