School of Engineering Advising Guidance

Updated for Academic Year 2012

I. GRADE POINT AVERAGE (minimum requirements) to earn BS degree:

(1) > 2.00 gpa overall on all college work attempted at all institutions

(2) > 2.00 gpa cumulative in residence (at UM)

(3) > 2.00 gpa in fulfillment of degree requirements

(4) > 2.00 gpa in engineering (ENGR) + major coursework

(5) > 2.00 gpa in major coursework specifically

NOTE: Departments may impose more stringent requirements.

II. GRADE POINT AVERAGE (Latin Honors):

Overall GPA on coursework completed at the time of degree completion is used for determination of Latin Honors:

CUM LAUDE

>3.50 and <3.75 gpa

III. MINOR:

MAGNA CUM LAUDE

>3.75 and < 3.90 gpa

SUMMA CUM LAUDE

>3.90 gpa

The School of Engineering does not require, but recognizes a minor course of study in a department different from the major. Unless otherwise specified, a minor consists of 18 hours.

2.00 minimum GPA is required in all work applied toward the minor. A cross-listed course may not be counted toward both major and minor requirements. See undergraduate catalog for specific course requirements to achieve a minor in various departments.

IV. AP / CLEP / HIGH SCHOOL DUAL ENROLLMENT / IB CREDIT:

The School of Engineering recognizes credit earned by these methods in accordance with The

University of Mississippi undergraduate catalog.

V. HONORS COLLEGE:

Honors 101 and 102 can be used to satisfy the six-hour English composition (WRIT) requirement.

Alternatively, a student may apply the credits toward humanities or social science hours, especially if the student has AP English or other college composition credit. For the School of

Engineering, HON 101-102 can satisfy 3 hours of humanities and 3 hours of social science.

VI. FORGIVENESS POLICY:

Registrar’s Policy on Grade Forgiveness.

The Forgiveness request form to be signed and delivered to the Registrar’s Office can be found at this link: http://www.olemiss.edu/depts/registrar/forms/FORGIVENESS.pdf

VII. FRESHMEN COURSE-SPECIFIC GUIDANCE:

CHEMISTRY

All students planning to enroll in Chemistry 105 (General Chemistry I) must meet the course prerequisite, which is a minimum ACT mathematics score of 23 (SAT 590). Students that do not meet this requirement can satisfy the prerequisite by completing any of the following: earn a minimum “C” grade in Chemistry 101, earn a minimum “B” grade in Math 125 or higher level

Math, or earn a minimum “B” grade in both Math 121 and Math 123.

Students that do not meet this initial minimum ACT math score of 23 should consider applying for acceptance into the Engineering SUCCESS program.

MATH

Individual skill and placement in mathematics are focal points for future success in engineering and computer science studies. Each student should register for the highest level math courses they feel comfortable in based on individual achievement in high school. The following are suggested guidelines for students when considering enrollment in math courses:

 26 ACT math score or greater (SAT 650 +) Those students with four years of high school math (or have completed the math series through Algebra II) who scored 26 or more on the

ACT math section (SAT 650) should register for MATH 261, unless special circumstances warrant enrollment in MATH 125 (Math for Science & Engineering) as determined by the advisor.

 25 – 20 ACT math score (SAT 620 – 530) Students should consider MATH 125

(Mathematics for Science & Engineering), unless the advisor suggests MATH 261 (Calculus),

MATH 123 (Trigonometry), or MATH 121 (College Algebra). This will depend upon a student’s high school level of success and preparation in mathematics, and discussion with the departmental advisor.

 19 – 17 ACT math Score (SAT 500 – 470) Students are encouraged to register for MATH

121 (College Algebra), unless DS 099 (Intermediate Algebra) is required or recommended.

 16 ACT math score or less (SAT 440) Students must enroll in DS 099 (Intermediate

Algebra). Questions on the University developmental series of courses (DS 097 Intermediate

Reading, DS 098 Intermediate English, DS 099 Intermediate Algebra, and DS 095 & 096

Laboratories) should be directed to the School of Engineering Dean’s office, 215 Brevard

Hall.

 Students beginning with DS 099, and MATH 121 through MATH 125 may have their degree program extended beyond the traditional four year curriculum, unless augmented by summer courses.

The Mathematics department has reserved one section of Math 125 (Mathematics for Science and

Engineering). Section 3 is the designated class for engineering students only. For further information regarding enrollment in this class, please visit the School of Engineering Dean’s office, 215 Brevard Hall.

ENGINEERING 100

Introduction to Engineering (ENGR 100) is a 3-credit hour course designed to provide new engineering students with a solid understanding of the engineering skills needed to achieve success in the profession. Students that are undecided in terms of a specific engineering major and would like to remain in the Bachelor of Engineering (general) degree program can enroll in

ENGR 100.

 ENGR 100 may be taken as a substitution for ChE 103 & ChE 104, El E 100, CE101 & 102, and as a CS elective, but not for GEOL 103.

ENGLISH COMPOSITION

Beginning in the fall semester 2011 the University will change the course code for the introductory English composition courses on campus. The beginning composition course, formerly known as ENGL 101, will now be known by the course code WRIT 101. In addition the

Center for Writing and Rhetoric has reserved fourteen sections of these courses for engineering students only. All engineering students that have not earned prior course credit for this class will be required to enroll in one of these fourteen sections of WRIT 101.

If students are enrolled in a section of WRIT 101 that is not one of the reserved engineering sections, the School of Engineering will remove the student from the incorrect section and place them in an appropriate section. In cases where a change is required, the student will be notified of the specific adjustments through their University email account. Please see the following listing of the WRIT 101 sections reserved for engineering students:

Fall 2011 WRIT 101 (Engineering Only) Sections:

5, 9, 31, 33, 52, 60, 65, 69, 73, 76, 97, 98, 100, 103

SUCCESS PROGRAM

The Engineering SUCCESS program is designed to assist students that might be underprepared in the areas of math and science. In particular, this program has been created to target those students that do not meet the initial ACT math score requirements (23) for the Chemistry 105 course. The goal of the program is to enable these students to develop a more solid foundation in their math and science skills, instill productive study habits, and foster positive relationships among peers and faculty mentors. Another advantage of involvement in the SUCCESS program is that each of

these students will have access to the ESB Tutoring program free of charge . SUCCESS students will be required to meet a minimum number of hours in this study hall per week, but they will also have wide ranging access to tutoring support throughout the school week. In order to foster a community environment in the SUCCESS program, these students will also be participating in the engineering cohort program. This program seeks to enroll students in several of the same courses for their academic schedule. For example, SUCCESS students will be required to take

ENGR 100 (Introduction to Engineering) and EDHE 105 (Freshman Year Experience). Also depending on each individual student’s situation, they would be advised to take WRIT 101 and an appropriate math course (DS 099, MATH 121, MATH 125, etc.).
