Academic Progression Requirements and Dismissal Conditions

Bachelor’s Degree Programs and Advising in the College Of Engineering

Students may be admitted to a major in one of the five College of Engineering departments: Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEGR); Electrical and Computer Engineering (EEGR and CPGR); Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Science (MEGR); Systems Engineering and Engineering Management (SEGR); and Engineering Technology and Construction Management: Civil Engineering Technology (CIET), Construction Management (CMET), Electrical Engineering Technology (ELET), Fire Safety Engineering Technology (FSET), or Mechanical Engineering Technology (MEET). Students may also be admitted as Engineering Undecided (ENGR), or Engineering Technology Undecided (ETGR) majors.

Engineering Undecided (ENGR) and Engineering Technology Undecided (ETGR) are designations for new freshmen who qualify for admission to an engineering or engineering technology major but who have not decided which program they desire. ENGR students must work with their academic advisor to choose and declare a program of study by the completion of their Freshman year. ETGR students are encouraged to choose a major by the time they attend summer orientation and registration because they take discipline-specific courses in the Freshman year.

Students are expected to follow the advice and recommendations of their faculty advisors and are expected to know and follow all prerequisite, corequisite, and progression requirements of their program. Persistent attempts to circumvent that advice and guidance shall be grounds for dismissal by the College of Engineering.

Students must demonstrate that they are making satisfactory progress toward completion of their major degree. They are in violation of this requirement and subject to dismissal by the College of Engineering if they have two consecutive semesters of unsatisfactory progress.

Students in the civil, computer, electrical, and systems engineering programs may take a course in their curriculum a maximum of three times, including withdrawing from the course with a grade of W. Students in the mechanical engineering program may take a course in their curriculum a maximum of two times, including withdrawing from the course with a grade of W. Failure to achieve a satisfactory grade in a course to progress in the program within the three allowed attempts will result in suspension from the declared engineering program.
