Registration Requirements

Graduation Requirements

The baccalaureate programs in Engineering are designed to be completed in four years (eight regular semesters). Taking a reduced load or participating in cooperative education will extend this time. On average, Clemson engineering students take about four and one-half years to complete the requirements for graduation.

BIOSYSTEMS ENGINEERING

The principal objective of the biosystems engineering program is to educate and prepare students for a wide range of engineering endeavors involving biological entities. Three main areas are supported: engineering for management of natural resources and the environment; engineering for environmentally-sound and sustainable production systems for food, fiber, and bioresources; and engineering for production of value-added products from bioprocessing technologies.

Biosystems engineers work at the interface between engineering and life sciences and must be knowledgeable in both disciplines. In addition to the common objectives of all engineering programs listed above, Biosystems Engineering students should achieve familiarity with all biosystems concentrations, experience an interdisciplinary education, and develop a career goal of professional recognition and licensure. Students develop specialization in one of three concentrations. Specific objectives per concentration aim to equip students to

· apply engineering and agricultural sciences to the production of food, feed, fiber, and related consumer products (Agricultural Engineering Concentration).

· apply engineering and biological sciences to problem solving for biological systems and production of value added bioproducts in a wide range of industries (Applied Biotechnology Concentration).

· apply engineering and agricultural and environmental sciences to assess and control the impact of human activities on the biosphere (Natural Resources and Environment Concentration).

Graduates will demonstrate the ability to apply the principles and techniques of industrial engineering analysis and design supported by a foundation in mathematical, physical and social sciences, and economic, operational, and engineering analyses. Graduates will possess a breadth of knowledge that allows them to practice industrial engineering with an appropriate awareness of information issues in systems improvement. In addition, graduates are able to work and communicate effectively with colleagues at every level in the organization.

The traditional arenas for the practice of industrial engineering are the manufacturing facilities of industry; however, many practicing industrial engineers are employed in non-manufacturing institutions such as hospitals, banks, and government agencies. In addition to numerous employment opportunities in professional practice, industrial engineering graduates may further their formal education. The Department of Industrial Engineering offers programs leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.

The Department if Industrial Engineering allows students to count up to 12 hours of graduate credit (approved 600- and 800-level courses) toward both the bachelor's and master's degrees. Students participating in this program must have a minimum grade-point ratio of 3.4 and be admitted to the Graduate School prior to registering for graduate courses. Details of the suggested curriculum and program information are available from the Industrial Engineering Department.

Detailed curriculum and department information is available on the Web.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Breadth, individuality, and flexibility are inherent characteristics of the mechanical engineering profession. Mechanical engineers, in a broad sense, make major contributions to the creation of products and systems that benefit mankind. They work in a variety of areas including bioengineering, energy systems, environmental and life-support systems, propulsion and transportation systems, food production, materials processing, automated manufacturing, and construction. A wide spectrum of career opportunities is open to them. The practice of mechanical engineering includes one or more of the following activities: manufacturing, testing, research, development, design, technical management, technical sales and marketing, construction, and teaching.

Preparation for a 40?45 year professional career requires development of the whole person through a balanced program encompassing the humanities, social sciences, communication and computer skills, physical and engineering sciences, design, and laboratory experience. Students start with the physical sciences and communication skills and progress through the engineering sciences, ultimately applying the principles learned in such areas as energy conversion and transfer, mechanical design, and systems analysis. Throughout the curriculum, the fundamental nature of engineering as a problem-solving discipline is emphasized.

Most graduates take positions in industry, government, or business. Many, however, continue their formal education in a graduate program. The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers study leading to the Master of Engineering, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.

Mechanical Engineering students who have cumulative grade-point ratio or cumulative engineering grade-point ratio (EGPR) below 2.0 are on probation and will have restricted enrollment in classes. Students whose cumulative GPR is below 2.0 are subject to the regulations stipulated under Continuing Enrollment Policy under Academic Regulations. Students on probation for EGPR below 2.0 who fail to recover in the first regular semester (fall or spring) will not be allowed to register for mechanical engineering classes. After one year, such students may petition the Mechanical Engineering Department for continued enrollment. An advising policy for students on probation is available from the Mechanical Engineering Department.

SCIENCE PROGRAMS

The science departments in the College work closely with the other academic departments in the University, including such disciplines as economics and management as well as engineering. This allows students in the sciences great flexibility and responsibility in designing their own programs.

Bachelor of Science Curricula

Bachelor of Arts Curricula

Students have a large degree of flexibility and responsibility in selecting the minor area from those listed below. The courses for these minors are to be selected in consultation with the appropriate department.

CHEMISTRY

Chemistry, an experimental discipline based on observation guided by molecular theory, is of fundamental importance in much of modern science and technology. Its molecular concepts form the basis for ideas about complex material behavior. Due to the fundamental nature and extensive application of chemistry, an unusually large variety of challenging opportunities to contribute in the science-oriented community are open to students whose education is built around the principles of this discipline.

The curriculum, through the career requirement options and the large number of electives, provides students the opportunity to select a coherent program of study beyond the basic courses. Career requirement options are provided for students anticipating graduate study in chemistry or related fields; employment following the BS degree in laboratory, production, technical sales, or management positions; professional studies (e.g., medicine); chemical physics; geochemistry; and employment in fields requiring extensive preparation in courses other than sciences (e.g., patent law and technical writing). Significant features of the curriculum are the student's extensive participation in experimental work and the opportunity to take part in a research investigation during the junior and senior years.

GEOLOGY

Geology involves the physics and chemistry of materials which comprise the earth, but equally important, it considers the development of life on earth. Fundamentally, the chemical, physical, and biological responses to environments on and in the earth must be thoroughly understood so that the historical development of the earth can be deduced, predictions of the future inferred, and natural resources intelligently developed. Industry depends on minerals and rocks; metals have their origin in them as do our chief power sources: coal, petroleum, and radioactive minerals.

Employment opportunities for geologists include such far-reaching fields as mineral-producing industries, railroads, municipalities, engineering firms, and water authorities. It is important, therefore, that a geology education rest on a broad yet rigorous base.

Students pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology have three concentrations from which to choose. The "traditional" curriculum provides the
fundamentals of geology and excellent support in the other basic sciences. Graduates are prepared for employment or for graduate study in any field of geology. The Environmental Geology concentration prepares students for careers in the environmental consulting industry or graduate school in environmental fields. Students in this concentration take 15 credits of Environmental Science Requirement, including at least nine credits from one of three subdisciplines: geology/soil science, biology/ecology, or chemistry/physics. The Engineering Geology concentration may be taken by students interested in applying engineering principles to geologic problems. Engineering geologists are increasingly called upon to perform geologic site evaluations for construction projects and to minimize the threat of geologic hazards. The curriculum involves courses in engineering and soil mechanics plus 15 credits of Engineering Geology Requirement selected from courses in civil, environmental, and biosystems engineering, or advanced mathematics.

PHYSICS

Physics, the most fundamental of the natural sciences, forms the basis of study upon which the other branches of science are founded. Physics is concerned with the fundamental behavior of matter and energy. Classical physics encompasses the fields of mechanics, heat and thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, acoustics and optics. Modern physics is concerned with the study of atoms and molecules, atomic nuclei, elementary particles and the properties of liquids, crystalline solids, and other materials, as well as the areas of relativity, cosmology, and the large-scale structure of the universe.

The undergraduate Physics curricula are designed to provide students with a strong background in the classical areas of physics as well as an introduction into the more important aspects of modern physics. The BS in Physics curriculum is directed toward preparing students for graduate study ultimately leading to the PhD degree or toward research and development work in industrial or governmental laboratories. It also provides a good background for graduate study or industrial work in many areas or engineering physics and applied science.

Polymer and Textile Chemistry and Textile Management

Textile students study the production, structure, and properties of natural and man-made fibers, the processes for converting these fibers into textile structures, the science of coloring agents and finishes to improve the desirability and serviceability of the product, and the methods for evaluating the performance of textile materials.

Graduates of the degree programs in Polymer and Textile Chemistry and Textile Management hold jobs in corporate and personnel management, manufacturing management, design, research, development, technical service, quality control, and sales. They create new products and processes and solve problems. They create styles, patterns, textures, and colors for apparel, home, industry, and special applications. Their jobs utilize computers, automation, and product quality and are concerned with plant design, environmental control, and consumer safety.

The Bachelor of Science in Polymer and Textile Chemistry is based on chemistry, physics, and mathematics. With this firm base, graduates are able to apply their scientific knowledge to the solution of problems in textile and polymer materials involving both chemical and physical principles. Graduates will be concerned with the conception, design, construction, and management of complete systems of labor, machinery, and processes for the most efficient production of textiles or related chemicals. There are two primary emphasis areas in Polymer and Textile Chemistry. Both allow students to prepare for graduate study in Textiles, Fiber, and Polymer Science as well as other disciplines.
