Admission into Engineering Degree Programs

To transfer into an engineering degree program, a student must have a 2.0 minimum cumulative grade-point ratio on courses taken at Clemson and must have completed the freshman engineering curriculum (including the Major Requirement for the intended major) with a C or better in each course except the Arts and Humanities/Social Science Requirements.

Students should initiate a change-of-major request prior to the registration period during the semester when they expect to complete the freshman curriculum. Students who fail to meet the requirements for admission into a degree program may remain in General Engineering until those requirements are met; however, General Engineering majors are not permitted to take 300- or 400-level engineering courses. Engineering departments may allow General Engineering majors to enroll in selected 200-level engineering courses (policy varies by department). Students transferring into an engineering degree program will follow the curriculum in effect at the time of transfer.

Humanities and Social Sciences for Engineering Curricula

Engineers have an obligation to practice their profession in a socially responsible manner. The education of engineers must prepare them for this responsibility and make them aware of the constraints imposed by societal and cultural factors. Thus, the humanities and social sciences are an important component of the engineering curricula. Further, the program of study must include educational experiences addressing the intersection of science and technology with society and cross-cultural awareness.

Engineering curricula include a minimum of 15 credits of humanities/social science courses selected so as to satisfy the University's General Education Arts and Humanities and Social Science Requirements, as well as specific program objectives. Individual engineering curricula may have more specific requirements or may require more than 15 hours of humanities/social science courses. Students should consult their academic advisors for further information.

Electives for Engineering Curricula

Advisors must approve any course taken for elective credit in the Engineering curricula. Courses excluded for elective credit include PHYS 200, 207/209, 208/210.

Registration Requirements

A cumulative grade-point ratio of 2.0 or higher is required for registration in engineering courses numbered 300 or higher. Priority for registration in engineering courses is given to those majors for whom the course is a degree requirement. Exceptions to this requirement may be granted by the department offering the course.

Graduation Requirements

In addition to other institutional requirements, candidates for a baccalaureate degree in Engineering are required to have a 2.0 or higher cumulative grade-point ratio in all engineering courses taken at Clemson. All courses with "Engineering" in the course designator (e.g., ENGR 130, M E 453, etc.) are used in this calculation.

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

Bachelor of Science

The principal objective of the Biosystems Engineering program is to educate and prepare students for a wide range of engineering endeavors involving biological entities. Two main areas are supported: engineering for management of natural resources and the environment 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 on the first page, Biosystems Engineering students should achieve familiarity with both biosystems concentrations, experience an interdisciplinary education, and develop a career goal of professional recognition and licensure. Students develop specialization in one of two concentrations.

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

The Natural Resources and Environment Concentration equips students to apply engineering, agricultural, and environmental sciences to assess and control the impact of human activities on the biosphere.

Students are urged to complete a minor and participate in the Cooperative Education, Biosystems Engineering Intern, and /or Study Abroad Programs. Those with interests in medical careers should consider graduate study and/or medical school.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

Bachelor of Science

Industrial engineers design, install, and improve the complex systems that provide goods and services vital to our society and economy. These systems place unique demands for breadth of preparation on industrial engineers. Baccalaureate degree graduates demonstrate the ability to design, develop, implement, and improve integrated systems that include people, materials, information, equipment, and energy. 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 of 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

Bachelor of Science

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 a 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. 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 College offers curricula leading to the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Computer Information Systems, Computer Science, Geology, Mathematical Sciences, and Physics. The Bachelor of Arts is offered with a major in Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology, Mathematical Sciences, and Physics.

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

The Bachelor of Science degree prepares graduates for professional employment or graduate study in the chosen science discipline. BS curricula are thus more highly structured than BA curricula, but nonetheless offer opportunity for students to pursue a minor or secondary area of interest.

Bachelor of Arts Curricula

The curricula leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree are designed to meet the needs of students who desire a broad general education. They require a minor (or a second major) as well as the major concentration. A major requires a minimum of 24 credits from courses above the sophomore level including or in addition to courses specified by the major department. In some major disciplines, certain prescribed courses at the sophomore level are counted toward the 24 credit requirement.

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

CHEMISTRY

Bachelor of Science

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

Bachelor of Science

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 Science 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 Hydrogeology 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.

MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES

Bachelor of Science

The Mathematical Sciences curriculum is designed to be versatile. Students gain a broad knowledge of mathematical concepts and methods that are applicable in sciences, engineering, business, industry, and other professions desiring a strong mathematical background. In addition to the basic courses which provide necessary mathematical skills, the curriculum allows students to select an emphasis area or concentration, providing an introduction to a specific area where mathematics is applied. These are Applied and Computational Mathematics, Biology, Computer Science, Operations Research/Management Science, and Statistics.

In addition to the overall goal of preparing students to cope with a variety of mathematical problems, the curriculum seeks to provide an adequate background for students who plan to pursue graduate study or positions in business, industry, or government. Students electing the Biology Concentration will have the necessary preparation for entering medical school.

All mathematical sciences majors are required to complete a capstone experience which provides an opportunity to pursue research, independent study, or an approved internship under the direction of a faculty member or the opportunity to study mathematical models in some area of the mathematical sciences. The capstone experience requires a written report (thesis, computer code, project description, intern experience, etc.) and an oral or poster presentation by each student.

Combined Bachelor's/Master's Plan

Under this plan, students may reduce the time necessary to earn both degrees by applying graduate credits to both undergraduate and graduate program requirements. Students are encouraged to obtain the specific requirements for the dual degree from the Department of Mathematical Sciences as early as possible in their undergraduate program.

Enrollment guidelines and procedures can be found under Academic Regulations.

PHYSICS

Bachelor of Science

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

The School of Materials Science and Engineering offers undergraduate degrees in Ceramic and Materials Engineering, 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 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 BS degree 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. The two primary emphasis areas in Polymer and Textile Chemistry allow students to prepare for graduate study in Textiles, Fiber, and Polymer Science as well as other disciplines.
