ENGINEERING PROGRAMS

The professional Bachelor of Science engineering degrees in Biosystems Engineering, Ceramic and Materials Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering are each accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. The Biosystems Engineering program is administered jointly with the College of Agriculture, Forestry, and Life Sciences.

All engineering programs have the common goal of producing engineering graduates who are able to

apply knowledge of math, science, and engineering
formulate and solve engineering problems
design and conduct experiments and analyze data
design systems or components to meet needs
function on multidisciplinary teams
communicate effectively
conduct themselves professionally and ethically
appreciate engineering's global/societal context
understand contemporary engineering issues
apply modern engineering methods and tools
appreciate the need for life-long learning.

Each engineering program has additional objectives specific to the discipline. All prepare students for a wide range of career opportunities and provide sound preparation for graduate study. Each curriculum provides opportunities for students to pursue individual areas of interest.

Admission Requirements

The University admission requirements are given under the section entitled Admission. Engineering applicants are strongly advised to include the following in their high school program:

Mathematics--Four units, including geometry, trigonometry, and introductory calculus.

Laboratory Science--At least three units, including both chemistry and physics.

Computing--At least one unit, including introduction to a programming language. Applicants should have good keyboarding skills.

General Engineering Program

The General Engineering Program provides students with an opportunity to explore various engineering fields while gaining a sound academic preparation for engineering study. All engineering students must complete a common curriculum for the freshman year before being admitted into an engineering baccalaureate degree program. All new engineering students (including transfer students) are admitted into General Engineering until all classes in the freshman curriculum are satisfactorily completed. Students with no programming experience who plan to enter Computer Engineering should consult an advisor about taking CP SC 111 or 101 as an elective in the first semester. Additional information about General Engineering can be found on the Web.

Admission into Engineering Degree Programs

To transfer into an engineering degree program, a student must have a 2.0 minimum cumulative grade-point ratio in courses taken at Clemson and have completed the General Engineering freshman curriculum. Students entering General Engineering after May 15, 1996, must also have a C or better in each course in the freshman curriculum except the humanities/social science requirement.

Students should initiate a change-of-major request prior to the registration period during the semester in which 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, the only engineering courses in which they can enroll are C M E 210, E G 209, E M 201 and 202, and ENGR 101 and 120. 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 these responsibilities and make them aware of the constraints imposed by societal factors. Thus, an important component of the engineering curricula is a program of study of the humanities and social sciences in which students are required to achieve depth of knowledge in one or two areas rather than simply taking a collection of introductory courses.

This program of study must include a minimum of 15 credits selected so as to satisfy the University's General Education policy on humanities and social sciences as well as meeting engineering objectives. Thus, the courses chosen must satisfy all of the following criteria:

1. Six credits of General Education humanities courses, which must include

a) Three credits of sophomore literature (200 level) or foreign language literature (300 level or higher) selected from General Education Section E.1^*.
b) Three credits selected from courses in General Education Section E.2^*.

2. Six credits of social science courses selected from General Education Section F^*.

3. At least three additional credits selected from the List of Approved Humanities and Social Science Courses for Engineering Curricula. (This list includes General Education courses, plus additional choices.)

4. To provide depth, the courses chosen must contain either

a) Nine credits in a single subject area or
b) Six credits in each of two different subjects.

Individual engineering curricula may have more specific requirements (e.g., an economics course or a second literature course may be required), or may require more than 15 hours of humanities/social science courses. Students should consult their academic advisors for information.

*All courses must be selected from the List of Approved Humanities and Social Science Courses for Engineering Curricula. Specifically, some courses approved in the General Education policy may not be accepted by the College of Engineering and Science because of Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) restrictions.

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, 208.

Registration Requirements

A cumulative grade-point average 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 120, 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. 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 biopro-cessing 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, 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).

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 also demonstrate the ability to apply the principles and techniques of engineering design supported by a foundation in the mathematical, physical, and social sciences and economic, operational, and engineering analyses. Graduates possess a breadth of knowledge that allows them to practice in contemporary information-driven production and service systems. 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.

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.

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 ample 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 the minor area from those 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 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

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 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.
