Before Fall 2003
Revised: March 26, 2001
A total of 18 credit hours of courses is required in the humanities and social sciences for the engineering curricula. These courses are in addition to the required 9 credit hours of courses in communications and ethics (ENG W131, COMM R110, TCM 360 and ME 401 or EE 401). Of the18 hours, ECON E201 (3 credit hours) is required. The REMAINING 15 credit hours are to be selected by the student in accordance with the following rules:
1. The student should explore different areas of the humanities and social sciences.
2. Each general education program should have a unifying framework.
3. Courses such as accounting, industrial management, personal finance, ROTC, and personnel administration do not fulfill the purpose of the general education program, regardless of their general value in total engineering education.
4. Courses which teach skills, such as keyboard/computer music courses, photography, drawing, etc. also cannot be used to satisfy these general education requirements.
5. General education electives may be found in such subjects as philosophy, religion, history, literature, fine arts, sociology, psychology, anthropology, economics and modern languages. A list of currently approved courses is attached
6. At least 6 credit hours must be taken in humanities and 3 in social sciences.
7. A minimum of 6 credit hours must be selected in the same department. If an approved economics course is chosen for a social science elective, this requirement will be automatically satisfied.
8. No more than 6 credit hours may be used at the introductory level. These courses are preceded by an asterisk (*) on the approved list. Note that this means 6 hours not including ECON 201. Also note that non-introductory courses may require prerequisites.
9. Modern language courses, when used as an elective, must include at least 6 credit hours of a single language.
10. Courses in a student's native language may not count as general education elective.
11. Geography courses are not acceptable as general education electives.
12. The Pass/Fail option may not be used for ANY courses on an engineering Plan of Study including general education electives. Also courses completed by correspondence may not be used on an engineering Plan of Study.
13. If credit by examination in a course is used to satisfy part of the general education requirements, an additional 3 credit hours must be satisfactorily completed in the same department (except in the case of foreign languages, where an additional course must be in the same language).
14. The approved list of courses may vary from semester to semester. Courses on the approved list during the semester the student takes the course will be accepted even if they are subsequently removed from the list.
15. Students may petition their academic advisor and department chairperson for approval of courses not listed here.
