Engineering (emphasis on Civil Engineering) Course

Credit Hours: 132
Overview

Civil engineering is the application of mathematics, science, and engineering fundamentals for the benefit of society and the supporting infrastructure systems. Traditional civil engineering areas include:

environmental engineering
(pollution control including the design of water and waste water facilities);
water resources
(study of the flow of water over land, under ground and storage);
transportation engineering
(design of highways and studies of traffic flow);
structural engineering
(design of building, bridges and other related structures);
• geotechnical engineering
(study of soil behaviors, land slides and other topics).

The Civil Engineering Program offers a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) with specializations in the environmental, water resources, structural, and geotechnical areas. Other traditional areas such as materials and transportation are cover in the curriculum as well as a strong general education component. The faculty is involved in research, solving engineering problems in the community, and consulting work. These experiences are brought into the classroom so that the students can receive a well-rounded educational experience. This includes learning the engineering theory as well as the practical application of the theory to real-world problems.
The Civil Engineering Program was established in August 2008, and thus, the BSCE degree program is not yet accredited by ABET. In the interim period, students may obtain both the ABET-accredited BSE degree and the BSCE degree with little or no additional course requirements.

Engineering (emphasis on Electrical Engineering) Course

Credit Hours: 132
Overview

Electrical engineering is a broad field that cuts-across many other fields that utilize electrical energy: electrical/electronic devices, processes, and systems; computer systems; electromagnetic communications; and electrical control. Thus, there are numerous well-established subfields under electrical engineering, with new ones, including increasingly multidisciplinary areas of focus (for example, nano-electronics, alternative energy, and bio-electrical engineering) being added periodically. Since electrical, electronic, computer, and electromagnetic/optoelectronic energy, communications, components, systems, and processes undergird nearly every facet of modern society’s infrastructure, the demand for electrical, electronic, computer, and related types of engineers is significant and increasing, and electrical engineering is a marketable, lucrative, geographically widespread, and fulfilling career.
An electrical engineering education and career build upon a strong foundation in mathematics, science, and engineering fundamentals, as well as, increasingly, strong laboratory/field, instrumentation, computer, problem solving, design, human relations, teamwork/leadership, economics, and communication knowledge and skills. Historically “non-technical” issues, such as global trade, ethics, litigation, aesthetics, and the environment, are also becoming increasingly important in an electrical engineering career. The Electrical Engineering Program has designed a curriculum to provide its students competence in and sensitivity to these areas. This is reflected in both the electrical engineering professional concentration area under the Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) degree program, and in the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) degree program. Student knowledge, capabilities, and professionalism are also enhanced through involvement in the ASU Student Branch of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, student research and industrial internship opportunities, seminars, and a variety of other service, social, and professional activities.
ASU electrical engineering graduates can be found in nearly every type of engineering position and have excelled in their careers. Numerous ones have gone-on to acquire advanced degrees (master- and doctoral-level) at other institutions. Thus, the Electrical Engineering Program does an excellent job in educating its students for the challenges and opportunities associated not only with a successful engineering career, but also with being good scholars, citizens, and contributors to society.
As does the entire College of Engineering, the Electrical Engineering Program has a mechanism in place to periodically assess its effectiveness in meeting its educational objectives and student learning outcomes. This assessment process results in periodic modification to courses and the degree plan so as to better promote the achievement of the objectives and outcomes, themselves periodically formulated and revised, with the assistance of the Electrical Engineering Advisory Council, in relation to the evolving mission and resource base of the Program. This occurs within the context of the evolving needs of the region and nation, and the current state-of-the profession.
The Electrical Engineering Program was established in August 2008, and thus, the BSEE degree program is not yet accredited by ABET. In the interim period, students may obtain both the ABET-accredited BSE degree and the BSEE degree with little or no additional course requirements.

Engineering (emphasis on Mechanical Engineering) Course

Credit Hours: 132
Overview

The practice of Mechanical Engineering requires the ability to apply the principles of engineering, basic sciences, and mathematics (including multivariate calculus and differential equations) to model, analyze, design, and realize physical systems, components or processes. Mechanical Engineers must be able to work professionally in both thermal and mechanical systems areas as required in fields such as aerospace and automotive design, biomedical and biomechanical processes, engineering materials research, HVAC design, machinery design, manufacturing processes, power generation, and robotics.
The mission of the Mechanical Engineering Program is to provide quality educational opportunities, promote scholastic achievement, and to encourage creative as well as quantitative analytical methods for problem solving. This is accomplished through:
• effective classroom and laboratory instruction that stress
sound engineering fundamentals;
• multiple thermal and mechanical design experiences in the laboratory,
classroom, and through design competitions; and
• opportunities to participate in research, industrial internships,
and in professional engineering societies through student membership.

The Mechanical Engineering Program offers a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) which provides the educational foundation for graduates to pursue a wide range of career opportunities including service as a practicing engineer and pursuit of professional licensure; graduate study in engineering or other fields; or entrance into a professional school such as medicine or law.
The Mechanical Engineering Program was established in August 2008, and thus, the BSME degree program is not yet accredited by ABET. In the interim period, students may obtain both the ABET-accredited BSE degree and the BSME degree with little or no additional course requirements.
