Engineering is one of the most rewarding of the major professions. Engineers have been primarily responsible for the present high standard of living and for the security of the nation in times of peace and war. Engineering graduates must have a background of sound mathematics, scientific and economic principles and must be acquainted with industrial practices in their chosen field before they can assume responsibility in the profession. Many engineering graduates become managers and leaders in the public and private sectors because of the problem-solving skills that were developed as part of an engineering education.

The College of Engineering adds personal, social and economic value to the region, the state, the nation, and to the world through engineering education and cutting-edge research in emerging technologies. Value is added through four separate but highly integrated activities:

• Undergraduate Education
• Graduate Education and Research

Instructional, Computer, and Laboratory Facilities

Undergraduate instruction in engineering takes place in Bell Engineering Center, Engineering Hall, J.B. Hunt Center for Academic Excellence, and the Mechanical Engineering building. These facilities contain state-of-the-art classrooms and instructional equipment. Undergraduate laboratories are located both on the main campus as well as at the Engineering Research Center. Laboratories offer students hands-on experience relating to the subject matter addressed in the classroom.

The College of Engineering utilizes a wide variety of computing equipment to assist in engineering education. Students have easy access to computers through general computer laboratories or computer facilities located in specialized laboratories within the college. The computers are networked so that all the computing power of the university, including the mainframe computers, can be accessed from the PCs or workstations provided for engineering students. Owning a personal computer is not required; however, it is beneficial.

Laboratory Fee

In order to maintain the college’s state-of-the-art instructional and computer laboratories, each student enrolled in an engineering course is assessed a laboratory fee for that term. This fee is used only to purchase and maintain equipment and staff the engineering laboratories to assist students.

Library

The books and references used by engineering students and faculty are housed principally in the University of Arkansas Mullins Library. This collection is the most useful and comprehensive engineering library in the state. Many publications pertinent to the engineering profession are being added continuously. Mullins Library is the depository for water resources papers, geological survey materials, and NASA publications, as well as other governmental and industrial series.

Engineering Research Center

The 178,000-square-foot Engineering Research Center is located approximately two miles south of the main campus. The center provides the facilities and support services for a wide variety of research activities. It houses the Engineering Experiment Station through which the research of individual departments in the college is administered. Centers and laboratories located at the Engineering Research Center include GENESIS, the High Density Electronics Center, the Center for Training Transportation Professionals, and the Chemical Hazards Research Center.

Distance Learning

A Master of Science in Engineering (M.S.E.) degree is available for students who wish to take a broad range of engineering courses. See the Graduate School Catalog for details.

Professional development and continuing education credits can be earned through the College of Engineering’s Center for Distance Learning. These courses provide ongoing training on technical and engineering topics for professional engineers, land surveyors, and others in the technical and engineering professions.

The Master of Science in Operations Management (MSOM) degree program at the University of Arkansas offers students the philosophy, concepts, and techniques needed to manage available resources to achieve maximum efficiency and effectiveness in meeting operational goals. It provides the tools needed for successful management in industrial and/or military settings. Geared toward the working student, classes meet in the evenings in five 8-week terms per year. The program is offered at military installations at Little Rock Air Force Base (Jacksonville, Ark.), Naval Support Activity Mid-South (Millington, Tenn.), Hurlburt Field, Fla., and at in-state sites at Fayetteville, Camden, and Blytheville. Students in remote locations may also earn the MSOM degree by taking video courses. This is a non-engineering degree that is open to students from all undergraduate backgrounds. See the Graduate School catalog for details.

The College of Engineering offers programs leading to the following eight undergraduate degrees:

• Bachelor of Science in Biological Engineering (B.S.B.E.)

Over the years thousands of engineering students have participated in the Cooperative Education (Co-op) program at the University of Arkansas program. Students have gained experience related to their major locally, within the state, across the nation, and internationally. The experience gained by Co-op students allows them to step into their first full-time positions ready to contribute in ways that other students cannot. The material shown below will give you the information you need to make the Co-op decision.

Cooperative Education (Co-op) is an academic program that allows students to gain practical work experience prior to graduation. Students work either full or part-time in paid, degree-related jobs.

Forms of Cooperative Education: Alternating and Parallel

In an alternating plan, students will alternate between semesters of oncampus study with semesters off-campus at your Co-op work site. In a parallel Co-op, students work part-time for a local company (15 to 25 hours each week) and attend school at least half-time. In either plan the student is considered a "full-time" student.

By participating in Cooperative Education, students have the chance to:

• Gain hands-on experience in a real world setting
• Confirm the choice of their major
• Make valuable industry contacts
• Enhance their communication skills
• Make money while also taking classes
• Help ensure a job at graduation

Requirements and Conditions

Undergraduate students must have completed 30 hours toward an engineering degree and must have a minimum 2.25 cumulative GPA. Students participating in a full-time Co-op must have 12 hours of course work remaining upon return to campus.

Graduate students must have completed 6 hours toward an engineering degree and must have a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA. Students participating in a full-time Co-op must have 3 hours of course work remaining (not thesis, dissertation, or research). They must also have approval of the departmental graduate adviser prior to interviewing for Co-op positions.

Transfer students must have completed one semester of full-time study in the College of Engineering and must meet all other Co-op requirements.

Students in F-1 non-immigration status must have completed nine months of study in the United States and must meet all other Co-op requirements. Fulltime Co-op assignments consist of the following scenarios:

• One semester away from campus (Spring, Summer, or Fall).
• One summer and one semester away from campus (Spring & Summer OR Summer & Fall).
• Alternating Semesters between Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Students who are away from campus for 2 semesters in one year, are eligible for only one semester away the following year with no more than three Coop semesters in a 24-month period. (Exceptions to this must be approved in advance by their Departmental Co-op Representative.) Students who are going to be away from campus for the Fall and Spring semester in the same academic must receive prior approval from their Departmental Co-op Representative.

Three-Two Transfer Plan

The College of Engineering recognizes that a graduate engineer, to be of full service to community, must be educated in the social sciences and humanities as well as in technical subjects. The practice of industry to elevate engineers to managerial and administrative positions elevates the desirability of a broad educational background. Likewise, most universities within Arkansas do not offer a degree in engineering. Accordingly, the College of Engineering of the University of Arkansas has entered into a cooperative program with several Arkansas “partner” universities to provide for a five-year combined course of study that leads to a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science degree from the partner university and an engineering degree from the University of Arkansas. Typically, a student spends the first three years at the partner university and then completes an engineering curriculum in two years at the University of Arkansas. The student is awarded the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science degree by the partner university. The student is awarded the Bachelor of Science in an engineering discipline by the University of Arkansas.

Freshmen admitted to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, are eligible to enroll in the College of Engineering. The freshman curriculum stresses a basic foundation in mathematics, physics, and chemistry, which will be required in later years. The sophomore, junior, and senior years are spent in a strong concentration on the student’s chosen field, with emphasis on industrial applications of classroom and laboratory work. By the selection of electives, a student can concentrate in depth in a particular subject, have the flexibility to study several subjects, and minor in an area of interest. Provision is made for electives in the humanities and social sciences as a means of providing a well-rounded education.

Computer Skills

Future students are strongly encouraged to take a one-year high school course in basic computer skills, which should include at a minimum: 1) basic use of a common operating system, 2) word processing, and 3) use of spreadsheets. All engineering departments either recommend or require that incoming students deficient in these skills take a specified remedial course. Taking high school courses in engineering drawing and computer programming also is beneficial and strongly encouraged.

International Students

Before being admitted all computer engineering applicants must submit a Test of Spoken English (TSE) score of at least 5.0, or a 7.0 on the spoken section of the IELTS, and an ACT score of 25 (or SAT score of 1140(R)) or above, to be eligible for admission.

Transfer of Credit

In addition to the University policies controlling the granting of credit for course work taken at other institutions, the following policies apply to students entering the College of Engineering.

1. All courses taken at another institution are subject to approval by the dean of the College of Engineering and the head of the degree-granting department. Credit from all institutions must be approved on a course-by-course basis to ensure its acceptability in fulfilling requirements for a degree in engineering. In making this evaluation, the student may be required by the dean and/or department head to produce catalogs from the institution from which the student is transferring that contain descriptions of the courses for which credit is expected in an engineering discipline.
2. Advanced (3000- and 4000-level at the University of Arkansas) engineering courses may not normally be transferred from institutions that do not have engineering programs accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
3. Unless exceptions are granted at the time of admission to the University of Arkansas, no degree credit will be granted for any course taken at another institution in which the student’s grade in that course was not the equivalent of at least 2.00 on a 4.00 grading system. See the Admission chapter in this catalog for more information.

The College of Engineering awards numerous scholarships and fellowships to entering freshmen, continuing students, transfer students, and graduate students. Most scholarships are based primarily on academic performance. However, scholarships also may be awarded on the basis of financial need and diversity. Scholarships are available from both the college and its individual departments. College scholarships are available to any engineering student, and departmental scholarships are meant for students enrolled in a particular discipline of engineering. Students must be admitted to the University of Arkansas and accepted into the College of Engineering to qualify and receive either a college or departmental scholarship. The college has a one-step application process that allows a student to be considered for all college-level and departmental scholarships.

For more information concerning scholarship and diversity opportunities, contact the Engineering Student Affairs Office at 575-3051 or e-mail engrdean@uark.edu.

Students are expected to keep themselves informed concerning current regulations, policies, and program requirements in their fields of study and must meet all requirements of the degree programs in which they are enrolled. Courses that are modified or added to a curriculum and that are incorporated into the curriculum at a level beyond that at which a student is enrolled may become graduation requirements for that student. Courses that are incorporated into the curriculum at a level lower than the one at which the student is enrolled are not required for that student.

Eligibility

Only students enrolled in the College of Engineering or enrolled in programs in which curricula require engineering courses will be allowed to take engineering courses. Exceptions to this requirement must be approved by the dean of engineering. This does not apply to graduate students.

Code of Ethics

Students in the College of Engineering are obligated to comply with pertinent provisions of the Code of Ethics applicable to professional practice following graduation. The Code requires “honesty, impartiality, fairness, and equity,’’ and “adherence to the highest principles of ethical conduct.” Most particularly, it states that engineers shall:

1. Be objective and truthful in professional reports, statements, or testimony;
2. Not falsify or permit misrepresentation of their academic or professional qualifications;
3. Give credit for engineering work to those whom credit is due;
4. Not compete unfairly with other engineers by attempting to obtain employment or advancement by improper or questionable methods;
5. Avoid any act tending to promote their own interest at the expense of the dignity and integrity of the profession.

The College of Engineering has established an honors program to challenge superior students with a more in-depth academic program and research experience and to provide a structure for working more closely with faculty members and other students in a team environment. An honors program is highly recommended for individuals planning academic or research related careers that require considerable critical and original independent thinking. Admission requirements for the college’s Honors Program are as follows: entering freshmen must have at least a 3.5 high school GPA and at least 28 composite score on the ACT; entering transfer students must have a 3.25 GPA on their transfer work. Students not qualifying for the Engineering Honors Program initially are eligible after one year if they earn at least a 3.25 GPA.

Students must formally apply for admission to the Engineering Honors Program. Once accepted into the program, Honors students take a minimum of 12 hours of Honors courses (a minimum of 6 of these 12 hours must be in engineering), participate in undergraduate research and write an undergraduate thesis, and must fulfill any additional departmental requirements. To retain status in the Honors Program, a student must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA (for all course work, computed at the end of the spring semester) of 3.25. To receive honors distinction at graduation, a student must hold a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or better (for all course work, computed at graduation). Students with a GPA between 3.25 and 3.50 do not receive honors distinction at graduation.

The basic requirement for a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering is 124-132 semester hours of academic work, depending on the career field chosen. Students coming from high school with adequate preparation will be able to satisfy this requirement in eight semesters; however, some students require preparatory courses, and others choose to enroll in slightly lighter loads and graduate in nine or ten semesters. Students enrolled in ROTC require an additional 19 semester hours to meet all graduation requirements and graduate in ten semesters (five years).

Engineering is a rapidly changing profession, and the departmental curricula are updated continuously to keep pace with these changes. Students entering under this catalog will be required to comply with such curriculum changes to earn their degree. However, the total number of semester hours required for the degree may not be increased, and all work completed in accordance with this catalog prior to the curriculum change will be applied toward the student’s degree requirements. Former students of the college must meet the curriculum requirements in effect at the time of their readmission.

Graduation Requirements

In addition to the specific departmental requirements for degree plans, students should refer to Academic Regulations for general university requirements. A portion of that information is listed here for convenience.

1. Residency Requirement – The full senior year must be completed in residence except that a senior who has already met the minimum residency requirement will be permitted to earn not more than 12 of the last 30 hours in extension or correspondence courses or in residence at another accredited institution granting the baccalaureate degree. No more than six of these 12 hours may be correspondence courses. The minimum residence requirement is 36 weeks and 30 semester hours. Residency for the senior year is defined as a period during which the student must be enrolled in courses offered on the campus in Fayetteville. This is intended to provide adequate contact with the University and its faculty for each student who is awarded a degree. Colleges and departments have the authority to prescribe residence requirements that exceed those described here.
2. Grade-Point Average – A candidate for a degree from the College of Engineering must have earned a grade-point average of no less than 2.00 on all courses in the student’s major area of study, all engineering courses, and all work completed at the university and presented for the degree. Grades on work taken at other colleges and presented for transfer credit must also meet this standard.
3. Courses That Do Not Count Toward a Degree – The following courses do not count toward degree credit: ANTH 0003, PHSC 0003, ENGL 0003, MATH 0003, CIED 0003, MATH 1203, MATH 1213, MATH 1285, and ENGL 2003.
4. “D” Rule – No student will be allowed to graduate if the student has “D” grades in more than 15 percent of all credit earned in this institution and presented to meet the requirements for a degree.
5. 68 Hour Rule – Students who transfer into the University may present for degree credit no more than 68 hours of lower division course work (1000 and 2000 level).
6. Advanced Composition – Every undergraduate student is required to take and pass ENGL 2003 Advanced Composition unless exemption can be gained. ENGL 2003 will not count as part of the total number of hours required for a degree in the College of Engineering.
7. University Core (State Minimum Core) –The University of Arkansas has adopted a University Core of 35 semester-credit-hours of general education courses that are required of all baccalaureate degree candidates. This is in compliance with Arkansas Act 98 of 1989 and the subsequent action of the Arkansas State Board of Higher Education. Beginning in the fall semester of 1991, all state institutions of higher education in Arkansas have a 35-hour minimum core requirement with specified hours in each of six academic areas. The University and the College of Engineering have identified those courses that meet the minimum requirement, and they are listed in the chart below.

Students should consult the requirements for specific departments and programs when choosing courses for use in the University Core.

Every student in the College of Engineering is required to complete a minimum of 18 semester hours in the humanities and social sciences. Six semester hours must be at the 3000-level or above. A list of approved upper-level humanities/social science courses is available in departmental offices and the dean’s office.

No more than nine semester hours from any single discipline may be presented for degree credit. To meet the University Core requirements, the total number of hours (both upper level and lower level) in the fine arts/humanities courses must be at least six, and the social science hours must total at least nine (in addition to the U.S. history or government requirement). The six hours of courses at the 3000 and 4000 level may be in the fine arts and humanities area, the social science area, or divided between the two areas. Since some of the humanities and social science courses are specified in some of the curricula, e.g., ECON 2143 in chemical and mechanical engineering, the student should consult the curriculum of the department in which he/she is enrolled prior to selecting upper-level electives.

Minors in Other Colleges and Schools

Students in the College of Engineering may pursue an academic minor in other colleges. For example, a minor in business is popular among engineering students. For requirements regarding minors, check the catalog listing for the department offering the minor. Students must notify the College of Engineering dean’s office of their intent to pursue a minor.

Requirements to Graduate with Honors

Students who have demonstrated exceptional academic performance in baccalaureate degree programs will be recognized at graduation by the honors designation of cum laude, magna cum laude, or summa cum laude. To earn this designation, the student must meet the following criteria:

1. Must have completed at least one-half of his or her degree work at the University of Arkansas;
2. Must have at least a 3.50 GPA on University of Arkansas course work, computed at graduation (students with grade-point averages lower than 3.50 do not receive honors designation at graduation);
3. Must successfully complete the Engineering Honors Program, which includes a minimum of 12 hours of honors courses (at least 6 of these hours in engineering), an undergraduate research experience and thesis, and any additional departmental requirements;
4. Research and thesis material shall be evaluated by each department;
5. For cum laude, the student must achieve a GPA of 3.50 or higher and have good or better performance on the undergraduate research and thesis;
6. For magna cum laude, the student must achieve a GPA of 3.75 or higher and have good or better performance on the undergraduate research and thesis;
7. For summa cum laude, the student must achieve a GPA of 3.90 or higher and have outstanding performance on the undergraduate research and thesis.

The criteria may be evaluated and changed periodically by the College of Engineering.

Requirements to Graduate with Distinction

Students who have not completed the Engineering Honors Program but have demonstrated excellent academic performance in baccalaureate degree programs will be recognized at graduation by the designation of “with distinction,” “with high distinction,” or “with highest distinction.” To earn these designations, the student must meet the following criteria on his or her University of Arkansas course work:

1. Must have completed at least one-half of his or her degree work at the University of Arkansas;
2. For “with distinction,” the student must achieve a GPA of 3.60 or higher;
3. For “with high distinction,” the student must achieve a GPA of 3.75 or higher;
4. For “with highest distinction,” the student must achieve a GPA of 3.90 or higher.
