1. The total number of credit hours at graduation may be greater for some students based on initial placement exams, transfer evaluations, individual curricular choices, and academic progress.
2. Certain courses fulfill multiple requirements. In consultation with your advisor, you will be able to plan your curriculum more effectively.
3. Students must fulfill the necessary prerequisites for any given course or course sequence. See the Prerequisite and Co requisite Policy in University-wide Academic Policies in this Bulletin.

ENGINEERING

 The programs in Engineering are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for  the Engineering and Technology (ABET).  These programs lead to a bachelor's degree with concentrations in the following fields of study:

Civil Engineering (B.S.C.E.)
Electrical Engineering (with Computer Engineering Option) (B.S.E.E.)
Mechanical Engineering (B.S.M.E.)

The engineering programs are structured to prepare the graduate for the professional practice of engineering and/or graduate study. The curricula emphasize a rigorous treatment of the mathematical and scientific approaches to the solution of engineering problems.

The final two years of study stress the synthesis of unique solutions rooted in the fundamental principles mastered during the first two years and culminates in a design project.

Program Goals, Objectives and Design Integration:

The objective of the Civil Engineering program at Temple University is to provide students with a broad knowledge of mathematics, physical and engineering sciences, computer utilization, communication skills, and societal factors from which students can synthesize unique solutions to relatively complex problems related to Civil Engineering. Since Civil Engineering professionals plan, design, construct and operate facilities which are essential to the quality of modern life, the Civil Engineering curriculum is based upon providing a fully integrated design experience by beginning with introductory courses in the study of engineering history and economics, then progressing through a broad coverage of the primary areas of practice within Civil Engineering (surveying, structures, geotechnical engineering, construction engineering, water resources, transportation, and environmental engineering), and finishing with a year long capstone Civil Engineering senior design project. The goal of the Civil Engineering program is to prepare students to pursue graduate education in their specific areas of interest, seek professional licensing, and become involved in design, project planning and research.

· Most technical courses in the program are offered during the day only.

Total Semester Hours for Civil Engineering Major: 129

Program Goals, Objectives and Design Integration:

The objective of the electrical and computer engineering program is to prepare students for careers as practicing engineers in the areas such as electrical and electronic circuits, digital logic design, control systems, microprocessor applications, and analog and digital communications. These careers are in applications, development, research, and design project supervision. In addition, a recent objective of the program is to prepare students for a career in the area of computer engineering as it relates to the design of integrated software/hardware systems with both high and low level computer systems programming and applications to electrical systems. This is currently attained through the development of a computer engineering option within electrical engineering, where the curriculum for the option has been developed in conjunction with the Computer and Information Sciences (CIS) department at Temple University.

Most technical courses in this program are offered during the day only.

Total Semester Hours for Electrical Engineering Major: 129

Computer Engineering Option:

Total Hours for Computer Engineering Option: 130 s.h.
(Other required courses for this option are listed above with Electrical Engineering Major Requirements – Science and Math / Communications, Humanities and Social Science)

Program Goals, Objectives and Design Integration:

The mission of the Mechanical Engineering Department is to provide an excellent educational experience for the students in its programs. This experience includes an emphasis on the technical, communication, and teamwork skills that graduate engineers need to succeed, in both the workplace and society in general. In order to achieve these goals, the department places great importance on teaching, research, scholarship, engineering practice and service to the University community and the Engineering profession. The mechanical engineering program is structured to prepare the graduate for the professional practice of engineering and/or graduate school. The curriculum emphasizes a rigorous treatment of the mathematical and scientific approach to the solution of engineering problems. It provides a coherent set of courses in energy conversion and structures/motion in mechanical systems. The program has design across the curriculum and is capped with an integrated design experience in the form of a senior project.

Most technical courses in the program are offered during the day only.

Total Semester Hours for the Mechanical Engineering Major: 130 s.h.
