SECTION I – INTRODUCTION

General Prospective and new students in the College of Engineering (COE) have many questions about the College and the academic programs. The purpose of this document is to provide a guide for undergraduate students that will help them function and be successful in their pursuit of a BS degree in engineering. BS Degree Programs A good source of information for the College of Engineering is the webpage located at http://www.astate.edu/engr. The COE offers an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) with professional concentrations in civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering. In fall 2008, a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE), a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE), and a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) were added, and these programs are being reviewed in 2012 for ABET accreditation. The civil engineering program offers courses in all traditional civil engineering areas. Specific emphasis areas include environmental, transportation, water resources, structures, and geotechnical engineering. The faculty and students are involved in research and consulting on civil engineering problems in the region. These experiences are discussed in the classroom so that students learn the engineering theory as well as the practical application of theory to real world problems. The program has an extremely active student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers with strong faculty and community support. The mechanical engineering program includes traditional engineering science courses, exposure to manufacturing processes and automation, and multi-course sequences to provide proficiency in thermal and mechanical system design. The program provides its students with a broad and well-rounded educational foundation and stresses the necessity to engage in lifelong educational efforts to cope with the ever-changing landscape of science and technology. In addition, students have the opportunity to conduct research and to take courses in other disciplines such as business, mathematics, agriculture, and biological or physical sciences based on their individual career goals. The electrical engineering program offers a diverse undergraduate curriculum in both lecture and well-equipped laboratory courses, and is heavily committed to the total education and success of its students. Laboratory courses in electrical engineering areas provide intensive experience in experiment design, methodology, analysis, interfacing, and communication. The electrical engineering program offers undergraduate research opportunities in fields such as semiconductor materials and devices, electromagnetics, electrical power and machinery, and wireless communications. Student research experience has been invaluable in augmenting students' total education and preparing them for graduate education and/or career success.

SECTION II – ACADEMIC/ADVISING QUESTIONS

How do I Activate My ASU Student Account? All new students must activate their ASU student account before they can access BANNER Self Service to perform tasks such as registering for classes. To activate your account, go to www2.astate.edu and click “Current Students”. Next, click “Username and Password” located under “Quick Links” on the right side of the page. Read the Acceptable Use Policy, click “I Accept”, and click “Submit”. Enter your Student ID number and your PIN (usually your 6-digit birth date); then makeup a Password that you will remember and enter the Password again to confirm; and click “Submit”. This action will generate and give you your ASU-J e-mail address, which serves as your User Name, and will tell you that your account has been activated. How do I Access BANNER Self Service? To access BANNER Self Service, go to www2.astate.edu and click “Current Students”. Next, click “MyCampus”, located under “Quick Links” on the right side of the page. Alternatively, you can type in.astate.edu to the address bar to access MyCampus. After accessing MyCampus, you will see a log in box on the right side of the page. Enter your User Name (FirstName.LastName) and Password. After logging in, you will see an icon labeled “Banner Self Service”. Click this icon, and you will be redirected to BANNER Self Service. Here, you will see four links. Through these links, you can view and edit your personal and contact information, view your academic and financial aid information, print off an unofficial transcript, and register for classes. Who is My Academic Advisor? Upon declaring engineering as a major, each student is assigned a faculty advisor in his or her area (civil, electrical, or mechanical). Generally, advisors are assigned based on the first letter of the student’s last name. Ask one of the engineering secretaries in LSW 239 or LSW 245 who your advisor is, or refer to Section III, Engineering Faculty, of this guide. Ask one of the secretaries to verify that your major and advisor are listed correctly in BANNER student records. How do I Prepare a Degree Plan? All courses required for a specific degree in the College of Engineering (COE) are listed in Section IV, Degree Requirements, of this guide. A current four-year, semester-by-semester, plan for each of the BS degrees can be obtained from the Engineering Offices, LSW 239 or LSW 245. The semester-by-semester plans show courses in the proper sequence so that co- and prerequisite courses are completed first. Your faculty advisor should maintain a file for you which includes a program graduation check sheet and past advisement records. Example copies of the graduation check sheets are given here in Appendix A. Also, you can find a copy of the graduation check sheets on the K-drive of

http://www.astate.edu/http://www.astate.edu/http://in.astate.edu/

3

the COE server under a file named Advising Forms. Maintaining your own graduation check sheet is a good idea so that you can keep up with courses completed, grades, your GPA, and courses remaining for graduation. How Frequent are Mathematics, Science, and Engineering Courses Offered? The required mathematics (Calculus and Differential Equations), General Chemistry, and University Physics classes are offered every fall and spring semester and also during summer school. The engineering “core” courses (ENGR prefix) are offered every semester and a few are also offered during summer school. Required courses in the discipline areas (civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering) are offered once per year, but some courses fulfilling options might only be offered once every three or four semesters depending on demand. The semester-by-semester degree plans show the semester in which the courses are offered. How do I Plan Classes for Next Semester? Students are required to meet with their academic advisor to plan classes for the next semester. The ASU-J online registration system automatically prevents engineering majors from registering for classes each semester by placing an “advising hold” on their student account. Also, the online registration system prevents a student from registering for an engineering course or any other course without the proper prerequisites or co-requisites. However, if you are currently enrolled in a prerequisite course during the advising period, the system allows you to register for the subsequent course in the following semester. The University sends an announcement to let students know the days when they can begin registering for fall, spring, or summer classes. You will need to contact your advisor and setup a meeting prior to these enrollment periods. For example, during November, you will be allowed to register for spring classes depending on your classification (priority registration, seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen). Those with priority designation (honors, athletes, etc.) are allowed to register first followed by seniors and so forth. You are required to bring a current, unofficial copy of your transcript when you meet with your advisor. To print an unofficial transcript, you will need to access BANNER Self Service. After accessing the BANNER Self Service page, click “Student”, then “Student Records” on the next page. You can view and print off an unofficial transcript by clicking Academic Transcript on this page. If you are enrolled in classes at the time of advisement, the unofficial copy of your transcript must show the courses for which you are enrolled. Using your unofficial transcript and graduation check sheet, you and your advisor will select courses for the next semester, and the advisor will complete a form called the College of Engineering Registration Advising Form (see Appendix B). The form must be signed by you and your advisor, and you should receive a copy after being advised. Your advisor then forwards the form to one of the secretaries, and your “advising hold” will be removed which will allow you to register using the online registration

4

system. The advising form is returned to your faculty advisor, and the form becomes a permanent record in your student file. If you make changes to the agreed-upon schedule, you must let your advisor know so that the change can be documented on the advising form. How can I Find the Co- and Prerequisites for Courses? It is your responsibility to check the current co- and prerequisite requirements for courses. A list of prerequisite and co-requisite course requirements is kept for reference by faculty advisors, and the lists are maintained and updated by the College Curriculum Committee. A listing of the current degree program courses along with their co-requisites and/or prerequisites is given in Appendix C. In rare instances, for example, the course will not be offered again before your scheduled graduation date, you might be allowed to enroll in a course without having completed the listed prerequisite. This will require that a Course Override Approval Form (Appendix B) be completed. You and your advisor must provide a written justification on the form. The form must be signed by your advisor, the course instructor, the program director, and the dean to indicate approval of the override. If approved, you will be given a permit by one of the secretaries which will allow you to enroll in the course, and the form is then placed as a permanent record in your student file. It is the policy of the College of Engineering to allow transfer students having difficulty making a full class schedule to override the requirement of ENGR 1402, Concepts of Engineering, and/or ENGR 1412, Software Applications for Engineers, as “prerequisites” for other engineering courses. In these situations, ENGR 1402 and/or ENGR 1412 will be considered “co-requisites”, and the student must register for ENGR 1402 and/or ENGR 1412 and the engineering course (for example ENGR 2403) during the same semester. Advisors are required to complete the override form and attach a copy of this policy to the form. How do I Register for Classes? The first step to register for classes is to make an appointment with your academic advisor. Refer to the question above on “How do I plan classes for next semester?” You should also check to see if you have any holds on your account. You can view your holds through BANNER Self Service on the ASU website. In order to register, you must not owe money to ASU, including parking tickets and other various fees you may have accumulated throughout the semester. To register for classes, go to BANNER Self Service, click “Student”, then “Registration”, then “Look Up Classes”. Next, select the term you are interested in registering for and submit your selection. This page has several search functions to allow you to find the classes you are trying to register for. By using this tool, you can look up classes using the class’s course number, title, start and end time, and many other functions. The easiest functions to use are the course number and title. By knowing the course number or title of a class you are interested in, you

5

can see all sections of the class that are being offered for the semester you are interested in. After finding the class you want to take, you can check the box under the “Select” column heading and click register at the bottom of the page to register for the class. How do I Drop a Class? Dropping a course is really a schedule change....you are dropping one or more of your courses, but you are still enrolled in at least one course. The procedure for dropping a class varies depending on when you decide to do it. During the first week of classes, you can drop any class that you are enrolled in directly through Banner Self-Service on MyCampus. First enter Banner Self-Service, click “Student”, then “Registration”, then “Add or Drop Classes.” The term you plan to modify then has to be selected. Once you can view your schedule, you can select to drop a course from a drop-down box in the action column, click “Submit Changes” at the bottom of the page to drop the course. If a class is dropped during this period, you will not be charged for it. After the first week, you can still drop through Banner Self-Service, however, you should contact the registrar to ensure that you are withdrawn from the class. If a class is dropped during the second week of classes, you will be refunded 75% of the cost of the class. After the second week, you will receive no refund if a class is dropped. The last day to drop a class without receiving a grade is generally about two weeks before the last day of scheduled classes. You cannot drop a class after this date, and you will be assigned a final grade by the course instructor. How do I Withdraw from All Classes?

Withdrawing is when you drop ALL of your courses which involves withdrawing from ASU for the semester. Students may withdraw from the University using Banner Self-Service at any time during the scheduled registration periods. Students have until the Sunday after the first week of classes in a regular semester (or until Friday of the first week of classes in a five-week summer term). After this time period has passed, students must obtain a withdrawal form from the Advisement Services Office located in the Wilson Advisement Center.

Students receiving Financial Aid must obtain an approval signature from the Financial Aid Office. The withdrawal process is complete when the form is accepted and signed by Advisement Services in the Wilson Center for Academic Advisement. This process must be completed two weeks prior to the beginning of the final examination period during Fall and Spring semesters. Academic Affairs will identify appropriate deadlines for other semesters.

Grades earned in courses completed prior to official withdrawal from the university (i.e., short courses) will not be affected by withdrawal. Classes that have been withdrawn will remain on the student's transcript with a "W" grade for withdrawal. Once the withdrawal process is complete, the classes withdrawn will not affect the student's GPA.

6

Students who cease to attend classes without processing an official withdrawal form or who do not complete the withdrawal process will automatically receive an "F" in all courses in which they were enrolled.

Are “D” Grades Accepted to Meet Degree Requirements? Grades of “D” are acceptable for some required General Education courses and some mathematics, science, and engineering courses that are not prerequisite courses. A grade of “C” or better is required for ENG 1003, Composition I, before enrolling in ENG 1013, Composition II. Students must complete ENG 1013 with a grade of “C” or better. The ASU Department of Mathematics and Statistics requires a grade of “C” or better in prerequisite mathematics courses for Calculus II, Calculus III, and Differential Equations. The College of Engineering requires that ALL prerequisite engineering, mathematics, and science courses be completed with a grade of “C” or better BEFORE attempting the subsequent engineering courses. Thus, a grade of “D” would not be accepted for these prerequisite courses. Although grades of “D” are accepted for some upper-level engineering courses, all engineering degrees require that the following conditions be met:

1. “C” or better in EACH course in the Engineering Core. 2. “C” or better in EACH course in the 49-hour major requirements; or 2.5 or

greater grade point average in the 49-hour major requirements. If I Changed My Major to Engineering, Will My Courses be Acceptable for Degree Credit? Courses listed by prefix, number, and title on your ASU-J transcript that are also listed as degree requirements for engineering would be accepted for degree credit if your course grades meet the minimum grade requirements described above. If you have a grade of “D” in a prerequisite course, you will be required to repeat the course. It is possible that some of the General Education courses that you have completed for other majors would not be acceptable for the General Education courses for engineering majors. How Can I Get My Transfer Courses Evaluated for Credit at ASU-J? Courses completed by students prior to transferring to ASU-J, as well as transfer courses completed after initial enrollment at ASU-J, are evaluated by the Registrar’s Office. You will need to request that your prior institution submit an official transcript to the ASU-J Registrar’s Office. The registrar is responsible for determining what courses will be accepted for transfer and the semester credit hours to be awarded. If questions of equivalency exist, transfer credit and course equivalency must be approved by the appropriate department where the course is offered on the ASU-J campus.

7

International transfer students must first have their coursework evaluated for US equivalency by an approved evaluator such as Educational Credential Evaluators, Inc. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The student must then have the official evaluation sent to the ASU-J Registrar’s Office for review. The courses from most regional universities and community colleges have been previously evaluated by ASU-J departments, and the Registrar’s Office keeps a record of equivalencies for future use as new students transfer from these institutions. Your transfer courses and credit hours accepted by the University will be documented by a Transfer Equivalency Worksheet prepared by the Registrar’s Office. What Transfer Courses are Acceptable for Engineering Degrees at ASU-J? Although your courses may be accepted for transfer credit by the ASU-J Registrar’s Office and entered on your permanent academic record, some transfer courses may not be acceptable as credit toward an engineering degree. Transfer of English Composition courses are not generally accepted from international institutions. This policy is normally waived for citizens of the British Isles, Australia, the English speaking portions of Canada and New Zealand. Generally, if the ASU-J registrar has accepted your transfer courses (indicating equivalency) required for the engineering degree and offered outside the College of Engineering (for example Calculus I), then the course will be accepted for engineering degree credit. It is the responsibility of your faculty advisor to contact other ASU-J departments if they have a question of equivalency for a transfer course. When evaluating your transfer courses, your faculty advisor will provide documentation in your file concerning the courses and credit hours accepted for degree credit. The evaluation is initially based on documents provided by the ASU-J Registrar’s Office such as the Transfer Equivalency Worksheet showing credit and non-credit courses. Courses in the area of engineering science and engineering design must be equivalent before substitution can be made in your degree plan or be suitable as an elective. This determination is made by your faculty advisor and program director after reviewing the course description from the catalog of the institution from which the course is being transferred. Your faculty advisor may also interview you about the course content, request other materials, and/or require you to take a qualifying examination over the materials. It is the responsibility of each program director and the dean of the College of Engineering to evaluate and give final approval of transfer credit for engineering courses. A grade of “D” in a transferred engineering course is not acceptable for degree credit. Equivalent engineering courses taken from other ABET accredited programs with grades of “C” or better are acceptable for degree credit. Normally, engineering courses taken at non-ABET accredited engineering programs are not accepted for degree credit except for lower-level courses (1000 and 2000 level) shown to be essentially equivalent and with a grade of “C” or better.

8

What is the Minimum Number of Hours at ASU-J Required for Transfer Students? Transfer students pursuing an engineering degree are required to complete a minimum of 32 semester credit hours of engineering courses at ASU-J. Can Current Students Take Courses at Another Institution and Transfer Credit to ASU-J? A student in good standing at ASU-J desiring to take courses at another institution with the intent of transferring those courses into their requirements for graduation at ASU-J must secure the signature of their advisor, program director, and the dean on an agreement form that is available in the COE dean’s office or provide e-mail documentation of the approvals. In general, this is only allowed for non-engineering courses. If you take courses at another institution without prior approval, the College of Engineering is not obligated to accept the courses for degree credit.

SECTION IV – DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

General Requirements Most of the requirements for engineering degrees are described in this section of the guide. However, you should review the current ASU-J Undergraduate Bulletin for other University policies and requirements that might apply to you. Recent ASU-J Undergraduate Bulletins can be found online at http://registrar.astate.edu/. Students with an undergraduate engineering degree from another institution and pursuing a second degree in engineering at ASU-J must meet all University requirements and complete a minimum of 32 semester hours of engineering courses at ASU-J for graduation. Student having completed (or in process of completing) an undergraduate engineering degree at ASU-J and pursuing a second degree in engineering at ASU-J must meet the residency requirements of the University and meet all course requirements for the second degree. An undergraduate engineering degree at ASU-J requires 125 semester credit hours of specific courses for the BSE degree and 128 semester credit hours for the BSCE, BSEE, or BSME degree. The curriculum includes 38 semester credit hours of University-required General Education Courses which includes 20 credit hours of mathematics and science courses. The curriculum also includes an additional 7 credit hours of Other Mathematics and Science Courses for all engineering majors, 34 credit hours of Engineering Core Courses that all engineering majors must complete, and 49 (46 for the BSE degree) credit hours of Civil Engineering Major Courses, Electrical Engineering Major Courses, or Mechanical Engineering Major Courses.

SECTION V – STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS

American Society of Civil Engineers The student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) at ASU-J is one of the most active student organizations on campus. ASCE is proud of their involvement in the community through service projects such as bell ringing and handing out Christmas presents in conjunction with the Salvation Army. Every year, ASCE competes against several other schools in the concrete canoe, steel bridge, surveying, environmental, and several other competitions that change nearly every year. In addition to the community service and competitions, there are several other events that go on throughout the year. Speakers regularly attend ASCE general body meetings to talk about local and state business and job opportunities, as well as how to understand important issues engineers face, such as ethics in engineering. Students are required to pay yearly dues of $10 for sophomores and $20 for juniors and seniors to be in the student chapter of ASCE. The officers for the 2012-2013 school year are as follows: President – Matthew Rowe, Vice President – Jarrett Cooper, Secretary – Matthew Wallace, Treasurer – Alicia Kiech, and Historian – Eric Romero. To learn more about ASCE at ASU-J, contact Dr. Thomas Parsons at tparsons@astate.edu or the officers at asuasce@gmail.com.

American Society of Mechanical Engineers

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a worldwide engineering society focused on technical, educational, and research issues. It conducts one of the world's largest technical publishing operations, and sets many industrial and manufacturing standards. Being a member of ASME is considered a sign of career professional.

mailto:tparsons@astate.edumailto:asuasce@gmail.com

The ASME Chapter at ASU-J is active in COE tailgate parties and cookouts. We used to participate in the annual Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) competition, in which a bicycle or tricycle is designed and fabricated to compete against other schools across the Nation. However, we are currently in the process of switching to the robotics competitions. In 2012-2013 we will be competing in our first robotics competition and plan to learn a great deal from the experience. To become a member of ASME you must go to www.asme.org, click ‘Join’ in the upper right corner then fill out the appropriate personal information. First-year student membership is free, and after that there is a $25 annual fee. With membership, you become eligible for ASME scholarships, discounts, monthly news letter, and many other benefits. For more information you may contact us at asme.asuj@gmail.com, or Dr. David Jeong, ASME faculty advisor, at kjeong@astate.edu. The chapter officers for 2012-13 are Jonathan Cole (President) jonathan.cole@smail.astate.edu Nathan Smith (Vice President) Nathan.smith@smail.astate.edu Arnold Jackson (Treasurer) arnold.jackson@smail.astate.edu Ryan Listenbee (Secretary) ryan.listenbee@smail.astate.edu

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is one of the largest professional organizations in the world, with over 300,000 members worldwide and numerous societies, publications, and conferences that span the diverse panorama of electrical, computer, and related areas of engineering and science. Membership is open to essentially all engineers and scientists whose professions overlap the broad areas of electrical, electronic, computer, electromagnetic, and optoelectronic engineering, science, and technology.

The ASU-J Student Branch of IEEE was chartered in early 1983 with Dr. Robert Engelken as the Faculty Counselor. Dr. Engelken, Professor of Electrical Engineering, continues in this role and has coordinated 25 years of IEEE students and activities. However, all of the ASU-J electrical engineering faculty members and many EE students are active members of IEEE. Officer positions in the Branch are Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, and Public Relations Officer. In 2012/2013, these positions are held, respectively, by James O’Quinn, David McNew, John Hall, Carson Munn, and Joshua Johnson. Elections for such are held annually very early during the fall semester. The officers work closely with the EE faculty in coordinating Branch activities. For more information, you can contact Dr. Paul Mixon at pmixon@astate.edu or the Branch officers.

Society of Women Engineers The student chapter of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is in the development stages due to the small number of female students in the engineering programs at ASU-J. However, this group is involved with many community projects in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and they are currently working on a rain gage research. The SWE also attends the science fair every year at the public library in Jonesboro. Branch officers are President Ashley Smith, Vice President Jai Jai Nije, Secretary Renitas Coleman, and Recruitment Officer Kayleigh Lincomfelt. Along with organizing projects and getting involved in the community, members also promote female careers in engineering in local high schools. Students are required to pay yearly dues of $20 to be national members of SWE. You can join by going to http://www.swe.org. To learn more about SWE at ASU-J, you can contact the faculty advisor, Mrs. Jody Walker, at leahwalker@astate.edu.

College of Engineering Ambassadors The College of Engineering Ambassadors is a group of engineering students selected to promote the College of Engineering (COE) and the engineering profession. These students serve the COE in a variety of ways. Activities include serving as a voice for all engineering students to the College’s administration, updating the Academic Guide for Engineering Students, promoting engineering and recruiting at high schools, assisting with new-student orientation and on-campus recruiting functions, serving as COE representatives at various university-sponsored events such as industry mixers and tailgate parties, and hosting the annual COE Awards Program. Students are selected in the spring semester each year by the faculty from each major area in the COE to fill a total of six Ambassador positions. In some instances, students are asked to serve a second year as an Ambassador. The COE Ambassadors program is recognized as a prestigious collegiate organization. Involvement in this program provides students with opportunities to improve public speaking and leadership skills, and to grow professionally. Consequently, this experience is a valuable addition to their resume. If you have questions or have an issue that needs attention, please contact your Ambassadors or the faculty advisor, Dr. Rick Clifft, at rclifft@astate.edu. The 2012-2013 Ambassadors are: Jarrett Cooper Jarrett.cooper@smail.astate.edu Civil Engineering Eric Romero eric.romero@smail.astate.edu Civil Engineering Shawn Zhang Xiaobo.zhang@smail.astate.edu Electrical Engineering David McNew david.mcnew@smail.astate.edu Electrical Engineering Arnold Jackson arnold.jackson@smail.astate.edu Mechanical Engineering Cecilia Clark Cecilia.clark@smail.astate.edu Mechanical Engineering
