  3. Required Electives Humanities/Social Sciences • Complete S&T list at http://ugs.mst.edu/ • Many other options. • No restriction on skills/performance courses. • Public speaking/writing courses. • Music performance, art skills.

  4. Required Electives Free electives – for Engineering programs, these CANNOT include deficiency courses, such as algebra or trigonometry. The following engineering departments restrict any free electives to 3 credit hours if not in Science or Engineering:Aerospace, , Architectural, Chemical/Biochemical, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, MechanicalThree departments have some hours of free electives and they are NOT restricted:Engineering Mgmt (6)Metallurgical Engineering (5)Nuclear Engineering (6)These five engineering departments don’t currently have any free electives in their curricula:Ceramic, Civil, Geological, Mining, Petroleum Technical electives – usually must be approved by major advisor. Specific degree programs and emphasis areas may require specific courses (see Course Catalog)

  10. Programming Requirements(as of Fall 2012) • Programming Requirement Summary • Required for Aerospace, Chemical, Computer, Electrical, Engineering Management, Mechanical, Nuclear • Not Required for Architectural, Ceramic, Civil, Environmental, Geological, Metallurgical, Mining, Petroleum Architectural and Civil Engineering ArchE/CvE 003 Engineering Communications is required instead of programming. Department will no longer substitute programming for ArchE/CvE 003. Petroleum Engineering Programming no longer required.

  12. Environmental Engineering • Previous requirement. • IDE 140 Statics and Dynamics. • Williams Law Requirements • History 175 or 176 are needed as a prerequisite for a required upper-level history course at S&T • New requirements. (as of Fall 2010) • IDE 50 (now CE 50)Engineering Mechanics-Statics • IDE 150 Engineering Mechanics-Dynamics • IDE 110 and 120 (now CE 110/120) Mechanics of Materials and Lab

  13. Interdisciplinary Engineering Alternatives Example Track 1 – Acoustic and Electronic Systems Example Track 2 - Disaster Management Pursue an Environmental or Geological Engineering degree with: CE 1 Surveying GE 50 Engineering Geology EE 207 Electrical Power Systems CE 217 Structural Analysis I Env E 261 Intro Env. Eng. & Sc. Arch E 319 Applied Mechanics in Structural Engineering Arch E 322 Analysis & Design of Wood Structures Pursue a EE degree with: • EE 267/268 Linear Systems II with Lab • EE 253/255 Electronics I with Lab • EE 254/256 Electronics II with Lab • Math 325 Partial Differential Equations • Phys 345 Acoustics, ME 309 Engineering Acoustics I, EE 341 Digital Signal Processing (select two)

  14. Bio Engineering Chemical Engineering –Biochemical Engineering Emphasis Biomaterials Minor Materials Minor with courses in: Metallurgy for Engineers Material Processing Tissue engineering Biomaterials I One additional elective Specially designed Chemical Engineering track incorporating: • Cellular Biology • Microbiology • Molecular Chemical Engineering • Molecular Genetics • Biochemical Separations • Biochemical Reactors

  15. Transfer Guides • Revised guides are online. • Students will keep their original catalog year. • Front page shows courses typically taken during the first two years, and equivalent courses at the partner institution. • Back page outlines specific requirements and courses necessary for each engineering degree program at Missouri S&T.

  16. STEM Transfer Guides • New guides for STEM disciplines for all community colleges. • Biological Sciences BA, BS, Teacher Certification • Chemistry BA, BS, Teacher Certification • Computer Science BS • Geology and Geophysics BS • Math BS, Teacher Certification • Physics BS, Teacher Certification • Education still pending approval.

  17. Humanities, Social Sciences, Business • New guides for “other” majors for selected community colleges. • Business BS • Economics BA, BS, Teacher Certification • English BA, Teacher Certification • History BA, Teacher Certification • IST BS • Philosophy BA • Psychology BA, BS, Teacher Certification • Technical Communication BS • In progress.

  18. Math Placement Math Placement Testing for New Transfer Students • Tool to help insure that new students are taking the appropriate math class. • Two Tests • MMPT • Trigonometry • Students who need testing should be referred to http://braintrax.mst.edu/ to brush up on their skills before the test.

  19. Math Placement Testing Guidelines for Engineering, Math, Science, and Computer Science Majors Follow these guidelines for any major that requires Math 008 or 014. Students who have completed the equivalent of Calculus II with a grade of C or better ARE NOT REQUIRED TO TEST. Students who will have completed the equivalent of Calculus I with a grade of C or better by the time they transfer to S&T and DO NOT have AP or college credit for trig ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE THE TRIG PLACEMENT TEST ONLY. Other students must take both the algebra and trigonometry placement tests. (Note: Low grades in Calculus I or II may indicate problems with algebra or trig skills. Math placement scores can help the advisor to better advise the student.) If a student who requires math testing has never taken a trigonometry class and has no trig background, the student MAY CHOOSE to not take the trigonometry test and, consequently, will be required to take trig (Math 6) at Missouri S&T. The student must still take the algebra test.

  20. Math Placement Testing Guidelines for IST, Business, Economics Majors Students who have completed the equivalent of Business Calculus (Math 012) ARE NOT REQUIRED TO TEST. Other students must take ONLY THE ALGEBRA TEST. Testing Guidelines for Other Majors Follow these guidelines for any major that does not require calculus or business calculus.   History, English, psychology, majors do not need placement testing as new students. Students who have completed the equivalent of College Algebra (Math 004) or a higher math course with a grade of C or better ARE NOT REQUIRED TO TEST. Others must take ONLY THE ALGEBRA TEST. Again, when advising “exploratory” students, be careful to keep their options open by choosing a math sequence that could lead to Calculus 1

  21. Chemical Engineering Note 2nd Communication course not required. • EN 60, 160, or SPMS 085 previously required will now count as general education/free elective. CHEME 120 and 141 are Key Pre-Requisites ChemE 120 – Chem Engineering Material & Energy Balances ChemE 141 – Chem Engineering Thermodynamics I • Prerequisites for ChemE 231 and 245. • Probably NOT available in the summer. • Spring Chemical Engineering transfers will take those courses their first semester here.

  22. Biological Sciences Note Chemistry Courses are Key Pre-requisites Biological Sciences majors are strongly encouraged to complete 2 semesters of general chemistry and of organic chemistry before transferring. These are pre-requisites for many upper-level biological sciences courses. Biological Sciences BS requires: 9 hours of general chemistry (Chem 1,2,3 &4) 8 hours of organic chemistry (Chem 221 & 226, 223 & 228) 3 hours of general biochemistry (Chem 361)

  23. Syllabi for Core Courses transferconference.mst.edu Math • Calculus, Statistics • Calculus Exam Archives and Basic Skills Exams IDE • Intro to Engineering Design • Statics (now CE) • Dynamics • Mechanics of Materials (now CE) • Materials Testing Lab (now CE) Electrical Engineering • EE 281 • EE 151 • EE Practice Advancement Exams English 65 Computer Science 2008 all Physics (all)

  24. Discussion Topic: • What resources does your institution offer in the way of Career Exploration? • Where does a student go to discuss their intended major, and any change of major they are contemplating?
