1Written Communication University foundational outcome. Courses can be found at: http://www.purdue.edu/provost/students/s-initiatives/curriculum/courses.html
2Oral Communication University foundational outcome. Courses can be found at: http://www.purdue.edu/provost/students/s-initiatives/curriculum/courses.html
3other options include ABE 201, 210, CHE 211, MSE 260
4other options include CE 297, AAE 203
5sophomore science selective. Other options include PHYS 272 or BIOL 110, 203, 221, 230 231 or CHM 116, 255, 257, 261, 321, 333 or EAPS 104, 105, 109, 111, 112, 113, 116, 117, 120, 138, 171 (May not be the same course used as FYE Science Selective.)
6hands on (not computer) engineering lab; other options include 1 credit engineering lab class ( AAE 20401, AAE 33301, CE 343 etc.); 1 credit from a 2 credit engineering lab class (BME 306, NUCL 205, etc.); 1 credit from a 3 credit engineering class that includes a lab (ABE 305, CE 231, IE 386, MSE 235, etc); 1 credit from a 4 credit engineering class that includes a lab (ME 309, CE 203, CHE 377, ECE 270 etc.). Consult academic academic advisor for list of engineering lab courses.
7other option MA 265 + MA 266
8other option CE 298
9Topics vary by semester. Student will enroll twice to ensure coverage of each topic –switching between scenery mechanical automation design and scenery network design. (NOTE SPECIFIC COURSE RELATED TO CONCENTRATION)
10other options include AAE 333, ME 309, CHE 377
11other options include CGT 164, 110; THTR 254, 554.
12Engineering electives are chosen based on a student’s educational objective. Consult with academic advisor.
13other “materials course” options include MSE 230, AAE 204, ABE 305, CE 231, CE 331, CHE 330, ME 323 (ME CODO only)
14option must be approved, consult with academic advisor. Some examples are: ABE 330, ABE 435, AAE 251, CE 456, CE 470, ECE 270, EPCS 300+ level, IE 386, ME 263(CODO from ME only), ME 413, ME 444
15other options include IE 230, IE 330, STAT 350, STAT 511
16Humanities University foundational outcome. Courses can be found at: http://www.purdue.edu/provost/students/s-initiatives/curriculum/courses.html THTR 201 is used to satisfy the humanities outcome for this plan of study. (NOTE SPECIFIC COURSE RELATED TO CONCENTRATION)
17Three occurrences of THTR 597 will be taken. The first two occurrences are exposure and practicum based, and the 3rdoccurrence is the culminating capstone structured experience, as an individual project with high-level engineering focused deliverables as an outcome. This first occurrence counts as a general education elective 300+ level. The second occurrence counts as an Area Class. The third occurrence counts as the engineering capstone design course. (NOTE SPECIFIC COURSE RELATED TO CONCENTRATION)
18General education courses can be taken from the College of Liberal Arts, the Krannert School of Management, and/or the Honors College provided such courses are not focused primarily on engineering, technology, the natural sciences, or mathematics. Consult with academic advisor for acceptable general education courses.
19Science Technology and Society University foundational outcome. Courses can be found at: http://www.purdue.edu/provost/students/s-initiatives/curriculum/courses.html If EPCS is used to satisfy this outcome, 3 credits of EPCS must be taken, and an additional general education elective is required.
20other option IE 343
21Area classes are chosen based on a student’s educational objectives. These may be chosen to complete minors. Consult with academic advisor.
22Behavioral/Social Sciences University foundational outcome. Courses can be found at: http://www.purdue.edu/provost/students/s-initiatives/curriculum/courses.html
23other options include EPCS 411 + 412, THTR 597(See footnote 17). Consult with academic advisor.
Additional Requirements
A course listed on the Concentration Guideline is not a guarantee that the course will be accessible/made available to a student. Lack of availability could be due to any number of circumstances beyond the control of either student or program.
Engineering credits: A minimum 45 credits at 200+ level, of which at least 18 credits are at 300+ level and 6 credits of the 18 must be at 400+ level. Maximum number of credits in any engineering discipline is 24. It is the student’s responsibility to see that all prerequisites are met for selected courses.
30 credits must be Math and Basic Science (MA, BIOL, CHM, PHYS, EAPS, SLHS are some examples)
32 credits at 300+ level (any courses) must be taken at Purdue West Lafayette.
3 credits of “hands-on” (not computer lab) required. 2 credits must be engineering (See footnote 4). The third credit may be engineering on non-engineering. A non-engineering lab credit would be included in an AREA class. Some examples are BIOL, CHM, or PHYS lab classes or THTR and AD classes that include a studio component. Consult academic advisor for details.
