FrE Admission to Professional ProgramsEngineering Faculty Document No. 39-03 Page 1 of 2 TO: The Faculty of
the Schools of Engineering FROM: The Faculty of the Department of
Freshman Engineering and DATE: SUBJECT: Admission to the Professional Programs in
Engineering The Faculty of the Department of
Freshman Engineering and the Freshman Engineering Curriculum Committee have approved changes to the first-year program for students
in Freshman Engineering. As a result, it
is necessary to modify the courses used in calculating the Engineering
Admissions Index (EAI), used in determining students' eligibility for admission
to the professional programs in engineering.
This action is now submitted to the Engineering Faculty with a
recommendation for approval. Changes CHM 136, CS 160, and ENGR 126 and
126H are added to the list of courses that will be included in the calculation
of the EAI. Courses they replaced, and
any other courses no longer specifically required in the freshman program, are
deleted. These include CS 152, 154, 156,
and 158; ENGR 106 and 116; ENGL 101, 101I, and 103; and COM 114. Reason Existing policies were established
by EFD 46-99, in March 2000, which provides, in part, that: "Necessary revisions in the exact courses
which make up the EAI will be made and reported, when needed, by the Department
of Freshman Engineering and the Freshman Engineering Curriculum Committee to
the engineering faculty." The
supporting documentation attached reflects the existing practice and the
modifications proposed herein, in satisfying the quoted requirement. The modified policies and procedures are
intended for implementation for students who enroll in Freshman Engineering at
Purdue in May 2004 and thereafter. ____________________________________ Kamyar Haghighi, Head Department of Freshman Engineering Engineering Faculty Document No. 39-03 Page 2 of 2 Supporting Documentation Present: The following courses are presently included in the EAI: Minimum
