Change in Minimum Degree Requirements for MSE Engineering
Faculty Document # 11-06 September
28, 2006 To: The Faculty of the College of Engineering From: The Faculty
of the School of Materials Engineering Subject: Change in
Minimum Degree Requirements for Materials Engineering ( B.S. MSE ) The Faculty of the School of Materials Engineering has approved
the following changes in the minimum degree requirements for the B.S. degree in
Materials Science and Engineering. This action is now submitted to the Engineering Faculty with a
recommendation for approval. These changes are in response to changes in the First-Year
Engineering Program effective for students entering Purdue in the Fall Semester
2006. The implementation of the first-year program into our curriculum
is summarized: (1) The number of
credit hours required for graduation is unchanged at 128. (2) The suggested
plan of study is unchanged for the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior years. The plan of
study assigns 32 credit hours total to the first year. (3) ENGL 106 ( 3
hrs) is replaced by "English
Composition ( 3 hrs) " to recognize
that other courses
are recognized substitutes. (4) COM 114 (3 hrs)
is replaced by "COM 114 or approved Communication elective." (5) We retain CHM
116 as a required course in our curriculum.
Students who enter our program
without this course will be accommodated by a revised plan of study that includes this
course in the Sophomore year. (6) MSE 190 ( or
other first year electives ) ( 1 hr )
becomes "first-year electives ( 2 hrs).” Many students
take a 4 hour English Composition course ( + 1 ) and a one-hour introductory
engineering course such as MSE 190 or ENGR 103 ( 1 hr) . (7) ENGR 106 ( 2
hrs) and CS 152 (2 hours) are replaced by ENGR 126 ( 3 hrs). (8) PHYS 152 becomes
PHYS 152 or 172 .
