The professional engineering curriculum emphasizes those subject areas that are common to the broad field of engineering while allowing for the development of professional competence within one of four specific engineering disciplines. The curriculum is also designed to provide for the attainment of cultural and intellectual maturity, the encouragement of personal growth and the development of moral, ethical, and social responsibility. The development of broad technical competence within engineering is achieved through a group of mathematics, science, and engineering core courses that emphasize fundamental knowledge, techniques, and processes. Specific professional competence is assured by the completion of a coherent group of courses chosen from civil, computer, electrical, or mechanical engineering. Intellectual, cultural, and moral development is encouraged through the selection of General Studies courses within the curriculum.
Flexibility in this program is provided by elective course selection and limited substitutions, individually chosen in consultation with an adviser and approved by the School of Engineering to form an integral professional engineering program. Students wishing to follow careers in other specialized fields, such as architectural engineering, highway engineering, environmental engineering, aerospace engineering, electronics engineering, nuclear engineering, or other areas will be prepared to do so through subsequent professional experience or graduate study.
Satisfactory progress depends upon maintaining a 2.00 minimum grade point average. Students who fail to make satisfactory progress may be advised to register with a reduced course load or to consider other educational alternatives.
A student who retains more than 8 hours of grades less than C- on his current scholastic record will automatically have his performance reviewed by the School of Engineering. The school may require that some of the courses be repeated, or it may establish alternative requirements. All courses with D- and F grades must be repeated to apply toward graduation.
Students enrolled in the professional curriculum must complete a total of 200 quarter hours, including the engineering general studies requirements, the core requirements, the mathematics and science requirements, and one engineering concentration. Senior students are required to participate in the Senior Engineering Tour and the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam.
A student pursuing two concentrations within the BSE degree will be required to complete all the requirements of both concentrations and have a minimum of 224 credit hours in order to graduate. Each concentration must have a minimum of 24 credit hours that are applied only to that concentration.
ENGINEERING GENERAL STUDIES REQUIREMENTS (44 credits)
The general studies content within the engineering curriculum is similar to the standard General Studies requirements for the baccalaureate degree at Walla Walla College. However, there are important differences that must be observed. Forty-four credits must be distributed as follows:

ENGINEERING CORE REQUIREMENTS (47 to 64 credits)
The engineering core consists of a group of studies that emphasize the enduring fundamentals common to the many branches of engineering and the applied sciences. These studies help ensure that the student will enjoy a truly professional career and be prepared to move into new or developing technical areas with confidence. Limited flexibility is provided within the core. However, this flexibility is affected by specific course requirements within each engineering concentration. Students are therefore cautioned to consult with their advisers before selecting these courses.
All students are required to present 47 to 64 credits of core courses depending upon the engineering concentration selected. In addition, the indicated minimum requirements must be satisfied within each individual section of the core.
In the following listings the symbols CE, CpE, EE, and ME indicate the core organization for the civil, computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering concentrations respectively. The letter (e) indicates that the marked course is a possible elective, the letter (r) indicates that the marked course is required for that concentration.
