The engineering profession applies the principles of mathematics, science, economics, ethics, and social sciences to use the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind. Faculty of the Edward F. Cross School of Engineering, in the context of the mission of the University and with broad campus support, strive to provide all students with

• A broad-based, high-quality engineering education that will prepare them to enter, succeed, and grow in the practice of engineering in industry, private practice, and government.
• A sound preparation and motivation for life-long learning, including programs of advanced study in engineering or associated fields.
• An environment that promotes the development of character, teamwork, leadership, and ethical conduct as a foundation for productive service to society, both professionally and personally; and
• An atmosphere that encourages students to develop a spirit of service to community consistent with Christian and humanitarian principles.

Degrees Offered. The Edward F. Cross School of Engineering offers curricula leading to two distinct degrees. The Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) degree is designed to prepare students to enter professional engineering practice and to provide undergraduate instruction that will serve as a strong foundation for graduate studies. The curriculum includes elective concentrations in civil, computer, electrical, and mechanical engineering. The B.S.E. program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, telephone: (410) 347-7700.

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree with a major in bioengineering is intended primarily for students planning to pursue advanced studies in bioengineering, medicine, dentistry, public health, or physiology. It is not designed for students desiring to enter directly into the practice of professional engineering following their undergraduate study.

Admission Requirements. Requirements for admission to the School of Engineering are 40 semester credits of English, 10 semester credits of laboratory science, 30 semester credits of mathematics (beyond general mathematics), and 20 semester credits of history. The mathematics background should include algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. A fourth year of mathematics, a second year of laboratory science, and an introductory computer programming course are strongly recommended. Prospective engineering students are encouraged to prepare themselves broadly by taking as many additional courses as possible in high school mathematics, English, science, social studies, and humanities. Studies in foreign languages and the practical arts are also valuable.

Students with entrance deficiencies may be admitted. However, such deficiencies must be removed before the beginning of the sophomore year. Students who present a transcript of previous successful studies at another approved college or university may be admitted with advanced standing.

Admission to engineering studies is normally made only in September. However, students may be admitted in January or March provided that an acceptable program can be scheduled.

Affiliation Program. North American Seventh-day Adventist colleges and universities are affiliated with Walla Walla University under a program that allows students to complete the first one or two years of engineering instruction at any participating institution and then complete degree requirements at Walla Walla University. Each affiliated campus has an engineering coordinator appointed to provide the necessary guidance to insure a smooth transition from the affiliated campus to Walla Walla University. Details of this program can be obtained from the Dean of the School of Engineering.

ENGINEERING (Bachelor of Science in Engineering)

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 their current scholastic record will automatically have their 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 engineering core requirements, the engineering mathematics and science requirements, and one engineering concentration. Upper-division engineering courses must be taken in residence unless approved by the School of Engineering. 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.

Because of the unique nature of the professional curriculum of the engineering degree, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics courses taken to meet any requirements for a BSE degree are considered cognates and therefore can be simultaneously counted toward major or minor requirements in other areas.

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 University. However, there are important differences that must be observed. Forty-four credits must be distributed as follows:

Writing: (8-11 credits)

Speech: (3-4 credits)

The physical education requirements can be met by choosing 100-level activity courses (PEAC 107-195)

(Six credits must be upper-division. Six credits must be RELB courses. See Religion General Studies section of this bulletin.)

(One course, 3-4 credits, must be upper-division)

HUMANITIES (4-11)

Art:

Communications:

Literature:

Music:

Philosophy:

SOCIAL SCIENCES (4-11)

Behavioral Science:

Business and Economics:

Environmental Studies:

History and Political Science:

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.

ENGINEERING MATH AND SCIENCE REQUIREMENTS

Electives, approved by the School of Engineering, must be chosen in consultation with the academic adviser.
