WELCOME Here at MSOE we continually challenge our students to perform and we challenge ourselves to improve. Graduation is the best sign of student success. Three examples of recent major improvements are: • the new freshman-to-master’s degree in civil engineering. MSOE is the only university in the state of Wisconsin to offer this innovative, five-year degree program. • with a multimillion dollar gift from Drs. Robert and Patricia Kern, MSOE recently unveiled four brandnew, cutting edge laboratories to be used by students in the biomolecular engineering program. The new construction includes a Wet Biotechnology Lab, Dry Instrumentation Lab, a BSL-II Cell Culture Facility and Senior Design Lab, as well as a student lounge area and a functional stockroom with access to all four laboratories. • our new University Scholars Program, which encourages independent, collaborative and cooperative learning and is open to electrical engineering and mechanical engineering majors. See page 11 for details.

As we need to change, we also work hard to retain certain aspects, such as: • staying ahead of new technology to ensure that students at MSOE receive the most sophisticated and relevant education available. Our European exchange program now includes several degree programs and will continue to grow. • working in teams with fellow students and alongside expert faculty, which is key to an MSOE education. • highly credentialed faculty who actively integrate their practical knowledge into the student experience, from teaching and mentoring, to undergraduate research. • students as active participants in their education — engaging in small-group efforts on campus or exciting internships and research projects at the many corporations in the Milwaukee area. • the MSOE student experience is more than academics. It includes onand off-campus activities, counseling opportunities for emotional well being, and, of course, the Kern Center, offering a venue for personal fitness and organized athletics. • students connect to the larger Milwaukee community through cultural experiences, clinicals, internships, scholastic and athletic competitions, career practice and volunteer work. During your MSOE career, I challenge you to get the very most out of your university experience and fulfill your potential. Let a variety of interests lead you to stimulating activities both in and out of the classroom.

The MSOE Guarantee This fall, millions of American students will begin their quest for a four-year college degree. However, for many, it will take five or more years to earn the degree. At some institutions, the courses needed to make steady academic progress are often unavailable to students when they need them. MSOE guarantees that will not happen to on-track students. We guarantee for a student starting and staying on track, all classes needed for graduation will be available when they need them! We also will do our best to accommodate all students, be they on track or not. We also recognize there will be times when graduates need to brush up on the subject matter from a course they have successfully completed. This is particularly important to employers who make significant investments when they recruit and hire recent graduates, expecting these new employees to be fully qualified, work-ready and professionally competent. Therefore, MSOE guarantees that graduates may refresh their knowledge by repeating any undergraduate course they took at MSOE, at no cost, within three years of graduation. This will enhance their job performance and may be initiated by the graduate or the employer. Courses retaken under the MSOE guarantee will be taken on an audit basis and no grade will be earned.

History At the turn of the 20th century, American industry began a period of rapid expansion. This accelerated the use of electrical and mechanical power. As a result, new occupations emerged in technical fields. Engineers and technicians with knowledge and skill were badly needed, but few people were available who had a combination of technical training and formal education. Industry’s need spurred the development of progressive programs of technical education. In this context, Oscar Werwath organized the School of Engineering of Milwaukee in 1903. Werwath was a practicing engineer who was a graduate of European technical universities. He was the first to plan an American engineering educational institution based on an applications-oriented curriculum. Milwaukee industries were vitally interested in this kind of training and called on Werwath to provide education and training for their employees. From the beginning, leaders of business and industry cooperated in the university’s development, and a close relationship was established that has continued throughout MSOE’s history. These early supporters realized that their future depended on educational institutions that could prepare men and women to fill the newly created engineering and managerial positions. For more than a century, MSOE has had many memorable moments, creating a rich tradition of educational excellence that has positioned MSOE as a leader among today’s universities. 8


Location MSOE has a small university atmosphere within a vibrant downtown neighborhood. The 15+ acre, user-friendly campus is located in a historic downtown district, just blocks from beautiful Lake Michigan. Milwaukee boasts 60 miles of lakeshore, 15,000 acres of parkland and hundreds of miles of bike trails, a vibrant fine arts and cultural community, major and minor league sports, a brisk live-music scene, and is famous for its more than 50 annual festivals. The city also is a business, technological and industrial center offering internships and part and full-time employment opportunities. MSOE also offers select undergraduate and graduate course work in Wisconsin’s Fox River Valley, and other sites within the state.

Accreditation MSOE is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA, 230 S. LaSalle Street, Suite 7-500, Chicago, IL 60604-1411, (800) 621-7440). Individual degree programs are accredited by appropriate professional accreditation organizations as noted in each corresponding program outline.

The Academic Year The official academic calendar of MSOE is published in the front of this catalog. The academic year is divided into three 11-week quarters, September through May. Courses also are offered during the summer.

Study Abroad Cultural and Educational Opportunities MSOE’s study-abroad programs are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to experience another culture in depth while taking college-level courses toward your degree. MSOE encourages its students to consider the opportunity these programs offer. Certain academic requirements are applicable — see program director for details. Business has become an endeavor without national boundaries. Changes in technology have made it easier to enter foreign markets or seek foreign suppliers. Even if your company is not international, foreign firms are entering your market or merging with your competitors. Leaders in business and engineering today need a global perspective. For the future, we expect many employees will be required to have work experience abroad, some foreign language fluency and be expected to understand the challenges that come with doing business in multiple markets. The MSOE graduate should prepare for this future by considering our study-abroad programs. Germany Electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or international business students may spend their junior year at the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences, in Lübeck, Germany. Founded in 1808, the university is similar to MSOE in that it is an applications-oriented institution. Situated near the Baltic Sea, the beautiful city of Lübeck is a center of commerce, industry and higher education, and offers a variety of recreational opportunities to young people. Much of its Middle Ages appearance is still intact in the older portion of town, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The MSOE program consists of two semesters at Lübeck, with extensive breaks to travel throughout Europe. Key Features • Instruction is in English. • Participation does not delay progress toward graduation since all course work taken is integrated into the curricula of each MSOE program. • Upon graduation, students will receive two degrees, one from MSOE and another from Lübeck University of Applied Sciences. In 2009, the International Exchange Program in Electrical Engineering at MSOE received the Innovative Program Award from the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Heads Association (ECEDHA). Czech Republic Students may study for a semester at one of the oldest and most respected technical universities in the world, Czech Technical University (CTU) in Prague, Czech Republic. Founded in 1707, CTU consists of six schools and seven institutes with some 16,000 students enrolled in engineering courses. Prague’s famed diversity of architectural styles, the distinctive bridges arching the Vltava River and narrow, winding cobbled streets make it one of the world’s most beautiful and charming cities. The city is the social and cultural center of Central Europe with an entrepreneurial energy coursing through its streets. Key Features • Instruction is in English. • Students have access to CTU course work beyond their selected major. In consultation with their academic advisor, students are thus able to select the number of credits taken at CTU that will transfer for academic credit toward their MSOE degree. (Taking classes that will not transfer to a student’s major may delay his or her progress toward a degree.) India MSOE has established relationships with Manipal University in India and other universities and programs around the world. Students wishing to study in Manipal or another off shore institution should discuss the possibility with their academic advisor or Dr. Charles S. Tritt. 12


Engineering or Engineering Technology? What is the difference between engineering and engineering technology? “Graduates of engineering programs apply scientific concepts to develop solutions to real world problems. Their job is more theoretical, involving the design of new products such as a robot that will be used in an auto manufacturing plant. Engineers require more theoretical, scientific and mathematical knowledge. At the same time, some colleges and universities offer two- and four-year engineering technology programs that prepare students for practical design and production work. Graduates of four-year engineering technology programs may get jobs similar to those obtained by graduates with a bachelor’s degree in engineering.” Source: American Society for Engineering Education website, 2002 The undergraduate engineering programs1 at MSOE: • begin with an emphasis on calculus and calculus-based sciences • have engineering courses that build on the calculus/sciences base • integrate design and applications into engineering lecture and laboratory course work • have a stronger emphasis on theory and engineering design • culminate in a major senior design experience The undergraduate engineering technology programs2 at MSOE: • introduce and integrate math and sciences as needed in the curricula • contain technical courses that occur in virtually every quarter of the programs • have an intensive laboratory and applications focus • have a moderate emphasis on theory and the design process • appeal to the student who learns best in an experientially based (hands-on) environment • culminate in a senior project experience Additional advice: Enroll in an engineering program1 if you: • desire or will need to pursue registration as a Professional Engineer (PE) • plan to pursue a career in research and development (R&D) • plan to continue your education at the graduate level in engineering (M.S. and/or Ph.D.) Additional advice: Enroll in an engineering technology program2 if you: • desire to continue your education in a program that extends and expands the educational approach of your existing A.A.S. in engineering technology degree Most importantly, choose the type of program that is consistent with your talents and interests, learning style and career goals. Please visit MSOE by contacting the Enrollment Management Department at (800) 332-6763. You also may contact the program directors of the individual academic programs (listed at www.msoe.edu/campus/prog_dir.shtml). 1 The undergraduate engineering programs at MSOE are normally offered during daytime hours with the exception of the bachelor’s degree in engineering. 2 The engineering technology programs at MSOE are normally offered during evening hours.

Appeal of transfer credit evaluations should be made to the Registrar’s Office. 5) Credit for military service or work experience is determined by conference and/or examination by the academic department chairperson responsible for the material. 6) At least 50 percent of required credits for an undergraduate degree must be taken at MSOE. * The decision for specific course transfer is determined by the chairperson from the department that offers the course. 15


Nonimmigrant International Undergraduate Admission To be considered for admission, students must: 1) Complete an admission application. 2) Demonstrate their English proficiency by providing official TOEFL or the IELTS test results. The minimum test score requirements are: TOEFL Internet-Based – 79 TOEFL Paper – 550 TOEFL Computerized – 213 IELTS – 6.5 3) Submit English language translation of transcripts of all academic work showing a minimum of 12 years of academic study, including detailed grades. 4) Include a copy of a valid passport. 5) Attach the original signature sheet to the application. 6) Provide an official completed certification of financial responsibility showing funds available for the first year of study. 7) Students transferring from a school in the United States must submit an International Student Transfer Form, completed by their international student advisor. All documents submitted to MSOE for consideration of admission become property of MSOE and will not be returned to the applicant at any time. After all these documents have been received, an applicant’s entire file will be reviewed for admission. A student may receive: 1) Full acceptance: A student is accepted directly into his/her desired program of study. Some ESL requirements may need to be satisfied based on the student’s TOEFL/IELTS score. 2) Conditional admission: A student is accepted to his or her desired program of study based on their ability to complete an approved, intensive ESL program. Contact the Admission Office for a list of approved ESL programs. 3) Denied admission: Persons denied admission to MSOE may appeal the decision, either in writing or in person, by contacting the Admission Office. Note: Accepted non-immigrant foreign applicants who do not register for classes in the designated term must return the I-20 form to MSOE .

Intensive English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL ) Program Wisconsin Lutheran College (WLC) professors teach an intensive ESL curriculum on MSOE’s campus. The intensive ESL program is for students with low- to intermediate-English proficiency who have not obtained the English scores required for full admission to MSOE. Students who qualify for conditional admission to MSOE will be given the opportunity to study in the WLC intensive ESL program at MSOE. Please contact the Admission Office for information about applying.

English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) Bridge Program MSOE’s English-as-a-Second-Language Bridge Program provides non-native English speaking international students whose TOEFL scores range between 173-213 (computer-based), 500-550 (paper based) or 61-78 (Internet-based), or whose IELTS scores range between 5.0 and 6.0, an opportunity to improve their English communication skills that are required for study at MSOE. Those international students whose TOEFL score falls within one of these ranges are accepted to MSOE’s ESL Bridge Program. During the first year, these students will be required to take one three-credit reading/writing course and one three-credit listening/speaking course each quarter. In addition to the two ESL classes each quarter, students will enroll in two MSOE courses that will count toward their major. In other words, students will take four classes each quarter; two will be ESL courses and two will be related to the student’s major. Students must pass their ESL courses with a grade of “CD” or better. Failure to do so will result in the student being subject to suspension from the university and will require a written appeal in order to continue (see page 30). After students have satisfactorily completed all six ESL courses and obtained satisfactory grades in all the MSOE courses taken during their first year at MSOE, they will be able to continue studying in their major. At the start of the second year, and for each year thereafter, students can take a full load of major classes. However, please note that with the ESL component, it will take five years to complete the student’s degree program.

Seminars and Workshops Seminars and workshops are offered to provide working adults the opportunity to stay abreast of cutting-edge technologies, current applications and techniques. Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are awarded to attendees. Formats range from two-hour seminars to two-day symposiums and workshops. Participants must complete a registration form and satisfy any prerequisite requirements. Certificates Certificate-level training is conducted to provide the best means to transfer knowledge. Participants are tested upon completion of the certificate program to demonstrate an understanding of the material. Some certificates are eligible for academic credit. Certifications Certifications go beyond transferring knowledge. Participants are required to pass the required certification tests and must demonstrate their ability to use the knowledge gained, thus displaying a mastery of the knowledge and skills they have learned. Participants are evaluated on their ability to successfully demonstrate the use of their knowledge.

A complete list of non-credit certificates and certifications can be found at www.msoe.edu/wp/cert/

Academic Credit for Certificates and Certifications Current MSOE students may be eligible to earn academic credit for successful completion of a certificate or certification. A current student is defined as one who has been admitted to an academic program, is in good academic standing and is currently pursuing a degree. To qualify for academic credit: 1) The student should check with his/her academic advisor to make sure the certificate or certification satisfies a credit requirement for their academic program. 2) Upon completion of the certificate or certification, the student should provide his/her academic advisor with a copy of his/her completion record, which includes attendance information and test results. The record may be obtained from the Center for Working Professionals and Graduate Studies, located in the Cudahy Student Center, CC-337. 3) The academic advisor should verify that student’s information on the student’s electronic transcript and should notify the Registrar’s Office either by e-mail or in writing that the student has satisfied the course requirements. 4) The registrar will assign the credit to the student and will file the documentation, provided by the advisor, in the student’s file. A letter grade will not be assigned to MSOE courses awarded for BEC training. A student’s academic record will include a designation of equivalent credit bearing course(s) and the notation of TR. Business Excellence Consortium (BEC) With approximately 200 member companies, the BEC is MSOE’s center for business solutions. BEC consultants work with organizations to guide them towards world-class performance. This can involve helping companies and their executive teams with strategic planning, business and continuous improvement assessments, program implementation, and coaching. The BEC provides networking opportunities for members to share best practices. Customized On-Site Training As part of its services, the BEC provides customized training programs for organizations that can include non-credit certificate- and certification-level programs. This enables training programs to take advantage of practical applications within the organization to apply the theory involved with the training. It is possible to arrange for MSOE academic courses to be taught on-site at a company’s facility.

Academic Regulations, Policies and Fees Registrar’s Office: Student Life and Campus Center, CC-365 Phone: (414) 277-7215 Fax: (414) 277-6914 The regulations and policies of MSOE include only those that are necessary to the proper organization and operation of the university. MSOE reserves the right to change the rules governing admission, tuition and the granting of degrees, or any other regulation affecting its students. Such changes shall take effect whenever the administration deems it necessary. MSOE also reserves the right to exclude, at any time, students whose conduct or standing is regarded as undesirable.

Policy on Student Integrity As an institution of higher learning, MSOE is committed above all to the educational development of its students as responsible and principled human beings. As such, MSOE is accountable to all whom it serves and by whom it is scrutinized. The university has a priority interest in promoting personal integrity and in ensuring the authenticity of its graduates’ credentials. The university is similarly mindful that the professions, business and industry are concerned with ethical behavior no less than the professional practice of their members and employees. Therefore, MSOE students—preparing for professional careers and leadership roles that are founded on responsibility and trust— must observe and be guided by the highest standards of personal integrity both in and out of the classroom. The expectations of the university with respect to academic and classroom integrity are reflected in, but not limited to, the following guidelines: 1) Each student must recognize that even a poorly developed piece of work that represents his or her best efforts is far more worthwhile than the most outstanding piece of work taken from someone else. 2) Assignments prepared outside of class must include appropriate documentation of all borrowed ideas and expressions. The absence of such documentation constitutes “plagiarism,” which is the knowing or negligent use of the ideas, expressions or work of another with intent to pass such materials off as one’s own. It is an act of plagiarism if a student purchases a paper or submits a paper, computer program, or drawing claiming it to be his/hers when he/she did not write it. 3) Each student should consistently prepare for examinations so as to reduce temptation toward dishonesty. 4) A student may not share examination answers with others for the purpose of cheating, nor should he or she, intentionally or through carelessness, give them an opportunity to obtain the same. 5) Academic dishonesty or cheating includes the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for academic work through the use of any dishonest, deceptive, or fraudulent means. Cheating at MSOE includes but is not limited to: • Copying, in part or in whole, from another’s test or homework assignments, worksheets, lab reports, essays, summaries, quizzes, etc. • Copying examinations and quizzes, in whole or in part, unless approved by the instructor. 21


• Submitting work previously graded in another course unless this has been approved by the course instructor or by departmental policy. • Submitting work simultaneously presented in two courses, unless this has been approved by both course instructors or by the department policies of both departments. • Communicating electronically (unless approved by the instructor) during examinations with the intent to seek or provide answers. • Attempting to present as the student’s own work, materials or papers purchased or downloaded from the Internet. • Any other act committed that defrauds or misrepresents, including aiding or abetting in any of the actions defined above. • Claiming credit for a group project or paper when the individual student made little or no contribution to the group’s product. • Accessing reference documents during a computerized exam or quiz unless approved by the course instructor. 6) A student of integrity will not support, encourage or protect others who are involved in academic dishonesty in any way, and will furthermore attempt to dissuade another student from engaging in dishonest acts. Consequence A student who in any ways acts dishonestly in class assignments or examinations or who submits a plagiarized or unoriginal work to an instructor shall be subject to sanctions up to and including an “F” grade for the assignment, examination and/or the course at the discretion of the instructor. The numerical value of the “F” will be assigned by the instructor. If the instructor assigns an “F” for the course, the student will not be allowed to drop the course. If the instructor assigns an “F” for academic dishonesty, the student has the right to appeal following established procedures. Upon recommendation of the instructor or at his or her initiation, the chief academic officer may decide that repeated or extremely serious acts of dishonesty may be grounds for more severe disciplinary action up to and including expulsion. Actions or behaviors that are connected with instances of academic dishonesty, and which—in and of themselves—violate the MSOE Student Conduct Code, may subject a student to further sanctions provided by the Code, above and beyond any academic sanctions imposed. See the Whole Student Life Handbook for the Student Conduct Code.

Academic Dishonesty Procedure and Appeals Process The student will be notified by the faculty member either within three academic working days of the faculty member’s awareness of the problem or at the next class session attended by the student. The faculty member will notify the student using the form designed for notification. A copy of this notice will be sent to the department chairperson and the chief academic officer. The chief academic officer will retain all such reports in a permanent file. The procedure outlined in steps 1-7 will be used if a student wishes to appeal a faculty member’s judgment that academic dishonesty has occurred. If a student wishes to appeal the penalty, such an appeal must be in writing and must follow the normal grievance procedure outlined under “Grievance Process.”

22

1) The student will have three academic working days after delivery of the written notification to initiate an appeal to the chairperson of the department in which the faculty member serves. The student will be deemed to have waived his/her right to appeal unless he/she files the appeal with the department chairperson


within these three academic working days. The statement of appeal must specify each denial of the faculty member’s decision and the substance of the contentions upon which the student intends to rely in his/her appeal. Filing notices of appeal in accordance with these provisions shall not suspend the operations of the sanction previously declared in the case by the faculty member. The student will remain in class during the entire appeal process. 2) The department chairperson will have three academic working days in which to review the appeal. The sole purpose of the department chairperson’s review is to determine if sufficient evidence exists that the student was cheating. The chairperson must inform the student and faculty member of his/her judgment within those three academic working days. 3) The student or faculty member may further appeal to the chief academic officer within three academic working days. 4) The chief academic officer shall convene an academic review board to hear the student’s appeal within a reasonable time (if possible, within three academic working days of the appeal). The academic review board shall be made up of two department chairpersons selected by the chief academic officer, and one faculty member selected by the chief academic officer and agreed upon by the person initiating the appeal. The chief academic officer will be a nonvoting chairperson. The faculty member assigning the penalty and his/her department chairperson may not be on the board. 5) The sole purpose of the academic review board is to determine if sufficient evidence exists that the student was cheating. The academic review board shall render its decision after all sufficient evidence has been presented, but in a time period not to exceed three academic working days from the commencement of its proceedings. The decision of the academic review board in appeal cases is final and cannot be further appealed under procedures established herein. 6) All appeals established by this procedure must be in writing. 7) The student may bring a representative to any meeting established under this procedure. The faculty member may also have representation at any meeting.

Grievance Process If a student has a complaint of unfair treatment in the academic area, he/she should first consult the instructor in the course. If no mutually satisfactory solution is achieved, the chairperson of the department in which the course is being offered should be contacted next. A final appeal may be directed to the chief academic officer. MSOE’s director of human resources also may be consulted, in addition to the above officers, on matters pertaining to alleged unfair treatment because of race, gender, national origin, religion, disability or sexual orientation.

Institutional Review Board (research with human subjects) The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is an administrative body established to protect the rights and well being of human participants recruited to participate in research activities. MSOE complies with requirements set forth in Title 45, Part 46 of the code of Federal Regulations (45 CFR 46), known as the “Common Rule,” regardless of the source of project funding. 23


All students, staff and faculty at MSOE planning on conducting research involving human participants must submit an IRB protocol application for review and approval by the MSOE IRB. Review and approval must be completed before human participants are recruited and research begins. The mission of the IRB is to ensure the adequacy of the research plan, to minimize risks and to maximize the benefits for human subjects’ who participate in research. If the investigator is a student, the research must be performed under the supervision of an MSOE faculty or staff member who by his or her signature assumes responsibility for the conduct of that research with respect to the proper safeguards of the rights of participants. Research is defined (45 CFR 46.102(d)) as “a systematic investigation, including methodology, development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge.” This definition includes formal investigations from which the results will be publicly disseminated, pilot projects, exploratory research, educational research and research undertaken by students for purposes of classroom work, independent study, senior design and change projects, surveys, master degree theses and includes research with human subjects conducted for non-academic purposes. Human participant is defined (45 CFR 46.102(f)) as “a living individual about whom an investigator conducting research obtains data through intervention or interaction with the individual or the collection of identifiable private information.” Intervention includes both physical procedures by which data is gathered (for example, blood pressure readings, exercising, equipment design, etc.) and manipulations of the subject or the subject's environment (heat, light, temperature, etc.) Interaction includes communication or interpersonal contact between the investigator and subject (interviews, focus groups, surveys, etc). Private information includes information (academic, financial, medical records, etc.) about behavior that occurs in a context in which the subject can reasonably expect that no recording is taking place or information the subject has provided for a specific purpose can reasonably expect will not be made public. Contact the IRB Administrator at (414) 277-2835 for an IRB protocol application or for more information or assistance in writing the protocol.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) MSOE is in compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the purpose of which is to let the student know what educational records are kept by the university, to give the student the right to inspect such records and to ask for correction if necessary, and to control the release of such information to those who are not involved in the educational process. Under the Privacy Act, certain directory information can be made available to anyone who requests it unless the student specifically asks, in writing, that this not be done. The following is information that MSOE considers to be directory information: name, address, telephone number, email address, program, grade level, dates of attendance, enrollment status (full-time, part-time, withdrawn, not enrolled), degrees and honors received, participation in officially recognized sports and activities, previously attended institutions, class schedule, photographic, video, or electronic images, and program and promotion materials for university-related activities such as athletics, extra-curricular activities and academic competitions.

Academic

Advising

All new students must meet with their assigned advisor during their first term to ensure that they understand the curriculum and future scheduling procedures. All new students are provided with a program outline. The program outline specifically cites requirements for all required courses and the exact credit breakdown related to electives. In subsequent quarters, the advisors work with the students to ensure that students make satisfactory progress without violating prerequisites.

Student Responsibility Students at MSOE are aided in their academic pursuits by various individuals and groups including faculty, academic advisors, program directors and the Registrar’s Office staff. However, each student is ultimately responsible for knowing and complying with MSOE’s academic policies, procedures and deadlines. Each student is responsible for meeting all course, credit and grade point average requirements for graduation with his or her chosen degree.

Prerequisite Policy The student is responsible for ensuring that he or she has successfully completed all prerequisites before taking a course. If any prerequisites have not been successfully completed by the start of the course, the student is required to drop the course. Students in violation of this prerequisite policy are subject to removal from the course. The student will be allowed to continue in the course only if a prerequisite waiver is approved by the appropriate academic department chairperson. Prerequisites are listed in the course description section of this catalog.

Credit Hour Definition MSOE defines an academic credit hour as a minimum of one hour spent in class each week for lecture-based courses, or as a minimum of two hours spent each week in the laboratory or clinical component of a course. For each academic credit hour, MSOE further expects that a typical undergraduate student will spend two hours outside of class preparing for and studying for the class. Time spent outside of class for a typical graduate student is expected to exceed two hours. For courses featuring alternative delivery methods (e.g. blended, Internet), parity tables are maintained that document how expected class contact time is accounted for in the alternative method. Parity tables are developed by and available from the academic department or school offering the course.

25


Enrollment Status Requirement A student’s quarterly enrollment status is established at the close of business on Friday of the first week of the quarter. There are some circumstances where a student must maintain full-time status throughout the term (for example, athletic eligibility, international student visa status, insurance verification). Students registered for less than 12 credits will have their veteran’s benefits and financial aid award reduced. A student’s yearly enrollment status will be determined at the end of each academic year (Fall, Winter and Spring quarters) to ensure that satisfactory progress has been made. The following matrix is used to determine enrollment status and satisfactory progress: Enrollment Status Full-time Three-quarter time Half-time Other

Quarterly Status: Credits per Quarter (attempted) 12+ 9-11 6-8 1-5

Yearly Status: Completed Credits per Year (required) 36 27 18 3

Years to Complete: Bachelor’s Degree (maximum) 6 9 12 12

Progress will be monitored in yearly increments. When a student’s enrollment status does not remain the same for all quarters during the year (i.e., when it is both part-time and full-time) an average will be used to determine if satisfactory progress has been made. A student who has not made satisfactory progress will be subject to termination from MSOE. Financial aid recipients must meet all criteria outlined in the “Enrollment Status Requirement” and “Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for Financial Aid Recipients” sections of this catalog to remain eligible for financial aid. Undergraduate students are classified by the number of credits earned as follows: Freshman 0-39 Sophomore 40-87 Junior 88-135 Senior 136 credits or more

Re-admission Policy for Undergraduate Students Students pursuing an undergraduate degree, who have been admitted to an academic program but have not completed a course for two consecutive years or longer but wish to continue their education, must apply to be re-admitted to MSOE. The student must submit: • A completed admission application to the admission office (the fee will be waived). • A transcript of all course work completed since the last time he/she applied. • A personal statement clearly outlining their educational objectives. Students may be granted: • Full acceptance: If the student’s cumulative and major GPA are equal to or greater than 2.00 and the student is in good academic standing as defined by the Undergraduate Academic Catalog (page 29) the student will be re-admitted to full acceptance to MSOE. • Other: If the student’s cumulative and/or major GPA are less than 2.00 and/or the student is not in good academic standing as defined in the Undergraduate Academic Catalog (page 29) the student will not be granted re-admission. The student must follow the procedures outlined in the Undergraduate Academic Catalog “Suspension Appeal Procedure” (page 30) to pursue re-admission to the university. 26


All newly re-admitted students must meet with an academic advisor prior to registering for classes and are responsible for completing the program of study that is current at the time of their re-admittance. The program director, in conjunction with the department chairperson, may reevaluate the student’s transcript to determine which, if any, courses previously taken may be applied to the current program of study.

Attendance Policy MSOE expects all students to attend regularly and promptly all lectures, laboratories and other sessions of courses for which they are registered. It is the student’s responsibility to add and drop classes from his or her academic schedule. Faculty have the option of developing a policy concerning grade reduction or dropping students for excessive absence from class. Any policy of this nature must be announced to the students during the first week of class and must be made available in writing upon request. A student dropped under such a policy must obtain written permission from the instructor to re-enter the class. The instructor will inform the Registrar’s Office if any student is readmitted to class. Laboratory and examination attendance is mandatory. In the event of an excused absence, arrangements shall be made with the instructor in advance for makeup. Excused absences for field trips or other university-sponsored activities require one week advanced written notice with the approval of the chief academic officer.

Adding/Dropping Courses and Changing Sections If a change of schedule is necessary, this may be done in the Registrar’s Office before 4:30 p.m. on Friday of the first week of classes. Students may neither add a course nor change sections after 4:30 p.m. on Friday of the first week. This policy must also be followed by students who want to change from credit to audit status or from audit to credit status. A student may drop a course and receive a grade of “W” after the first week and before 6 p.m. on Monday of the eighth week of classes. Drop forms are available in the Registrar’s Office. These must be completed, properly signed and received by the Registrar’s Office before the deadline for dropping courses. All students are responsible for their academic schedule. Students should not rely on instructors to drop them for non-attendance.

Withdrawal from All Classes Students who wish to drop all classes must complete a withdrawal form which is available in the Registrar’s Office. This must be done before 4:30 p.m. Friday of the 10th week of classes. Tuition refunds will be based on the date of official withdrawal, NOT on the date of last class attendance. The official withdrawal date is the date that the completed form is received by the Registrar’s Office. Should a student fail to meet the withdrawal deadline, he/she will be responsible for tuition for all scheduled classes and will receive final grades in all of them.

27


If a student plans to complete the current quarter but not return in a future quarter, he/she should fill out a “Notification of Intent Not to Return” form which is available in the Registrar’s Office.

Grading System (Undergraduate) Students receive letter grades in each course for which they register. Grades and their grade point equivalents are awarded on the following scale: Letter Grade A AB B BC C CD D F P S U W * NR AU AX

Grade Points (100 - 93) 4.00 (92 - 89) 3.50 (88 - 85) 3.00 (84 - 81) 2.50 (80 - 77) 2.00 (76 - 74) 1.50 (73 - 70) 1.00 (below 70) 0.00 Pass Satisfactory Unsatisfactory Withdraw from class Incomplete - grade with an asterisk (*) No grade reported Audit Audit dropped

Grade point averages (GPAs) are computed by dividing the number of grade points earned by the number of credit hours attempted. For undergraduate students, a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher is required for graduation.

Incomplete Grades A letter grade followed by an asterisk is a temporary grade indicating incomplete work. It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the instructor to have the work completed; these arrangements must be initiated within the first two weeks of the following quarter (not including the Summer Quarter). The student must submit the required work to complete the course within the time deadline set by the instructor, but this may not be later than the end of the same quarter. If the student has not completed all work for the course after this period of time, the asterisk will be dropped and the letter grade preceding the asterisk will become the permanent grade. The letter grade preceding the asterisk is calculated into the student’s GPA. The letter preceding the asterisk represents the grade the student has earned to date. An incomplete grade is given at the discretion of the instructor. Incomplete grades are reserved for situations in which a student has done satisfactory work in a course until near the end of the term but because of extenuating circumstances, the course could not be completed.

Not Reported (NR) Grade For specific project-oriented courses (senior design for example), student grade reports may reflect a grade designation “NR” each quarter until final course requirements are satisfied, at which time all previously reported “NR” grades will be converted to final course grades. Students receiving those grades should be aware that, unlike an incomplete grade, the “NR” grade is not computed in any quarter’s GPA until a replacement grade is recorded. 28


Major Grade Point Average The major GPA is designed to show a student’s proficiency in his/her specific degree program. Major GPA is calculated after nine credits have been earned in applicable courses. A major GPA of 2.00 or higher is required for graduation. Nursing students only: A grade of “C” or better is required in all NU courses. See “School of Nursing” section for additional policies. Courses used in calculating the major GPA in each program are as follows: Architectural Engineering: AE-200, AE -2011, AE-2012, AE-3011, AE-3021, AE-2121, AE-213, AE-3112, AE-3121, AE-3621, AE-4311, AE-4712, AE-4721, EE-2503, AE-3612, AE-4731, and AE-4733, in addition to AE technical specialty classes which are Building Structural Specialty (BSS): AE-3023, AE-303, AE-304, AE-401, and AE-407 Building Environmental Specialty (BES): AE-3131, AE-3132, AE-3141, AE-411, and AE-412 Building Electrical Power Specialty (BEPS): AE-3631, AE-3641, AE-3651, AE-463, and AE-466 For students electing to pursue a dual technical specialty, both sets of technical specialty courses would count in the major GPA. For BSS students doing early entry to the MSST program or for dual-degree AE/MSST students, AE-720, AE-740, and AE-750 would replace AE-401 and AE-407 in the major GPA. Biomedical Engineering: all BE, EE and ME courses and all technical electives BioMolecular Engineering: all EB courses Business Management: all required MS courses; all concentration electives Civil Engineering: all AE, CM and CVE courses at the 100-500 levels Computer Engineering: all required CE, CS, EE and SE courses; all program electives Construction Management: all CM-300 and 400 level classes (or CM 3000 and 4000 level classes for four digit course designations); and AE-1231, AE-2212, AE-4121, AE-4412, MS-356, and MS-342 Electrical Engineering: all EE courses, CS-2510 and GE-300 Electrical Engineering Technology: all ET courses Engineering: all EE, GE, IE, ME required courses, and all technical electives Industrial Engineering: all IE courses International Business: all required MS courses at the 300 and 400 level; all concentration electives Management Information Systems: all required MS courses at the 300 and 400 level; all concentration electives Mechanical Engineering: all ME courses Mechanical Engineering Technology: all required ET, FP and MT courses at the 300 and 400 level; all technical electives Nursing: all required NU courses Software Engineering: all required CE, CS, EE and SE courses; all program electives Technical Communication (B.A. and B.S. degrees): all required EN and TC courses excluding EN-131, EN-132 and EN-241

29


Midterm Progress Reports Students desiring a midterm progress report may receive one from each instructor during the sixth week of the quarter. Forms for requesting this service are available in the Registrar’s Office. It is the responsibility of the student to submit requests to the instructor(s) during the fifth week of the term. The instructor(s) will return the completed form to the student in the sixth week of the term. No official record of the midterm grade is kept.

Academic Standing An undergraduate student is in good academic standing when all of the following are equal to or greater than 2.00: 1) the term grade point average, 2) the cumulative grade point average and 3) the cumulative major grade point average. (Cumulative major GPA for the purposes of academic standing is always calculated after completion of 15 major credits.) When the cumulative, term or cumulative major grade point average falls below 2.00, a student is placed on probation. Normally, a student is given one term to raise the cumulative or cumulative major average to 2.00 or above. Any student on probation whose quarter grade point average for the following term is below a 2.00 will need to appeal to the Student Advancement Committee to continue. The committee may recommend continued probation, suspension or permanent dismissal from MSOE. Typically, suspension is for a period of two academic terms. Students who have been suspended must petition the Student Advancement Committee for lifting of the suspension during the two term suspension or for readmittance following the two term suspension. A student who is placed on probation is limited to four courses per quarter. All full- and part-time undergraduate and graduate students are eligible for active membership in student organizations. A student with less than a 2.00 cumulative GPA may not have officer-level responsibilities in any student organization or extracurricular activity, serve as a student representative on any institutional committee or represent the university as a member of any MSOE athletic team. It is the student’s responsibility to inform the organization of ineligibility and the organization’s responsibility to inform the Student Activities staff. In addition, academic eligibility will be reviewed periodically by the Student Activities staff for student organizations and is reviewed quarterly by the Registrar’s Office and the Athletic Department for the intercollegiate athletics.

Suspension Appeal Procedure - Student Advancement Committee Purpose The purpose of the Student Advancement Committee is to allow for appeals on the part of those students who are suspended for academic reasons. Procedure Students submit petitions in writing to the Registrar’s Office, addressed to the Student Advancement Committee. If, in the judgment of the committee members, the student is in a position to continue with a good probability of academic success, permission is granted to continue with a probationary status. The student’s academic progress will then be closely monitored on a term-to-term basis. If a student’s written appeal is denied, the student has the option of one personal appeal to the committee during his or her academic career at MSOE. 30


Dean’s List and Honors List MSOE encourages excellence in academic achievement and, as a result, publishes the Dean’s List and Honors List each quarter. Students taking undergraduate courses who have earned at least 30 credits in residence at MSOE and have a cumulative GPA of 3.20 or higher are on the Dean’s List. Students on that list who have maintained a 3.70 or higher receive “high honors.” Students with a term GPA of 3.20 or higher, who are not on the Dean’s List, are on the Honors List.

Repeating and Grade Replacing Courses Anytime an undergraduate student repeats a class in which he or she initially earned a penalty grade, it is processed as a grade replacement. Penalty grades are defined as any final grade of CD, D or F. Grade-replaced grades will show on the transcript, but will not be averaged into the student’s grade point average. Courses in which a non-penalty grade was earned can be repeated, but they cannot be grade replaced. Courses must be retaken at MSOE to be eligible for grade replacement. Nursing students only: Any nursing student who earns a grade of “X,” “W,” “F” or “D” in any NU course, may repeat that course one time. A maximum of two NU courses may be repeated. Students who fail to achieve a grade of “C “ after repeating a course will be academically dismissed from the School of Nursing.

Grade Replacement Policy for Study-abroad Programs MSOE/Lübeck University of Applied Sciences study-abroad program participants only: Courses taken at MSOE cannot be used to grade replace any junior year Lübeck grades. All participating students are required to follow Lübeck policies regarding retaking/passing of exams and tests for Lübeck courses. All resulting Lübeck grades will be converted into MSOE grades. For all Lübeck courses MSOE students are always allowed to retake the equivalent MSOE course, if offered, but only without grade replacement.

Auditing Courses An audit is intended to provide students with an opportunity to review subject matter they have previously studied or to participate in courses to obtain information of interest to them. Since an audit does not carry any credits, auditing of noncredit courses such as seminars and short courses is not permitted. A student wanting to audit a course must have the proper prerequisites for the course. Permission to audit a course must be granted through the student’s program director or advisor. Students may not enroll for subsequent courses for credit based upon audited prerequisite subjects. Auditors may not use audited courses as a means for obtaining credit for any course or to satisfy any degree requirement. Students may change from audit to credit status or credit to audit status only until Friday of the first week of classes; fees will be adjusted accordingly. The cost to audit a course is three-fourths the regular tuition of the course for students registering for 0 to 11 credits. There is no charge for students registering for 12 to 19 credits.

Directed Study In the unusual event that an undergraduate student is unable to schedule a specific course required for graduation, the student may be eligible to register for a directed study. Directed Study provides one-on-one instruction with an MSOE faculty member. Generally, permission for such registration is granted only if the course is required in the student’s program and if the student is within 16 credits of graduation. Some courses due to their nature may not be eligible for directed study.

31


Rare exceptions can be made for students whose lack of pre-requisites would significantly delay them in their program of study. Appropriate forms are available, and permission must be obtained from the chairperson of the department under which the course is taught.

Independent Study An independent study gives a student the opportunity to pursue a specialized topic not covered in regularly scheduled course work. The student works closely with a faculty advisor on a project. The student must complete the appropriate Independent Study Form, available from the program director, and present it at the time of registration for the course.

Policy on Study Abroad Students wishing to engage in study abroad under programs arranged by MSOE are subject to the following: 1) Student applicants may not be on probation at the time of application and at the end of the quarter prior to scheduled departure. • Departments should have authority to set application deadlines and any appeals are to be decided by department chairs. 2) Student applicants must obtain a letter from a licensed health physician or nurse practitioner which indicates the student is fit for study abroad. 3) Student applicants must sign a statement of understanding that, during their period of study abroad, they remain bound by the policies and regulations set forth in the MSOE Student Conduct Code, as contained in the Whole Student Life Handbook, found on the Campus Intranet at http://inside.msoe.edu/files/handbook.pdf. 4) Student applicants must meet program-specific curriculum requirements (e.g. prerequisite courses) to participate in the planned activities abroad. 5) Academic departments have authority to set program-specific minimum academic requirements (e.g., meet minimum cum GPA or major GPA levels, complete an interview process).

Credit by Examination Credit by Examination is available upon recommendation of the appropriate department chairperson. The student must have completed approximately 80 percent of the course material in a classroom setting, or 60 percent of the course material plus have appropriate work experience in the same content area. Exams are not given on the basis of work experience alone. An exam can be taken only once. Students must take the exam within one year of initial enrollment at MSOE. Credits earned by exam are not considered credits earned in residence at MSOE. Typically, students who meet the following criteria are not eligible for Credit by Examination unless the student has taken additional course work or has had additional work experience that relates to the course content: • The student has dropped or failed the class at MSOE. • The student has earned a non-transferable grade less than a “C” in an equivalent course at another university. • The student earned a score less than what MSOE accepts on an Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate exam. 32


Procedures for requesting advanced credit: 1) The student must contact the department chairperson in the area in which he or she would like to take an examination to determine if the student has sufficient background to be eligible for an exam of this nature. If possible, the student should provide any available documentation of course work completed in this content area to the chairperson at this time (transcripts, course description, syllabi, etc). 2) The student fills out a Credit by Examination form (available from the Registrar’s Office) and the department chairperson signs the form indicating approval. 3) The department chairperson is responsible for selecting the instructor who will administer the exam. 4) The instructor should review the course outline and the general content of the examination with the student in advance of the examination date. 5) The non-refundable exam fee must be paid to the Student Accounts Office prior to taking the examination. The Student Accounts Office will then sign the appropriate section of the form indicating that the fee has been paid. 6) Once the exam is completed, the instructor will complete the form with the appropriate grade and submit it to the department chairperson within seven days after student takes the exam. The final grade must be 77 or above for credit to be awarded. 7) The department chairperson will complete the form and forward it to the registrar for processing. Students may also participate in the Advanced Placement Program (AP) or College Level Examination Program (CLEP) sponsored by the College Board or the International Baccalaureate Program (IB). Incoming students should call the Enrollment Management Department to see which courses would qualify for advanced placement at MSOE and what scores are required to receive credit.

Final Exam Policy A final examination is required in every credit course except in courses designated by the various departments, and that exam will be administered in the two-hour block designated. The type of examination should be in agreement with that specified in the departmental course outline and announced to the class near the beginning of the quarter. Undergraduate final examinations may not count for more than 40 percent of the final grade. The final examination period will be Monday-Friday of the eleventh week during the Fall, Winter and Spring Quarters. Day class exams will be held between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Night class exams will be held on a day the class usually meets between 5:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. at a time somewhat similar to the time the class usually meets. In the case of graduate courses that meet one evening per week, the final exam will be held on the same day as the class meets and will start at the same time as the class starts. Exams for classes meeting only on Saturday will be held on Saturday of the eleventh week. Exams for summer classes will be scheduled by the teacher. If an unavoidable conflict exists, the student will contact all teachers for resolution of the conflict. Department chairs will ultimately resolve conflicts. If a student has more than two final examinations scheduled on one day, the student is encouraged to petition individual teachers to see if one exam could be rescheduled. All written, inclass final examinations should follow the examination schedule available on the Registrar’s Office website. Faculty needing to schedule examinations, other than 33


make-up examinations, at other than the regularly designated times, should obtain the written approval of the department chairperson. No classes will be held during the exam week. Voluntary (optional) class review sessions may be held. If local or national emergencies prevent the university from being open on one or more days of exam week, the exams on those days will be cancelled. Individual faculty members may give an exam if a student requests it. The exam would be given at a time arranged by the faculty member but within the next quarter, and a change of grade submitted.

Graduation Requirements Authority for the granting of degrees by MSOE and making of exceptions to standard policies lies with the chief academic officer and the Executive Educational Council. In all cases where ABET-accredited programs or other accreditations are in effect, care will be taken to ensure that all graduates meet or exceed the minimum accreditation criteria. Bachelor’s Degree Candidates Satisfactory completion of all courses prescribed in the curriculum for the particular area of study in which the degree will be granted is required. The official graduation date will be the end of the quarter in which all graduation requirements have been met. A minimum of one half of all required credits must be completed in residence at MSOE. MSOE Advanced Credit Examinations, Advanced Placement (AP) Credit, International Baccalaureate (IB) Credit, and College Level Examination (CLEP) Credit are not considered credit completed in residence at MSOE. Students enrolled in bachelor’s degree completion programs (2+2 programs) must complete the total number of credits required in the junior and senior year in residence at MSOE. For undergraduate students, a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher and a major GPA of 2.00 or higher are required for graduation. Undergraduate students who graduate with a cumulative GPA of between 3.20 and 3.69 will graduate with “Honors.” Students who graduate with a cumulative GPA of 3.70 or above will graduate with “High Honors.” “Honors” and “High Honors” will be notated on the student’s diploma but not on his/her transcript. Attendance and participation in formal university Commencement is required of all bachelor’s and master’s degree candidates as a prior condition for receipt of the official diploma. Minors A student who completes a bachelor’s degree at MSOE may also earn a minor in one or more areas by satisfactory completion of all the requirements stipulated for each minor. All requirements for the minor must be met by the time the student graduates with his/her bachelor’s degree. A minimum grade point average of 2.00 is required for the course work that is counted toward the minor. MSOE offers minors in the areas of chemistry, German studies, business management, marketing and entrepreneurship, mathematics, physics and technical communication. Undergraduate Double-major Candidates To receive a second bachelor’s degree from MSOE, a student must complete a minimum of 40 credits that are unique to the second degree. These credits must be over and above those that satisfied requirements for the first degree. Science and mathematics courses taken to fulfill basic second degree requirements will not count toward these 40 required credits. 34


Graduation Procedures ATTENDANCE AND PARTICIPATION IN A FORMAL UNIVERSITY COMMENCEMENT IS REQUIRED OF ALL BACHELOR’S AND MASTER’S DEGREE CANDIDATES AS A PRIOR CONDITION FOR RECEIPT OF THE OFFICIAL DIPLOMA. Students must apply for graduation in the Registrar’s Office by the dates posted on the Registrar’s Office website. For those who submit a graduation application on time, the Registrar’s Office will do a graduation credit check before the end of the first week of the term in which the student plans to graduate and notify the student by mail if additional courses are required. Students must complete all degree requirements before they may participate in the Commencement. An exception to this policy will be made for students intending to complete no more than two courses during the summer months; these students may participate in the Spring Commencement. Any other exception to this policy requiring completion of all degree requirements prior to participation in a Commencement must be requested in writing, and approved by the dean of students. Such a request must be based on unusual circumstances that would impose a significant and verifiable hardship on the student. A student completing graduation requirements by the end of a term, but who has not applied for graduation by the application deadline, may be allowed to participate in Commencement, but the receipt of the diploma may be delayed. The deadline for students to apply in the Student Life Office for the Commencement; to have their name listed in the Commencement program; and to receive a supply of invitations, printed cards, etc., is Friday of the seventh week of classes.

Due Dates Charges are due and payable by Monday of the third week of classes. Students who have settled in full all obligations to MSOE will be issued earned certificates, diplomas and transcripts, and will be permitted to register for the subsequent term. A student must have a zero balance to register for the next quarter. If payment is not received by Monday of the third week, a late payment fee may accrue at a rate of 12 percent A.P.R. (one percent per month) until paid. Students whose financial aid has not transferred to their student account as of Monday of the third week because they have not completed their financial aid paperwork, have not yet applied for financial aid or applied for financial aid late, may be charged a late payment fee on the entire outstanding balance. Students that are sponsored by a company, Department of Veterans Affairs (Chapter 31 and 33), DVR or a Foreign Embassy, who have their letter of authorization on file in the Student Accounts Office by the first day of the third week, will not be charged a late payment fee on those charges covered by a company or agency. If a student does not make payments when due, MSOE reserves the right to require full payment of the subsequent quarter before the student may register for that quarter. Agency or Employer Sponsorship of Students To allow flexibility for students sponsored by a company or agency, the following is possible: If the company/agency will allow MSOE to invoice them for the student’s education with no contingencies, a letter of authorization from the company or agency must be on file in the Student Accounts Office or must accompany the registration form. The letter of authorization must state exactly what expenses will be covered; i.e., which classes, costs, fees, books, etc. MSOE must have the letter at the time of the student’s registration each quarter. H.E.L.P. Payment Plan MSOE’s new in-house payment plan, H.E.L.P. (Helping Everyone to Learn and Pay), offers students monthly payment plans for amounts due. Students determine how much of their balance they wish to divide into monthly payments. Any amount not covered by H.E.L.P. will be due when billed. For further information, contact the H.E.L.P. administrator/senior collection specialist at (414) 277-2231. Financial Aid Disbursement All processed financial aid will transfer to your student account during the second week of the term and on a rolling basis from that time forward. Credit Balance Refund Checks If you have more financial aid disburse to your account than charges on your account you will have a credit balance. Credit balance refund checks will be processed after all financial aid has been disbursed to your account and will be mailed to your local address. Parent PLUS loan borrowers may authorize MSOE to issue a check for the remainder of any excess PLUS load funds to either themselves or to their student. This request must be submitted in writing to the Student Accounts Office. Please allow 10 days for credit balance refund checks to be processed.

37


Book Purchase Policy Students are able to charge their book purchases, made at the MSOE Bookstore, to their MSOE student account and will be billed for those charges on their next monthly invoice. In order to do this, students must present their MSOE student ID to the bookstore when purchasing their textbooks. You are able to charge your books to your student account during the two weeks before the term begins through the first Friday of the term (Please note that you must wait at least 24 hours after you have registered before you can charge your books this way). Students can only charge books and supplies to their account; students cannot charge MSOE apparel or souvenirs to their account. Student Invoices All registered students are mailed a paper invoice before the term begins. If you register after the first batch of invoices has been mailed, you will receive a paper invoice in the mail during week three of the term. These invoices are mailed to the legal/home/permanent address you have on record with the Registrar’s Office. If you wish to have it mailed to a different address, you must contact us at payments@msoe.edu or (414) 277-7130. Please remember that you can always view your statement online at my.msoe.edu and you are responsible for all charges regardless of whether or not you receive a paper invoice in the mail. Outside Resources Reporting Requirements If you receive financial aid or financial support from other agencies, you are required by federal regulations to report the amount of support you receive from those agencies to the Financial Aid Office. Examples of such resources include monies received from the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), the Trade Adjustment Act (TAA), private scholarships and employer tuition reimbursement. Dual-degree Program Charges Dual-degree programs offer the ability to complete both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in five years. These students should complete their Free Application for Federal Student Aid as an undergraduate student. Full-time students accepted into the Master of Science in Structural Engineering dual-degree program or the Freshman-to-Master’s Civil Engineering Program are charged full-time undergraduate tuition rates and receive undergraduate financial aid for their fourth year, even though they may be taking graduate courses. (If a student enrolls in more than 19 credits, they will be charged the graduate per credit rate for any credits above 19.) During their fifth year, students enrolled in an approved dual-degree program will be charged the standard per credit charge based on the type and number of credits for which they enroll. They will still receive undergraduate financial aid for their fifth year because they have not yet graduated with a bachelor’s degree. MSOE scholarships and grants are not available to sixth-year students; therefore if a student in an approved dual-degree program must enroll for a sixth year, it is recommended that they graduate with their bachelor’s degree after the fifth year so as to be eligible for graduate-level Stafford loans in their sixth year.

Program Director: Dr. Francis Mahuta Office: CC-60D Phone: (414) 277-7599 Fax: (414) 277-7415 E-mail: mahuta@msoe.edu Civil engineers are responsible for the design, construction and maintenance of the infrastructure necessary to support civilized society. MSOE’s five-year, freshman-to-master’s civil engineering degree program satisfies the new Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge for the 21st Century requirements developed by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). These new requirements call for civil engineers to be proficient in both technical and professional skills, including familiarity with issues of business and public administration, public policy, globalization, leadership and teamwork. Satisfying these requirements will also equip students to meet the proposed new licensing requirements developed by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying, which call for a minimum of a master’s degree or equivalent as a prerequisite for professional engineering licensure.

Civil Engineering

Freshman-to-Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering

MSOE students will be able to specialize in one of the following three civil engineering disciplines: structural engineering, environmental engineering and water resources engineering. In addition, students may also choose to take elective course work from MSOE’s nationally-renowned construction management program. Alternatively, students may choose to use their technical electives to pursue a minor in a field such as mathematics, chemistry or physics.

Some Common Positions

Construction Cost Estimator – An estimator applies knowledge of construction materials and processes and their costs to forecast the funds required to erect a building. Estimators mentally picture the work and interact with other members of the project team to determine probable costs. Estimates are required at various stages of building design – from early conceptual estimates to help the owner determine if the project is affordable, to detailed cost estimates for competitive bids after the project is designed. Construction Scheduler – A scheduler typically works on larger projects, applying knowledge of construction methods and processes to help plan project activity sequences and to efficiently schedule the work, in order to meet required project completion deadlines. Completing a project on time is the single most important factor for its success, and the scheduler ensures that members of the project team have the information they require to make this happen.

Construction Management

Construction Project Manager – The construction project manager (PM) has overall responsibility and authority to direct and coordinate actions that deliver the project to the client on time, under budget, and with required safety and quality. The PM might be associated with the project as soon as the client conceives the project and until the building is turned over to the owner for its intended use. Construction PMs can be likened to entrepreneurs with full accountability for all project activities.

Construction Information Systems Manager – A construction information systems manager links advanced hardware and software technologies with construction project actions and processes to keep their companies viable. To remain competitive, modern construction firms must leverage the productivity and decision-making benefits of information automation. Information systems are indispensable for efficient knowledge management, an essential function for any construction industry company that seeks a sustainable competitive advantage. Mastering the latest technical and construction project management skills, graduates of the five-year dual-degree CMIS option deliver exceptional value to construction industry firms at the technological frontier. Construction Superintendent – The construction superintendent is the contractor’s representative at the construction site. The superintendent directs and coordinates the site activities, which include the building trades. Responsibilities include ensuring that the work progresses according to the schedule and construction documents, material and equipment are delivered to the site on time and the various trade activities are not in conflict with one another. Facilities Manager – One of the many responsibilities of a facilities manager is being the owner’s representative in the building construction process. This responsibility may include formulating the building program’s initial budget, seeking design construction services, monitoring the construction process and overseeing approval of all billings.

75


Field Engineer – A field engineer engages in the design of temporary structures, site planning and layout, cost estimating, planning and scheduling, management, materials procurement, equipment selection, cost control and quality management. Many construction professionals, including those without engineering degrees but with adequate formal technical and managerial education, begin their careers in positions carrying this or a similar title. The popular five-year AE/CM option practically provides knowledge and skills equivalent to those held by graduates of baccalaureate architectural engineering programs who later earn a master’s degree in construction project management. These graduates fully understand the technical and managerial details of both design and construction – a noteworthy capability, since design-build is an expanding construction contracting alternative. Although CM graduates typically seek to be certified professional constructors, the AE degree enables AE/CMs to also earn a Professional Engineer license. This may offer particularly great occupational flexibility for graduates, as well as exceptional value to their employers.

Students entering the program from high school are accepted into the program starting freshman year. In addition to studying a range of business management subjects, the program requires students to participate in a professional internship. Students work at companies such as Apexx Marketing, Assurant Health, Aurora Health, Brady Corp., Direct Supply, Harley-Davidson, GE Healthcare, Johnson Controls, Metavante, Rockwell Automation and Stark Investments, to name a few. MSOE’s Rader School of Business is the difference in business education. Classes are small, which encourages interaction and networking. Professors bring business experience into the classroom, along with a passion for teaching. What is taught in the classroom can be applied immediately to the workplace. An uncompromising approach to quality provides a meaningful education that carries value well beyond graduation. Individuals with an MSOE degree are highly sought by employers around the world. The degree is available to traditional full-time undergraduate students, and flexible plans of study are also available for working professionals. For those with an associate degree, the transfer plan grants junior standing to qualified individuals. Courses in the program can be completed on a part-time or full-time basis. Classes may be taken during the day or evening, with several options for blended, Internet-hybrid study available each academic term.

BSBM+2 students must complete at least NINE concentration elective CREDITS. Concentration electives are chosen in consultation with an advisor. See the prescribed concentration course list for options.

3

BSBM+2 students must complete at least 9 credits of humanities or social science (HU/SS) electives. Combined with previous study, students must demonstrate a balance in the number of HU and SS designated courses completed. The specific number of HU or SS credits will be determined upon admission.

The two-year Model Track for Degree Completion provides for a schedule whereby students can attend classes two nights per week and occasionally on Saturdays. At least one "on-track" course is available via Internet-hybrid (IH) delivery. IH classes meet face-to-face three to four times per quarter, with additional instruction done via the Internet as electronic lectures, interactive discussion forums, and on-line case studies. On-track courses, offered as traditional faceto-face meetings, are offered so three courses can be scheduled by meeting two nights per week, generally Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday. The number of weeks classes meet during the Summer Quarter may vary.

BSBM+2 is a degree completion program and requires an associate degree or 60 semester/90 quarter credits for admission. Previous study must include specific courses in: computer methods, microeconomics, macroeconomics, business law, college mathematics, two courses in natural sciences (one with lab), English composition, technical composition, speech and two courses in humanistic studies. Additional time for completion will be added to the BSBM if any of these requirements are missing.

2

BSBM+2 students must complete at least NINE concentration elective CREDITS. Concentration electives are chosen in consultation with an advisor. See the prescribed concentration course list for options.

3

BSBM+2 students must complete at least 9 credits of humanities or social science (HU/SS) electives. Combined with previous study, students must demonstrate a balance in the number of HU and SS designated courses completed. The specific number of HU or SS credits will be determined upon admission.

The two-year Model Track for Degree Completion provides for a schedule whereby students can attend classes two nights per week and occasionally on Saturdays. At least one "on-track" course is offered via Internet-hybrid (IH) delivery each quarter. IH classes meet face-to-face three to four times per quarter, with additional instruction done via the Internet as electronic lectures, interactive discussion forums, and on-line case studies. On-track courses, offered as traditional face-to-face meetings, are offered so three courses can be scheduled by meeting two nights per week, generally Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday. The number of weeks classes meet during the Summer Quarter may vary.

Why Study International Business? The Bachelor of Science in International Business program is a four-year program of study built on the rich tradition of MSOE’s application-oriented philosophy and use of technology in its programs. It’s necessitated by the need to respond to the future competitive challenges of business and the expectation that business leaders should have a global perspective, work experience abroad and understand the challenges of doing business in multiple markets. The program provides a strong foundation for students in business and management, with the availability of a large number of elective courses for professional development in one of the following concentrations: • IT Systems • Marketing • Operations and Logistics A cornerstone of the international business program is the required one-year study abroad during the junior year. MSOE has an exchange agreement with Lübeck University of Applied Sciences, Lübeck, Germany, where students from Lübeck and MSOE take classes together for one year (certain academic requirements are applicable – see program director for details). The classes are taught in English with a year of German included in the curriculum. In addition to the formal study, students are able to travel and experience the cultural diversity and historic heritage of Europe. The program at Lübeck is designed with some flexibility for study. Students are required to take a core set of courses and in addition choose two of four study blocks to follow. Core courses • Language, culture, professional development and a humanities project Study block options • Business Methods – international finance, trade, business project and quantitative methods • Operations/Logistics – production management/logistics, technological investments, integrated systems and material handling • Information Systems – Web programming, systems analysis, SAP programming and database management • Business Management – international management, marketing, accounting and taxes, and economic policies

Upon successful completion of the junior year and completion of the senior year at MSOE, graduates are awarded two degrees: B.S. engineering and business management from Lübeck, and Bachelor of Science in International Business from MSOE.

Lübeck University of Applied Sciences The Lübeck University of Applied Sciences (FHL) has a long tradition that goes back as far as 1808 when the first Navigation School was founded. The highly respected Lübeck University of Applied Sciences has approximately 115 professors and 70 laboratories to provide its 3,000 students with an excellent educational experience. The university combines the availability of the latest equipment with a nationally recognized level of expertise, providing students with a quality education and excellent professional opportunities following graduation.

Lübeck, Germany

International Business

Founded in A.D. 1134, Hansestadt Lübeck is among the few European cities whose Middle Ages appearance is still intact. In 1987, a portion of the old part of town was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was included in the list of the cultural and natural heritage of the world. Located in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein on the Baltic Sea, this city of approximately 210,000 offers a variety of attractive cultural and recreational opportunities, especially for young people. Considered the “Cultural Capital of the North,” Lübeck offers a lively art scene with the Engelswisch Art Centre, Overbeck-Gesellschaft and Kunsthaus, and gallery of Metta Linde. Lübeck is the main venue for the world-famous SchleswigHolstein Music Festival, and its Northern Film Days turn Lübeck into the film capital of northern Europe. The adjacent Baltic resort of Travemünde offers beaches and night life.

Program Objectives The Bachelor of Science in International Business program seeks to produce graduates who are: • recognized for their ability to integrate business technologies into business processes. • in positions of responsibility and leadership within a global business environment. • are committed to professional growth and lifelong learning.

Bachelor of Science Biomedical Engineering Program Director: Dr. Charles S. Tritt Office: S-364 Phone: (414) 277-7421 Fax: (414) 277-7465 E-mail: tritt@msoe.edu Biomedical engineers use scientific knowledge and engineering principles to solve health care related problems. They often create and improve medical devices. Biomedical engineers are also frequently involved in medical research. In general, they use the latest technologies and techniques to improve human well being.

Specialty Areas in Biomedical Engineering Biomedical engineering is a very broad field with several widely recognized specialty areas. Electronic Medical Instrumentation and Bio-signal Processing Electronic medical instrumentation and modern measurement techniques are routinely used to monitor patients and to diagnose and treat their diseases. Computers and embedded microcontrollers are essential parts of most modern medical devices, which include heart monitors, pulse oximeters, cardiac defibrillators and glucose monitors. Biomedical engineers apply signal processing methods to the design of medical devices that monitor and diagnose conditions in the human body. Bio-signal processing involves the sophisticated analysis of data collected from patients or experimental subjects using medical instrumentation in an effort to interpret these signals. This provides physicians and researchers with vital information about the condition of their subjects. Applications of bio-signal processing include heart arrhythmia detection and anesthesia monitoring. Biomaterials, Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine Biomaterials include living tissue and natural and synthetic materials used for implantation and in medical devices. Understanding the properties of the living materials is vital in the selection of implantable materials. Selecting appropriate material to place in the human body may be one of the most difficult tasks faced by a biomedical engineer. Biomaterials must be nontoxic, non-carcinogenic, chemically inert, stable and often must be mechanically strong enough to withstand the repeated forces during a lifetime of use. Examples of biomaterials include temporary synthetic skin replacements, dental adhesives, bone cements, metals and polymers used in replacement joints and materials used in heart valve prosthetics.

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is one of the newest and most rapidly advancing areas of biomedical engineering. Tissue engineering involves the formation of new tissues, either directly inside the body or ex vivo for implantation, to replace tissue damaged or destroyed by accident, disease, or congenital defect. Tissue engineering often involves the use of carefully designed synthetic scaffolds. Regenerative medicine involves inducing the body to regenerate natural tissue rather than form scar tissue after an injury. Examples of regenerative medicine include the production of permanent living skin replacements, the regeneration of damaged cartilage and inducing the regeneration of functional heart muscle after heart attacks. 116


Medical Imaging Medical imaging combines knowledge of unique physical phenomena (sound, radiation, magnetism, etc.) with high speed electronic data processing, analysis and display to generate images of medical interest. Often, these images can be obtained with minimally or completely noninvasive procedures. Examples include ultrasound imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed x-ray tomography (CT). Artificial Organs In the past 50 years, biomedical engineers have helped create artificial replacements for several human organs, including artificial lungs, hearts, kidneys and skin. However, none of these replacement organs work as well as their natural counterparts and there are several other organs that have so far not been successfully replaced. These shortcomings in artificial organ technology illustrate the need for biomedical engineers to continue their efforts to improve existing and create new artificial organs.

Rehabilitation engineering uses concepts in biomechanics and other areas to develop devices to enhance the capabilities and improve the quality of life for individuals with physical and cognitive impairments. Examples include orthotics, prosthetic limbs and home and workplace assistive devices. Systems Physiology and Modeling In the context of biomedical engineering, modeling refers to the use of mathematic, scientific and engineering principles to predict the behavior of systems. Systems may include the entire human body, organs or organ systems, tissues, medical devices and combinations of these.

Biomedical Engineering

Biomechanics and Rehabilitation Engineering Biomechanics is the application of fluid mechanics, transport phenomena, kinematics and mechanical statics and dynamics to biological and medical situations. It includes the study of motion, material deformation and flow within the body, as well as the behavior of devices and transport processes in the body. Examples include the development of drug releasing skin patches, artificial hearts and heart-assist devices, replacement heart valves and artificial joints.

This aspect of biomedical engineering is used to gain a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the function of living systems and the interaction of medical devices with these systems. Modeling is used in the analysis of experimental data and in formulating mathematical descriptions of physiological events. In research, modeling is used as a predictive tool in designing new experiments to refine knowledge and understanding. Examples include the prediction of plasma glucose concentration in normal and diabetic individuals, dynamic models of the biochemistry of human metabolism and modeling limb movements in normal and disease states.

MSOE’s Biomedical Engineering Curriculum The biomedical engineering curriculum at MSOE enables students to develop relevant knowledge and engineering skills. This challenging curriculum exposes students to all the major technical areas of biomedical engineering as well as related non-technical topics. At the heart of this curriculum is a seven-quarter capstone design sequence in which student teams complete a biomedical design project using the same processes currently used in industry. As a result, graduates are well prepared to excel in either academic or industrial careers. Biomedical engineering at MSOE starts with a solid foundation in general science and engineering topics. Students learn mathematics, physics, chemistry and social sciences. Biomedical engineering students also learn fundamental aspects of other traditional types of engineering such as electrical, mechanical and chemical. Finally, students gain specialized scientific knowledge in life science areas such as cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, biostatistics, anatomy and physiology as well as advanced engineering skills in specialty areas such as bio-transport, electronic medical instrumentation, biomaterials, biomechanics and medical imaging. This breadth allows them to solve the unique problems that arise in health care situations. MSOE’s biomedical engineering program covers all the major specialty areas in the field, giving students: • a wide variety of career options after graduation. • a strong focus on the complete engineering design process including market analysis, customer focus, explicit specification statements, feasibility studies, formal presentations, regulatory compliance, design review, and prototype development and testing. • an emphasis on entrepreneurship in both specific courses and throughout the curriculum. • the extensive application of the theoretical principles in modern laboratory experiences including a series of joint laboratory courses that integrate principles from traditionally distinct lecture courses. • ready access to faculty, equipment, facilities and industry contacts to emphasize professional and academic development. • a solid foundation of engineering and life-sciences fundamentals to provide the basis for specialized biomedical engineering learning. • the use of a quarter-based academic calendar, which allows for more total courses and unique courses as compared to semester-based programs.

Program Objectives (v. 7.0) • Engineering Skills – Biomedical engineering graduates possess the skills required to function as entry level engineers as evaluated by the Fundamentals of Engineering examination. Additionally, they are able to solve multidisciplinary problems, evaluate alternative solutions to engineering problems and succeed in their selected profession. • Design Skills – Biomedical engineering graduates demonstrate industrial and professional skills that allow them to function as productive members of an engineering design team. Industrial skills include an understanding of common industrial design practices and entrepreneurial ventures. Professional skills include effective communication, multi-disciplinary teamwork, leadership and global awareness.

Bachelor of Science Electrical Engineering Program Director: Dr. Stephen Williams, P.E. Office: S-300 Phone: (414) 277-7420 Fax: (414) 277-7465 E-mail: williams@msoe.edu Website: www.msoe.edu/eecs/ee Have you ever thought about who created items you so commonly use? Your livelihood depends on electrically engineered products such as your cell phone, HDTV, GPS navigators and implantable defibrillators. Electrical engineers create all such things that use electricity to improve peoples’ lives. Consider becoming an electrical engineer if you: • like to work with physical things you can touch and see, such as electronic components and products, yet use a computer to control and interact with these components and products. • want a broad choice of career opportunities, yet be able to specialize in topics of your choosing. • are looking for a career that can last a lifetime, yet can also serve as a springboard for other opportunities, such as management, business and law. Consider studying electrical engineering at MSOE for the following reasons: • The curriculum is broadly based with a primary focus on hardware— equipment that is real; objects you can see, hold and break. Some of what you will work with can only be seen under a microscope (integrated circuits, nanotechnology) and some will dwarf you (power station generators, wind turbines and solar arrays). • You will experience a strong emphasis on design and hands-on laboratory experimentation. • You will learn about communications, controls, motors, embedded systems, electronics, microprocessors and more, and use software applications. • The curriculum has one or more electrical engineering courses in every quarter of each academic year, including the entire freshman year.

128


Program Objectives The electrical engineering program is preparing graduates to achieve the following objectives in their career and professional accomplishments: • The technical maturity necessary to be productive and successful in their chosen field. • Active participation in the affairs of their profession and continued professional development.

Program Outcomes In support of the program objectives, graduates of the program must demonstrate that they have: • an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering. • an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. • an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability. • an ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems. • an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. • an ability to communicate effectively. • the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental and societal context. • a recognition of the need for and an ability to engage in life-long learning. • a knowledge of contemporary issues. • an ability to use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.

• an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams.

• an ability to apply knowledge of probability and statistics to electrical engineering.

129


The Electrical Engineering Curriculum The electrical engineering program (BSEE) at MSOE places a very strong emphasis on design, applications and hands-on laboratory experimentation. Think for a moment of how you can demonstrate that you learned something very well. What if, in addition to the normal exams, you designed, built and debugged an electronic circuit that functions just like it is supposed to? The laboratory is a great place to work out the details of your understanding of the theory. Consequently, the BSEE program at MSOE prepares its graduates for successful entry into the engineering profession, as well as for graduate school. Design and laboratory projects grow in complexity throughout the four-year BSEE curriculum. In the freshman year students start with experiments that range over electrical engineering topics, such as microprocessors, communications, motors and digital circuits. Students learn structured programming executed on an embedded system and the basics of circuit theory. In succeeding years typical topics covered include: designing decision-making circuits and using the software applications MATLAB and Simulink in the analysis and design of automatic control systems. This design process culminates in the senior design project where a team of senior students (often coming together from different disciplines) work on a single major project for the entire academic year. The project is taken from concept to a working prototype. Recent projects included: • • • • •

Tactical Response SWAT Robot Internet-Enabled Heart Health Monitor Universal Test Platform for NASA Zero-Gravity Flights Solar Powered Boat for Competitive Racing SAE Formula Hybrid Vehicle

Many of the projects use wireless communication and microprocessors. The projects are usually defined by the students, sometimes with the help of faculty and/or local industry. Because of its urban location, MSOE has a very strong relationship with local industry. This is very advantageous for students, not just for design projects, but also for industry internships or summer jobs. BSEE students have the option of a very unique junior year study-abroad program with the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences in Lübeck, Germany. This is a tremendous opportunity for anyone who is thinking about a career path that involves the global economy and viewpoint. For details, please see page 136 of this catalog.

Electrical Engineering Cooperative Education Program Cooperative education is designed to integrate classroom study with planned and supervised work experiences. The co-op program offers students an opportunity to gain industrial experience as part of their formal education. Electrical engineering co-op students are employed in technical capacities in research, development, design, manufacturing and engineering departments of industrial companies, consulting firms and in federal and state agencies. The employment sessions begin in the summer following the sophomore year and typically include three rotations of co-op experience. Each rotation lasts for one academic term and one summer. This five-year program is optional and currently only available for electrical engineering students. Co-op positions are not guaranteed. Positions are awarded at the discretion of the employer after a competitive interviewing process. Anyone interested in a co-op position should contact the Career Placement Office at (414) 277 7120.

Advantages to the Student The co-op program: • provides practical work experience. • develops greater professional understanding: Students develop greater understanding of other people and learn varied techniques of human relations by their personal contact with their fellow workers and peers. • accelerates maturation: Students mature more quickly by their association with professional people in their everyday work. • provides orientation to the world of work. The co-op program provides a solid foundation for career planning and career guidance in the following ways:

• test interests and abilities in connection with real jobs. • gain firsthand career information and guidance in the co-op environment. • discover strengths and weaknesses through co-op employment.

Electrical Engineering

• increases educational motivation.

• provides financial aid. • provides useful employment contacts.

Requirements for the Electrical Engineering Co-op Program • Full-time student status in electrical engineering at MSOE. • Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.50. • Must have completed the sophomore year and receive prior approval from the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department co-op administrator prior to applying for a co-op experience. • Any student who wishes to pursue placement in a co-op position must have an application form on file in the Career Placement Office and a resume completed on Career Net.

135


German Study-abroad Program Students in the electrical engineering program at MSOE have the opportunity to study abroad through an agreement between MSOE and the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences in Lübeck, Germany. The timing could not be better. American business is competing on an international level like at no other time in U.S. history. Foreign companies are buying or forming alliances with American companies at a record pace. There is an increasing likelihood of a graduate doing business with or even working for a foreign-owned company. The graduate who has traveled internationally, speaks a foreign language or has an understanding of the cultures and traditions of other nations will have a marked advantage. The MSOE German Study-abroad Program enables students to study for one year at a German university where the focus is in the area of applied engineering with superbly outfitted laboratories, while at the same time gaining firsthand experience by being immersed in German culture. The key features of MSOE’s program are: • All instruction is in English. Students do NOT need to know any German. • Students will receive two degrees, one from MSOE and one from the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences. • Students will graduate on schedule, if they stay on track in the EE curriculum. EE Study-abroad Coordinator: Dr. Jörg Mossbrucker Office: S-352 Phone: (414) 277-7418 Fax: (414) 277-7465 E-mail: mossbruc@msoe.edu

The Program Electrical engineering students who enroll in the German Study-abroad Program will study for two semesters at the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences during their junior year (certain academic requirements are applicable – see program director for details). The school year runs September through June with extensive breaks, including between semesters, providing an excellent opportunity for European travel.

Bachelor of Science Electrical Engineering Technology Program Director: Dr. Richard Kelnhofer Office: S-305 Phone: (414) 277-2306 Fax: (414) 277-7465 E-mail: kelnhofer@msoe.edu Website: www.msoe.edu/eecs/et The prominence of electrical and electronic products in today’s society is increasing dramatically. Wireless communications, personal computers, efficient electric vehicles and high-definition television are just a few examples of exciting high-technology areas. Electrical engineering technology graduates are prepared to join industry in these and many other areas.

2+2 Program

Students who have graduated with an AAS degree in electrical/electronics engineering technology from an institution with which MSOE has a transfer agreement in EET, and who meet the EET program admission requirements at MSOE, will be accepted into the EET program with junior standing. These students can follow the +2 EET track at MSOE without any need for prerequisite course work. Those with other AAS degrees, or other college experience, are encouraged to apply. Applicants who are accepted may be required to complete prerequisite course work. A transition plan into the BS-EET program will be developed with an EET program advisor. The transition plan will identify the prerequisites to be fulfilled in order to establish junior standing in the EET program.

Program Goals The goals of the electrical engineering technology program are: • to foster the personal and professional growth of its students. • to produce competent and effective contributors to engineering technology and society as a whole.

Electrical Engineering Technology

The electrical engineering technology (EET) program at MSOE is a "+2 EET" (junior/senior years) program. Based on this design, students first complete an appropriate Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree program at a two-year college before enrolling in the +2 program at MSOE.

• to provide a path for transfer students and working technicians to applied engineering positions. • to achieve comprehension using an inductive, experience-based learning methodology that unites theory with practice.

141


Program Educational Objectives Electrical Engineering Technology program graduates will: • successfully function in applied engineering positions, demonstrating proficiencies that include problem solving and technical communications skills. • continue to advance their skills through formal and informal activities related to their profession. • exhibit conduct that is ethical and professional, including consideration of the societal and global impact of their professional endeavors.

Program Outcomes Graduates of the electrical engineering technology program will: • be able to unite theory with practice in engineering technology. • have an ability to use modern computer tools and techniques in the solutions of applied engineering problems. • have knowledge of mathematics, the basic sciences and the elements of engineering sciences as they apply to electrical engineering technology. • be capable of developing test procedures, conducting tests, and interpreting experimental data. • be capable of design based on specified requirements and known design techniques. • possess problem-solving skills involving analysis, simulation, laboratory experimentation and teamwork, with application to electrical and electronic components, circuits, and systems. • be proficient in oral and written communication, having the ability to write technical reports and conduct technical presentations of their work. • have the preparation and an understanding of the importance to continue their education, both formally and informally, throughout their careers. • have knowledge of professional and ethical responsibilities as applied to both engineering technology and society as a whole. • have knowledge of economics, humanities, and social sciences. • have knowledge of quality and continuous improvement, and ability to manage their project involvement, demonstrating project- and time-management skills on individual and team projects.

142


The Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) Curriculum The EET program is accessible on both a full- and part-time basis to transfer students. The EET curriculum uses an experience-based learning methodology and, hence, most of the engineering technology and science courses have an associated laboratory. The electrical engineering technology program generally appeals to students who prefer the use of specific examples to help them learn the overall general concepts, and favor the use of physical concepts to clarify mathematics. Students in the EET program typically enter MSOE at the junior level. As students progress through the curriculum, the mathematics and science (physics and chemistry) courses, as well as previous engineering technology courses, lead into the more advanced engineering technology courses. This curricular approach fits well with the experience-based learning style and allows the student to reach and cover many advanced electrical and electronic topics such as:

In addition to the breadth of these electrical topics, which are an integral part of the curriculum, the student completes a technical elective and a three-course senior project sequence in the senior year. The technical elective areas are offered based on student voting in the previous year (in the course GE-300). In the technical elective, students obtain a deeper understanding of the theory and applications in the topical area of the elective. Popular topical areas include analog and digital electronics, computer hardware and software, electronic communications, and industrial electronics and controls. In the senior project, students form teams that each define and complete a significant project. Examples of recent senior projects include: • design of a closed-loop feedback control system for DC remote control cars to detect and control wheel slip. • design of a solar-powered golf cart battery charging system. • design of a wireless A/V switching system for aggregating multiple game consoles. • design of an enhanced “white cane” with tactile feedback using an embedded multidimensional sensor for the visually impaired. • design of an exercise bike that generates energy, and an associated energy storage system. • design of an ice-fishing tip-up system that uses a wireless transmitter at each tip-up and a single receiver that identifies the triggered tip-up.

Electrical Engineering Technology

• electrical and electronic circuit design. • electronic signal representation and application to electronic circuits using Fourier series, Laplace transforms, Fourier transforms and digital signal processing. • electronic communications including transmission lines and data communications. • electromagnetic fields including an introduction to electromagnetic interference and signal integrity. • control of systems using feedback. • use of contemporary software tools and programming. • digital- and microprocessor-based design.

143


FAA Approval The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the MSOE EET curriculum, and has approved MSOE as a partnership institution, allowing EET students to participate in FAA internships and EET graduates to be hired through the FAA Collegiate Training Initiative (CTI) program.

Career Opportunities Graduates of the electrical engineering technology program enter a variety of industries, such as: aerospace electronics and controls automation industrial equipment automotive instrumentation communications medical computers power generation and distribution Graduates of the program are inclined to enter industry in positions that involve: • developing, designing or improving components and products. • applications of engineering and technology to new and existing products, such as in applications engineering, field service or technical sales. • manufacturing, testing or quality assurance of products. A few examples of industrial projects that program graduates have been involved with include: • design and control of AC motor drive systems. • establishment of wireless communications services in communities. • design of RF (radio frequency) and microwave electronic circuits. • testing products for electromagnetic interference. • developing software for instrumentation and control. • design or modification of digital- and/or microprocessor-based systems.

144


2 + 2 Transfer Option A 2+2 transfer opportunity has been developed in cooperation with the Wisconsin Technical College System and with the College of Lake County in Illinois. Graduates from an Associate of Applied Science degree program in Electrical Engineering Technology (who meet specific conditions listed later in this section) at several Wisconsin and Illinois two-year colleges may transfer into the junior year of MSOE’s Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Technology (BS-EET) program. This opportunity provides associate degree graduates with the education and skills they need for applied engineering positions in today’s fast-paced electronics industry. It also enables them to extend their education with study toward a BS-EET degree without losing credit for work already completed at the two-year college. This 2 + 2 program enables an EET associate degree graduate from a college in the Wisconsin Technical College System to be admitted with junior status into MSOE’s BS-EET program if the graduate meets the following conditions: • has successfully completed all courses in the Associate of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering Technology program with a grade of “C” or better (not C-) in each course;

• meets the MSOE admission requirements for transfer students into the BSEET program, with a cumulative GPA of 2.75 or greater for full acceptance (GPA of 2.50 to 2.74 for acceptance on probationary status). Consult the EET program Web page on the MSOE website, www.msoe.edu/eecs/et/2plus2.shtml, for a current list of transfer agreements with colleges in the Wisconsin Technical College System and in Illinois.

Advice for Other Transfer Students Students whose previous formal education has been gained through a technical, community or junior college are required to consult with the Enrollment Management Department at MSOE about credit transfer. Consultation with an electrical engineering technology program advisor is required to plan a transition schedule around previously completed and qualifying academic experience. A student who plans to transfer from another college into the program at some future date is encouraged to correspond with the Enrollment Management Department at MSOE. The student will be assisted in coordinating, as closely as possible, courses to be taken at another institution of higher education with those courses that are part of the graduation requirements at MSOE. The MSOE philosophy of individual attention to each student is a major factor in making a successful academic transition possible.

Bachelor of Science Software Engineering Program Director: Dr. Mark Sebern Office: L-331 Phone: (414) 277-7213 Fax: (414) 277-7465 E-mail: sebern@msoe.edu Website: www.msoe.edu/eecs/se Software engineering applies engineering concepts, techniques and methods to the development of software systems. A software engineering program develops engineering professionals with a mastery of software development theory, practice and process. Software engineering is based on computer science in the same way other engineering disciplines are based on physical or life sciences. However, it adds an emphasis on issues of process, design, measurement, analysis and verification, providing a strong foundation in engineering principles and practice as applied to software development. Software engineering students gain knowledge and skill in all aspects of the software development life cycle, including requirements elicitation and analysis, software architecture, design, construction and verification. They learn to work within and to continuously improve a defined software development process, with the aim of producing high-quality software predictably and efficiently. To provide a basis for this software engineering practice and process, students are grounded in the fundamentals of computer science, including discrete mathematics, data structures, algorithms, computer organization and operating systems.

148


Program Objectives The software engineering program at MSOE implements the university’s mission by facilitating the personal and professional growth of its students so they can become effective contributors to the engineering profession and to society as a whole. In their work as software engineering professionals, graduates will: • be able to unite theory with practice, be prepared and motivated to engage in lifelong learning and have a solid foundation in mathematics and science. • be productive practitioners skilled in applying engineering process and practice to software components and systems. • be proficient in oral and written communication, and effective in team work.

Program Outcomes In support of the program objectives, graduates of the program must demonstrate they have: • an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering. • an ability to apply continuous and discrete mathematics, probability and statistics, computer science, software engineering practices and processes.

• an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability. • an ability to perform detailed and architectural design of software components and systems while satisfying functional and non-functional requirements. • an ability to function on multidisciplinary teams. • an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems. An ability to elicit and document software requirements, and to propose and evaluate designs and processes to meet them.

Software Engineering

• an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data. An ability to design prototypes to elicit requirements, design tests to evaluate system performance, propose and evaluate process changes based on individual and team metrics.

• an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility. • an understanding of the critical role played by software systems, the professional responsibilities of software engineers, and ethical issues that may be encountered in engineering practice. • an ability to communicate effectively. • the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context. • a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning. • a knowledge of contemporary issues. An awareness of trends in the software engineering discipline and of societal issues that affect software engineering practice. • an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice. An ability to use modern software engineering tools, programming languages and environments, project planning and tracking systems, specification and verification techniques. 149


Curriculum MSOE prides itself on uniting theory with industry practice in both classroom and laboratory activities. Software practice and process are emphasized throughout the curriculum. The software development laboratory provides experience in various roles, working on large-scale projects using software engineering tools and techniques. In the senior design sequence, software engineering students work in teams to complete a major project, in some cases collaborating with students in other disciplines. Often project ideas originate in industry, where many students work as interns. Software is a critical component of many different types of products and systems, in fields such as consumer electronics, transportation, health care, communications, finance, manufacturing, entertainment, government and education. Computer networks and mobile computing devices play a major role, and these technologies are incorporated throughout the software engineering curriculum. Since many software engineers work with computers that play a critical role in products such as avionics, medical devices and industrial controls, the software engineering program also includes courses that prepare graduates to develop these “real time” computing systems. Because software development requires collaboration, communication skills and teamwork are critically important. Course work and projects provide many opportunities to develop proficiency in writing, oral presentation, collaboration and project management. Elective courses offer software engineering students the opportunity to pursue study in areas such as: • • • •

Foreign Language Courses at MSOE Enrollment in Foreign Language Courses 1) A student may not enroll in a foreign language course if that foreign language is spoken in the student’s home. 2) A student who has had one year of a specific language in high school may enroll in the introductory language course. Students having two years of a specific language in high school must begin at the second language course. For each additional year of language in high school, a student must begin at a correspondingly higher level. Fulfillment of HU Elective Credit 1) Students enrolling in a beginning language course (designated by the Roman numeral “I”) must enroll in and successfully complete two quarters of language courses in order to receive HU credit for the beginning course. If a student were to take German I, for example, but not German II, the three credits would be tabulated in the student’s grade point average, but the credit would not apply toward the fulfillment of HU electives. 2) A student who is placed in “Foreign Language II” or “Foreign Language III” will receive three credits of HU elective credit for that course without completing another sequential course. 3) A student placed in “Foreign Language II” or “Foreign Language III” will not receive credit for more fundamental language courses.

Wisconsin Lutheran College (WLC) professors teach an intensive ESL curriculum on MSOE’s campus. The intensive ESL program is for students with low- to intermediate-English proficiency who have not obtained the English scores required for full admission to MSOE. Students who qualify for conditional admission to MSOE will be given the opportunity to study in the WLC intensive ESL program at MSOE. Please contact the Admission Office for information about applying.

General Studies

Intensive English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL ) Program

English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) Bridge Program MSOE’s English-as-a-Second-Language Bridge Program provides non-native English speaking international students whose TOEFL scores range between 173213 (computer-based), 500-550 (paper based) or 61-78 (Internet-based), or whose IELTS scores range between 5.0 and 6.0, an opportunity to improve their English communication skills that are required for study at MSOE. Those international students whose TOEFL score falls within one of these ranges are accepted to MSOE’s ESL Bridge Program. During the first year, these students will be required to take one three-credit reading/writing course and one three-credit listening/speaking course each quarter. In addition to the two ESL classes each quarter, students will enroll in two MSOE courses that will count toward their major. In other words, students will take 157


four classes each quarter; two will be ESL courses and two will be related to the student’s major. Students must pass their ESL courses with a grade of “CD” or better. Failure to do so will result in the student being subject to suspension from the university and will require a written appeal in order to continue (see page 30). After students have satisfactorily completed all six ESL courses and obtained satisfactory grades in all the MSOE courses taken during their first year at MSOE, they will be able to continue studying in their major. At the start of the second year, and for each year thereafter, students can take a full load of major classes. However, please note that with the ESL component, it will take five years to complete the student’s degree program. ESL Program Goals The goal of the ESL program is to bridge the gap between the English language skills the students possess and the skills they will need to be academically successful at MSOE. Specifically, • to improve the students’ academic skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking. • to provide the students with a foundation in culture and cultural values, ethics, integrity and social responsibility from an American perspective. • to provide a climate that fosters independent thinking and personal development.

Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts Technical Communication Program Director: Dr. Nadya Shalamova Office: GM-202 Phone: (414) 277-2331 Fax: (414) 277-7462 E-mail: shalamova@msoe.edu Website: www.msoe.edu/gen_st/tc The field of technical communication is a logical extension of the rapid growth in technology. Individuals in this field creatively express ideas and accomplishments of industry, business and other institutions through a variety of instructional and procedural materials, business and grant proposals, Web and multimedia tools. Consequently, individuals in this field have aptitude and education in both the humanities and the sciences and are able to relate readily to people on many levels. The degree in technical communication at MSOE is designed to provide students with: • a core liberal arts education in humanities and social sciences. • courses in the major area which will allow students to design and produce both written documents and oral presentations for business, industry and other institutions. • literacy in basic engineering, business, mathematics, physical science and computers.

Program Goals • develop, design and distribute written documents and oral presentations conveying technical material for business, industry and other institutions. • understand communication theory in order to assist business, industry and other institutions with developing management tools related to the flow of information within an organization. • act as a link between the expertise of technical personnel and the needs of the various audiences of industry, business and other institutions. • pursue graduate study in areas related to communication. Potential employment in a wide variety of fields is available to graduates of the program because of the scope of the degree. Typical employment opportunities for graduates include engineering firms, government, information technology, hitech manufacturing, financial, pharmaceutical, medical device industries, public relations firms and mass media (television or radio).

Technical Communication

The primary goals of the program are to produce graduates who are able to:

The bachelor of arts degree requires five quarters of a foreign language. A bachelor of science degree option is available in this program. Upon consultation with the program director, a student may choose to select 15 credits of technical electives in place of 15 credits of a foreign language, which would result in the bachelor of science degree.

Bachelor of Science Technical Communication – 2 + 2 Degree The 2 + 2 degree program in technical communication offered by MSOE is designed for individuals with an associate degree in any field. This program is an excellent opportunity for those individuals with technical aptitude whose career goals are in fields involving communication skills – for example, human resource management, Web design, usability testing, software documentation, technical sales, knowledge management, technical training, proposal writing, project management, e-business, marketing, public relations, journalism, technical writing and information technology. The 2 + 2 program also will be attractive to individuals performing technical writing functions in their careers but lacking an academic background in writing and communication. Graduates with a two-year associate degree in any field may transfer with junior standing and expect two full years of advanced credit. The Bachelor of Science degree in Technical Communication at MSOE has three academic components: • course work in written, oral and visual technical communication • course work in the humanities and social sciences • course work in business, science and engineering technology The 2+2 program is offered to students in four different versions, each of which is designed to complement the academic component emphasized in the associate degree. Plan A emphasizes course work in technical communication, humanities and social science. This plan is designed for students entering the 2+2 program with an A.A.S. degree who have already taken course work in business, science and engineering technology. Plan B* emphasizes course work in the humanities and social sciences, as well as in business, science and engineering technology. This plan is designed for students entering with an A.A.S. degree in technical communication. Plan C* emphasizes course work in technical communication, business, science and engineering technology. This plan is designed for students entering with an associate of arts degree. Plan D* emphasizes courses in technology and interpersonal communication and is created for students entering the program with the first two years of course work in the B. A. in media and communications at MAHE-MANIPAL in Dubai. In some cases, advanced undergraduate standing in technical course work can be considered in lieu of an associate degree. In all cases, course substitutions will be made when necessary to avoid duplication of course work taken to complete the associate degree requirements. Prerequisite subjects may also be scheduled if needed. *For Plan B, C or D track, contact the technical communication program director.

There is an increasing likelihood of a graduate doing business with or even working for a foreign owned company. The graduate who has traveled internationally, speaks a foreign language or has an understanding of the cultures and traditions of other nations will have a marked advantage. The MSOE German Study-abroad Program enables students to study for one year at a German university where the focus is in the area of applied engineering with superbly outfitted laboratories, while at the same time gaining firsthand experience by being immersed in German culture.* The key features of MSOE’s program are: • All instruction is in English. Students do NOT need to know any German. • Students will receive two degrees, one from MSOE and one from the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences. • Students will graduate on schedule, if they stay on track in the ME curriculum.

The Program Mechanical engineering students who enroll in the German Study-Abroad Program will study for two semesters at the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences during their junior year. The school year runs September through June with extensive breaks, including between semesters, providing an excellent opportunity for European travel. Students live in off-campus housing arranged by the university. They are in class with their German counterparts. Mechanical engineering students wishing to participate in the study-abroad program at Lübeck University of Applied Sciences must have major and cumulative GPAs of 2.75 or higher at the end of the Winter Quarter of their sophomore year, and be in good academic standing at the end of Winter and Spring Quarters of their sophomore year. In addition, all curriculum requirements of the first two years of the mechanical engineering program must be completed by the end of Spring Quarter prior to departure for Germany. For more information about Lübeck University of Applied Sciences and Lübeck, Germany, please see page 136. *Certain academic requirements are applicable – see program director for details.

• NU courses may only be repeated one time. Failure to earn a “C” upon repeating the same course will result in academic dismissal.

Nursing

• A student receiving less than a “C” or a “W” will have to retake the course in its entirety (theory and clinical). This may delay progression by as much as one year.

• A maximum of two NU courses may be repeated. Failing to earn a “C” or better in a third NU course (with the exception of NU-260, NU-2810, NU-382, NU-290 and NU-391) will result in academic dismissal.al. • Students must earn a “C” or better in Anatomy and Physiology (BI-172, BI-273 and BI-274) as a prerequisite to progress into NU-2010 and/or NU-2020. Students earn a final grade in clinical nursing courses which is comprised of two components: • a numeric grade on theory/written work. This work includes assignments related to the clinical experience. • a pass/fail grade for clinical performance. The clinical performance is based on faculty evaluation. Students must complete their course of studies within six years of enrollment in their first NU clinical course. Any course that does not meet this guideline must be repeated in order to qualify for graduation. Special Testing Accommodations Special testing accommodations will be provided for students with documented special needs. Special testing conditions will not be provided for students without documentation on file. Curriculum Description The nursing program consists of 12 quarters of 16 to 18 quarter hours each of general education and professional nursing courses (see Model Full-time Track). Students who wish to enroll in fewer than 16 to 18 hours each quarter are advised to notify their advisor as soon as possible so that a satisfactory, comprehensive program plan can be designed. Upon successful completion of the required course work, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree is awarded. Graduates from the MSOE School of Nursing are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensing Exam for RNs (NCLEX-RN).

Chemistry III and Chemistry III Lab Third quarter of General Chemistry to complement CH-200/-201 Organic Chemistry II and Organic Chemistry II Lab Completes a year of Organic-/Bio-Chemistry together with CH-222/-223 Fundamentals of Environmental Chemistry Nanoscience and Nanotechnology

Application of Surface Science to Modern Technology – Professor Matey Kaltchev The number and importance of these applications provide a wonderful opportunity for the students to choose project topics and enhance their knowledge in various areas of cutting-edge technology. Areas include, but are not limited to, the application of surface science in heterogeneous catalysis (automotive and environmental catalysis, fuel cell technology, new energy sources, etc.), the unique world of Nanotechnology for the development of novel materials and devices, and Tribology, the science of friction, so important and much studied and yet so poorly understood, etc. Hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment and scientific tools commonly used to study processes at surfaces will help to better prepare the students for the challenges of their modern engineering professions. Biology of Viruses – Professor Gul Afshan Mankind has always been under the threat of new and more dangerous viruses. Emerging and modern transportation systems make it all the easier for a virus to spread quickly throughout the world. However, it is worth noting that viruses have always been with us, evolving ways to reproduce and spread. Viruses, like humans, are just playing the evolution game. But viruses cheat! Course topics include: • the origin of viruses • classes of animal and plant viruses and their characteristics • mechanisms and tactics used by viruses to invade their hosts • vaccinia, virus or small pox vaccine • effects of viral infections on host cells • discussions on new and often extremely virulent viruses, such as HIV-1 and HIV- 2, Ebola and Marburg. 211


Chemistry of Materials – Professor Anne-Marie Nickel The chemical structure and composition of metals, semiconductors, metal alloys, solid solutions, polymers, and crystalline and magnetic materials play a significant role in the properties of these materials. Tools of materials chemistry include scanning probe microscopes (SPM) and X-ray diffraction. Using the fundamentals of chemistry, we will investigate these properties and understand how subtle changes in atomic structure can yield dynamic changes in how the materials can function and be used. Inorganic Chemistry – Professor Anne-Marie Nickel Inorganic chemistry surveys the diverse chemistry of all of the elements in the periodic table. This makes the subject very diverse and includes many different and exciting subjects in chemistry including main group, coordination, solid-state, materials, bioinorganic and organometallic chemistries. The relevance of each topic to real life applications and current research will be investigated. Nanotechnology – Professor Anne-Marie Nickel Extraordinary materials and properties can be obtained from the control of materials at the nanoscale by manipulating atoms and molecules. We will discuss how properties of materials understood at the macro and microscale can differ significantly at the nanoscale. The tools used to manipulate atoms, molecules and materials will be covered. A survey of current research in nanotechnology will demonstrate how the topics discussed in the course apply to new technological advances. Nuclear Chemistry and Society – Professor Anne-Marie Nickel Whether through the treatment or cause of cancer, the consumption of irradiated foods, or the benefits of nuclear power, nuclear chemistry plays a role in nearly everyone’s life. In fact, nuclear chemistry has influenced and affected entire populations. A survey of the uses of nuclear chemistry will be discussed. Included in these discussions will be the benefits and costs of using nuclear chemistry to society.

Dual-degree program


Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering and Construction Management Combining architectural engineering and construction management studies to earn two B.S. degrees in five years is a relatively popular option ... rightfully so! Blending design engineering skills with construction project management abilities provides a powerful combination of complementary professional disciplines for an industry that increasingly seeks the most qualified employees for the most challenging and rewarding work, then pays them well when they succeed. Details about the AE and CM degrees are provided in an earlier section of this catalog.

Bachelor of Science in Business Management

MSOE’s Rader School of Business offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management to complement an engineering degree through MSOE’s double-major program. By taking business management courses concurrently with engineering courses, students learn how to apply their technical skills to real-world business and financial situations. Approximately 15 courses in business management are taken concurrently with a student’s chosen engineering curriculum to give the student two degrees in five years. Some key classes in the program include the following:

Two Degree Programs

MSOE’s business management program was established with the understanding that business is driven by rapidly changing technology. Since computers are the most important tools in business, MSOE’s business management curricula is centered around the latest technological developments in computers.

business and government relations, e-business, organizational behavior, project management, employment law, economics, accounting, finance, marketing, international business, operations management, management policies and business communications. When registering for a double-major program in engineering and business management, students should see the chairman of the Rader School of Business.

Freshman-to-Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering One of the truly unique features of MSOE’s civil engineering (CVE) program is that graduates can receive both their bachelor's and master's degrees in five years. It has been designed to meet the new Body of Knowledge for the 21st Century requirements developed by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). At MSOE, civil engineering course work provides a broad-based education touching on each of the traditional areas within the civil engineering field. Students will then gain in-depth proficiency and design skills in one of these three areas: structural engineering, environmental engineering or water resources engineering. For more information about the civil program, turn to page 63.

Bachelor of Science in Technical Communication MSOE’s technical communication program produces graduates who are able to communicate technical knowledge effectively to others. There is a growing need for technical communicators, since we live in an era of technological change. With MSOE’s double-major program, the engineer or business specialist is trained to communicate facts about technical devices and operations to the public, consumers, employers and co-workers in other areas of specialty. Since courses in 217


engineering and communication are taken simultaneously, students may enjoy hands-on laboratory work in one class and write about that experience in the next class. These are vital skills for the engineer or business specialist in today’s rapidly changing technological frontier. Approximately 19 courses in technical communication are taken concurrently with a student’s chosen engineering or business curriculum for this option of the doublemajor program. Some key classes in the technical communication program include the following: report and proposal writing, desktop publishing, mass communication, writing and editing for publication, visual design techniques, research methods, speech, persuasive speech, professional presentation skills, human communication, group discussion, intercultural communication, interpersonal communication, organizational communication, marketing communication and student internship The number of required technical communication courses in a double-major program varies with the engineering or business program selected. A course schedule can be designed for students upon commitment to the program. When preregistering for a double-major program that includes technical communication, students should meet with the program director for technical communication.

Master of Science in Structural Engineering This program emphasizes building structural design and analysis, and meets the needs of students who desire increased knowledge to design modern building structural systems. Courses focus on structural design topics such as advanced design of structural steel members and systems. Courses on advanced structural analysis are also presented to provide a broader theoretical background for structural design. Students with an appropriate undergraduate degree can complete the program in five years on a part-time basis or as little as two years on a full-time basis. (See the MSOE Graduate Catalog for more information.) The dual-degree program allows a student to obtain a bachelor’s degree in architectural engineering and a master’s degree in structural engineering in five years. The dual-degree program follows the first three years of the undergraduate curriculum for the Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering degree (structural specialty), and then mixes undergraduate and graduate courses during the fourth and fifth years. Upon completion of the fifth year, the bachelor’s and master’s degrees are awarded simultaneously. An alternative program allows a student to replace select undergraduate level courses with graduate level courses during the fourth year of the Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering program (structural specialty). Upon completion of the bachelor’s degree, the student can return and complete the Master of Science in Structural Engineering program in one additional year on a full-time basis, or take up to four years to complete the graduate program on a part-time basis. Interested students should meet with the Master of Science in Structural Engineering program director during their sophomore and junior years for further explanation of their options. Students apply to the dual-degree program at the beginning of the Spring Quarter in their junior year.

Also addressed is the need to align manufacturing with overall organizational strategic plans and objectives. Manufacturing’s early involvement in the planning process is critical. Typically manufacturing’s active involvement takes place late in the planning cycle. This course will address why the late involvement exists and the need for early involvement. Late involvement often leads to a flawed strategy and/or strategies difficult for manufacturing to successfully support. A factor in the flawed approach is often due to manufacturing’s excessive attention to day-to-day issues. The day-to-day necessity may also be symptomatic of a flawed manufacturing process. Late involvement provides little time to assess and acknowledge current system flaws. Building a strategy from a flawed system or process is a potentially devastating situation.
