Civil Engineering TechnologyThe Civil Engineering Technology program prepares graduates to

work in the career directions of civil technology systems and the surveyingprofessions. The program includes the disciplines of surveying planningtransportation, engineering facilities operation, structural systems, geo-technical and technical governmental service support.

The civil engineering technologist works as part of a team with civilengineers and other professionals. The technologist’s qualifications mustinclude training in both theoretical and practical applications of the basicprinciples of engineering. The Civil Engineering Technology curriculum hasbeen designed to meet these requirements and leads to the Bachelor ofScience (BS) degree in Civil Engineering technology. The program offers aformal minor conferred at the program area level and a professional certi-fication training program. The on campus BS degree is accredited by theTechnology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (TAC /ABET).

The Florida Board of Professional Surveyors and Mappers has recog-nized the surveying option as an approved course of study in land survey-ing. Students in this option will be expected to take the land Surveyor Test(LST) during their senior year.

The Navy-Marine Four-Year Scholarship Program-The NROTCScholarship Program is open to young men and women of all races, creeds,and national origin who are United States citizens. Students are selected ontheir own merit to become officers in the United States Navy and MarineCorps. Scholarship students are appointed Midshipmen, U.S. NavyReserve. The Navy pays for tuition, fees, textbooks, uniforms, and a month-ly subsistence allowance of up to $350.00 for four years. Scholarship stu-dents are normally selected through national competition during theirsenior year in high school. Each year, ten HBCU Scholarships are availablethrough a competitive selection process to Black and Hispanic studentswith academic potential who have yet to demonstrate their performance ina college environment or who have completed at least one, but not morethan two semesters of course work at the university with a cumulative GPAof 3.0 or better and with no grade below "C".

Although it is not a requirement, a student in the NROTC ScholarshipProgram is encouraged to pursue a major in engineering, mathematics,chemistry, or physics to meet the technological requirements of the Navy.Other fields of study for a major leading to a baccalaureate degree are per-mitted, with the approval of the Professor of Naval Science. Regardless of


the major, every scholarship student must complete one year of physics andone year of calculus.

Students must include certain Navy specified courses in their pro-gram and complete a program of courses as prescribed by the Professor ofNaval Science. Upon graduation, and successful completion of the navalscience curriculum, the midshipman will receive a reserve commission asEnsign in the U.S. Naval Reserve or Second Lieutenant in the U.S. MarineCorps Reserve and serve on active duty for a minimum of four years.

The Navy-Marine Corps College Program-The NROTC CollegeProgram is designed to train and educate well-qualified young men andwomen for commissioning. Selected students are appointed as midship-men in the Naval Reserve prior to commencement of the advanced coursein the junior year. The Navy pays for uniforms and naval science textbooksall during the four-year period, and during the junior and senior years, paysthe midshipman a $250.00-per-month subsistence allowance. Each stu-dent is selected for enrollment in the program on the basis of past acade-mic performance, potential, personal interviews, and a physical examina-tion. A college program midshipman only acquires a military service oblig-ation after entering the advanced courses at the beginning of the junioryear.

Although there are no restrictions on the major college program stu-dents may pursue, it is highly recommended that they pursue a course ofstudy similar to that of scholarship students. Students must also include intheir program certain Navy specified courses and a program of courses innaval science. Students, upon graduation and successful completion of thenaval science curriculum, receive a Reserve commission as an Ensign inthe U.S. Naval Reserve or a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Marine CorpsReserve and serve on active duty for a minimum of three years.

Two-Year NROTC College Program (Non-Scholarship)-The NROTCUnit at Florida A&M University offers a two-year non-scholarship programwhich is designed specifically for students commencing their third year ofcollege, who were not enrolled in the NROTC program during their fresh-man and sophomore years. Applications must be submitted during thesophomore year by the first of March to permit processing, personal inter-views, and a physical examination. Qualifications for acceptance to thisprogram include demonstrated ability to complete college level scienceand math courses. Upon acceptance into this program, the student attendsa six-week intensive course at the Naval Science Institute in Newport,Rhode Island, in the summer prior to commencing the junior year of study.Students in a five-year engineering curriculum may attend the institutionbetween their third and fourth years. The six-week summer course qualifiesthe student for enrollment in the NROTC program at the junior level.During the student’s attendance at the Naval Science Institute, the Navyprovides room and board, books, uniforms, and transportation from homeand return, as well as pays the student approximately $365.00 month.Upon successful completion of the course, the Navy pays for uniforms,naval science textbooks, and $250.00 subsistence allowance.

Two-Year NROTC Scholarship Program-The two-year scholarshipprogram is administered in the same manner as the two-year non-scholar-ship program, except that a student who has excelled in a math, physicalscience, or engineering major and who has demonstrated above averageperformance in integral calculus may be selected for a two-year full tuitionscholarship, to be awarded upon successful completion of the six-weekperiod of training at the Naval Science Institute. In addition to the full-tuition scholarship, the student will receive $300.00 subsistence permonth, books, and lab fees.

Summer Training-The NROTC Scholarship Program student isrequired to complete training of approximately four weeks during each ofthe three summer recesses. During the first summer period, each scholar-ship student will receive instruction in aviation training, marine combattraining, surface warfare indoctrination, and submarine indoctrinationeither in Norfolk, Virginia or San Diego, California. The second summertraining will be performed aboard operational ships of the U.S. Fleet.During the third summer, candidates for U.S. Navy commissions will per-form training aboard operational ships as junior officer. The student whoqualifies for nuclear propulsion training may elect to cruise on nuclearpowered ships or submarines. “Mini-Buds” Training is also available forthird summer Midshipmen interested in Naval Special Warfars. Some mid-shipmen cruise with allied navies through the Midshipman ForeignExchange Program. Transportation costs to and from the training sites, sub-sistence, quarters, and pay of approximately $365 per month will be paidto every participating student.

The candidates for U.S. Marine Corps commissions will performtraining at the U.S. Marine Corps Base, Quantico, Virginia. The MarineOption NROTC Summer Training Program, "Bulldog," is designed to pre-pare midshipmen for appointment to commissioned grade by providingbasic military instruction and physical training. An evaluation of midship-men is made to ensure that they possess the leadership, academic, andphysical qualifications required for appointment to commissioned grade inthe Marine Corps Reserve.

Female midshipmen participate in all NROTC curriculum require-ments and activities, including cruises aboard selected ships. A womanwho has qualified for Marine Option Summer Training at Quantico attendsthe Woman Officer Candidate Course at Officer Candidates School inQuantico, Virginia.

Specified University Courses: In addition to satisfying requirementsfor a baccalaureate degree, the student must satisfactorily complete the fol-lowing four-year curriculum guide, including required naval science cours-es and specified university courses.

College of Pharmacy andPharmaceutical Sciences

HistoryThe School of Pharmacy was organized in 1951 as part of the

Florida Agricultural and Mechanical College (FAMC). The thrust for phar-maceutical education at FAMC came from community health care lead-ers and health professionals on campus who saw the need for pharma-ceutical services across the country.

The designation, College of Pharmacy and PharmaceuticalSciences, was made in 1985 in recognition of the expanded role andmission of the College in professional and graduate education. The evo-lution of the College has witnessed the initiation of pharmacy educationwith just one student in the beginning to now being one of the largest col-leges of pharmacy in the country.

The College has expanded its operations from the main campuslocated in the capital city of Florida; Tallahassee. Extension campuses arelocated in Miami, Tampa and Jacksonville, Florida. These campuses, allaffiliated with a major teaching medical center, create outstanding clini-cal training opportunities for the student, provide unlimited opportunitiesfor research and support the infrastructure for the College’s statewidecommitment to pharmacy education and public service.

The College of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences is a profes-sional college with limited enrollment and selective admissions. Themission of the College is to produce highly qualified pharmacy practi-tioners who take an active role and responsibility in the delivery and out-comes of pharmaceutical care.

The dynamic changes that are occurring in the health systems ofAmerica demand a technologically literate, clinically trained, adminis-tratively prepared and caring health professional. Pharmacy practition-ers of the 21st century will participate in drug delivery to patients, coor-dinate therapeutic outcomes and monitor patient care.

Students who conscientiously apply themselves and successfullycomplete the pharmacy program will be technically trained, educated,and well-prepared to make significant contributions to the health carearea in which they work. The College of Pharmacy and PharmaceuticalSciences strives to educate and train pharmacists to use their scientificknowledge, problem solving and critical thinking skills to determine thebest solution to the health care problems of today and the future.

The accelerating pace of high-technological developments has cre-ated an ever-increasing demand for highly qualified, professional engi-neers to maintain the high-tech momentum already achieved, and toextend and direct its course. Expanding population and correspondingdemands for new products, structures, designs, and improved serviceshave imposed new challenges to present and future engineers.Accordingly, the College of Engineering, through its curricula, strives toeducate and train engineers to use their scientific knowledge and prob-lem-solving skills to determine the best solution to the problems of todayand the future.

Students who conscientiously apply themselves and successfullycomplete one of the broad engineering programs will be technicallytrained, educated, and well-prepared to make a significant contributionto the world in which they work.

A student enrolling in engineering can pursue any one of severalcareer plans, according to personal ambitions, interest, and abilities. Thestudent may choose the traditional bachelor of science (BS) degree orconsider advanced research-oriented graduate programs leading to themaster of science (MS) and doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees.

After graduation, an engineer will probably work as a member of ateam solving a problem or designing products or processes. The engi-neer’s responsibility may include many of the following: 1) the concep-tion of the idea, including a careful delineation of the problem; 2) thedesign of the item or process, including operational and productionrequirements; 3) the selection of materials; 4) the determination of mar-kets; 5) the assessment of sociological effects and determination of meth-ods for controlling these effects; 6) the design or selection of machinesfor production; and 7) the control of costs. At the present time, over two-thirds of all the technical positions and a large percentage of the man-agerial positions in industry are occupied by engineers.

History and GoalsThe FAMU-FSU College of Engineering was authorized by the 1982

Legislature as a joint program between Florida A&M University andFlorida State University. The joint nature of the college allows a studentto enroll at either Florida A&M University or Florida State University andreceive a degree in any of the colleges’ programs. A student entering theCollege applies for admission through one of the two universities andmust satisfy the admission and general degree requirements of that uni-versity. The degree is granted by the university where the student is reg-istered while completing upper division studies. All college classroomsand administrative and faculty offices are housed in a modern engineer-ing complex located at 2525 Pottsdamer Street near Innovation Park.

The mission of the College of Engineering is to provide an innova-tive academic program of excellence at both the undergraduate andgraduate levels, judged by the highest standards in the field and recog-nized by national peers; to attract and graduate a greater number ofminorities and women in professional engineering, engineering teachingand research; and to attain national and international recognition of theCollege through the educational and research achievements and the pro-fessional service of its faculty and students.

All BS engineering programs at the College of Engineering areaccredited by The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET). This Board is recognized in the United States as the sole agencyresponsible for accreditation of educational programs leading to degreesin engineering. It is the responsibility of the College of Engineering todemonstrate to ABET that all accreditation criteria are met.

Criterion 1 of the ABET states: "Students. The quality and perfor-mance of the students and graduates are important considerations in theevaluation of an engineering program. The institution must evaluate,advise, and monitor students to determine its success in meeting programobjectives." (ABET Engineering Criteria 2002).

Programs and DegreesThe college offers professional programs of study leading to the

bachelor of science (BS) degree, the master of science (MS), and doctorof philosophy (Ph.D.) in biomedical (M.S., Ph.D. only), chemical, civil,computer (BS only), electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering, aswell as interdisciplinary specializations in bioengineering, biomedical,environmental and materials engineering. The BS programs are accredit-ed by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).

FacilitiesThe College occupies over 200,000 sq. ft. of classroom, offices and

laboratory space in a building complex especially designed for engi-neering education. It is located off the main campus of each universityin an area adjacent to Innovation Park, which also houses the NationalHigh Magnetic Field Laboratory, the Center for Advanced Power Systemsand other university, public and private organizations engaged inresearch, development and clean industry operations.

Each department of the College operates specialized laboratoriesfor teaching and research that are listed in the description of its programs.

The College operates for the common use of all programs a com-puting facility, a library and reading room, and a machine shop.

LibrariesThe main book and journal collections for engineering are housed

in the Dirac Science Library at FSU and in the Coleman Library at FAMU.The College also maintains an "Engineering Library Resource andReading Room" (sometimes referred to simply as Engineering ReadingRoom or College Library) that functions as a satellite to the two universi-ty libraries relative to engineering needs. Collections at the CollegeLibrary include monographs, texts and reference works that directly sup-port instruction and research at the College. Library computer facilitiesenable extensive electronic literature search throughout the universitylibraries and other sources. Library services include literature searchtraining sessions for students and faculty. The College Library is headedby a full time librarian who is also a staff member of one of the two uni-versity libraries. Other College Library personnel include assistants sup-ported by the College.

Computing FacilitiesStudents at the College have access to a large number and variety

of computing resources in the College of Engineering Building (CEB).Due to the unique requirements of engineering computing and the off-campus location of CEB, the college has chosen to be relativelyautonomous in providing service to engineering students.

Academic Requirements for

Admission and Retention in an Engineering Major(February 14, 2004)

Preamble

Engineering is a profession demanding discipline, and studentsmajoring in engineering must follow a required sequence of courses andachieve a high level of proficiency. In accordance with criteria of theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), all engi-neering students are subject to a uniform set of academic requirementsagreed to by both universities, and are in addition to any other academ-ic requirements stated in the university catalog and is bBulletin. Theserequirements have been established to ensure that program graduatesreceive a quality education and make reasonable progress toward satis-

fying engineering major degree requirements. They are annuallyreviewed and revised as needed by the Executive Council of the Collegeof Engineering.

Requirements for Admission and Retention in anEngineering Major

1. All entering students who wish to pursue engineering as a majorwill be admitted to a pre-engineering program and advised by a fac-ulty member or professional staff in engineering.

2. All pre-engineering students will be enrolled in EGN-1004L FirstYear Engineering Laboratory during their first year. This requirementmay be waived for transfer students at the discretion of an academ-ic advisor.

3. A grade of “C” or better will be required in EGN-1004L in order toregister for any 2000-level or above engineering course for whichthis is a pre-requisite. One repeat is permitted to meet this require-ment.

Admission an Engineering Major

1. Students must achieve a pre-engineering GPA of 2.5 or better in cal-culus I, calculus II, physics I, and chemistry I to be admitted to anengineeringengineering major. A student may exclude a single onerepeated attempt in any one of these courses when calculating hisor herthis pre-engineering GPA. Students who achieve a pre-engi-neering GPA between 2.3 and 2.5 in this GPA may be admitted atby an academic the discretion of an academic department chairafter completing additional requirements. Students who achieve apre-engineering GPA below 2.3 in those four courses will not beadmitted into any engineering major. In order to declare a major astudent is required to be in the upper division status in the univer-sity. and will not be allowed to register for any 2000 level or aboveengineering course.

Course Grade Requirement and Practice

1. It is the practice of the College not to use “Plus and minus (+/-)”grading for any engineering course.

2. Engineering majors must earn a grade of “C” or better in all engi-neering courses which apply toward the degree. This requirementmay be waived by the academic dean upon recommendation fromthe department chair for no more than one (1) such course.

3. A student who is failing a course cannot receive a grade ofIncomplete (I). A grade of "I" can only be given to a student whois passing a course and who has completed at least one-half of thecourse work by the end of the term. The student must make upany missing work during the next term in which the course isoffered.

Repeated Course Attempts Policy

1. Students with excessive repeated course attempts are deemed notto be making satisfactory progress in completing engineering majordegree requirements. A student who fails to earn a grade of “C” orbetter after a second attempt in the same engineering course, orwho has more than three repeated engineering course attempts willbe suspended from the engineering program. A course for whichthe grade forgiveness policy has been used is still counted as arepeated course.

2. A course withdrawal or drop is not considered a repeated courseattempt; however, students with excessive course withdrawals ordrops will not be allowed to enroll in any 2000 level or higher engi-neering course until they have met with an academic advisor todetermine what steps are needed to improve the student’s academ-ic performance.

Engineering Grade Forgiveness Policy

1. Under each university’s grade forgiveness policy, an An undergrad-uate engineering student may improve his or her overall GPA byrepeating a course in which a grade of “D” of or “F” was receivedand requesting that the repeat grade be the only one counted in theGPA calculation. Only two such requests are available to an engi-

FAMU-FSU COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING 173


neering student during the student’s undergraduate career. Studentswho violate this policy will not be allowed to enroll in any any2000 level or higher engineering course. A course for which thegrade forgiveness policy has been used is counted as a repeatedcourse.

Engineering Course Prerequisites Policy

1. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the prerequisites of anengineering course prior to enrollment in that course. A studentmay contact the engineering dean or department chair for addi-tional information concerning course prerequisites and this policy.Failure to fulfill course prerequisites may result in the administrativecancellation of enrollment in the course at any time during thesemester with no refund of tuition or fees.

Course Withdrawal/Drop Policy

1. Engineering students who seek to withdraw from or drop a courseshould do so by the end of the seventh week of classes within thecourse withdrawal/drop deadline. An engineering student whodesires to withdraw from or drop a course after the deadline musthave the request evaluated by the College Council of AcademicProgram Coordinators (CAPC) before a decision is rendered by theengineering dean. All requests for a late or retroactive withdraw-al/drop must be made within one calendar year ofsemester of theoriginal course attempt.

Engineering Academic Progress Policy

A student may be dismissed from the engineering program for fail-ing to meet the academic standards set by the College. Students areencouraged to make a strong commitment to their engineering studies bymaking those sacrifices necessary to ensure their academic success.

Engineering Suspension

A student who has more than three repeated courses in violation ofthe COE Repeated Course Attempts policy will be suspended from theengineering program and may not register for additional engineeringcourse work. A suspended student, however, is eligible to apply for read-mission back into the engineering program. The COE Council ofAcademic Program Coordinators (CAPC) will review each readmissionapplication separately. If the student is granted readmission, CAPC willdetermine the conditions the student must satisfy to continue in the engi-neering program.

Engineering Dismissal

Any student who does not meetis in violation of his or her condi-tions for readmission from engineering suspension will be dismissed fromthe engineering program. . A student who has been dismissed by theengineering college is not eligible to continue in the engineering pro-gram. He or she may not register for engineering course work and maynot apply for readmission to engineering.

University Academic Dismissal

An engineering student who has been placed on academic dis-missal may apply for readmission/reinstatement into the engineering pro-gram. The COE Council of Academic Program Coordinators (CAPC) willreview each readmission/reinstatement application separately. If the stu-dent is granted readmission into engineering, CAPC will determine theconditions the student must satisfy to continue in the engineering pro-gram. Any student who is in violation of his or her condition for read-mission will be dismissed from the engineering program.

College of Engineering Council of Academic ProgramCoordinators

The College of Engineering Council of Academic ProgramCoordinators (CAPC) has been assigned the responsibility to ensure thatthese academic requirements are equitably and consistently applied toall engineering students.

Transfer StudentsStudents who plan to enroll in another institution for the first two

years and then transfer into the college should use great care in selectingfreshman and sophomore course work. They should include as manycourses as possible from the engineering core. Students are advised toconsult with the College of Engineering as early as possible concerningtheir first two years of study. In general, a transfer student must satisfy thesame requirements in engineering and related areas as students who takeall their course work at the College of Engineering.

Bachelor of Science DegreeRequirements

A student who has taken a college preparatory curriculum in highschool including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, physics, and chemistryshould be able to complete the requirements for the bachelor of science(BS) degree in four years and one summer with an average load of six-teen (16) hours per semester. In order to satisfy the State UniversitySystem requirement of summer attendance, it is recommended that stu-dents enroll in the summer session at the end of the first year. Studentswho are not prepared to begin with Calculus I (MAC 2311) may need toattend one additional summer session.

The engineering curriculum is made up of four components: gen-eral education, engineering core, required courses in major area, andtechnical electives.

General EducationStudents in the College of Engineering must satisfy the university’s

general education requirements. The university’s general education requirement in mathematics and

the basic sciences are met with the fifteen hours of mathematics, four ormore hours of chemistry, and ten hours of physics (with calculus) listedunder “engineering core courses” below.

To meet certain general education requirements (African Americanhistory, speech and computing, for instance) each department has iden-tified suitable courses for the student to consider as recommendedoptions. Students are therefore advised to obtain up-to-date informationabout these options from their major departments.

Engineering Core CoursesAll graduates of the college must master a common body of knowl-

edge about their profession. This has been addressed by the adoption ofan engineering core for all students seeking the BS in Engineering. Someof these courses may be completed at a community college that offers apre-engineering track; others are only offered within the college.

The engineering core, which consists of basic science, mathemat-ics, and professional courses, ensures that every student is provided witha good background education regardless of his or her option. Therequired courses are listed below:

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

General DescriptionThe vision of the Department of Chemical Engineering as an edu-

cational unit is to be recognized as a place of excellence in fundamentalchemical engineering education and life-long learning, and to maintaina national research leadership in several areas of engineering challenge.To attain this vision, the department realizes that it has to continually sat-isfy its major stakeholders -- students, industrial employers, alumni,departmental faculty, the college, the universities, the community, theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), and otherprofessional societies. The departmental undergraduate committee isresponsible for planning, maintaining, and reviewing its curricula con-tent in accordance with the perceived demands of its stakeholders. Thedepartment chair and the degree program coordinators implement thecurricula as determined by the department curriculum committee, whileconsulting with the faculty as needed.

Chemical engineering encompasses the development, application,and operation of processes in which chemical, biological, and/or physi-cal changes of material are involved. The work of the chemical engineeris to analyze, develop, design, control, construct, and/or supervise chem-ical processes in research and development, pilot-scale operations, andindustrial production. The chemical engineer is employed in the manu-facture of inorganic chemicals (e.g., acids, alkalis, pigments, fertilizers),organic chemicals (e.g., petrochemicals, polymers, fuels, propellants,pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals), biological products (e.g.,enzymes, vaccines, biochemicals, biofuels), and materials (e.g., ceram-ics, polymeric materials, paper, biomaterials).

The undergraduate curriculum emphasizes the application of com-puter analysis in chemical engineering, as well as laboratory instructionin modern, state-of-the-art facilities in the transport phenomena/mea-surements and unit operations laboratories. In order to meet newlydeveloped interests in chemical engineering and related fields, electivecourses are available in bioengineering, polymer engineering, materialsengineering, molecular engineering, electrochemical engineering, envi-ronmental engineering, and biomedical engineering, with additionalcourses under development.

The graduate in chemical engineering is particularly versatile.Industrial work may involve production, operation, research, and devel-opment. Graduate education in medicine, dentistry, and law, as well aschemical engineering, biomedical engineering and other engineeringand scientific disciplines are viable alternatives for the more accom-plished graduate.

Program Educational Objectives. The Department of ChemicalEngineering shall prepare its students for academic and professionalwork through the creation and dissemination of knowledge related to thefield, as well as through the advancement of those practices, methods,and technologies that form the basis of the chemical engineering profes-sion. Accordingly, the Department of Chemical Engineering has identi-fied the following four departmental educational objectives for theBachelor of Science Degree in Chemical Engineering:

1. To educate students in the design and analysis of chemical processes and systems;

2. To train students on issues of product quality, safety, and envi-ronmental impact;

3. To develop student professionalism in the field of chemical engineering through departmental and classroom activities and student involvement in local and national professional organizations; and,

4. To provide educational diversity to meet the needs of emerg-ing sub-fields within chemical engineering and related disci-plines.

Program Outcomes. These objectives are further expanded anddetailed through eleven student outcomes:

a. An ability to apply a knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and chemical engineering (C3.a);

b. An ability to design and conduct experiments, and analyze and interpret data of importance to the design and analysis ofchemical processes (C3.b);

c. An ability to design and analyze new and existing chemical systems and processes to meet desired needs (C3.c);

d. An ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams (C3.d);e. An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering prob-

lems (C3.e);f. An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility

(C3.f);g. An ability to communicate effectively (C3.g);h. The broad education necessary to understand the impact of

engineering solutions in a global and societal context (C3.h);i. An ability to engage in life-long learning (C3.i);j. A knowledge of contemporary issues (C3.j); and,k. An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineer-

ing tools necessary for chemical engineering practice (C3.k).

Note: identifiers beginning with C3, such as C3.a above, refer tospecific outcomes in Criterion 3 of the ABET Engineering Criteria 2000.They indicate the ABET outcome which the Department of ChemicalEngineering outcome addresses.

The department sees ABET Engineering Criteria EC2000 as encour-aging each engineering department to pursue its own unique BS degreeprogram objectives in accordance with its own environment and stake-holder demands. ABET EC2000 also stipulates that the outcomes of pro-gram implementation must be assessed and evaluated regularly, and theresults of such assessments and evaluations must be utilized as needed infuture program objectives and implementation.

Undergraduate Laboratory and ComputationalFacilities. Undergraduate teaching laboratories in measurements, trans-port phenomena, unit operations, and process control are designed toaugment classroom instruction. Our undergraduate chemical engi-neering laboratory experiments feature a 20 stage distillation column for



the study of organic chemical separations, several reactor vessels for thedesign and analysis of continuous reactor configurations, and aliquid/liquid continuous extraction process system, to name a few. Allexperiments include computer data control and computer data acquisi-tion systems in order to provide a real world" experience for our students.

The department has extensive computational and laboratory facili-ties in a number of areas. In addition to the university computing centerfacilities accessible by remote terminals, students have access to Collegeof Engineering computer labs that have either timeshared remote termi-nals using UNIX or desktop personal computers connected to college-wide servers. Within the Department of Chemical Engineering, under-graduate students working on research projects utilize laboratory com-puter terminals connected to the college servers and PCs dedicated toresearch use. The department requires the use of computers for dataacquisition, process control, experimental design, report writing, andhomework problem calculations in the chemical engineering curricu-lum.

Areas of Study (Majors)Five diverse areas of study are offered by the department. These

major options (chemical, environmental, bioengineering, materials, andbiomedical engineering) reflect new directions in the broader field ofchemical engineering.

Chemical. The most common major, it prepares students foremployment or further study in traditional areas of chemical engineering(described above).

Environmental. Chemical engineers will play a pivotal role indeveloping future pollution prevention strategies by improving andreplacing current products and processes. Upcoming efforts will focuson integrating the design and production of goods with their ultimate dis-posal and re-use. Chemical engineers will provide the means to not onlyprevent pollution, but move to the concept of creating a sustainable soci-ety where most products are recycled repeatedly.

Bioengineering. Biochemical engineering is a highly interdiscipli-nary field that has arisen from the application of chemical engineeringprinciples to the production of materials derived from living systems. Anumber of processes and products, including fermentation for makingalcohols and various foods, the efficient use of enzymes for tanningleather, the of bacteria for biological waste treatment, and the productionof antibiotics from mold culture, have been developed and utilized in thepast. Bioengineering combines biochemical engineering with otheraspects of life sciences applied to engineering, such as pharmacologyand biotechnology.

Materials. Chemical engineers have extensively developed andstudied the molecular structures and dynamics of materials-includingsolids, liquids, and gases-in order to develop macroscopic descriptions ofthe behavior of such materials. In turn, these macroscopic descriptionshave allowed the construction and analysis of unit processes that facili-tate desired chemical and physical changes. This constant interplaybetween molecular scale understanding and macroscopic descriptions isunique and central to the field of chemical engineering.

Biomedical Engineering. Biomedical engineering concerns theapplication of chemical engineering principles and practices to largescale living organisms most specifically human beings. As one of thenewest sub-disciplines of chemical engineering, the field is a rapidlyevolving one involving chemical engineers, biochemists, physicians, andother health care professionals. Biomedical research and developmentis carried out at universities, teaching hospitals, and private companies,and it focuses on conceiving new materials and products designed toimprove or restore bodily form or function. Biomedical engineers areemployed in such diverse areas as artificial limb and organ development,genetic engineering research, development of drug delivery systems, andcellular and tissue engineering. A bachelor’s degree will grant entry intoemployment opportunities in biotechnology companies, hospitals andclinics, and governmental research and monitoring laboratories. A bio-medical engineering undergraduate degree provides an excellent back-ground for graduate and/or medical school, especially in view of theincreasing technological complexity of medical education. Today, manychemical engineering professionals are actively engaged in medicalresearch to model living organisms (pharmacokinetic models), and tomake biomedical devices (e.g., drug delivery capsules, synthetic materi-als, and prosthetic devices). Because of increasing interest in this field ofstudy, the major in Biomedical Engineering also attracts students interest-

ed in pursuing a career in medicine, biotechnological patent law, or bio-medical product sales and services.

CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTALENGINEERING

The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering has themission of teaching the fundamentals of civil and environmental engi-neering sciences, analysis, design, and management to enable studentsto assume careers as professional engineers, to conduct basic andapplied research to improve the state of knowledge of civil engineering,to serve as a source of information and advice to the community on engi-neering matters, and to assist in the technology transfer to professionalengineers and other interested individuals in the public and private sec-tor. In performing this mission, the department has a special task to pro-vide opportunities for civil and environmental engineering education forminorities and women.

Opportunities and Facilities. Civil and environmental engineershave a primary role in creating the “built environment” and in the pro-tection of the “natural environment.” They bring together science and arthelp to create much of the tangible fabric of modern society. They plan,design, construct, and operate buildings, highways, airports, pipelines,bridges, dams and levees, irrigation works, water supply system, waste-water treatment systems, and various other components of the built envi-ronment. The scope of civil engineering also includes responsibilities forenvironmental and social impacts, which have taken on greater impor-tance as our society has learned to articulate its concerns about urbanproblems, environmental quality, energy, and improvement of the quali-ty of life. Engineers who wish to specialize in the area of these environ-mental needs are responsible for the design of facilities whose functionsinclude the treatment of drinking water; and disposal, treatment, or reme-diation of sewerage, solid wastes, hazardous wastes, outdoor as well asindoor air pollution. Civil and environmental engineers have the poten-tial to be involved in many of the public work projects funded by feder-al, state, and municipal governments, as well as the private sector.

Instructional equipment includes the MTS structures and materialtesting systems with computer control for data acquisition and analysis;Triaxial, CBR, and shear testing equipment and seismographs for in situand laboratory measurement of engineering properties of soils and rocks;and a self-contained glass-sided tilting flume for investigations of flowphenomena and sediment transport. A complete stand-alone automateddata acquisition and analysis system is available for undergraduate stu-dent laboratory work and research. A fully equipped water quality testinglab as well as portable field-testing kits are used both for classroom teach-ing as well as for student research and design projects.

Students have access to a large number and variety of computer sys-tems. A network is available of nearly 700 computing devices for the aca-demic and research efforts of the college including well equipped, state-of-the-art, high performance computing equipment to pursue transporta-tion related research at the Institute for Transportation Technologies (ITT).The college computers are connected to a high-speed, switched, fiber-optic LAN and to the Internet via the FSU connection to the NSF v BNSnetwork. Desktop computers are supported by a cluster of Sun, DEC, andSCI servers. Other nearby resources include the Supercomputer


Computer Computations Research Institute (SCRI), FAMU ComputingServices, and FSU Academic Computing and Network Services (ACNS).

Programs Offered. The department offers a program of study lead-ing to the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Civil Engineering. Studentsmay choose one of two majors within this degree program. The first is abroad-based B.S. degree in civil engineering emphasizing all aspects ofcivil engineering practice including structural analysis and design, geot-echnical, transportation, hydraulics, water resources, and environmentalengineering. The second is a specialized environmental engineeringmajor which focuses primarily on general environmental engineering,environmental impact, hydraulics, hydrology, water resources, and themanagement of all water systems. The two majors have many of the samecourses in common. (See the undergraduate curriculum and course list-ings in this catalog). Regardless of the major chosen, all students aretaught to apply the latest technology to the solutions of problems in theseareas.

In addition to the B.S. degree, the department offers programs lead-ing to the Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)degrees in engineering. Special areas of emphasis are bridge design,coastal structures, geotextiles, pavements, and soil dynamics; transporta-tion networks and multimodal systems; storm water, water resourcesmanagement, hazardous waste and solid waste management; computeraided design, planning, and decision support. These programs provideareas of concentration in structural, geotechnical, transportation, waterresources, and environmental engineering. Admission requirements andadditional details on both graduate programs are found in the GraduateCatalog.

Through the Bachelor of Science degree program, engineeringdesign criteria established by the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET), are integrated into the undergraduate programs inorder to provide optimal design experiences for students. Faculty mem-bers of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering havecarefully incorporated design components into the curriculum withincreased complexity as students progress toward graduation. Thesedesign components offer opportunities for students to work individuallyand in teams on meaningful engineering design experiences buildingupon the fundamental concepts of mathematics, basic sciences, human-ities, social sciences, engineering topics, and communication skills.Design components help students develop an appreciation for and applythe knowledge of the wide variety of courses they have studied.Consequently, they participate in meaningful solutions and effectivedesign development for practical engineering problems.

Design components are integrated in the curriculum with an even-tual focus on professional practice. For example, design experience isexpanded vertically in the civil engineering curriculum when studentscomplete EGM 3512 Engineering Mechanics, and progress to EGN 3331Strength of Materials, then CES 3100 Structural Analysis. The CGN 4800Pre-Senior Design and Professional Issues, and CGN 4802 Senior DesignSequence along with CES 4702 Concrete Design and CES 4605 SteelDesign allow for culminating design experiences in civil engineering. Amajor in environmental engineering includes ENV 4001 EnvironmentalEngineering which builds on material covered in CWR 3201 Hydraulics,and is followed by CWR 4202 Hydraulic Engineering I and CWR 4101Engineering Hydrology. CGN 4802 Senior Design Project provides sig-nificant, culminating design experiences that are applied to one or twoactual engineering situations for students majoring in either Civil orEnvironmental Engineering.

Department Requirements. Undergraduate students must achievea grade of C- or better in all transfer courses and in all courses that areprerequisites to any required or elective engineering course. In addition,students are required to earn a C- or better in all engineering courses asa graduation requirement. These courses cover the areas of mathematicsand basic design, basic engineering science and design, civil engineer-ing science and design, environmental engineering science and design,limited and technical electives.

All undergraduate students are strongly encouraged to take theFundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam in the civil engineering disciplineduring their senior year.

long learning10. a knowledge of civil and/or environmental engineering issues11. an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineer-

ing tools necessary for engineering practice 12. proficiency in a minimum of four recognized areas within the

civil engineering program

The department uses a regular outcome assessment and programimprovement process in an effort to track down its success in meeting theestablished program educational objectives and the student outcomes, asrequired by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET).

Students are urged to contact their faculty advisor or the departmentacademic advisor for the most current information on the civil and envi-ronmental engineering requirements for the undergraduate and graduateprograms. The curriculum reflects changes due to revised ABET EC2000requirements which are related to (a) students, (b) program educationalobjectives, (c) program outcomes and assessment, (d) professional com-ponents, (e) faculty and (f) facilities and other resources. All students arerequired to see their advisor each semester prior to registration.

Following engineering design criteria established by theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), the civilengineering curricula provide excellent design experiences for students.Faculty of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering care-fully integrate design components in the curriculum with increasingcomplexity as students progress toward graduation. These design com-ponents offer opportunities for students to work individually and in teamson meaningful engineering design experiences building upon the funda-mental concepts of mathematics, basic sciences, humanities, social sci-ences, engineering topics, and oral and written communication skills.Design components in engineering course work help students developan appreciation for and apply the knowledge of the wide variety of cours-es they have studied and the ultimate development of solutions anddesigns for actual applied engineering problems.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERINGThe mission of the Department of Industrial Engineering is to pro-

vide for students a solid industrial engineering curriculum coupled witha strong research program driven by the economic and technologicdevelopment needs of society.

Industrial engineering (IE) provides a broad technical backgroundwith special emphasis on manufacturing systems, computer modeling,costs, quality, management, and human factors. Industrial engineeringdraws upon specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical, phys-ical, and social sciences, together with the principles and methods ofengineering design and analysis, to specify, predict, and evaluate indus-trial systems.

The program of study includes engineering analysis for the opti-mization of industrial systems, design of human-machine systems, andthe scientific management of activities. Specialized training is availablein the use of modern engineering tools and techniques such as comput-er-aided design (CAD), computer integrated manufacturing (CIM), andergonomic (human factors) engineering.

Industrial engineers (IEs) pursue careers in manufacturing, service

industries and government. Many IEs are being employed in nontradi-tional fields such as hospitals, banks, insurance and information process-ing. The present and future demand for IEs appears to be very high. IEsare increasingly being called upon to act as productivity catalysts in man-ufacturing and service organizations to meet regional, national, andinternational demand and competition.

Program Educational Objectives

The BSIE curriculum is designed to comply with the currentAccreditation Board for Engneering and Technology (ABET) criteria foraccrediting engineering programs. The BSIE curriculum has the followingfour educational objectives:

• To educate and train students to have broad technical backgrounds to work as industrial engineers in manufacturing andother industries;

• To provide industrial engineering graduates with sufficient knowledge to continue their studies at the graduate level;

• To prepare students for successful industrial engineering careers in an increasingly multicultural and diverse society; and,

• To provide industrial engineering graduates with teamwork, communication and engineering management skills.

All industrial engineering students must demonstrate or exhibit spe-cific program outcomes. Students are instructed to contact their academ-ic advisor or visit the departmental website at www.ie.eng.fsu.edu toobtain the current list of industrial engineering program educationalobjectives and program outcomes.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING


The bachelor of science (BS) program in the Department ofMechanical Engineering is designed to provide background for a widevariety of careers. The discipline of mechanical engineering is very broad,but generally emphasizes an appropriate mix of thermal science,mechanics and materials, and design. Graduates typically enter variousenergy, aerospace, or product manufacturing industries, or into govern-ment laboratories.

The undergraduate program in mechanical engineering is designedto impart knowledge in basic and engineering sciences, to develop com-munication skills, to recognize economic principles, and to acquire agrasp of contemporary engineering practices. Beyond the basic core cur-riculum, the courses are grouped into four major areas: thermal and fluidsciences, mechanical system sciences, mechanics and materials, andengineering design. The courses in each of these areas emphasize a basicfoundation in the engineering sciences combined with a strong designorientation and extensive laboratory experience. To experience individ-ual creativity, a two-semester senior design project is carried out whichcouples theory and analysis with the physical world. Special emphasis isplaced on communication skills through a rigorous writing of several lab-oratory reports and design project presentations. Computer literacy istested through various courses, and the students are exposed to currentindustrial design software.

The department maintains well-equipped teaching and researchlaboratories in each major area of interest. Included are fluid mechanics,heat transfer, mechanics and materials, vibrations, and robotics laborato-ries. The College of Engineering provides several computer labs runninga variety of standard design and analysis software packages, includingAlgor FEA modules, PTC's Pro/Engineer and Pro/Mechanica,

MSC.Software's Adams and Mathworks MATLAB.

j. An ability to use modern engineering techniques, skills, and computing tools necessary for engineering practice; and

k. Familiarity with statistics and linear algebra.

Five-year combined BS-MS ProgramThe department offers a five-year combined undergraduate-gradu-

ate program leading to the bachelor of science and master of sciencedegrees. The objective of this program is to produce, in five years of full-time study, an engineer who is fully qualified to enter into professionalpractice in industry. Students begin taking core graduate courses in theirfourth year, and defer some undergraduate courses until the fifth yearwhen they complete the remaining graduate course work. This programalso includes a summer internship in industry between the fourth andfifth years.

Admission to the dual degree program is open to juniors who haveattained a GPA of 3.2 in the mechanical engineering curriculum andwhose applications are reviewed by a faculty committee. Applicants are


normally invited in the spring, during the second semester of the student’sjunior year, for fall entry. Details on the curriculum may be obtained fromthe mechanical engineering department office.

The accelerating pace of high-technological developments has cre-ated an ever-increasing demand for highly qualified, professional engi-neers to maintain the high-tech momentum already achieved, and toextend and direct its course. Expanding population and correspondingdemands for new products, structures, designs, and improved serviceshave imposed new challenges to present and future engineers.Accordingly, the College of Engineering, through its curricula, strives toeducate and train engineers to use their scientific knowledge and prob-lem-solving skills to determine the best solution to the problems of todayand the future.

Students who conscientiously apply themselves and successfullycomplete one of the broad engineering programs will be technicallytrained, educated, and well-prepared to make a significant contributionto the world in which they work.

A student enrolling in engineering can pursue any one of severalcareer plans, according to personal ambitions, interest, and abilities. Thestudent may choose the traditional bachelor of science (BS) degree orconsider advanced research-oriented graduate programs leading to themaster of science (MS) and doctor of philosophy (Ph.D.) degrees.

After graduation, an engineer will probably work as a member of ateam solving a problem or designing products or processes. The engi-neer’s responsibility may include many of the following: 1) the concep-tion of the idea, including a careful delineation of the problem; 2) thedesign of the item or process, including operational and productionrequirements; 3) the selection of materials; 4) the determination of mar-kets; 5) the assessment of sociological effects and determination of meth-ods for controlling these effects; 6) the design or selection of machinesfor production; and 7) the control of costs. At the present time, over two-thirds of all the technical positions and a large percentage of the man-agerial positions in industry are occupied by engineers.

History and GoalsThe FAMU-FSU College of Engineering was authorized by the 1982

Legislature as a joint program between Florida A&M University andFlorida State University. The joint nature of the college allows a studentto enroll at either Florida A&M University or Florida State University andreceive a degree in any of the colleges’ programs. A student entering theCollege applies for admission through one of the two universities andmust satisfy the admission and general degree requirements of that uni-versity. The degree is granted by the university where the student is regis-tered while completing upper division studies. All college classroomsand administrative and faculty offices are housed in a modern engineer-ing complex located at 2525 Pottsdamer Street near Innovation Park.

The mission of the college is to provide an innovative academicprogram of excellence. The academic achievements of our graduatesshall match or exceed those of recognized state supported engineeringcolleges.

dents. The college also has a placement office to assist students in obtain-ing permanent employment, internships, and cooperative jobs withemployers nationwide.

Prerequisites to Engineering Courses1. Students must achieve a GPA of 2.5 or better in Calculus I, Calculus

II, Physics I, and Chemistry I prior to enrolling in any 2000 level orabove engineering course for which any of these courses are pre-requisites. A maximum of one repeat of each course is allowed inmeeting this requirement. Students who do not achieve at least aGPA of 2.5 in MAC 2311 Calculus with Analytic Geometry I (4) andEGN 1101L First Year Engineering Laboratory (1) may be directed totake additional academic preparation as determined by the college.

2. Any student who fails to earn a grade of “C” or better in an engi-

157


neering course on the third attempt is subject to dismissal from theengineering program.

3. Any student who exceeds thirty credit hours of repeated coursework is subject to dismissal from the engineering program.

4. Engineering majors must earn a grade of “C” or better in all corecourses. This requirement may be waived by the academic deanupon recommendation of the department chairperson for no morethan two (2) such courses.

5. Normal policy in the college is to allow two reinstatements. A thirdreinstatement may be approved in exceptional circumstances. Anystudent who fails to comply with the agreement approved by thedepartment chairperson following reinstatement or fails to earn acumulative GPA of 2.0 or better upon completion of the term is sub-ject to dismissal from the engineering program.

Transfer StudentsStudents who plan to enroll in another institution for the first two

years and then transfer into the college should use great care in selectingfreshman and sophomore course work. They should include as manycourses as possible from the engineering core. Students are advised toconsult with the College of Engineering as early as possible concerningtheir first two years of study. In general, a transfer student must satisfy thesame requirements in engineering and related areas as students who takeall their course work at the College of Engineering.

Bachelor of Science DegreeRequirements

A student who has taken a college preparatory curriculum in highschool including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, physics, and chemistryshould be able to complete the requirements for the bachelor of science(BS) degree in four years and one summer with an average load of six-teen (16) hours per semester. In order to satisfy the State UniversitySystem requirement of summer attendance, it is recommended that stu-dents enroll in the summer session at the end of the first year. Studentswho are not prepared to begin with Calculus I (MAC 2311) may need toattend one additional summer session.

The engineering curriculum is made up of four components: gen-eral education, engineering core, required courses in major area, andtechnical electives.

General EducationStudents in the College of Engineering must satisfy the university’s

general education requirements. The university’s general education requirement in mathematics and

the basic sciences are met with the fifteen hours of mathematics, four ormore hours of chemistry, and ten hours of physics (with calculus) listedunder “engineering core courses” below.

To meet certain general education requirements (African Americanhistory, speech and computing, for instance) each department has iden-tified suitable courses for the student to consider as recommendedoptions. Students are therefore advised to obtain up-to-date informationabout these options from their major departments.

Engineering Core CoursesAll graduates of the college must master a common body of knowl-

edge about their profession. This has been addressed by the adoption ofan engineering core for all students seeking the BS in Engineering. Someof these courses may be completed at a community college that offers apre-engineering track; others are only offered within the college.

The engineering core, which consists of basic science, mathemat-ics, and professional courses, ensures that every student is provided witha good background education regardless of his or her option. Therequired courses are listed below:

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

General DescriptionChemical engineering encompasses the development, application,


and operation of the processes in which chemical, biological, and/orphysical changes of material are involved. The work of the chemical engi-neer is to analyze, develop, design, control, construct, and/or supervisechemical processes in research and development, pilot-scale operations,and industrial production. The chemical engineer is employed in themanufacture of inorganic chemicals (e.g., acids, alkalis, pigments, fertil-izers), organic chemicals (e.g.., petrochemicals, polymers, fuels, propel-lants, pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals), biological products (e.g.,enzymes, vaccines, biochemicals, befuels), materials (e.g., ceramics,polymers, paper biomaterials).

The undergraduate curriculum emphasizes the application of com-puter analysis in chemical engineering, as well as laboratory instructionin modern, state-of-the-art facilities in the transport phenomena/mea-surements and unit operations laboratories. To meet newly developedinterests in chemical engineering and related fields, elective courses areavailable in bioengineering, polymer engineering, chemical-materialsengineering molecular engineering, chemical-environmental engineer-ing, and electrochemical engineering with additional courses underdevelopment.

Four diverse areas of study complementing the normal curriculumtrack in chemical engineering are offered by the department. Thesemajor options (environmental, bioengineering, biomedical engineeringand materials) reflect new directions in the broader field of chemicalengineering.

Environmental. Chemical engineers will play a pivotal role indeveloping future pollution prevention strategies by improving andreplacing current products and processes. Upcoming efforts will focuson integrating the design and production of goods with their ultimate dis-posal and reuse. Chemical engineers will provide the means to not onlyprevent pollution, but move to the concept of creating a sustainable soci-ety where most products are recycled repeatedly.

Bioengineering. Biochemical engineering is a highly interdiscipli-nary field that has arisen from the application of chemical engineeringprinciples to the production of materials derived from living systems. Anumber of processes and products, including fermentation for makingalcohols and various foods, the efficient use of enzymes for tanningleather, the of bacteria for biological waste treatment, and the productionof antibiotics from mold culture, have been developed and utilized in thepast.

Biomedical Engineering. Biomedical engineering concerns theapplication of chemical engineering principles and practices to largescale living organisms most specifically human beings. As one of thenewest subdisciplines of chemical engineering, the field is a rapidlyevolving one involving chemical engineers, biochemists, physicians, andother health care professionals. Biomedical research and developmentis carried out at universities, teaching hospitals, and private companies,and it focuses on conceiving new materials and products designed toimprove or restore bodily form or function.

Materials. Chemical engineers have extensively developed andstudied the molecular structures and dynamics of materials-includingsolids, liquids, and gases-in order to develop macroscopic descriptions ofthe behavior of such materials. In turn, these macroscopic descriptionshave allowed the construction and analysis of unit processes that facili-tate desired chemical and physical changes. This constant interplaybetween molecular scale understanding and macroscopic descriptions isunique and central to the field of chemical engineering.

The graduate in chemical engineering is particularly versatile.Industrial work may involve production, operation, research, and devel-opment. Graduate education in medicine, dentistry, business, and law, aswell as chemical engineering and other engineering disciplines, areviable alternatives for the more accomplished graduate.

CIVIL ENGINEERINGThe Department of Civil Engineering has the mission of teaching the

fundamentals of civil and environmental engineering sciences, analysis,design, and management to enable students to assume careers as profes-sional engineers, to conduct basic and applied research to improve thestate of knowledge of civil engineering, to serve as a source of informa-tion and advice to the community on engineering matters, and to assistin the technology transfer to professional engineers and other interestedindividuals in the public and private sector. In performing this mission,the department has a special task to provide opportunities for civil andenvironmental engineering education for minorities and women.

Opportunities and Facilities. Civil engineers have a primary role increating the “built environment” and in the protection of the “naturalenvironment.” They bring together science and art help to create much ofthe tangible fabric of modern society. They plan, design, construct, andoperate buildings, highways, airports, pipelines, bridges, dams and lev-ees, irrigation works, water supply system, wastewater treatment systems,


and various other components of the built environment. The scope ofcivil engineering also includes responsibilities for environmental andsocial impacts, which have taken on greater importance as our societyhas learned to articulate its concerns about urban problems, environ-mental quality, energy, and improvement of the quality of life. Engineerswho wish to specialize in the area of these environmental needs areresponsible for the design of facilities whose functions include the treat-ment of drinking water; and disposal, treatment, or remediation of sew-erage, solid wastes, hazardous wastes, outdoor as well as indoor air pol-lution. Civil and environmental engineers have the potential to beinvolved in many of the public work projects funded by federal, state,and municipal governments, as well as the private sector.

Instructional equipment includes the MTS structures and materialtesting systems with computer control for data acquisition and analysis;Triaxial, CBR, and shear testing equipment and seismographs for in situand laboratory measurement of engineering properties of soils and rocks;and a self-contained glass-sided tilting flume for investigations of flowphenomena and sediment transport. A complete stand-alone automateddata acquisition and analysis system is available for undergraduate stu-dent laboratory work and research. A fully equipped water quality testinglab as well as portable field-testing kits are used both for classroom teach-ing as well as for student research and design projects.

Students have access to a large number and variety of computer sys-tems. A network is available of nearly 700 computing devices for the aca-demic and research efforts of the college including well equipped, state-of-the-art, high performance computing equipment to pursue transporta-tion related research at the Institute for Transportation Technologies (ITT).The college computers are connected to a high-speed, switched, fiber-optic LAN and to the Internet via the FSU connection to the NSF v BNSnetwork. Desktop computers are supported by a cluster of Sun, DEC, andSCI servers. Other nearby resources include the SupercomputerComputer Computations Research Institute (SCRI), FAMU ComputingServices, and FSU Academic Computing and Network Services (ACNS).

Programs Offered. The department offers a program of study lead-ing to the Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Civil Engineering. Studentsmay choose one of two majors within this degree program. The first is abroad-based B.S. degree in civil engineering emphasizing all aspects ofcivil engineering practice including structural analysis and design, geot-echnical, transportation, hydraulics, water resources, and environmentalengineering. The second is a specialized environmental engineeringmajor which focuses primarily on general environmental engineering,environmental impact, hydraulics, hydrology, water resources, and themanagement of all water systems. The two majors have many of the samecourses in common. (See the undergraduate curriculum and course list-ings in this catalog). Regardless of the major chosen, all students aretaught to apply the latest technology to the solutions of problems in theseareas.

In addition to the B.S. degree, the department offers programs lead-ing to the Master of Science (M.S.) and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.)degrees in engineering. Special areas of emphasis are bridge design,coastal structures, geotextiles, pavements, and soil dynamics; transporta-tion networks and multimodal systems; storm water, water resourcesmanagement, hazardous waste and solid waste management; computeraided design, planning, and decision support. These programs provideareas of concentration in structural, geotechnical, transportation, waterresources, and environmental engineering. Admission requirements andadditional details on both graduate programs are found in the GraduateCatalog.

Through the Bachelor of Science degree program, engineeringdesign criteria established by the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET), are integrated into the undergraduate programs inorder to provide optimal design experiences for students. Faculty mem-bers of the Civil Engineering Department have carefully incorporateddesign components into the curriculum with increased complexity as stu-dents progress toward graduation. These design components offer oppor-tunities for students to work individually and in teams on meaningfulengineering design experiences building upon the fundamental conceptsof mathematics, basic sciences, humanities, social sciences, engineeringtopics, and communication skills. Design components help studentsdevelop an appreciation for and apply the knowledge of the wide vari-ety of courses they have studied. Consequently, they participate in mean-ingful solutions and effective design development for practical engineer-ing problems.

Design components are integrated in the curriculum with an even-tual focus on professional practice. For example, design experience is

expanded vertically in the civil engineering curriculum when studentscomplete EGN 3311 Civil Engineering Mechanics, and progress to EGN3331 Strength of Materials, then CES 3100 Structural Analysis. TheSenior Design course along with CES 4702 Concrete Design and CES4605 Steel Design allow for culminating design experiences in civil engi-neering. A major in environmental engineering includes ENV 4001Environmental Engineering which builds on material covered in CWR3201 Hydraulics, and is followed by CWR 4202 Hydraulic EngineeringI and CWR 4101 Engineering Hydrology. CGN 4802 Senior DesignProject provides significant, culminating design experiences that areapplied to one or two actual engineering situations for students majoringin either Civil or Environmental Engineering.

Department Requirements. Undergraduate students must achievea grade of C or better in all transfer courses and in all courses that are pre-requisites to any required or elective engineering course. In addition, stu-dents are required to earn a C or better in all engineering courses as agraduation requirement. These courses cover the areas of mathematicsand basic design, basic engineering science and design, civil engineer-ing science and design, environmental engineering science and design,limited and technical electives. All undergraduate students must take theFundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam as a degree requirement and areencouraged to take the civil discipline exam during their senior year.GEN 4802, Senior Design Project is a CGN required course.

ABET/EC2000 Requirements At the time of this printing the BSCE Curriculum is being reviewed

to meet new ABET EC2000 requirements which go into effect in the year2000. Students are advised to obtain the latest requirements from theiradvisor. These requirements may also be viewed at our website atwww.eng.fsu.edu.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERINGDescription: The Department of Electrical and Computer

Engineering offers bachelor of science (BS) degrees in electrical and com-puter engineering.

Computer engineering is concerned with the design and develop-ment of hardware and software for electronic computing devices.Reflecting the industry trend to integrate hardware and software devel-opment, the computer engineering program is designed to be a combi-nation of hardware-oriented electrical engineering program and soft-ware-oriented computer science program. The blend of hardware andsoftware allows for many and varied opportunities, from the integratedcircuit chip level, to the system and network levels.

Computer engineering students take courses in various aspects ofcomputer design including advanced digital circuit design, microproces-sor-based system design, computer architecture, operating systems, andcomputer networks. Advanced topics in this field include applicationspecific integrated circuit (ASIC) design, fault-tolerant system design, par-allel processing, and multiprocessor architectures.

Electrical engineering is concerned with the application of electri-cal and related sciences including magnetism, electronics, and optics forthe benefit of society. It involves design, development and implementa-tion of a vast variety of devices, circuits, and systems that are used inelectrical power generation and distribution, machine and process con-trol, terrestrial and satellite communications (telephone, radio and tele-vision), computers, information processing, speech recognition, radar,lasers, sensors and other applications. This very broad field affects allaspects of modern society, particularly in this age of information pro-cessing, communication, automation and computers.

The rapid evolution of electrical and electronic technology createsconstant change in this discipline. This, in turn, requires a solid founda-tion of science and mathematics, combined with fundamental engineer-ing sciences and electrical engineering design skills, to provide the stu-dents with the ability to professionally develop and adapt during a life-time career. The engineering core courses and the required electricalengineering courses provide this foundation of knowledge and engineer-ing skills.

Electrical engineering technical electives provide the student anopportunity to achieve a greater breath of knowledge and some degreeof specialization in selected areas of special interest. Electives are offeredin computer engineering and the following five application areas:

1. Microelectronics deals with all aspects of (primarily solid-state)electronic devices, the analysis and design of analog and digital cir-cuits, their implementation and fabrication using microelectronictechniques, and their application in a wide variety of system;

2. Digital signal processing and control systems concentrate on thedesign and analysis of systems in which discrete and continuoussignals are used for conveying information and controlling physicalsystems and processes. Included are the encoding, decoding, andrepresentation of information in both the time and frequencydomain;

3. Communications is concerned with the preparation, transmission,and reception of encoded information via media ranging from wiresto fiber optic cables and space. Included are topics such as AM,FM, and pulse modulation techniques; telecommunication systems;satellite telemetry; and computer networks;

4. Electromagnetics in the broadest sense is the study of the relation-ship between electric current, electric and magnetic fields, andtheir interactions. It is the foundation of electrical and electronictechnology. The practical applications of this theory include thedesign of antennas, transmission lines, motors and electrical powergenerating and distribution equipment, microwave and opticaltransmission facilities, and radar;

5. Power systems engineering is concerned with the design and oper-ation of electric power generation, transmission, and distribution foran increasing customer demand. It involves the modeling, analy-

sis, and design of power system components including power trans-formers, electric motors, synchronous generators, and high voltagepower transmission and distribution networks. Power system engi-neering also includes: the investigation of alternative methods forgenerating electrical energy, the control and reliability of complexpower networks, power quality, economic factors, and environ-mental effects.

The department maintains well-equipped, dedicated teaching facil-ities for each required laboratory course and research laboratories ineach major area of interest. Included are optical and microwave labora-tories, power systems laboratories, parallel computing and communica-tions simulation laboratories, and computer engineering and microelec-tronic design facilities. The department also has access to a large num-ber of personal computers, advanced workstations, and specialized CADsystems. Open-access facilities are also available for electrical engineer-ing design projects and preparation of technical documentation.

Honors in the MajorThe Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers an

honors program to encourage the talented student to extend his or herundergraduate experience by participating in directed or independentresearch on a topic relative to electrical engineering that is not includedin the regular curriculum. The honors student works with a committee ofthree faculty members on a study. The project results in an honors thesis,a thesis defense, and report suitable for publication. Successful comple-tion of the project results in six (6) honors credits in place of three (3)required and three (3) technical elective credits, as well as the distinctionof graduating with honors in electrical engineering. Information regard-ing admission requirements to the honors program can be obtained fromthe departmental office.

Grade RequirementsIn addition to University requirements regarding grades and grade

point average (GPA), college policy requires that students earn a grade inthe range of ”C“ or better in all engineering courses and engineering corecourses applied toward the degree, and requires a GPA of 2.5 on a spec-ified set of the engineering core courses.

A student must receive a satisfactory grade according to the aboverequirements in all prerequisites to a course with an EEL prefix prior toenrolling in the EEL course. Concurrent registration in an EEL course andits prerequisite(s) is not allowed. Failure to abide by this policy can resultin the cancellation of enrollment in the class at any time during thesemester with no refund of fees. Corequisites of an EEL course must betaken concurrently or prior to enrolling in the EEL course. As a matter ofdepartmental policy to provide equity for FAMU and FSU students, ”+/-”grades are not used for any elective engineering courses.

Any student who fails to earn a grade in the range of “C” or betterin an electrical engineering course on the third attempt or withdrawsfrom the course more than twice, is subject to dismissal from the electri-cal and computer engineering department.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERINGIndustrial engineering (IE) provides a broad technical background

with special emphasis on productivity, costs, quality, and human factorsin production and other systems. IE draws upon specialized knowledgeand skills in mathematical, physical, and social sciences, together withthe principles and methods of engineering design and analysis, to speci-fy, predict, and evaluate industrial systems.

A program of study is offered to all students through a carefullydesigned curriculum which includes engineering analysis for the opti-mization of industrial systems, design of man-machine systems, and sci-entific management of activities. Specialized training is available in theuse of modern engineering tools and techniques, such as computerassisted design (CAD), computer integrated manufacturing (CIM),ergonomic (human factors) engineering, automation, and robotics.

Industrial engineers (IEs) pursue careers in manufacturing, trans-portation, and government. In addition, many IEs are now beingemployed in nontraditional fields, such as hospitals, banks, insurance,and information processing. The present and future demand for industri-al engineers appears to be very high. Industrial engineers (IEs) areincreasingly being called upon to act as productivity catalysts in manu-facturing and service organizations to meet regional, national, and inter-national competition.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERINGThe bachelor of science (BS) program in the Department of

Mechanical Engineering is designed to provide background for a widevariety of careers. The discipline of mechanical engineering is verybroad, but generally emphasizes an appropriate mix of thermal science,mechanics and materials, and design. Graduates with a BS degree typi-cally enter into various energy, aerospace, or product manufacturingindustries or into government laboratories.

The undergraduate program in mechanical engineering is designedto impart knowledge in basic and engineering sciences, to develop com-munication skills, to recognize economic principles, and to acquire agrasp of contemporary engineering practices. Beyond the basic core cur-riculum, the courses are grouped into two major areas: thermal and fluidsciences and mechanical system sciences. Courses in each of these areasemphasize a basic foundation in the engineering sciences, combinedwith a strong design orientation and extensive laboratory experience. Toexperience individual creativity, a senior design project is carried out,which couples theory and analysis with the physical world. Specialemphasis is placed on communication skills through a rigorous trainingof writing laboratory reports and design project presentations. Computerliteracy is tested through various courses, and the student is exposed tocurrent industrial design software. For the student interested in aerospacerelated fields, special elective courses are available.

The department maintains a well-equipped teaching and researchlaboratory in each major area of interest. Included are fluid mechanics,heat transfer, mechanics and materials, vibrations and robotics laborato-ries. A Computer Aided Design laboratory provides computer hardwarecapable of supporting several standard design software packages, includ-ing ICM GMS, ICM LYNX2/IMP, AutoCad, SilverScreen, several ALGOLFEA modules and Parametric Technologies ProEngineer.

Revised CurriculumThe Department of Mechanical Engineering has revised its curricu-

lum with the shift in emphasis from an essentially topic-based curriculumto an integrated curriculum. Key features include the integration of engi-neering design with engineering science, introduction to engineeringdesign at an early stage in the curriculum, and the use of cooperativelearning methodologies. The revised curriculum covers effectively thesame material as the old curriculum and requires approximately thesame credit hours of instruction. The revisions in the curriculum are inkeeping with current trends in engineering education, industry expecta-tions and needs.

ABET/EC2000 RequirementsAt the time of this printing the BSME Curriculum is being reviewed

to meet new ABET EC2000 requirements which go into effect in the year2000. Students are advised to obtain the latest requirements from theiradvisor. These requirements may also be viewed at our website atwww.me.eng.fsu.edu/me.

Five-year combined BS-MS ProgramThe Department offers a five-year combined undergraduate-gradu-

ate program leading to the bachelor of science and master of sciencedegrees. The objective of this program is to produce, in five years of full-time study, an engineer who is fully qualified to enter into professionalpractice in industry. Students begin taking core graduate courses in theirfourth year and defer some undergraduate courses to the fifth year wherethey complete the remaining graduate course work. This program alsoincludes a summer internship in industry between the fourth and fifthyears.

Admission to the dual degree program is open to Juniors who haveattained a GPA of 3.2 in the Mechanical Engineering curriculum andwhose applications are reviewed by a faculty committee. Applicants arenormally invited in the Spring, during the second semester of the stu-dent’s junior year, for fall entry. Details on the curriculum may beobtained from the Mechanical Engineering Department Office.

The School of Allied Health Sciences is one of three health profes-sional schools at The Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University. Theschool was established in recognition of the need to provide access to qual-ity education in a group of rapidly growing health professions—cardiopul-monary sciences, health care management, health information manage-ment, occupational therapy, and physical therapy. The objectives of theSchool of Allied Health Sciences are as follows:

1. To produce highly trained professionals who are qualified to assumeleadership roles in their particular disciplines and who possess the po-tential to become proficient in the areas of academics and clinicalinstruction, supervision, and administration.

2. To provide an environment in which students may develop theirfullest potential toward the realization of vocational aspirations inselected allied health professions.

3. To inspire a thirst for the creation, understanding, transmission, andutilization of basic and new knowledge related to health care deliv-ery.

4. To promote respect for the rights and dignity of mankind, dedicationto the furtherance of humanitarian principles of health preservation,and a sense of responsibility for the advancement of professionalhealth care.

5. To maximize the interrelatedness of programs in allied health throughinnovative approaches to the education of health professionals.

6. To provide access to allied health educational programs for qualifiedindividuals in Florida, the southern region, and the nation.

7. To foster a commitment to continued personal and professional devel-opment for self-realization and responsible citizenship.

The School of Allied Health Sciences is organized into five divisions,through which degree programs are offered. The Division of PhysicalTherapy offers the Master of Physical Therapy degree and the Division ofHealth Care Management offers degrees at both the Master’s andBaccalaureate levels. The remaining three divisions, CardiopulmonarySciences, Health Information Management and Occupational Therapy offerdegrees at the baccalaureate level. Additionally, the School of Allied HealthSciences offers a baccalaureate degree in Health Sciences which allowsstudents to graduate as generalists, prepared to enter the health care workforce immediately. The Health Sciences degree also serves as a feeder pro-gram for the graduate degree programs offered by the School.

For undergraduate applicants, the pre-professional curriculum refersto those courses needed to complete the general education requirements ofthe University, as well as courses required as prerequisites to the profes-sional program content. For applicants to one of the graduate programs, acompleted baccalaureate degree is required as well as courses identified asprerequisites to the graduate program content.

Completion of pre-professional courses does not guarantee admis-sion to the professional divisions.

The professional curriculum is composed of all courses and clinicalexperiences required to satisfy specific program requirements for gradua-tion. Undergraduate students must earn a minimum grade of “C” in allrequired courses. Graduate students must maintain a “B” average (3.0GPA).* Curriculum development is an ongoing process designed to keeppace with an ever-changing society and profession.** Upon completion ofcurricula in the Programs of Cardiopulmonary Sciences, HealthAdministration, Health Care Management, Health InformationManagement, Health Sciences, Occupational Therapy, or Physical Therapy,a student will receive the designated undergraduate or graduate degree inthe respective discipline.

*Please consult the section on the “School of Graduate Studies andResearch” and the Graduate Student Handbook for progression require-ments.

**The school may implement curricular changes which are requirednot only of incoming students, but also for currently enrolled matricu-lants.

Admissions QualificationsThe School of Allied Health Sciences is comprised of five profession-

al programs and one generalist program. Admission to the professional programs in the School of Allied Health

Sciences is a two-step process. Undergraduate applicants must first beaccepted by the university and then must apply for admission to the pro-fessional division of his or her choice. Admission to the university does notguarantee acceptance into any of the professional divisions. Graduate levelapplicants must submit an application to the professional division as wellas to the School of Graduate Studies and Research. The requirements andprocedures necessary for admission to the university are outlined under theheading Special Admissions, Requirements of Colleges and Schools.

A student seeking admission to a professional division in the Schoolof Allied Health Sciences must have completed all admission requirementsby the designated deadlines, as prescribed by each division.

Admission to a professional division in the School of Allied Sciencesis based on an applicant’s selection by the appropriate admissions com-mittee. Selection will be based on the evaluation of a number of factorssuch as, the student’s overall grade point average, grade point average inrequired science courses, work experiences, grade trends, leadership activ-ities, demand for manpower, and mission of the university. A personalinterview may be required. The Occupational Therapy Division will dis-continue the undergraduate program in Fall 2003, pending approval of anew post-baccalaureate curriculum. It is anticipated that the last B.S.O.T.degree will be conferred in August, 2006.

PoliciesDress Code—The student is required to adhere to a dress code, as

determined by each of the divisions of the school. Faculty members willenforce this code in the classroom and laboratory and during clinical expe-riences, as an integral part of professional socialization of health profes-sionals. The student has a responsibility to adhere to the dress code of othercolleges and schools where appropriate.

Sequence of Courses—The student is expected to enroll in and com-plete courses in sequence, adhering at each point to all prerequisites. It isessential, then, that the student keep up with the progression of his or hercourse of study in order to stay in proper sequence to complete require-ments on schedule. No student is allowed to take courses out of sequenceor without completing prerequisites; nor is the student permitted to enrollin an advanced level of sequential courses without having completed thelower level course(s). Any exceptions to the rules above must be approvedby the division director and the dean.

Advisors—Advisement is a continuous and active process in theSchool of Allied Health Sciences. Each student is assigned to a facultymember for advisement on matters relative to the student’s academic pro-gram and professional activities. The faculty advisor should be the student’sfirst line of communication in addressing academic, professional, and/orother perceived problems. The advisor will maintain a record of advise-ment activities for each student.

Appeal and Academic Grievances—Any decision affecting the statusof applicants for admission or students enrolled in any School of AlliedHealth Sciences program may be appealed. Procedures for appeals andgrievances are available in the office of the Dean.

Clinical Experiences—The five professional divisions in the School ofAllied Health Sciences have as part of their academic requirements a clin-ical experience in their particular discipline. The experiences vary in lengthand frequently occur away from the university site in Tallahassee. By titleand function, a faculty member in each division coordinates clinical expe-riences. Each student is expected to assume responsibility for costs associ-ated with clinical experiences.

Immunization-To qualify for admission to School of Allied HealthSciences programs all students must submit documentation proving immu-nization against rubeola and rubella. Please call the Student Health Center(Clinic) at (850) 599-3777. No student will be allowed to register until thisdocumentation has been submitted. All students in the Cardiopulmonary

School of Allied Health Sciences

SCHOOL OF ALLIED HEALTH SCIENCES 199

Sciences, Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy programs must haveproof of prior vaccination, immunity to, or be vaccinated for Hepatitis B attheir own expense prior to the time of enrollment.

Graduation Competency—The School of Allied Health Sciencesadministration and faculty recognize their responsibility to graduate onlythe student whom they judge to be ready to accept the challenges of theallied health professions academically, ethically, and professionally.Consequently, the dean of the School of the Allied Health Sciences, uponrecommendation of the faculty of the respective division, reserves the rightto withhold the recommendation for graduation of any student who doesnot conform to these expectations.

DIVISION OF OCCUPATIONALTHERAPY

Occupational Therapy is a health profession that focuses on theredesign of daily occupations across the lifespan. Occupational thera-py practitioners restore, reinforce, and enhance skills and functionsthat are essential to an individual’s ability to maximize their indepen-dent living, and adapt and function within their environments. Criticalto the profession is quality of life and the promotion and maintenanceof health.

Faculty

Associate Professor: Bolden, Jacquelyn Anderson; Hinds, Maria;Assistant Professor: Hattjar, Bernadette; Tribble, Susan

Curriculum—The design of the professional program consists ofsix (6) semesters. Courses are scheduled and designed to be complet-ed in sequence and on a full-time basis. The curriculum is designed tointegrate concepts and principles of human development, anatomy,

neuroanatomy, physiology, and kinesiology into various therapeuticmodalities to effectively impact on the quality of participation in occu-pations across the lifespan. Small class sizes increase the quality of thehands-on experiences, observations, and interactions within the class-room. Graduates are prepared to provide holistic habilitative/rehabili-tative occupational therapy services to enhance the overall quality ofperformance of daily activities. The Division is currently transitioninginto an entry-level Master program. Students will not be admitted intothe undergraduate program after July of 2004.

A Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy is conferredupon students who successfully complete the four (4) year program.Graduates are then eligible to apply for examination by the NationalBoard of Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT). Applicantsare certified as “registered” therapists upon successful completion ofthe examination. A license to practice is required and offered by moststates that regulate the practice of occupational therapy.

Accreditation Status—The Occupational Therapy Program isaccredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational TherapyEducation (ACOTE) of the American Occupational Therapy Association(AOTA), located at 4720 Montgomery Lane, P.O. Box 31220,Bethesda, MD 20824-1220, 301-652-2682.

Clinical Experiences—Students are assigned to observe and toprovide occupational therapy services within a variety of traditionaland non-traditional environments. The primary objective is placementwith focus on the increase of student’s experiences across the lifespan.Therefore, students may not be placed in or near to their hometowns,and may, for “level II” experiences, have to travel a significant distanceaway from the Tallahassee area at their own expense. The curriculumis designed to expose students to two (2) types of clinical experiences(a minimum of 480 hours).

Pre-Professional Curriculum—The following course work, orequivalent courses must be completed prior to entering the division asa major in occupational therapy. General education requirements areincluded in the pre-professional curriculum.

*appropriately approved

NOTE: The legislative body of the American Occupational TherapyAssociation (AOTA )has mandated that, by January, 2007, all occupa-tional therapy programs must discontinue undergraduate education asthe point of entry into the profession. To meet this mandate theDivision of Occupational Therapy will transition from baccalaureate topost-baccalaureate by Fall, 2004. For students who transfer after thefreshman year or those who may desire an undergraduate degree inaddition to the MSOT degree, a concentration in occupational thera-py will be offered in the Division of Health Sciences.

HEALTH SCIENCES

The School o Allied Health Sciences offers a course of study that leadsto the degree Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences. The Health Sciencecurriculum is designed to produce graduates capable of demonstratingthose characteristics identified as desirable by employers of tomorrow’shealth care professionals.

The student majoring in Health Sciences graduates with a generaldegree that will allow that graduate to work in a health care setting or con-tinue on to graduate school. In the future, the Health Sciences student willalso have the option of choosing specialized tracks within the HealthSciences program that will occur primarily during the junior and senioryears.

Currently, the Health Sciences major includes all of the courses

required for entry into the physical therapy graduate program. Therefore,it is recommended that students interested in majoring in physical thera-py at the graduate level should major in Health Sciences at the under-graduate level. The Health Sciences major will offer a concentration inoccupational therapy to those students who want to earn both an under-graduate (in process) and post baccalaureate (MSOT) degree or who havetransferred into the university after the freshman or sophomore year. Tocomplete the prerequisites for admission into the post-baccalaureate pro-gram and all requirements for an undergraduate degree in Health Sciences(occupational therapy concentration), it will be likely that courses will needto be taken in summer sessions. The Health Sciences degree also providesthe basis for students to pursue graduate education in other health care andscience-oriented arenas. The Health Sciences degree is suitable for studentswishing to pursue and graduate with general health-related knowledge tobe used as the basis for work in a health-care setting. Additionally, studentswho already have an Associate of Arts (AA) degree who wish to pursue aBachelor of Science degree and return to work in a related health arenasuch as physical therapist assistant or occupational therapy assistant wouldbenefit from the Health Sciences degree. The degree is also useful for lowerdivision pre-professional students who completed the necessary prerequi-site courses for a professional program but were not accepted into that pro-gram. With the Health Sciences degree, such students are still able to grad-uate in a health-related arena.

AccreditationIn the United States, most state registration boards require a degree

from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licen-sure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is thesole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs inarchitecture, recognizes two types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architectureand the Master of Architecture. A program may be granted a five-year,three-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on its degree ofconformance with established educational standards. Master’s degree pro-grams may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and a pro-fessional graduate degree, which, when earned sequentially, comprise anaccredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degreeis not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.

The School of Architecture offers the National ArchitecturalAccrediting Board (NAAB) accredited Bachelor and Master of Architecturedegrees as well as the pre- and post-professional Bachelor of Science inArchitectural Studies and the Master of Science in Architectural Studiesdegrees. The four-year pre-professional Bachelor of Science ArchitecturalStudies (B.S.) degree of the FAMU School of Architecture is not accreditedby NAAB. This pre-professional degree is preparation for either continuededucation in the professional degree programs or, secondarily, for employ-ment options in architecturally related areas. The Bachelor of Architecture(B.Arch.), which requires a minimum of five years of study, and the Masterof Architecture (M. Arch.), which requires a minimum of two years of study,follow a related pre-professional bachelor’s degree. The professionaldegrees are structured to educate those who aspire to architectural regis-tration/ licensure.

Degree Programs The School of Architecture offers professional and pre-professional

programs at the graduate and undergraduate levels. The professional pro-gram confers an accredited Bachelor of Architecture or an accreditedMaster of Architecture degree. The successful completion of either degreequalifies the graduate to pursue licensure as a registered professional archi-tect.

A. Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies (B.S.): The pre-pro-fessional program leads to a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies.It is divided into pre-architecture (years one and two or lower division) andarchitecture (years three and four or upper division). The curriculum for theB.S. program provides a basic education in architecture and the built envi-ronment and includes requirements in mathematics, physics, social sci-ences, and humanities. Course sequences in architecture include archi-tectural design, history and theory, structures, environmental technology,and materials and methods of construction. This degree establishes basiceligibility for the two-year professional Master of Architecture degree.

Freshman Admission - In addition to the university requirementsfor admission, a freshman who wishes to be considered as an archi-tecture major must have achieved a minimum GPA of 2.50 in acad-emic course work and a 900 on the SAT, or 1010 on SAT1, or 21 onthe E/ACT. Applicants with lower scores may be considered on aspace-available basis. The university admits qualified applicants tothe pre-architecture program of the Bachelor of Science inArchitectural Studies program.

Admission to the Upper Division of the Architecture Program -All students from Florida A&M University, Florida community col-leges, or other lower-division pre-architecture programs, must applyfor admission to the upper-division program. Each applicant is eval-uated individually. The eligibility requirements include an overall2.50 GPA, a minimum 2.50 GPA in all architecture courses, com-pletion of all lower-division courses, and the CLAST. Previouslyearned college credit may be transferred if equivalent courses areoffered at Florida A&M and the student has earned a grade of “C” orbetter. All previous design work is also evaluated for admission toupper division.

No credit for architecture course work will be granted if it wascompleted at a vocational-technical school or institute. If appropriate,other course work may be used toward general education require-ments or elective credits. Applicants must send curricula and coursedescriptions to the School of Architecture for evaluation. Only thosetransfer applicants who have received an Associate of Arts degreefrom a pre-architecture program with approved articulation will beconsidered for direct admission at the third-year level. Others whowish to begin the study of architecture must consult the Coordinatorof Recruitment and Retention in the School of Architecture.

B. Bachelor of Architecture (professionally accredited program): TheBachelor of Architecture (B.Arch.) program is designed to prepare studentsfor the traditional practice of architecture and focuses on key areas of fun-damental professional competence such as design, practice, and technol-ogy. The B.Arch. involves in-depth instruction in programming, the prepa-ration of a program report, and the design of a terminal project. There isalso a B.Arch. distance learning option for professionals with extensiver in-field experience and/or architects licensed in other states and seeking aprofessional degree in Florida.

Admission to the Professional Bachelor of Architecture ProgramAt the fourth-year level, the student’s progress is reviewed foradvancement to the fifth year. To advance, a GPA of 2.75 in all upper-division course work is required as well as completion of all coursesin the first four years of the program. A review of prior design workis also required for admission. At the successful completion of thefifth year, the student receives, by faculty vote, the professionalBachelor of Architecture degree. Students may transfer into the fifth-year program from other schools if they meet the requirements andhave successfully completed the equivalent of FAMU’s Bachelor ofScience in Architectural Studies degree.

Students in the fourth year also have the option of applying forthe Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studies degree. This degreeestablishes basic eligibility for the two-year professional Master ofArchitecture degree. For additional information, refer to theUniversity Graduate Catalog and School of Architecture GraduateHandbook.

C. Master of Architecture (professionally accredited program): TheMaster of Architecture (M.Arch.) degree program is designed for a studentwith a four-year, non-accredited degree in architecture who wishes to earnan advanced professional accredited degree which also qualifies him orher to pursue the license to practice. The M.Arch. is also offered as a firstprofessional degree for students entering with a bachelor’s degree in a non-related field. The program prepares the student to practice architecture andprovides opportunities to acquire additional skills in areas of specializationin the School. The Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) is intended to preparestudents for leadership roles in the profession. Emphasis is placed uponstudent freedom to pursue an investigation of personal interest consistingof in-depth inquiry into design and practice issues.

Admission to the Professional Master of Architecture Program -To be admitted to this degree program, applicants must have aBachelor of Science in Architectural Studies or an equivalent degree.Applicants with an equivalent degree who are missing course workin areas covered by the Bachelor of Science in Architectural Studiesat Florida A&M University may be required to add this course workto the Master of Architecture requirements. A 3.00 GPA in the last 60hours of course work or a combined score of 1000 on the GRE anda portfolio are also required.

D. Master of Landscape Architecture: The Master of LandscapeArchitecture (MLA) program is offered as a first professional graduatedegree for students entering with non-design backgrounds. The curriculumrequires a total of 90 credit hours, which includes completion of a termi-nal thesis. The MLA is also offered as a second professional degree to stu-dents holding previous design degrees from the fields of landscape archi-tecture or architecture. A total of 60 credit hours, which includes a termi-nal thesis, is required. The MLA program has as its focus not only innova-tive landscape design and land planning but also scholarly investigationinto the sustainability and preservation of rural, suburban, and urban com-munities.

Admission to the Master of Landscape Architecture Program-To be admitted to this degree program, applicants must have anundergraduate degree with a 3.0 GPA in the last 60 hours of coursework or a combined score of 1000 on the GRE.

E. Master of Science in Architectural Studies: This program is for stu-dents who want to do graduate work in the School’s areas of emphasis anddo not wish to earn a professional degree for licensure. Applicants mayalready have an accredited architecture degree or may have a degreeand/or background in another field. Students from fields other than archi-tecture may be required to take selected undergraduate courses as prepa-ration for their graduate work in architecture. For more information on eachof the graduate programs, refer to the University Graduate Catalog or writeto: Coordinator, Graduate Programs, Florida A&M University, School ofArchitecture, Tallahassee, Florida 32307-4200.

Portfolio Requirement From the first year, every student is required to prepare and maintain

a portfolio of work, updating it each year to remain current. This importantdocumentation of student work forms a valuable aspect of the School’sadvising program. Professional quality presentation is required. The port-folio is reviewed for admission to upper-division, the Bachelor ofArchitecture program, the Master of Architecture program, and the Masterof Landscape Architecture program and may be required for advisement atevery level of advancement. In addition, the portfolio is useful for obtain-ing internships and, upon graduation, a professional position.

Academic Progress and RetentionUndergraduate Programs - Retention and progression in the under-

graduate programs at the School of Architecture require a grade of “C” orbetter in all courses in the curriculum. Once established as a pre-architec-ture major and upon completion of all 1000-level architecture coursework, it is advised that a student maintains a 2.50 GPA in architecturecourses to progress to upper division. Students in upper division areadvised to maintain a 2.75 GPA in architecture courses to progress to the

Bachelor of Architecture program or a 3.0 GPA in architecture courses toprogress to either of the graduate programs.

Graduate Program - A graduate student is required to maintain agrade point average of 3.00 (“B) or higher. Failure to maintain the requiredaverage could result in termination of a student’s graduate status. For Masterof Architecture, Master of Science in Architectural Studies, and Master ofLandscape Architecture curricula, please also refer to the UniversityGraduate Catalog.

Center of ExcellenceRecognizing the need for more architects to be educated in the State

of Florida, especially African Americans, and to attract white and otherracial groups to this Historically Black College or University, the StateUniversity System founded the School of Architecture at Florida A&MUniversity in 1975. In 1978, the State University System selected one“Center of Excellence” on each of its nine state campuses. Each of theseprograms received additional funding, and at Florida A&M, the School ofArchitecture received this distinction.

Faculty and StudentsThe faculty is a distinguished group of people with an exceptional

range of interests and talents. In addition to teaching, faculty membersengage in research and professional development in energy conservation,structural systems, environmental education, low-cost housing, buildinguse programming, architectural communications, and computer-aideddesign. The low faculty-to-student ratio allows close student contact withthe faculty and personal academic advisement. Students in the School ofArchitecture form a highly diverse group of individuals with a wide rangeof backgrounds and knowledge. Coming from all over the world, somestudents enter the School of Architecture as high school graduates; otherscome as transfer students or second-degree candidates. Students areencouraged to become involved in organizations such as the School’schapter of the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS), theNational Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA), the AmericanSociety of Landscape Architects (ASLA), and Alpha Rho Chi. The Schoolalso has a chapter of Tau Sigma Delta, the architecture honor society.Student participation in these organizations provides a valuable service tothe School as well as an important leadership-learning experience formembers. There is also a Dean’s Council in the School made up of elect-ed student representatives from every level of the program. The Councilworks closely with the Dean on all matters of interest to students.

Building and EquipmentSince January 1985, the School has been housed in a building

designed to reflect the quality of its programs. The building has an archi-tectural resource center that offers a complete range of resources, sophisti-cated laboratories for student use, exhibition space for national and inter-national shows and student displays, and indoor and outdoor areas for stu-dent gatherings. The School of Architecture has its own computer labora-tory which is freely accessible to all students. The lab is used for instruc-tion and research in the application of computers to architecture. Scienceand technology laboratories are used for instruction and research in envi-ronmental controls and structures. Equipment is available for energy analy-sis and studies of the climate and the physical environment. A model-building and construction laboratory is equipped for presentation model-ing, three-dimensional space analysis, and experimental construction stud-ies. An $11 million expansion/renovation of the building was completedspring 2002.

Research in Architecture: Institute for Building Sciences The Institute for Building Sciences (IBS) coordinates the research, ser-

vice, and continuing education activities of the School of Architecture.Through the Institute, faculty and students have conducted research andservice projects for state and federal government agencies, non-profit foun-dations and organizations, and industry. Many IBS projects have includedinternational collaborations and funding. Projects have ranged from statis-tical surveys, analytical studies, and comparative investigations to labora-tory-intensive evaluations of building materials and construction methodsand Internet-based information dissemination systems. In addition, IBS hasconducted numerous symposia, workshops, seminars, and conferences fordesign professionals, contractors, developers, manufacturers, public offi-cials, and others involved in the design, construction, and management ofbuildings.

Special Programs and Events The faculty and administration of the School of Architecture believe

that the student’s education is greatly strengthened by visiting critics andlecturers. Distinguished architects and designers are invited to give a broadrange of views on current architectural thought and practice. In additionto lecturing, visitors are asked to spend additional time with students dis-cussing potential career opportunities. A new guest lecture series is offeredeach semester. Many Special Studies courses are offered at the School.These result from interests of students and faculty and have included suchtopics as graphics, energy, structures, film, and architectural education forchildren.

Located in Florida’s state capital, the School realizes special opportu-nities to work with many state and federal agencies and to be active inhelping to establish governmental policies affecting architectural educa-tion. Local practicing architects and designers are also important assets tothe School. They participate in student project reviews, part-time teachingassignments, and providing work experience for students. The School par-ticipates in an off-campus study center located in Alexandria, Virginia, nearWashington, D.C. Many students will spend up to two semesters in resi-dence at this major urban setting. The center is part of a consortium ofdomestic and foreign schools of architecture. Student field trips are encour-aged and sponsored by the School. To enhance the curriculum, studentshave traveled as a class to selected sites around the United States, theCaribbean, Canada, Mexico, Jamaica, and Italy.

Financial Aid A variety of financial aid sources is available to the student, including

federal and state loans, grants, and scholarships. Financial aid is not award-ed by the School of Architecture. Application must be made to the uni-versity. Students are encouraged to file financial aid forms as early as pos-sible prior to the scheduled deadlines.

Course DescriptionsARC 1211 The Building Arts (3) Introduction to architecture as a

career and field of academic study. Relationship to other design profes-sions, roles of the architect in society, and purpose and functions of the pro-fession are general topics for discussion and exploration. Open to non-architecture students and fulfills Humanities requirement.

ARC 1301 Design 1.1 (4) The primary foci of this course are thedevelopment of two- and three-dimensional graphic skills and the ability tothink spatially and to manipulate elements in space. Analysis and designexercises are located primarily in abstract two/three dimensional space anddeal with topics such as figure/ground relationships, line/plane/mass, theideas of systems, networks, repetition, and the relation of part to whole.

ARC 1302 Design 1.2 (4) [Prereq: ARC 1301.] This course contin-ues the emphases and topics studied in Design 1.1, with increased expec-tation with regard to graphic and spatial manipulation ability. Studentsstudy exemplary works of art and architecture, beginning the process ofdeveloping an understanding of the role history plays in their own creativeexplorations. By the end of the course, site and the human being are partof the design environment. Exercises engage only a few carefully selectedarchitectural variables at a time.

ARC 2201 Theory in Architecture (3) [Prereq: ENC 1102.] An intro-duction to contemporary architectural theories, their evolution and theirhistorical basis.

ARC 2303 Architectural Design 2.1 (4) [Prereq. ARC 1302.] Thecourse focuses on the development of inhabited space, including consid-erations of generic site, climate, and human comfort, for simple indoor andoutdoor spaces. Students extend the lessons of systems learned in first yearto study of basic building parts--floor, wall, and roof. The use of plan/sec-tion/elevation and models incorporating the human dimension is the mainvehicle for these explorations. This course offers the opportunity to makelinks, in the form of a joint project, to the theory course and the introduc-tion to technology course.

ARC 2304 Design 2.2 (4) [Prereq. ARC 2303.] In this course, stu-dents study sample buildings on specific sites that students are able to visit.The student’s design process is carefully structured through a series of exer-cises within a particular design project. Students are introduced to and are


expected to use in their designs ordering systems based on circulation,structural support, function, climate, and context. Precedent, technology,and aesthetics begin to play a part in the development and evaluation ofdesign solutions. The course offers the opportunity to link to ArchitecturalHistory I and build on the framework of ideas put forth in the first theorycourse.

ARC 2470 Introduction to the Technology of Architecture (3) Basisfor upper-division courses in structures, environment technology, andmaterials and methods of construction. This course introduces themes thatcut across these technology areas such as the response of buildings to thenatural and built environments, strength and durability in building materi-als, and quantitative methods of analysis and design of building assembliesand support systems.

ARC 2501 Architectural Structures I (3) [Prereq. ARC 2470, PHY2053, MAC 2311.] This course covers structural concepts and principles ofstructural behavior. Included are the elements of statics and mechanics ofmaterial: concurrent and noncurrent force systems, moments and couples,equilibrium, centroids and moment of inertia, stress and strain, shear andmoment diagrams, elastic column buckling, flexural and shearing stressesin beams, and truss analysis.

ARC 2701 Architectural History I (3) [Prereq. ARC 1211.] A criticalexploration of the history and theory of architecture from antiquity throughthe end of the 13th century. This course examines the making and intentof significant buildings and sites tracing the developments that have givenmeaning to the built environment and brought order to the tectonics ofarchitecture. Open to non-architecture students and fulfills Humanitiesrequirement.

ARC 3058 Computer Applications in Architecture (3) [Prereq.Upper-division standing.] Introduces students to the use of digital mediafor architectural design through specific drawing and modeling applica-tions. The computer as a concept, the computability of design, and com-puters as design/modeling tools are areas of emphasis. Generation, manip-ulation, and reproduction of two-dimensional and three-dimensionalarchitectural models using digital media are stressed.

ARC 3207 Architectural History II (3) [Prereq. upper-divsion stand-ing.] A critical exploration of the history and theory of architecture fromthe 14th century to the present. This course examines the making andintent of significant buildings and sites tracing the developments that havegiven meaning to the built environment and brought order to the tectonicsof architecture.

ARC 3703 Architectural History III (3) [Prereq. ARC 3207.] An in-depth study of critical positions in 20th century architectural thought.

ARC 3324 Architectural Design 3.1 (5) [Prereq. Upper-divisionstanding.] The first term of third year is a transition from lower division,especially for students entering the program from the junior college feederprograms. The important issues from the first two years of design are revis-ited within the context of small buildings or building complexes with mul-tiple uses and specific sites with distinctive site features. Design exercisesare structured to allow for teaching design processes and to ensure that stu-dents engage all issues of a project. Students are expected to begin todevelop meaningful alternative responses to important design issues and tobegin to evaluate these alternatives.

ARC 3325 Architectural Design 3.2 (5) [Prereq. ARC 3324.] The sec-ond term of third year emphasizes working within a specific context, bothin terms of a site in an historic setting and in terms of the materials and logicof building. It offers the opportunity to link with the history course on mod-ern architecture by locating a design project in a setting being studied inthe history course. The course also incorporates a hands-on experiencewith building materials and systems that relates to a design project for aspecific climate and topography. For example, wood construction couldbe explored in conjunction with the national wood design competition.The competition experience also prepares the student for the possibility ofentering a competition at the fourth-year or professional level.

ARC 3463 Materials and Methods of Construction II (4) [Prereq.ARC 2304, ARC 2470, upper-division standing.] Technical principles gov-erning the construction and behavior of building enclosure in the designprocess. Principles framed within the context of issues important to pre-sent and anticipated future built environment.

ARC 3551 Arch Structures II (3) [Prereq. Upper-division standing.]Structural analysis and behavior. Determinate structural systems. Designof timber and steel elements.

ARC 3682 Environmental Technology II (4) [Prereq. Upper-divisionstanding.] Mechanical systems: thermal comfort, indoor air quality, activeand passive climate control approaches, energy utilization, fire protection,sanitation systems. Technical problems associated with providing qualityenvironments for human habitation.

ARC 4319 Design Analysis (3) [Prereq. Upper-division standing.]Survey of the relationship between the design disciplines (specifically,design in architecture) and general science, planning, art, and other humanmodes of knowing and interacting with reality. The course aims at increas-ing student understanding of the concepts of design, planning, creativity,science, art, philosophy, and their role and relationship to architecturaldesign. Conceptual frames of reference for the discussion of the essence,concerns, aims, methods, and prerequisite knowledge and skills needed fordesigning. Rationality vs. intuition, objectivity vs. subjective judgment, andobjectification in design are discussed. Methods and techniques forimproving skills of problem analysis and problem-solving, creativity, criti-cal thinking and judgment, evaluation, communication about design prob-lems, information-gathering and analysis, dealing with design difficulties,and negotiation and conflict resolution.

ARC 4341 Architectural Design 4.1 (5) [Prereq. ARC 3325, ARC3463.] The first term of fourth year emphasizes accountability in terms ofworking from a theoretical position grounded in history and precedent andfrom the idea of the detail as a form determinant. For example, the classmight study the work and writings of an architect and then utilize their the-oretical positions as a framework for their designs. Another approachwould be to study a general design method, such as Alexander’s patternlanguage, and apply it to a specific project. The course has an out-of-towntrip to see examples of the work being studied.

ARC 4342 Architectural Design 4.2 (5) [Prereq. ARC 4341.] Thisterm has two emphases. The first is to bring together the lessons of the pre-vious design courses in the comprehensive design of a building of moder-ate size, possibly in the context of a competition. This project could alsoafford an opportunity for a specific cultural emphasis. The second is tostudy large, complex buildings culminating within an urban setting in adesign project that focuses on the organization of all the parts of such abuilding and its relation to the historical/cultural and physical context.

ARC 4562 Arch Structures III (3) [Prereq. ARC 3551.] Indeterminatestructures and analysis and design of reinforced concrete elements and sys-tems. Fundamentals of pre-stressed concrete, lateral forces, and resistingsystems.

ARC 4683 Environmental Technology III (4) [Prereq. Upper-divisionstanding.] Daylighting and electrical lighting, architectural acoustics, elec-trical and communications systems, and mechanized circulation systems.Technical problems associated with providing quality environments forhuman habitation.

ARC 5286 Practice I (3) [Prereq. admission to B.Arch. programs.]Thissurvey course examines the methods and processes related to procuringand delivering projects in an architectural practice. Course contentincludes the history of architectural practice, legal forms of association,project procurement, design and construction delivery systems, projectmanagement, bidding, contract negotiation processes, construction admin-istration, and cost management. Hands-on use of the computer will beemphasized.

ARC 5288 Practice II (3) [Prereq. ARC 5286.]This course investi-gates the evolution of architectural practice and the role of the architectfrom a historical and contemporary point of view. Emphasis is placed onthe current state of practice and its relation and obligations to the commu-nity, the marketplace, and the profession. This course explores the variedcontexts in which architects have negotiated, conceived, and executed pro-fessional services from antiquity to the present. A major intent of the courseis to explore professional ethics as related to architectural practice and toassess the architect’s obligation and relationship to the community.

ARC 5352 Advanced Architectural Design 5.1 (6) [Prereq.Admission to the B.Arch. program.] This term focuses on the study of a par-ticular urban setting. This setting forms the basis for an urban design pro-ject conducted during this term and also for the terminal project ofAdvanced Architectural Design 5.2.
