WELCOME

Here at MSOE we continually challengeour students to perform and wechallenge ourselves to improve.Graduation is the sign of studentsuccess. Institutional examples ofimprovement are:

• the addition of the GrohmannMuseum at the corner of State Streetand Broadway . This truly spectacularaddition to campus adds anotherdimension to the MSOE education.

• the acquisition of an atomic force microscope to view objects at the nano scalelevel. As a result, The Fluid Power Institute™ is the only university lab in theUnited States capable of examining debris or particles caused by wear fromfluid power systems to determine root causes of wear.• the upgrading of hardware in the Harley-Davidson/Lee Georgeson ComputerDesign Laboratory, thanks to a grant from the Harley-Davidson FoundationInc., allowing our students to work with the best technology available.

We are continually challenged to improve the way we teach students, as seen by:• the Rader School of Business focus on entrepreneurship, technology andglobalization, which are critical elements in the product of business leaders.• the success of the MSOE School of Nursing has inspired a campus nursinghonor society.

As we need to change, we also work hard to retain certain aspects, such as:• staying ahead of new technology to ensure that students at MSOE receive themost sophisticated and relevant education available. Our European exchangeprogram now includes four degree programs and will continue to grow.• working in teams with fellow students and alongside expert faculty, which iskey to an MSOE education• highly credentialed faculty who actively integrate their knowledge into thestudent experience, from teaching and mentoring, to undergraduate research.• students as active participants in their education – engaging in small-groupefforts on campus or exciting internships and research projects at the manycorporations in Milwaukee area.• the MSOE student experience is more than academics. It includes on- andoff-campus activities, counseling opportunities for emotional well being,and, of course, the Kern Center, offering a venue for personal fitness andorganized athletics.• students connected to the larger Milwaukee community throughcultural experiences, internships, scholastic and athletic competitionsand volunteer work.

During your MSOE career, I challenge you to get the very most out of your collegeexperience and fulfill your potential. Let a variety of interests lead you to stimulatingactivities both in and out of the classroom.

The MSOE Guarantee

This fall, millions of American students will begin their quest for a four-year collegedegree. However, for many, it will take five or more years to earn the degree. At someinstitutions, the courses needed to make steady academic progress are oftenunavailable to students when they need them. MSOE guarantees that will nothappen to on-track students. We guarantee for a student starting and staying ontrack, all classes needed for graduation will be available when they need them! Wealso will do our best to accommodate all students, be they on track or not.

We also recognize there will be times when graduates need to brush up on thesubject matter from a course they have successfully completed. This is particularlyimportant to employers who make significant investments when they recruit andhire recent graduates, expecting these new employees to be fully qualified, work-ready and professionally competent. Therefore, MSOE guarantees that graduatesmay refresh their knowledge by repeating any undergraduate course they took atMSOE, at no cost, within three years of graduation. This will enhance their jobperformance and may be initiated by the graduate or the employer. Courses retakenunder the MSOE guarantee will be taken on an audit basis and no grade will beearned.

History

At the turn of the century,American industry began aperiod of rapid expansion. Thisaccelerated the use of electricaland mechanical power. As aresult, new occupationsemerged in technical fields.Engineers and technicians withknowledge and skill were badlyneeded, but few people wereavailable who had acombination of technicaltraining and formal education.Industry’s need spurred thedevelopment of progressiveprograms of technicaleducation.

In this context, Oscar Werwath organized the School of Engineering of Milwaukeein 1903. Werwath was a practicing engineer who was a graduate of Europeantechnical universities. He was the first to plan an American engineering educationalinstitution based on an applications-oriented curriculum. Milwaukee industries werevitally interested in this kind of training and called on Werwath to provide educationand training for their employees.

From the beginning, leaders of business and industry cooperated in the university’sdevelopment, and a close relationship was established that has continuedthroughout MSOE’s history. These early supporters realized that their futuredepended on educational institutions that could prepare men and women to fill thenewly created engineering and managerial positions.

For more than a century, MSOE has had many memorable moments, creating arich tradition of educational excellence that has positioned MSOE as a leader amongtoday’s universities.

Study Abroad

Cultural and Educational OpportunitiesMSOE’s study-abroad programs are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to experience

another culture in depth while taking college-level courses toward your degree.MSOEencourages its students to consider the opportunity these programs offer. Certainacademic requirements are applicable – see programdirector for details.Business has become an endeavor without national boundaries. Changes in

technology have made it easier to enter foreign markets or seek foreign suppliers.Even if your company is not international, foreign firms are entering your market ormerging with your competitors.Leaders in business and engineering today need a global perspective. For the future,

we expect many employees will be required to have work experience abroad, someforeign language fluency and be expected to understand the challenges that comewith doing business in multiple markets. The MSOE graduate should prepare for thisfuture by considering our study-abroad programs.

GermanyElectrical engineering, mechanical engineering or international business students

may spend their junior year at the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences, in Lübeck,Germany. Founded in 1808, the university is similar to MSOE in that it is anapplications-oriented institution. Situated near the Baltic Sea, the beautiful city ofLübeck is a center of commerce, industry and higher education, and offers a variety ofrecreational opportunities to young people. Much of its Middle Ages appearance isstill intact in the older portion of town, which is a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site.The MSOE program consists of two semesters at Lübeck, with extensive breaks to

travel throughout Europe.

Key Features• Instruction is in English.• Participation does not delay progress toward graduation since all coursework taken is integrated into the curricula of eachMSOE program.• Upon graduation, students will receive two degrees, one fromMSOE andanother from Lübeck University of Applied Sciences.

Czech RepublicStudentsmay study at one of the oldest andmost respected technical universities in the

world, Czech Technical University (CTU) in Prague, Czech Republic. Founded in 1707,CTU consists of six schools and seven instituteswith some 16,000 students enrolled inengineering courses. Prague’s famed diversity of architectural styles, the distinctivebridges arching the Vltava River and narrow,winding cobbled streetsmake it one of theworld’smost beautiful and charming cities. The city also is the social and cultural centerof Central Europewith an entrepreneurial energy coursing through its streets.

Key Features• Instruction is in English.• Students have access to CTU course work beyond their selected major. Inconsultation with their academic advisor, students are thus able to selectthe number of credits taken at CTU that will transfer for academic credittoward their MSOE degree. (Taking classes that will not transfer to astudent’s major may delay his or her progress toward a degree.)

IndiaTheManipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) andMSOE currently are

developing an exchange agreement. MAHE operates world class institutions inManipal (in the state of Karnataka on the western coast of India), Dubai (one theUnited Arab Emirates) and several other locations. Instruction is in English.Contact the Enrollment Management Department for more information.

13Engineering or Engineering Technology?

What is the difference between engineering and engineering technology?

“Graduates of engineering programs apply scientific concepts to develop solutionsto real world problems. Their job is more theoretical, involving the design of newproducts such as a robot that will be used in an auto manufacturing plant. Engineersrequire more theoretical, scientific and mathematical knowledge. At the same time,some colleges and universities offer two- and four-year engineering technologyprograms that prepare students for practical design and production work. Graduatesof four-year engineering technology programs may get jobs similar to those obtainedby graduates with a bachelor’s degree in engineering.”

Thesefactorsmay include low ACT/SAT or TOEFL scores; low grades in key subjects such asmath, science and English; the lack of some of these subjects; the amount of time out ofhigh school prior to beginning college; and/or prior college grades. Internationalstudents accepted toMSOE on probation due to low TOEFL scores are required toenroll in the English-as-a-Second-Language program for their first year (see page 17).

Activities required as a part of this probationary status have been developed jointly bythe Learning Resource Center (LRC), the EnrollmentManagement Department andMSOE academic departments. The purpose of these requirements is to assist studentsinmaking a successful transition to academic life at MSOE. Students will be required toparticipate in LRC activities including tutoring, regularly scheduledmeetings with LRCstaff, the successful completion of OR-101, “Strategies for Academic Success,” and timemanagement and study skills sessions. The goal of these activities is to provideprobationary students with the tools to succeed at the university level.

Students also are limited to four courses or 16 credits per term for their first threequarters at MSOE.

These requirements will be enforced through university academic policies (seepage 29). The requirements have been established with the student’s best academicinterests in mind and are intended for no other reason than to help that studentsucceed at MSOE. Therefore, failure to comply with the conditions of one’sprobationary acceptance may have serious consequences affecting the student’scontinuation as a student at MSOE. Questions concerning the requirements ofprobation should be directed to the LRC at (414) 277-7266.

2) A course grade of “C” or better is required to be considered for transfer.

3) All past academic work is evaluated on an individual basis with respect to coursesthat appear in the most recent MSOE catalog for the program to which theindividual is applying, except for course work in programs where MSOE hasspecific articulated agreements (in which case the evaluation is per provisions inthe applicable agreement).

4) Transfer credit evaluations are prepared by the department chairperson whooversees the academic program into which the student is transferring.* Transfercredit is considered provisional until the student’s subsequent MSOE coursework confirms that he/she is sufficiently prepared for subsequent courses.Appeal of transfer credit evaluations should be made to the Registrar’s Office.

5) Credit for military service or work experience is determined by conferenceand/or examination by the academic department chairperson responsible forthe material.

6) At least 50 percent of required credits for an undergraduate degree must be takenat MSOE.

* The decision for specific course transfer is determined by the chairperson fromthe department that offers the course.

Nonimmigrant International Undergraduate Admission

To be considered for admission, students must:

1) Complete an admission application.

2) Demonstrate their English proficiency by providing official TOEFL or theIELTS test results. The minimum test score requirements are:

TOEFL Internet-Based – 79TOEFL Paper – 550TOEFL Computerized – 213IELTS – 6.5

1) Accepted: A student is accepted directly into their desired programof study.

2) Accepted on probation: A student is accepted directly into their desiredprogram of study but must complete additional obligations.

3) Denied: Persons denied admission to MSOEmay appeal the decision, eitherinwriting or in person, by contacting the EnrollmentManagementDepartment.

Note: Accepted non-immigrant foreign applicants who do not register for classes inthe designated termmust return the I-20 form toMSOE .

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

MSOE’s English-as-a-Second-Language program provides non-native Englishspeaking international students whose TOEFL scores range between 173-213(computer-based), 500-550 (paper-based) or 61-78 (internet-based), or whose IELTSscores range between 5.0 and 6.0 an opportunity to improve their Englishcommunication skills that are required for study at MSOE. Those internationalstudents whose TOEFL score falls within one of these ranges are accepted to MSOE aspart of the New Student Probation Program (see page 15).

ESL Program Conditions

Students will take one three-credit reading/writing course and one three-creditlistening/speaking course each quarter. In addition to the two ESL classes eachquarter, students will enroll in twoMSOE courses that will count toward their major.In other words, students will take four classes each quarter; two will be ESL coursesand two will be related to the student’s major.

After students have satisfactorily completed all six ESL courses and obtainedsatisfactory grades in all the MSOE courses taken during the first year at MSOE, theywill be able to continue studying in their major. At the start of the second year, and foreach year thereafter, students can take a full load of classes. However, please notethat this is a five-year program.

Because students in this program are accepted to MSOE on probation based on thelow TOEFL scores, all of the activities required by students in the New StudentProbation Program are to be followed, with the exception of completion of OR-101(see page 15). Students must pass their ESL courses with a grade of “CD” or better.Failure to do so will result in the student being subject to suspension from theuniversity and will require a written appeal in order to continue (see page 30).

18Working Professional Department

Students working full-time and wishing to continue their education may do sothrough the Working Professional Department.

The following standard guidelines for admission are offered:

1) A completed admission application must be on file.

2) A transcript(s) of all previously completed college course work.

3) High school transcripts, (if less than one year, 24 semester credits, ofcollege work)

A student may be granted:

1) Full acceptance: A student is accepted directly into their desired programof study.

2) Accepted on probation: A student is accepted directly into their desiredprogram of study but must complete additional requirements.

3) Denied admittance: Persons denied admission to MSOEmay appeal thedecision, either in writing or in person, by contacting the EnrollmentManagementDepartment.

4) Non-matriculated status: A student has not been accepted to a program ofstudy but may take up to three courses for one quarter. At the end of thequarter the student must have earned an average of 2.50 grade point averageto be considered for full acceptance or must have completed their admissionfile so an admission decision may be finalized.

5) Non-degree status: A student has not been admitted to a program of studybut may complete up to 30 credits in their area(s) of interest.

Customized On-Site Courses

While certain courses and training sessions are held on the MSOE campus, mosttraining sessions are held at a company site for the participant’s convenience and theability to apply the training to their own environment and situation. It is possible tohave MSOE academic courses taught in this same format.

The Business Excellence Consortium

The Business Excellence Consortium (BEC) is an outreach arm of MSOE. It workswith organizations to help them work toward world-class measures and providescoaching, implementation, training and networking resources to the membership.

The BEC offers both certificate-level and certification-level training.

Seminars: Seminars are offered to provide the opportunity for practicingprofessionals to stay abreast of cutting-edge technologies, current applications andtechniques. Continuing Education Units are awarded to seminar attendees. Seminarsare offered in formats ranging from four-hour workshops to two-day symposiums.Participants must complete a registration form and satisfy prerequisite requirements.

Certificate: Certificate-level training is conducted to provide the best means totransfer knowledge to the participants. Participants are tested upon completion of theprogram to demonstrate they understand the material. Some certificates are eligiblefor academic credit.

Certification: Certification level goes beyond the transferring of knowledge.Participants are required to pass the required certificate tests but also mustdemonstrate their ability to use the knowledge they have gained, thus demonstratinga mastery of the knowledge they have learned. Participants are evaluated on their useof the knowledge learned. Some certifications may count for either graduate orundergraduate credit.

Those participants that wish to be considered for credit must follow the followingprocedure:

CurrentMSOEStudents (A current student is an individual that has been admitted to anacademic program, is in good academic standing and is currently pursuing a degree.)

1) The student should check with their academic advisor to make sure the BECprogram satisfies a credit requirement for their academic program.

2) Upon completion of the BEC training events, the student should providehis/her academic advisor with a copy of his/her BEC record, which includeshis/her attendance information and test results. The BEC record may bepicked up from the BEC office, located in the Cudahy Student Center,CC-337.

3) The academic advisor should verify the student’s information on thestudent’s electronic transcript and should notify the Registrar’s Office eitherby e-mail or in writing that the student has satisfied the courserequirements.

4) The registrar will assign the credit to the student and will file thedocumentation in the student’s file.

20BEC participant but not a current MSOE student (The individual has participated inand has completed the necessary requirements of completion for each required BECprogram but is not currently admitted to anMSOE academic program.)

1) The prospective student must complete the admission process and beadmitted to an academic program of study to be awarded credit for the BECtraining events.

2) Upon being admitted, the student’s BEC record, along with additionaleducational transcripts to be evaluated for transfer credit, should beforwarded to the program director, and the regular transfer credit processshould be followed.

3) The program director determines which credits the prospective studentreceives and this information is forwarded to the Enrollment ManagementDepartment.

4) The enrollment management staff completes a letter that informs theprospective student of the credit he/she has earned.

5) A copy of this letter is forwarded to the Registrar’s Office, credit is assignedto the prospective student and a copy of the letter is placed in the student’sacademic file.

21Academic Regulations, Policies and Fees

Registrar’s Office: Student Life and Campus Center, CC-365Phone: (414) 277-7215Fax: (414) 277-6914

The regulations and policies of MSOE include only those that are necessary to theproper organization and operation of the university. MSOE reserves the right tochange the rules governing admission, tuition and the granting of degrees, or anyother regulation affecting its students. Such changes shall take effect whenever theadministration deems it necessary. MSOE also reserves the right to exclude, at anytime, students whose conduct or standing is regarded as undesirable.

Policy on Student Integrity

As an institution of higher learning, MSOE is committed above all to theeducational development of its students as responsible and principled humanbeings, and is an institution accountable in this regard to all whom it serves and bywhom it is scrutinized. MSOE has a priority interest in promoting personal integrityand in ensuring the authenticity of its graduates’ credentials.

The university is similarly mindful that both the professions and business andindustry have, for a long time, been concerned with the ethical, no less than theprofessional, practice of their members and employees. It follows, therefore, thatstudents of MSOE — preparing for professional careers and leadership roles that arefounded on responsibility and trust — must observe and be guided by the higheststandards of personal integrity both in and out of the classroom.

The expectations of the university with respect to academic and classroom integrityare reflected in, but not limited to, the following guidelines:

1) The student must recognize that even a poorly developed piece of work thatrepresents his or her best efforts is far more worthwhile than the mostoutstanding piece of work taken from someone else.

2) Assignments prepared outside of class must include appropriatedocumentation of all borrowed ideas and expressions. The absence of suchdocumentation constitutes “plagiarism,” which is the knowing or negligentuse of the ideas, expressions or work of another with intent to pass suchmaterials off as one’s own.

3) The student should consistently prepare for examinations so as to reducetemptation toward dishonesty.

4) A student may not share examination answers with others for the purpose ofcheating, nor should he or she, through carelessness, give them anopportunity to obtain them.

5) The student should know that a person of integrity will not support,encourage or protect others who are involved in academic dishonesty in anyway, and will furthermore attempt to dissuade another student from engagingin dishonest acts.

The institutional policy that follows includes prescribed procedures for the assigningof penalties by instructors in instances of academic dishonesty as well as procedures forstudent appeals of such actions. A student who in any way acts dishonestly in classassignments or examinations or who submits a plagiarized or unoriginal work to aninstructor shall be subject to sanctions up to and including an “F” grade for the

22assignment, examination and/or the course at the discretion of the instructor of thecourse. The numerical value of the “F” will be assigned by the instructor. If theinstructor assigns an “F” for the course, the student will not be allowed to drop thecourse. If the instructor assigns an “F” for academic dishonesty, the student has theright to appeal following established procedures. Upon recommendation of theinstructor or at his own initiation, the chief academic officer may decide that repeatedor extremely serious acts of dishonestymay be grounds formore severe disciplinaryaction up to and including student expulsion.

Academic Dishonesty Procedure and Appeals Process

The student will be notified by the facultymember either within three academicworking days of the faculty member’s awareness of the problem or at the next classsession attended by the student. The faculty member will notify the student using theform designed for notification. A copy of this notice will be sent to the departmentchairperson and the chief academic officer. The chief academic officer will retain allsuch reports in a permanent file.

The procedure outlined in steps 1-7 will be used if a student wishes to appeal a facultymember’s judgment that academic dishonesty has occurred. If a student wishes toappeal the penalty, such an appeal must be in writing andmust follow the normalgrievance procedure outlined under “Grievance Process.”

1) The student will have three academic working days after delivery of the writtennotification to initiate an appeal to the chairperson of the department in whichthe facultymember serves. The student will be deemed to have waived his/herright to appeal unless he/she files the appeal with the department chairpersonwithin these three academic working days. The statement of appeal must specifyeach denial of the facultymember’s decision and the substance of thecontentions uponwhich the student intends to rely in his/her appeal. Filingnotices of appeal in accordance with these provisions shall not suspend theoperations of the sanction previously declared in the case by the facultymember. The student will remain in class during the entire appeal process.

2) The department chairperson will have three academic working days in which toreview the appeal. The sole purpose of the department chairperson’s review is todetermine if sufficient evidence exists that the student was cheating. Thechairpersonmust inform the student and facultymember of his/her judgmentwithin those three academic working days.

3) The student or facultymembermay further appeal to the chief academic officerwithin three academic working days.

4) The chief academic officer shall convene an academic review board to hear thestudent’s appeal within a reasonable time (if possible, within three academicworking days of the appeal). The academic review board shall bemade up of twodepartment chairpersons selected by the chief academic officer, and one facultymember selected by the chief academic officer and agreed upon by the personinitiating the appeal. The chief academic officer will be a nonvoting chairperson.The facultymember assigning the penalty and his/her department chairpersonmay not be on the board.

5) The sole purpose of the academic review board is to determine if sufficientevidence exists that the student was cheating. The academic review board shallrender its decision after all sufficient evidence has been presented, but in a timeperiod not to exceed three academic working days from the commencement ofits proceedings. The decision of the academic review board in appeal cases isfinal and cannot be further appealed under procedures established herein.

236) All appeals established by this proceduremust be in writing.

7) The studentmay bring a representative to anymeeting established under thisprocedure. The facultymembermay also have representation at anymeeting.

Grievance Process

If a student has a complaint of unfair treatment in the academic area, he/she shouldfirst consult the instructor in the course. If nomutually satisfactory solution is achieved,the chairperson of the department in which the course is being offered should becontacted next. A final appeal may be directed to the chief academic officer.MSOE’s director of human resources also may be consulted, in addition to the

above officers, on matters pertaining to alleged unfair treatment because of race,gender, national origin, religion, disability or sexual orientation.

Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

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

Institutional Review Board

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) is an administrative body established toprotect the rights and well being of human participants recruited to participate inresearch activities. Milwaukee School of Engineering complies with requirements setforth in Title 45, Part 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations (45 CFR 46), known as the“Common Rule,” regardless of the source of project funding.

All students, staff and faculty at MSOE planning on conducting research involvinghuman participants must submit an IRB protocol for review and approval by theMSOE Institutional Review Board. Review and approval must be completed beforeresearch has begun. The review ensures the research plan has adequately protectedthe rights and well being of human participants. If the investigator is a student, theresearch must be performed under the supervision of a MSOE faculty or staff memberwho by his or her signature assumes responsibility for the conduct of that researchwith respect to the proper safeguards of the rights of participants.

Research is defined (45 CFR 46.102(d)) as “a systematic investigation, includingmethodology, development, testing and evaluation, designed to develop orcontribute to generalizable knowledge.” This definition includes formalinvestigations from which the results will be publicly disseminated, pilot projects,exploratory research and research undertaken by students for purposes of classroomwork, independent study, project work or theses.

24Human Participant is defined (45 CFR 46.102(f)) as “a living individual about whom

an investigator conducting research obtains data through intervention or interactionwith the individual, or identifiable private information.” Intervention generallyincludes both physical procedures by which one gathers data andmanipulations ofthe subject or subject’s environment. Private information includes information aboutbehavior that occurs in a context in which the subject can reasonably expect that norecording is taking place or information the subject has provided for a specificpurpose can reasonably expect will not be made public.

IRB protocol packets are available in the Applied Research and Grants office, S-149.Contact Ann Bloor, IRB Administrator at 277-7237 for more information or assistancein writing the protocol.

Academic AdvisingAll new students must meet with their assigned advisor during their first term to

ensure that they understand the curriculum and future scheduling procedures. All newstudents are provided with a program outline. The program outline specifically citesrequirements for all required courses and the exact credit breakdown related toelectives. In subsequent quarters, the advisors work with the students to ensure thatstudents make satisfactory progress without violating prerequisites.

Students’ Responsibility

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

Prerequisite Policy

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

Enrollment Status Requirement

A student’s quarterly enrollment status is established at the close of business onFriday of the first week of the quarter. Students registered for less than 12 credits willhave their veteran’s benefits and financial aid award reduced. A student’s yearlyenrollment status will be determined at the end of each academic year (fall, winter andspring quarters) to ensure that satisfactory progress has been made. The followingmatrix is used to determine enrollment status and satisfactory progress:

Quarterly Status: Yearly Status: Years to Complete:Credits per Quarter Completed Credits Bachelor’s Degree

Enrollment Status (attempted) per Year (required) (maximum)

Full-time 12+ 36 6

Three-quarter time 9-11 27 9

Half-time 6-8 18 12

Other 1-5 3 12

25Progress will be monitored in yearly increments. When a student’s enrollment

status does not remain the same for all quarters during the year (i.e., when it is bothpart-time and full-time) an average will be used to determine if satisfactory progresshas been made. A student who has not made satisfactory progress will be subject totermination fromMilwaukee School of Engineering.

Financial aid recipients must meet all criteria outlined in the “Enrollment StatusRequirement” and “Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy for Financial AidRecipients” sections of this catalog to remain eligible for financial aid.

Undergraduate students are classified by the number of credits earned as follows:

Freshman 0-39Sophomore 40-87Junior 88-135Senior 136 credits or more

Re-admission Policy for Undergraduate Students

Students pursuing an undergraduate degree, who have been admitted to anacademic program but have not completed a course for two consecutive years orlonger but wish to continue their education, must apply to be re-admitted to MSOE.

The student must submit:

• A completed admission application to the admission office (the fee will be waived).

• A transcript of all course work that has been completed since the last timethey applied.

• A personal statement clearly outlining their educational objectives.

Students may be granted:

• Full acceptance: If the student’s cumulative andmajor GPA are equal to orgreater than 2.00 and the student is in good academic standing as defined by theUndergraduate Academic Catalog (p. 29) the student will be re-admitted to fullacceptance to MSOE.

• Other: If the student’s cumulative and/or major GPA are less than 2.00 and/orthe student is not in good academic standing as defined in theUndergraduateAcademic Catalog (p. 29) the student will not be granted re-admission. Thestudent must follow the procedures outlined in theUndergraduate AcademicCatalog “Suspension Appeal Procedure” (p. 30) to pursue re-admission tothe university.

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

26 Attendance Policy

MSOE expects all students to attend regularly and promptly all lectures,laboratories and other sessions of courses for which they are registered. It is thestudent’s responsibility to add and drop classes from his or her academic schedule.

Faculty have the option of developing a policy concerning grade reduction ordropping students for excessive absence from class. Any policy of this nature must beannounced to the students during the first week of class and must be made availablein writing upon request. A student dropped under such a policy must obtain writtenpermission from the instructor to re-enter the class. The instructor will inform theRegistrar’s Office if any student is readmitted to class.

Laboratory and examination attendance is mandatory. In the event of an excusedabsence, arrangements shall be made with the instructor in advance for makeup.

Excused absences for field trips or other university-sponsored activities require oneweek advanced written notice with the approval of the chief academic officer.

Adding/Dropping Courses and Changing Sections

If a change of schedule is necessary, this may be done in the Registrar’s Officebefore 4:30 p.m. on Friday of the first week of classes. Students may neither add acourse nor change sections after 4:30 p.m. on Friday of the first week. This policymust also be followed by students taking courses available on a credit/noncreditbasis who want to change from credit to noncredit status or from noncredit to creditstatus.

A student may drop a course and receive a grade of “W” after the first week andbefore 6 p.m. on Monday of the eighth week of classes. Drop forms are available inthe Registrar’s Office. These must be completed, properly signed and received by theRegistrar’s Office before the deadline for dropping courses.

All students are responsible for their academic schedule. Students should notrely on instructors to drop them for non-attendance.

Withdrawal from All Classes

Students who wish to drop all classes must complete a withdrawal form which isavailable in the Registrar’s Office. This must be done before 4:30 p.m. Friday of the10th week of classes. Tuition refunds will be based on the date of official withdrawal,NOT on the date of last class attendance. The official withdrawal date is the date thatthe completed form is received by the Registrar’s Office. Should a student fail to meetthe withdrawal deadline, he/she will be responsible for tuition for all scheduledclasses and will receive final grades in all of them.

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

Grading System (Undergraduate)

Students receive letter grades in each course for which they register. Grades andtheir grade point equivalents are awarded on the following scale:

Letter Grade Grade PointsA (100 - 93) 4.00AB (92 - 89) 3.50B (88 - 85) 3.00BC (84 - 81) 2.50C (80 - 77) 2.00CD (76 - 74) 1.50D (73 - 70) 1.00F (below 70) 0.00P PassS SatisfactoryU UnsatisfactoryW Withdraw from class* Incomplete - grade with an asterisk (*)NR No grade reportedAU AuditAX Audit dropped

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

Incomplete Grades

A letter grade followed by an asterisk is a temporary grade indicating incompletework. It is the responsibility of the student to make arrangements with the instructorto have the work completed; these arrangements must be initiated within the firsttwo weeks of the following quarter (not including the Summer Quarter). The studentmust submit the required work to complete the course within the time deadline setby the instructor, but this may not be later than the end of the same quarter. If thestudent has not completed all work for the course after this period of time, theasterisk will be dropped and the letter grade preceding the asterisk will become thepermanent grade. The letter preceding the asterisk represents the grade the studenthas earned to date.

An incomplete grade is given at the discretion of the instructor. Incomplete gradesare reserved for situations in which a student has done satisfactory work in a courseuntil near the end of the term but because of extenuating circumstances, the coursecould not be completed.

Not Reported (NR) Grade

For specific project-oriented courses (senior design for example), student gradereports may reflect a grade designation “NR” each quarter until final courserequirements are satisfied, at which time all previously reported “NR” grades will beconverted to final course grades. Students receiving those grades should be awarethat, unlike an incomplete grade, the “NR” grade is not computed in any quarter’sGPA until a replacement grade is recorded.

27

Major Grade Point Average

The major GPA is designed to show a student’s proficiency in his/her specificdegree program. Major GPA is calculated after nine credits have been earned inapplicable courses. A major GPA of 2.00 or higher is required for graduation.Nursing students only: A grade of “C” or better is required in all NU courses. See“School of Nursing” section for additional policies.

Courses used in calculating themajor GPA in each program are as follows:

Architectural Engineering: AE-200, AE -2011, AE-2012, AE-3011, AE-3021, AE-2121,AE-213, AE-3112, AE-3121, EE-2501, AE-3611, AE-3621, AE-4311, AE-4712, AE-4721,AE-4731, and AE-4733, in addition to AE technical specialty classes which are

Building Structural Specialty (BSS): AE-3023, AE-303, AE-304, AE-401, and AE-407

Building Environmental Specialty (BES): AE-3131, AE-3132, AE-3141, AE-411,and AE-412

Building Electrical Power Specialty (BEPS): AE-3631, AE-3641, AE-3651, AE-463,and AE-466

For students electing to pursue a dual technical specialty, both sets of technicalspecialty courses would count in themajor GPA.

For BSS students doing early entry to theMSST programor for dual-degreeAE/MSST students, AE-720, AE-740, and AE-750would replace AE-401 andAE-407 in themajor GPA.

Biomedical Engineering: all BE, EE andME coursesBusiness: all requiredMS courses at the 300 and 400 level; all concentration electivesComputer Engineering: all required CE, CS and EE courses; all GE courses at the300 and 400 level; all program electives

29Midterm Progress Reports

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

New Student Probation Policy (Students accepted to MSOE on probation)

Any student accepted to MSOE on probation whose term or cumulative GPA duringtheir first year falls below 2.00 or who is not participating in required LearningResource Center (LRC) activities (see page 15) will be subject to suspension. RequiredLRC activities during the student’s first three quarters at MSOE include one hour perweek of tutoring, two meetings per quarter with LRC staff and successful completionof OR-101, “Strategies for Academic Success,” during the Winter Quarter.

International students in the English-as-a-Second-Language programmust passtheir ESL courses with a grade of “CD” or better. Failure to do so will result in thestudent being subject to suspension from the university and will require a writtenappeal in order to continue (see next page).

Academic Standing

An undergraduate student is in good academic standing when all of the following areequal to or greater than 2.00:

1) the term grade point average,

2) the cumulative grade point average and

3) the cumulative major grade point average (Cumulative major GPA for thepurposes of academic standing is always calculated after completion of 15major credits.)

When the cumulative, term or cumulative major grade point average falls below2.00, a student is placed on probation. Normally, a student is given one term to raisethe cumulative or cumulativemajor average to 2.00 or above. Any student on probationwhose quarter grade point average for the following term is below a 2.00 will need toappeal to the Student Advancement Committee to continue. The committee mayrecommend continued probation, suspension or permanent dismissal fromMSOE.Typically, suspension is for a period of two academic terms. Students who have beensuspended must petition the Student Advancement Committee for lifting of thesuspension during the two term suspension or for re-admittance following the twoterm suspension. A student who is placed on probation is limited to four coursesper quarter.

All full- and part-time undergraduate and graduate students are eligible for activemembership in student organizations. A student with less than a 2.00 cumulative GPAmay not have officer-level responsibilities in any student organization orextracurricular activity, serve as a student representative on any institutionalcommittee or represent the university as a member of any MSOE athletic team. It isthe student’s responsibility to inform the organization of ineligibility and theorganization’s responsibility to inform the Student Activities staff. In addition,academic eligibility will be reviewed periodically by the Student Activities staff forstudent organizations and is reviewed quarterly by the Registrar’s Office and theAthletic Department for the intercollegiate athletics.

30 Suspension Appeal Procedure - Student Advancement Committee

PurposeThe purpose of the Student Advancement Committee is to allow for appeals on the

part of those students who are suspended for academic reasons.

ProcedureStudents submit petitions in writing to the Registrar’s Office, addressed to the Student

Advancement Committee. If, in the judgment of the committeemembers, the studentis in a position to continue with a good probability of academic success, permission isgranted to continue with a probationary status. The student’s academic progress willthen be closelymonitored on a term-to-term basis. Each student has the option of onepersonal appeal to the committee during his or her academic career atMSOE.

Dean’s List and Honors List

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

Repeating and Grade Replacing Courses

A student may repeat any course taken at MSOE. All grades earned in the course willbe calculated into the student’s grade point average unless the grade is being replaced.

If an undergraduate student wants to repeat a course to replace a grade, he/shemust do so within one calendar year from the time the original grade was received. Ifa student has not been continuously enrolled during that year, an extension may begranted through the Student Advancement Committee. A written appeal for anextension should be submitted to the Registrar’s Office for review by the committee.If the course is not offered within one calendar year, the student must take it the nexttime it is offered. Courses must be taken at MSOE to be eligible for gradereplacement.

When registering for the course the second time, the student must fill out a GradeReplacement Form in the Registrar’s Office. This form must be received by theRegistrar’s Office before the close of business on Friday of the first week of classes.Students are allowed a maximum of five (5) grade replacements in their academiccareer at MSOE. Grade replacements are only processed upon completion of thecourse the second time. If a course that is being replaced is dropped, it will not countas one of the five allowed grade replacements. After completing the course thesecond time, both grades will appear on the student’s transcript, however, theoriginal grade will not be used in calculating GPAs. A student who fails (“F” or “F*”) acourse that is being repeated will be subject to suspension. Prerequisite courses mustbe successfully completed before the subsequent course is taken; failure to adhere tothis policy voids a grade replacement request for the prerequisite course.

Nursing students only: Any nursing student who earns a grade of “X,” “W,” “F” or“D” in any NU course, may repeat that course one time. A maximum of two NUcourses may be repeated. Students who fail to achieve a grade of “C”after repeating acourse will be academically dismissed from the School of Nursing.

31Grade Replacement Policy for Study-Abroad Programs

MSOE/Lübeck University of Applied Sciences study-abroad program participantsonly: Courses taken at MSOE cannot be used to grade replace any junior year Lübeckgrades. All participating students are required to follow Lübeck policies regardingretaking/passing of exams and tests for Lübeck courses. All resulting Lübeck gradeswill be converted into MSOE grades. For all Lübeck courses MSOE students arealways allowed to retake the equivalent MSOE course, if offered, but only withoutgrade replacement.

Auditing Courses

An audit is intended to provide students with an opportunity to review subjectmatter they have previously studied or to participate in courses to obtaininformation of interest to them. Since an audit does not carry any credits, auditingof noncredit courses such as seminars and short courses is not permitted.

A student wanting to audit a course must have the proper prerequisites for thecourse. Permission to audit a course must be granted through the student’s programdirector or advisor. Once a student takes a course as an audit, he/she may not takethe course for credit. Students may not enroll for subsequent courses for creditbased upon audited prerequisite subjects. Auditors may not use audited courses as ameans for obtaining credit for any course or to satisfy any degree requirement.

Students may change from audit to credit status or credit to audit status only untilFriday of the first week of classes; fees will be adjusted accordingly. The cost to audita course is three-fourths the regular tuition of the course for students registering for0 to 11 credits. There is no charge for students registering for 12 to 19 credits.

Directed Study

In the event that an undergraduate student is unable to schedule a specific course,the student may be granted permission to register for a directed study. Directed studyprovides one-on-one instruction with anMSOE faculty member. Generally,permission for such registration is granted only if the course is required in thestudent’s program and if the student is within 16 credits of graduation. Appropriateforms are available, and permission must be obtained from the chairperson of thedepartment under which the course is taught.

Independent Study

An independent study gives a student the opportunity to pursue a specialized topicnot covered in regularly scheduled course work. The student works closely with afaculty advisor on a project. The student must complete the appropriate IndependentStudy Form, available from the program director, and present it at the time ofregistration for the course.

32 Policy on Study Abroad

Students wishing to engage in study abroad under programs arranged by MSOE aresubject to the following:

1) Student applicants may not be on probation at the time of application and at theend of the quarter prior to scheduled departure.

• Departments should have authority to set application deadlines andany appeals are to be decided by department chairs.

2) Student applicants must obtain a letter from a licensed health physician or nursepractitioner which indicates the student is fit for study abroad.

3) Student applicants must sign a statement of understanding that, during theirperiod of study abroad, they remain bound by the policies and regulations setforth in the MSOE Student Conduct Code, as contained in the Whole Student LifeHandbook, found online at www.msoe.edu/stu_life/handbook.pdf.

4) Student applicants must meet program-specific curriculum requirements (e.g.prerequisite courses) to participate in the planned activities abroad.

5) Academic departments have authority to set program-specific minimumacademic requirements (e.g., meet minimum cumGPA or major GPA levels,complete an interview process).

Credit by Examination

Credit by Examination is available upon recommendation of the appropriatedepartment chairperson. The student must have completed approximately 80percent of the course material in a classroom setting, or 60 percent of the coursematerial plus have appropriate work experience in the same content area.

38Dual-Degree Program Charges

Dual-degree programs offer the ability to complete both a bachelor’s and a master’sdegree in five years. These students should complete their Free Application forFederal Student Aid as an undergraduate student.

Full-time students accepted into the Master of Science in EnvironmentalEngineering or Master of Science in Structural Engineering dual-degree programs arecharged full-time undergraduate tuition rates and receive undergraduate financialaid for their fourth year, even though they may be taking graduate courses (If astudent enrolls in more than 19 credits, they will be charged the graduate per creditrate for any credits above 19).

During their fifth year, students enrolled in an approved dual-degree program willbe charged the standard per credit charge based on the type and number of creditsfor which they enroll. They will still receive undergraduate financial aid for their fifthyear because they have not yet graduated with a bachelor’s degree.

MSOE scholarships and grants are not available to sixth-year students; therefore if astudent in an approved dual-degree program must enroll for a sixth year, it isrecommended that they graduate with their bachelor’s degree after the fifth year soas to be eligible for graduate-level Stafford loans in their sixth year.

Applied Technology CenterTM (ATC)MSOE’s philosophy of an applications-oriented education – a full theoretical base

plus hands-on technological experience – is exemplified by its research arm, theApplied Technology Center™. It serves as a technology and knowledge transfercatalyst among academia, business and industry, and governmental agencies andincludes several centers of excellence. There are a number of opportunities forstudents to contribute to important cutting-edge developments while interacting withfaculty, staff, industry and government. Students fulfill the roles of research assistantsas part-time or summer employees.

The Applied Technology Center undertakes hundreds of projects annually supportingbusiness, industry and governmental sectors with research, design, development andevaluation of products, processes andmanufacturing systems. Staff can construct andevaluate prototypes and assist in providing technology transfer, helping to fulfill theglobal objectives of applying engineering talents for the betterment of life for all people.

Some of the areas include:• Center for BioMolecular Modeling• Rapid Prototyping Center• Fluid Power Institute™• Engineering Research Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power• Photonics and Applied Optics Center• High Speed Video and Motion Analysis• Construction Science and Engineering Center• Environmental Engineering Projects• Electrical and Computer Programs• Professional Education

The Center for BioMolecular Modeling creates unique physical models ofmolecular structures using rapid prototyping and animation technologies. The centerworks with research scientists to create custommodels of the proteins whosestructures they are investigating. The center also works closely with educators at boththe secondary and post-secondary levels to create innovative products that make themolecular world real for students. The center is unique in the world, bringingtogether the disciplines of engineering, structural biology and computervisualization.

Rapid Prototyping Center offers students opportunities to work with faculty, staffand a consortium of client-members (such as Harley-Davidson and Kohler Co.) toreduce product development cycle time and develop products using the technologyof rapid prototyping. Rapid prototyping (RP) is a process that enables a 3D object tobe created quickly and automatically from computer data. MSOE is the onlyuniversity in the world to have multiple machines that use each of the five leadingtypes of RP techniques.

The RPC also is extending the use of rapid prototyping through research projects asdiverse as biomolecular and biomedical modeling, architectural modeling andmanufacturing tooling. Rapid prototyping programs at MSOE currently include theRapid Prototyping Consortium that comprises more than 60 industrial andeducational members.

46

MSOE students participate in a National Science Foundation-sponsored programcalled Research Experience for Undergraduates. They are joined in MSOE’slaboratories by students from universities around the country who vie for theopportunity to gain experience in researching applications of rapid prototyping inthe fields of biomedical, architectural, aerospace, biomolecular, electrical andmanufacturing engineering.

In 1999, an undergraduate student andMSOE professor used RP to provide apivotal link for law enforcement agencies in helping identify a murder victim. It wasthe first known use of RP for facial reconstruction by forensic experts.

Fluid Power Institute™(FPI), one of the first centers of its kind in the country,remains a pioneer in motion control and fluid power education. Through its state-of-the-art facilities it conducts a variety of performance, endurance and environmentalevaluations of components and systems. FPI also performs component and systemdesign, modeling and simulation, system integration and prototyping, and developsand delivers various educational programs. A $5 million endowment from the estateof Otto J. Maha provides the potential for continued advancement of fluid powereducation.

FPI uses an interdisciplinary workforce comprised of faculty and staff fromvarious academic departments, and undergraduate and graduate students to conductfluid power, motion control and related industry projects. FPI’s approach utilizesmechanical, electrical, computer and software engineering along withMSOE’s RapidPrototyping Center. MSOE is a member of the National Fluid Power Association andsupports the activities of the Fluid Power Society and the Fluid Power EducationalFoundation.

Undergraduates, in various degree programs, may be hired in their freshman orsophomore years and work 10-20 hours per week during the academic year and fulltime in the summer.

FPI research assistants acquire two to four years of hands-on experience combinedwith fluid power courses, giving them excellent problem-solving and interpersonalskills. They often receive job offers upon graduation, from equipment andcomponent manufacturers, OEM’s, distributors and users.

Engineering Research Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power (CEFP)willdevelop compact, low-cost next-generation, fluid powered devices — systems thatuse pressurized liquids or gasses to transmit power, with uses in aerospace,agriculture, construction, health care, manufacturing, mining and transportation.Researchers intend to develop a range of new technologies, such as hybrid vehicleswith efficient fluid power components and wearable fluid-power assisted devicesthat run for extended periods without external energy sources — ideal mobility aidsfor people with disabilities or power sources for compact machines such as rescueboats. MSOE is partnered with six other leading universities. The center will involve asignificant number of students at the partnering universities. There will be numeroussummer internship opportunities with the more than 50 companies who cosponsorthe center.

TheHigh Speed Video and Motion Analysis system has the ability to digitallycapture – and immediately play back – events in the 1,000 to 12,000 frames persecond range, enabling the user to analyze situations otherwise impossible withconventional video or the eye. Since the system is portable, it can be taken to anypoint of interest. Powerful motion analysis software can be used to track and graphup to nine points in the visual field. Projects for industry and aerospace engineeringhave been conducted.

The Construction Science and Engineering Center promotes innovation in thebuilding design and construction industries by conducting applied research instructural materials and systems as well as construction methods. The center’slaboratory has approximately 2,100 square feet of floor space and a clear height of 36feet. There is a large door for truck access and an overhead crane with two 5-tontrolleys. Specialized and adaptable structural testing systems, including a two-channel digitally controlled system, can produce loads from 50 to 500,000 pounds onspecimens up to 24 feet tall. The lab has multiple computerized data acquisitioncapabilities and an extensive array of transducers for measuring force, displacement,and strain. Academic course activities in this laboratory ensure that MSOE graduatesunderstand the physical realities of structural behavior and construction.

Undergraduate research assistants, working with faculty, may be involved in a widerange of funded Environmental Engineering Projects. Funding may be from anumber of different types of research organizations. From 2003 to 2005undergraduate students were funded from a National Science Foundation ResearchExperience for Undergraduates (REU) project to quantify environmental flows ofmaterials and energy during the construction of MSOE’s Kern Center. More recently,a committee of MSOE faculty, staff and students were instrumental in receiving Focuson Energy andWe Energies incentive grants for a solar photovoltaic system for theStudent Life and Campus Center roof. Currently, a MSEV graduate student isevaluating the renewable energy potential of municipal solid waste using the City ofMilwaukee as a case study.

Electrical and Computer Programs include projects in which the primarytechnologies are software, computer hardware and electronic or electrical systems.Specialty areas include magnetic actuators and sensors as well as their use inelectrohydraulic systems. Selected capabilities to create, simulate, breadboard,analyze and test electrical or software-based solutions to real world requirementsare available.

Professional Education seminars at MSOE, covering topics in fluid power andmotion control, offer participants opportunities to explore technologicaldevelopments and current applications and techniques. The programs are designed tokeep practicing engineers abreast of new developments and applications, and also toprovide a basic understanding of the technology to new entrants into the field. Thesehands-on, application-oriented seminars are based on applied research conducted byMSOE scholars using state-of-the-art laboratories with industrial-size equipment.

Center for EntrepreneurshipMSOE established the Uihlein-Spitzer Center for Entrepreneurship to provide

resources to a flourishing mindset of entrepreneurship among MSOE faculty andstudents. Entrepreneurial values are instilled in students, preparing them to joinbusiness and industry in leadership roles, improving profitability and productivity.Our students develop new products, design new processes and uncover newmarkets. Some even start their own businesses. When it comes to entrepreneurship,MSOE students take the helm.

The Center’s efforts are directed by G. Woodrow Adkins, the Uihlein/Spitzer Chairof Entrepreneurship in the Rader School of Business. Professor Adkins draws uponMSOE faculty, experts in business and his experience as an entrepreneur andexecutive to provide a range of services available through the Center:

• business concept refinement,• ideation assistance,• financial resource identification,• market identification and feasibility and• business plan development.

The Center supports efforts to integrate entrepreneurial skills into engineering,technology and business education, such as involvement with the KernEntrepreneurial Education Network (KEEN) grant and the National CollegiateInventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA).

Businesses need more than graduates who excel in their field; businesses needleaders — who think in innovative ways, plan and manage projects and usetechnology to bring projects to fruition. These entrepreneurial skills are keycomponents for the future competitiveness of U.S. companies.

Entrepreneurs in the United States have generated between 60 and 80 percent of allnew jobs in the last decade. Entrepreneurs in small businesses represent 97 percentof all exporters of goods and are a growing sector for women and other minorities.Entrepreneurship is a big deal, driving the U.S. economy and influencing globalenterprise.

Project Lead the WayProject Lead The Way Inc. (PLTW) is a national program forming partnerships

among public schools, higher education and the private sector to increase thequantity and quality of engineers and engineering technologists graduating from oureducational system. MSOE is proud to serve as the affiliate for the Project Lead TheWay program in Wisconsin.

The degree is for students who wish to become nonresidential buildingconstruction project professionals. The rigorous program melds instruction aboutbusiness administration, basic scientific and engineering principles, andconstruction science and project management techniques to graduate professionalswho are savvy about current industry practices and educated for a lifetime oflearning in this challenging and rewarding career.

“Excellent employment opportunities for construction managers areexpected through 2010 because the number of job openings arising from jobgrowth and replacement needs is expected to exceed the number of qualifiedmanagers seeking to enter the occupation … The increasing complexity ofconstruction projects should boost demand for management-level personnelwithin the construction industry, as sophisticated technology and theproliferation of laws setting standards for buildings and constructionmaterials, worker safety, energy efficiency, and environmental protectionhave further complicated the construction process. Advances in buildingmaterials and construction methods; the need to replace much of thenation’s infrastructure; and the growing number of multipurpose buildings,electronically operated “smart” buildings, and energy-efficient structureswill further add to the demand for more construction managers.”

– U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook(January 2004)

MANAGEMENT

62 Program Mission

TheMSOE BSCM program’s mission is to provide a learning environment thatincorporates the needs of the construction industry while developing a well-roundedprofessional construction manager.

Program Objectives (Goals*)In the years after graduation fromMSOE:• BSCM graduates will come to fully understand and accept the imperative tomaintain lifelong learning in their profession, whether by relevant formal study,periodic professional seminars, independent study or membership in andactivity with relevant professional organizations — or combinations of these.

• BSCM graduates who decide to seek an advanced degree relevant to theconstruction industry will demonstrate the academic aptitude necessary to earnthe degree.

• BSCM graduates who decide to become Certified Professional Constructors(CPC), after gaining the experience stipulated for application, will demonstratethe academic preparation necessary to achieve that distinction.

• BSCM graduates will report that they believe their BSCM program educationcontributes significantly to their professional success.

Program Outcomes (Objectives*)

To empower BSCM graduates to achieve the above objectives, the program deliversfour general outcomes for graduates.

• Technical ability — comprehending and adapting to increasing scientific andengineering complexity in construction projects and in the workplace as awhole.

• Managerial competence—making, directing, and implementing good decisionsby knowing the characteristics and capabilities of the people and things thatmust be applied and coordinated to accomplish work efficiently.

• Leadership skills — understanding humanmotivations and organizationalneeds, especially at the project level, to effectively accomplish work, even withlimited formal authority.

• Professional ethical behavior — internalizing necessary values to routinelybehave as a reputable construction industry professional.

Attainment of the outcomes (objectives) can be distinctly observed:

• Graduates of the BSCM program will continue to pass the required ConstructorQualification Examination— Level 1 to become recognized AssociateConstructors (AC) at a rate greater than or equal to the national success rate forthat examination.

• Graduates of the BSCM program will begin their careers as constructionmanagement professionals — typically in the commercial building constructionarena— able to immediately add value to common project activities orprocesses to which they are assigned.

*Terms in parentheses are American Council of Construction Education (ACCE) termswhich parallel ABET assessment terminology.

63The objectives and outcomes are achieved by quality control processes that ensure:

• Adherence to the program accreditation criteria prescribed by the AmericanCouncil for Construction Education (ACCE).

• Continuous program improvement, especially

1) by routinely exchanging ideas and observations with the BSCM IndustryAdvisory Council.

2) by carefully analyzing program assignment and examination results, as well asother student instructional feedback.

• Complementary with the BSAE program.

Some Common Positions

Construction Project Manager – The construction project manager (PM) hasoverall responsibility and authority to direct and coordinate actions thatdeliver the project to the client on time, under budget, and with requiredsafety and quality. The PMmight be associated with the project as soon asthe client conceives the project and until the building is turned over to theowner for its intended use. Construction PMs can be likened toentrepreneurs with full accountability for all project activities.

Construction Cost Estimator – An estimator applies knowledge ofconstruction materials and processes and their costs to forecast the fundsrequired to erect a building. Estimators mentally picture the work andinteract with other members of the project team to determine probablecosts. Estimates are required at various stages of building design – from earlyconceptual estimates to help the owner determine if the project isaffordable, to detailed cost estimates for competitive bids after the projectis designed.

Construction Scheduler – A scheduler typically works on larger projects,applying knowledge of construction methods and processes to help planproject activity sequences and to efficiently schedule the work, in order tomeet required project completion deadlines. Completing a project on timeis the single most important factor for its success, and the scheduler ensuresthat members of the project team have the information they require to makethis happen.

Construction Information Systems Manager – A construction informationsystems manager links advanced hardware and software technologies withconstruction project actions and processes to keep their companies viable.To remain competitive, modern construction firms must leverage theproductivity and decision-making benefits of information automation.Information systems are indispensable for efficient knowledge management,an essential function for any construction industry company that seeks asustainable competitive advantage. Mastering the latest technical andconstruction project management skills, graduates of the five-year dual-degree CMIS option deliver exceptional value to construction industry firmsat the technological frontier.

CONSTRUCTION

MANAGEMENT

Construction Superintendent – The construction superintendent is thecontractor’s representative at the construction site. The superintendentdirects and coordinates the site activities, which include the building trades.Responsibilities include ensuring that the work progresses according to theschedule and construction documents, material and equipment aredelivered to the site on time and the various trade activities are not inconflict with one another.

Facilities Manager – One of the many responsibilities of a facilities manageris being the owner’s representative in the building construction process.This responsibility may include formulating the building program’s initialbudget, seeking design construction services, monitoring the constructionprocess and overseeing approval of all billings.

Field Engineer – A field engineer engages in the design of temporarystructures, site planning and layout, cost estimating, planning andscheduling, management, materials procurement, equipment selection, costcontrol and quality management. Many construction professionals,including those without engineering degrees but with adequate formaltechnical and managerial education, begin their careers in positionscarrying this or a similar title.

The popular five-year AE/CM option practically provides knowledge and skillsequivalent to those held by graduates of baccalaureate architectural engineeringprograms who later earn a master’s degree in construction project management.These graduates fully understand the technical and managerial details of both designand construction – a noteworthy capability, since design-build is an expandingconstruction contracting alternative. Although CM graduates typically seek to beCertified Professional Constructors, the AE degree enables AE/CMs to also earn aProfessional Engineer license. This may offer particularly great occupationalflexibility for graduates, as well as exceptional value to their employers.

The construction project management skills of a BSCM graduate can be a strongcomplement to the environmental management skills learned in the Master ofScience in Environmental Engineering (MSEV) program. By adding MA-231 CalculusIII, PH-220 Physics II and CH-201 Chemistry II to the BSCM degree program, theCM student will be able to enter the MSEV program. This can occur upon graduationor before, if the student integrates MSEV courses into the program of study. When aBSCM student decides to pursue anMSEV degree before graduation from the CMprogram, the student will develop a special track that includes the three additionalclasses required for entry into the MSEV program.

It’s necessitated by the need to respond to the futurecompetitive challenges of business and the expectation that business leaders todayshould have a global perspective, work experience abroad, some foreign languagefluency and an understanding of challenges that go beyond doing business in onlyone market.

The program provides a strong foundation for students in business andmanagement, and the availability of a large number of elective courses that allow forprofessional development in one of the following concentrations:• Marketing• Computer Systems and Networking• Operations and Logistics• Software Development

A cornerstone of the international business program is the required one-year studyabroad during the junior year. MSOE has an exchange agreement with LübeckUniversity of Applied Sciences, Lübeck, Germany, where students from Lübeck andMSOE take classes together for one year (Certain academic requirements areapplicable – see program director for details.). The classes are taught in English with ayear of German included in the curriculum. In addition to the formal study, studentsare able to travel and experience the cultural diversity and historic heritage of Europe.Courses in marketing, finance, production management, telematics, logistics,Integrated Systems (SAP) and German language and history are part of the studyprogram at Lübeck.

Upon successful completion of the junior year and completion of the senior year atMSOE, graduates are awarded two degrees: Diplom-Wirtschaftsingenieur (B.S.engineering and business management) from Lübeck, and Bachelor of Science inInternational Business fromMSOE.

106 Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical engineering starts with a solid foundation in engineering. Themodifying word, whether it be biomedical, electrical, computer or mechanical,simply means what type of engineering this person is especially skilled andexperienced in performing. Engineering education teaches the student how to usescientific theories frommathematics, physics, chemistry and social sciences to designproducts and services that meet the needs of society. The biomedical engineer usesknowledge of the life sciences and distinctively satisfies society’s needs in theimprovement of societal health and health care.

Biomedical engineers are engineers who add knowledge from the life sciences to thepractice of their profession. Biomedical engineers need to have a solid education inengineering and a working knowledge of biology, physiology andmedicine.

Six Major Areas Within Biomedical Engineering

Medical InstrumentationMedical instrumentation is the application of electronics and measurement

techniques to develop devices used in diagnosis and treatment of disease. Computersare an important and increasingly essential part of medical instrumentation, from themicroprocessor in a single-purpose instrument to the microcomputer needed toprocess the large amount of information in a medical imaging system.

Examples of medical instrumentation include: heart monitors, microelectrodes,defibrillators and glucose monitoring machines.

BiomaterialsBiomaterials is the use of materials, both living tissue and artificial materials, for

implantation. Understanding the properties of the living materials is vital in thedesign of implant materials. The selection of an appropriate material to place in thehuman body may be one of the most difficult tasks faced by the biomedical engineer.Certain metal alloys, ceramics, polymers and composites have been used as implantmaterials. Biomaterials must be nontoxic, non-carcinogenic, chemically inert (notreacting violently with the body’s chemical composition), stable and mechanicallystrong enough to withstand the repeated forces of a lifetime of use. Newerbiomaterials even incorporate living cells in order to provide a true biological andmechanical match for the living tissue.

Examples of biomaterials include dental adhesives, bone cement, replacementbones/joints, heart prosthetics, heart replacement valves and artificial lungsand kidneys.

System Physiology and ModelingIn the context of biomedical engineering, modeling refers to the use of scientific and

engineering principles to predict the behavior of a system of interests. Systems ofinterest may include the human body, particular organs or organ systems andmedical devices.

This aspect of biomedical engineering is used to gain a comprehensive andintegrated understanding of the function of living organisms. These organisms rangefrom bacteria to humans. Modeling is used in the analysis of experimental data and in

107formulating mathematical descriptions of physiological events. In research, modelingis used as a predictive tool in designing new experiments to refine our knowledge.

Examples are the biochemistry of metabolism and the control of limbmovements.

Biosignal ProcessingBiosignal processing involves the collection and analysis of data from patients or

experiments in an effort to understand and identify individual components of thedata set or signal. The manipulation and dissection of the data or signal provides thephysician and experimenter with vital information on the condition of the patient orthe status of the experiment. Biomedical engineers apply signal processing methodsto the design of medical devices that monitor and diagnose certain conditions in thehuman body.

Examples include heart arrhythmia detection software and brain activity.

Medical ImagingMedical imaging combines knowledge of a unique physical phenomenon (sound,

radiation, magnetism, etc.) with high-speed electronic data processing, analysis anddisplay to generate an image. Often, these images can be obtained with minimally orcompletely non-invasive procedures, making them less painful and more readilyrepeatable than invasive techniques.

Examples include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound and computedtomography (CT).

Biomechanics and Rehabilitation EngineeringBiomechanics applies both fluid mechanics and transport phenomena to biological

and medical issues. It includes the study of motion, material deformation, flow withinthe body, as well as devices and transport phenomena in the body, such as transportof chemical constituents across biological and synthetic media andmembranes.

Efforts in biomechanics have developed the artificial heart, replacement heartvalves and the hip replacement.

Rehabilitation engineering uses concepts in biomechanics and other areas todevelop devices to enhance the capabilities and improve the quality of life forindividuals with physical and cogitative impairments. Examples include prosthetics,the development of the home and/or workplace and transportation modifications.

Ever think about who designed or developed the things you so commonly use? Thecell phone to call friends, digital television to watch a favorite show, computers tosurf the Internet, microwave ovens to prepare meals, MP3 players, GPS devices,vehicle ignition systems, glucose meters and much more. They are primarilydesigned by electrical engineers.

Electrical engineering is involved in anything powered by electricity using a walloutlet or a battery.

Consider becoming an electrical engineer if you:

• like to work with physical things you can touch and see, such as electroniccomponents and products, yet use a computer to control and interact with thesecomponents and products.

• want a broad choice of career opportunities, yet be able to specialize in topics ofyour choosing.

• are looking for a career that can last a lifetime, yet can also serve as aspringboard for other opportunities, such as management, business and law.

Consider studying electrical engineering at MSOE for the following reasons:

• The curriculum is broadly based with a primary focus on hardware—stuff that isreal; something you can see, hold and break. Some of what you will work withcan only be seen under a microscope (integrated circuits, nanotechnology) andothers will dwarf you (power station generators).

• You will experience a strong emphasis on design and hands-on laboratoryexperimentation.

• You will learn about communications, controls, motors, embedded systems,electronics, microprocessors and more, and use software applications.

• The curriculum has one or more electrical engineering courses in every quarterof each academic year, including the entire freshman year.

115Program GoalsThe goals of the electrical engineering program are:

• to produce electrical engineering graduates with a strong theoretical andapplications background, whose analytical, design and laboratory experiencesmake them attractive to industry and capable of advanced study in engineering;

• to produce well-rounded engineers who view engineering as a profession withglobal, societal, and ethical responsibilities; and

• to provide an intimate learning environment, with personal involvement offaculty with significant industrial experience.

program are to produce engineering graduates who will:

• use their educations to become productive, contributing professionals in theirchosen field;

• demonstrate initiative in their professional activities;

• show continued professional development; and

• recognize the impact of their professional activities on society.

Program OutcomesIn accordance with these objectives, the educational outcomes of the program are

to produce graduates who will:

• have a knowledge of and an ability to apply multivariable calculus, differentialequations, linear algebra and statistical methods to the solution of engineeringproblems;

• have a knowledge of and an ability to apply principles of chemistry and calculus-based physics to electrical engineering systems;

• have an ability to function within a laboratory, including the abilities to plan andexecute structured experiments, and to analyze and interpret data;

116 The Electrical Engineering Curriculum

The electrical engineering program (BSEE) at MSOE places a very strong emphasison design, applications and hands-on laboratory experimentation. Think for amoment of how you can demonstrate that you learned something very well. What if,in addition to the normal exams, you designed, built and debugged an electroniccircuit that functions just like it is supposed to? The laboratory is a great place to workout the details of your understanding of the theory. Consequently, the BSEE programat MSOE prepares its graduates for successful entry into the engineering profession,as well as for graduate school.

Design and laboratory projects grow in complexity throughout the four-year BSEEcurriculum. In the freshman year students start with experiments that range overelectrical engineering topics, such as microprocessors, communications, motors anddigital circuits. Students learn structured programming executed on an embeddedsystem and the basics of circuit theory. In succeeding years typical topics coveredinclude: design the circuitry to decide whether a phone should ring in response to anincoming call, and using the software applications MATLAB and Simulink in theanalysis and design of automatic control systems.

This design process culminates in the senior design project where a team of seniorstudents (often coming together from different disciplines) work on a single majorproject for the entire academic year. The project is taken from concept to a workingprototype. Recent projects included:

• Robot Fencing Partner• Internet-Enabled Heart Health Monitor• Universal Test Platform for NASA Zero-Gravity Flights• Solar Powered Boat for Competitive Racing

Many of the projects use wireless communication andmicroprocessors. Theprojects are usually defined by the students, sometimes with the help of facultyand/or local industry. Because of its urban location, MSOE has a very strongrelationship with local industry. This is very advantageous for students, not just fordesign projects, but also for industry internships or summer jobs.

BSEE students have the option of a very unique junior year study-abroad programwith the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences in Lübeck, Germany.

This is a tremendous opportunity for anyone who is thinking about a career paththat involves the global economy and viewpoint. For details, please see page 121 ofthis catalog.

128 The Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) Curriculum

The EET program is accessible on both a full- and part-time basis totransfer students.

The EET curriculum uses an experience-based learning methodology and, hence,most of the engineering technology and science courses have an associatedlaboratory. The electrical engineering technology program generally appeals tostudents who learn best by experiencing what they are learning (hands-on), whoprefer the use of specific examples to help them learn the overall general concepts,and who favor the use of physical concepts to clarify mathematics.

Students in the EET program typically begin at the junior level. As studentsprogress through the curriculum, the mathematics and science (physics andchemistry) courses, as well as previous engineering technology courses, lead into themore advanced engineering technology courses. This curricular approach fits wellwith the experience-based learning style and allows the student to reach and covermany advanced electrical and electronic topics such as:

• electrical and electronic circuit design.• electronic signal representation and application to electronic circuitsusing Fourier series, Laplace transforms, Fourier transforms and digitalsignal processing.

• electronic communications including transmission lines and data communications.• electromagnetic fields including an introduction to electromagnetic interferenceand signal integrity.

• control of systems using feedback.• use of computer software tools and advanced computer programming.• digital- andmicroprocessor-based design.

In addition to the breadth of these electrical topics, which are an integral part of thecurriculum, the student takes a two-course senior project sequence in the senioryear. The senior project areas are offered based on student voting in the previousyear (in the course GE-300). In the senior project, students obtain a deeperunderstanding of the theory and applications in that topical area, and students formteams that each define and complete a significant project. Popular topical areasinclude analog and digital electronics, computer hardware and software, electroniccommunications, and industrial electronics and controls. Examples of recent seniorprojects include:

• design of an electrocardiogram simulator, to test patient monitors,

• design of a wireless networking system for transferring vital health conditions,

• design of a metropolitan-area wireless network for transferring telemetry data,

• design of a power-conversion system for a battery-powered electricmotorcycle, and

• design of an authorized-access building entry and simulated elevator-ridefunctions.

129FAA Approval

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

Advice for Other Transfer Students

Students whose previous formal education has been gained through a technical,community or junior college are required to consult with the EnrollmentManagement Department at MSOE about credit transfer. Consultation with anelectrical engineering technology program advisor is required to plan a transitionschedule around previously completed and qualifying academic experience.

A student who plans to transfer from another college into the program at somefuture date is encouraged to correspond with the Enrollment ManagementDepartment at MSOE. The student will be assisted in coordinating, as closely aspossible, courses to be taken at another institution of higher education with thosecourses that are part of the graduation requirements at MSOE. The MSOE philosophyof individual attention to each student is a major factor in making a successfulacademic transition possible.

Software engineering is the application of engineering concepts, techniques andmethods to the development of software systems. A software engineering programdevelops engineering professionals with a mastery of software development theory,practice and process.

Software engineering is based on computer science in the same way otherengineering disciplines are based on natural or life sciences. However, it adds anemphasis on issues of process, design, measurement, analysis and verification,providing a strong foundation in engineering principles and practice as applied tosoftware development.

Software engineering students gain knowledge and skill in all aspects of thesoftware development life cycle, including requirements elicitation and analysis,software architecture, design, construction and verification/validation. They learn towork within and to continuously improve a defined software development process,with the aim of producing high-quality software predictably and efficiently. Toprovide a basis for this software engineering practice and process, students aregrounded in the fundamentals of computer science, including data structures,algorithms, formal methods and operating systems.

Program Objectives

The software engineering program at MSOE implements the university’s mission byfacilitating the personal and professional growth of its students so they can becomeeffective contributors to the engineering profession and to society as a whole.

136 Curriculum

MSOE prides itself on uniting theory with industry practice, in both classroom andlaboratory activities. Software practice and process are emphasized throughout thecurriculum. The software development laboratory provides experience in variousroles, working on large-scale projects using software engineering tools andtechniques. In the senior design sequence, software engineering students work inteams to complete a major project. Often project ideas originate in industry, wheremany students work as interns.

Software is a critical component of many different types of products and systems,in fields such as consumer electronics, transportation, health care, communications,finance, manufacturing, entertainment, government and education. To workeffectively and collaboratively in one of these application areas, a software engineermust become familiar with its body of knowledge, practices and vocabulary. Eachsoftware engineering student demonstrates an ability to do this by completing asequence of elective courses in a chosen “application domain” field. Since manysoftware engineers develop computer systems that are embedded into otherproducts, from cellular telephones to medical devices to vehicle controls, thesoftware engineering program incorporates a sequence of computer engineeringcourses in hardware and software design of microprocessor-based systems.

Because software engineers seldom work in isolation, communication skills andteamwork are critically important. Course work and projects provide manyopportunities to develop proficiency in writing, oral presentation, collaboration andproject management.

142 Foreign Language Courses at MSOE

Enrollment in Foreign Language Courses

1) A student may not enroll in a foreign language course if that foreign languageis spoken in the student’s home.

2) A student who has had one year of a specific language in high school mayenroll in the introductory language course. Students having two years of aspecific language in high school must begin at the second language course.For each additional year of language in high school, a student must begin at acorrespondingly higher level.

Fulfillment of HU Elective Credit

1) Students enrolling in a beginning language course (designated by the Romannumeral “I”) must enroll in and successfully complete two quarters oflanguage courses in order to receive HU credit for the beginning course. If astudent were to take German I, for example, but not German II, the threecredits would be tabulated in the student’s grade point average, but the creditwould not apply toward the fulfillment of HU electives.

2) A student who is placed in “Foreign Language II” or “Foreign Language III”will receive three credits of HU elective credit for that course withoutcompleting another sequential course.

3) A student placed in “Foreign Language II” or “Foreign Language III” will notreceive credit for more fundamental language courses.

4) Taking two quarters of the same foreign language does satisfy HU seriesobligations.

143English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) Program

MSOE’s English as a Second Language program provides non-native Englishspeaking international students whose TOEFL scores range between 173-213(computer-based), 500-550 (paper-based) or 61-78 (internet-based), or whose IELTSscores range between 5.0 and 6.0 an opportunity to improve their Englishcommunication skills that are required for study at MSOE. Those internationalstudents whose TOEFL score falls within one of these ranges are accepted to MSOEas part of the New Student Probation Program (see page 15).

ESL Program Goals

The goal of the ESL program is to bridge the gap between the English languageskills the students possess and the skills they will need to be academically successfulat MSOE. Specifically,

1) To improve the students’ academic skills in reading, writing, listeningand speaking.

2) To provide the students with a foundation in culture and cultural values,ethics, integrity and social responsibility from an American perspective.

3) To provide a climate that fosters independent thinking and personaldevelopment.

ESL Program Conditions

Students will take one three-credit reading/writing course and one three-creditlistening/speaking course each quarter. In addition to the two ESL classes eachquarter, students will enroll in two MSOE courses that will count toward theirmajor. In other words, students will take four classes each quarter; two will beESL courses and two will be related to the student’s major.

After students have satisfactorily completed all six ESL courses and obtainedsatisfactory grades in all the MSOE courses taken during the first year at MSOE,students will be able to continue studying in their major. At the start of the secondyear, and for each year thereafter, students can take a full load of classes. However,please note that this is a five-year program.

Because students in this program are accepted to MSOE on probation based onthe low TOEFL scores, all of the activities required by students in the New StudentProbation program are to be followed, with the exception of completion of OR-101(see page 15). Students must pass their ESL courses with a grade of “CD” or better.Failure to do so will result in the student being subject to suspension from theuniversity (see page 30).

The field of technical communication is a logical extension of the rapid growth intechnology. Individuals in this field creatively express ideas and accomplishments ofindustry, business and other institutions through a variety of Web tools, manuals,pamphlets, brochures, visually assisted oral presentations and mass media. Conse-quently, individuals in this field have aptitude and education in both the humanitiesand the sciences and are able to relate readily to people on many levels.

The degree in technical communication at MSOE is designed to provide students with:

• a core liberal arts education in humanities and social sciences

• courses in the major area which will allow students to design and produce bothwritten documents and oral presentations for business, industry and institutions

• literacy in basic engineering, mathematics, physical science, computersand business

Program Goals

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

• develop, design and distribute written documents and oral presentationsconveying technical material for business, industry and other institutions

• understand communication theory in order to assist business, industry andother institutions with developing management tools related to the flow ofinformation within an organization

• act as a link between the expertise of technical personnel and the needs of thevarious audiences of industry, business and other institutions

• pursue graduate study in areas related to communication

Potential employment in a wide variety of fields is available to graduates of theprogram because of the scope of the degree. Typical employment opportunitiesfor graduates include engineering firms, government, health field services, bankingand other financial institutions, insurance companies, public relations firms andmass media (television or radio).

The bachelor of arts degree requires five quarters of a foreign language.

A bachelor of science degree option is available in this program. Upon consultationwith the program director, a student may choose to select 15 credits of technicalelectives in place of 15 credits of a foreign language, which would result in thebachelor of science degree.

149Bachelor of ScienceTechnical Communication – 2 + 2 Degree

The 2 + 2 degree program in technical communication offered by MSOE is designedfor individuals with an associate degree in any field. This program is an excellentopportunity for those individuals with technical aptitude whose career goals are infields involving communication skills – for example, human resource management,Web design, usability testing, software documentation, technical sales, knowledgemanagement, technical training, proposal writing, project management, e-business,marketing, public relations, journalism, technical writing and informationtechnology. The 2 + 2 program also will be attractive to individuals performingtechnical writing functions in their careers but lacking an academic background inwriting and communication.

Graduates with a two-year associate degree in any field may transfer with juniorstanding and expect two full years of advanced credit. The Bachelor of Science inTechnical Communication degree at MSOE has three academic components: coursework in written, oral and visual technical communication; course work in thehumanities and social sciences; and course work in business, science andengineering technology. Accordingly, the 2 + 2 program is offered to students in fourdifferent versions, each of which is designed to complement the academiccomponent emphasized in the associate degree. Students entering the 2 + 2 programwith an associate of applied science degree have already taken course work inbusiness, science and engineering technology, so they will enroll in Plan A, whichemphasizes course work in technical communication, humanities and social science.Students entering with an A.A.S. in technical communication degree will enroll inPlan B*, which emphasizes course work in the humanities and social sciences, as wellas in business, science and engineering technology. Students entering with anassociate of arts degree will enroll in Plan C*, which emphasizes course work intechnical communication, business, science and engineering technology. Studentsentering with the first 2 years of coursework in the B.A. in media andcommunications at MAHE-MANIPAL in Dubai will enroll in Plan D*, whichemphasizes courses in technology and interpersonal communication. In some cases,advanced undergraduate standing in technical course work can be considered in lieuof an associate degree. In all cases, course substitutions will be made when necessaryto avoid duplication of course work taken to complete associate degreerequirements. Prerequisite subjects may also be scheduled if needed.

* For a Plan B, C, or D track, contact the Technical Communication program director.

Foreign companies are buying or formingalliances with American companies at a record pace. There is an increasing likelihoodof a graduate doing business with or even working for a foreign owned company. Thegraduate who has traveled internationally, speaks a foreign language or has anunderstanding of the cultures and traditions of other nations will have a markedadvantage.

The MSOE German Study-Abroad Program enables students to study for one year ata German university where the focus is in the area of applied engineering withsuperbly outfitted laboratories, while at the same time gaining firsthand experienceby being immersed in German culture.*

The key features of MSOE’s program are:

• All instruction is in English. Students do NOT need to know any German.• Students will receive two degrees, one fromMSOE and one from the LübeckUniversity of Applied Sciences.

• Students will graduate on schedule, if they stay on track in the ME curriculum.

The Program

Mechanical engineering students who enroll in the German Study-Abroad Programwill study for two semesters at the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences during theirjunior year. The school year runs September through June with extensive breaks,including between semesters, providing an excellent opportunity for European travel.Students live in off-campus housing arranged by the university. They are in class withtheir German counterparts.

The mechanical engineering technology program emphasizes the application ofmathematics and sciences to the implementation and extension of existingtechnology in the areas of mechanics, thermal sciences and materials.

The program is designed to accommodate transfer students, especially those withassociate degrees in mechanical design and related fields. In particular, the programis offered in the evenings only, and is designed for working part-time students.Typically, students will enroll for two classes per quarter. The classes shown in thepart-time curriculum track are paired so that the required courses can be taken onthe same nights of the week. The degree also may be pursued on a full-time basis,with all technical courses offered during the evening hours.

The curriculum introduces technical courses at an early stage. Mathematics andsciences are integrated as they are applied in the technical courses. General studiescourses are spread throughout the curriculum. With this arrangement of courses,part-time students experience a continuous blend of technical and support classesthroughout the program.

Two technical electives and one free elective allow students to focus on an area ofinterest; however, the program is designed to produce well-rounded graduates whoare competent in all areas of mechanical engineering technology.
