ENGINEERINGEngineering Major (B.S.)Engineering is the application of mathematical and scientific knowledge to provide for the technological needs of society. George Fox University offers an engineering degree with a concentration in electrical or mechanical engineering. Design work is integrated throughout the curriculum, utilizing current methodologies and computer tools. The engineering major will prepare students for the engineering profession, graduate programs, and professional licensure. All engineering majors will be required to take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam prior to graduation. Those students interested in pursuing an engineering degree in other areas, such as chemical, civil, or aerospace engineering, should see Applied Science. MAJOR REQUIREMENTSThe major requires course work to be completed in the following areas: 30 hours of core courses in general, electrical, and mechanical engineering 31 hours in the electrical or mechanical concentration 32 hours of mathematics and natural science, of which 18 hours fulfill the mathematics and natural science component of the general education requirements for engineering majors Engineering Core ENGR 151, 152 Engineering Principles I, II ENGR 250 Principles of Materials Science ENGR 380 Robotics Control Systems ENGR 481, 482 Senior Design I, II ENGR 490 Senior Seminar ENGE 220 Digital Logic Design ENGE 250 Electric Circuit Analysis ENGM 210 Statics and Dynamics ENGM 311 Engineering Thermodynamics Mathematics and Natural Science MATH 201, 202, 301 Calculus I, II, III MATH 310 Differential Equations CHEM 211 General Chemistry PHYS 211, 212 General Physics with Calculus Plus a math elective, selected from the following: MATH 300 Numerical Methods MATH 320 Linear Algebra MATH 331 Probability Plus a natural science elective selected from the following: BIOL 100 Foundations of Biology BIOL 101 General Biology BIOL 221, 222 Human Anatomy and Physiology CHEM 212 General Chemistry General education requirements for the engineering major are substantially different. For a complete list of required general education courses, consult the engineering advisor or the registrar.

Students attend George Fox for three years, taking most of their general education, mathematics, science, and lower-division engineering courses. They may then qualify to transfer to any other engineering school, where they spend two more years completing their engineering degree. Students completing this five-year program will receive two bachelor of science degrees: an applied science degree from George Fox University after their fourth year, and an engineering degree from the cooperating engineering school after their fifth year. *It is strongly recommended that students interested in pursuing the 3/2 option in chemical engineering also enroll in CHEM 325, 326 Organic Chemistry and CHEM 401, 402 Physical Chemistry during their three years at George Fox University. MAJOR REQUIREMENTSRequirements for an applied science major consist of 50 semester hours, to include the following: ENGR 151, 152 Engineering Principles I and II ENGR 250 Principles of Materials Science ENGR 250 Electric Circuit Analysis ENGM 210 Statics and Dynamics ENGM 311 Engineering Thermodynamics MATH 310 Differential Equations PHYS 211, 212 General Physics with Calculus Choose 3 hours of engineering electives from the following: ENGE 220 Digital Logic Design ENGE 311 Electronic Devices and Circuits ENGE 330 Signals and Electrical Systems ENGM 312 Applications of Engineering Thermodynamics ENGM 320 Mechanics of Materials ENGM 330 Fluid Mechanics Choose 6 hours of math electives from the following: MATH 300 Numerical Methods MATH 320 Linear Algebra MATH 331 Probability 12 additional hours in engineering courses are to be transferred back from the cooperating engineering school. 8 hours of CHEM 211, 212 General Chemistry are required, which meet the natural science general education requirement. 11 hours of MATH 201, 202, 301 Calculus I, II, III are required, which meet the mathematics general education requirement. The remainder of the engineering curriculum will be taken in two years at the cooperating engineering school. For a complete list of required courses, consult the engineering advisor or the registrar. General education requirements are substantially different for 3/2 engineering students. Details are available from the engineering advisor or the registrar. |
