2005-06 Undergraduate Catalog

Majors

Engineering – Interdisciplinary Studies
College: Engineering
Degree: Bachelor of Science
Hours for the Degree: 120
Combined-Degree Program: No
Website: www.eng.ufl.edu

Students who want a markedly different engineering program should contact the Office of Academic Programs in Weil Hall, Room 312.

Requirements for admission to an interdisciplinary studies program leading to a B.S. degree include a strong educational commitment and a grade point average of at least 2.5.

The program requires approval of a committee consisting of three engineering faculty and the academic dean of the college, and must satisfy the minimum engineering science course requirements.

Critical Tracking and Semester Plan

Semester 1:

  • 2.0 UF GPA required for semesters 1-5
  • 2.5 GPA on all critical-tracking course work for semesters 1-5
  • Complete 1 of 8 tracking courses with a minimum grade of C within two attempts (CHM 2045, CHM 2046, MAC 2311, MAC 2312, MAC 2313, MAP 2302, PHY 2048, PHY 2049)

Semester 2:

  • Complete 1 additional course with a minimum grade of C within two attempts

Semester 3:

  • Complete 2 additional courses with a minimum grade of C within two attempts

Semester 4:

  • Complete 2 additional courses with a minimum grade of C within two attempts

Semester 5:

  • Complete all 8 critical-tracking courses with a minimum grade of C in each course within two attempts

Engineering, Undecided – Interdisciplinary Studies

This is intended for students who want engineering as a major but are NOT prepared to take CHM 2045 or MAC 2311 their first semester at UF. This is NOT a degree-granting major. You must choose one of the degree-seeking majors in engineering by semester 3.

Semester 1:

  • 2.0 UF GPA required for semesters 1-5
  • 2.5 GPA on all critical-tracking course work for semesters 1-5
  • Complete CHM 1025 and MAC 1147 with a minimum grade of C within 2 attempts (including withdrawals)

Semester 2:

  • Complete 2 of the 8 tracking courses (CHM 2045, CHM 2046, MAC 2311, MAC 2312, MAC 2313, MAP 2302, PHY 2048, PHY 2049) with a minimum grade of C within two attempts (including withdrawals)

Semester 3:

  • Complete 2 additional courses with a minimum grade of C within two attempts (including withdrawals)

Semester 4:

  • Complete 2 additional courses with a minimum grade of C within two attempts (including withdrawals)

Semester 5:

  • Complete all 8 critical-tracking courses with a minimum grade of C in each course within two attempts

To remain on track, students must complete the appropriate critical-tracking courses, which will be bold.
