General Information
The
Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program of UM-St. Louis and Washington
University was approved in 1993 by the University of Missouri and the
Coordinating Board for Higher Education. The program is designed to offer
course work beyond the pre-engineering courses at UM-St. Louis and the
area community colleges. Pre-engineering and general education courses
are offered at UM-St. Louis, and upper-level engineering courses are
offered in the evenings and on Saturdays on the Washington University
campus: this schedule permits students to co-op during the day at local
engineering firms. Students will be admitted to the upper-division program
only after they have completed an acceptable pre-engineering program.
They can earn a bachelor of science in civil engineering (B.S.C.E.),
a bachelor of science in electrical engineering (B.S.E.E.), or a bachelor
of science in mechanical engineering (B.S.M.E.).
The B.S.C.E., the B.S.E.E., and the B.S.M.E.
are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), 111 Market Place, Suite
1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 – telephone: (410)347-7700.

Science Requirements
The
number of semester hours assigned to each engineering course in the
Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program is further divided into hours
of engineering design, engineering science, and basic science content.
Engineering topics is the sum of engineering science hours and engineering
design hours. The following table shows the design hours and engineering
science hours for courses in the engineering programs.
Each engineering student must complete a curriculum that contains at
least 48 hours of engineering topics semester hours, including all courses:
pre-engineering requirements, engineering core requirements, major requirements,
and electives. Civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering majors should
consult with their Advisors to select electives at the 3000 and 4000
level that include sufficient engineering design and engineering science
content to produce the required totals. Transfer courses from other institutions
do not necessarily have the same engineering science and engineering
design content as their equivalents in the UM-St. Louis/Washington University
Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program. Students who include transfer
courses in their curricula should consult with their Advisors to be sure
that these requirements are met.
Fees
Students register
on the UM-St. Louis campus and pay UM-St. Louis fees plus an engineering
fee for both pre-engineering and engineering courses. Limits on enrollments
are determined by the availability of resources.
Career Outlook
Engineering
is one of the few careers in which the bachelor's degree is a professional
degree. Students earning a bachelor of science degree in one of the
engineering disciplines are well qualified for entry-level engineering
positions in a variety of businesses, industries, consulting firms,
and government agencies. As society becomes increasingly dependent
on technology, the outlook for all engineering disciplines becomes
increasingly bright. Engineering careers typically rank at, or very
near, the top of virtually any published rating of promising jobs for
the 21st Century. Besides tackling challenging technical problems,
roughly two-thirds of all engineers will have some level of management
responsibility within ten years of receiving their bachelor's degrees.
Many practicing engineers will eventually continue their education
by pursuing graduate degrees on a part-time basis. Typical areas of
graduate study include all advanced technical and scientific fields
and management.
