These courses and their prerequisites are in the departmental sections of the Catalog and are listed on the department check sheets. Each should be chosen in consultation with a department advisor. ABET Requirements ABET expects the curricular content of an engineering program to include the equivalent of at least three years of study in the areas of mathematics, basic sciences, humanities and social sciences, and engineering topics. The courses in humanities and social sciences must provide both breadth and depth and not be limited to a selection of unrelated introductory courses. Engineering topics include subjects in the engineering sciences and engineering design.
All engineering students follow about the same general curriculum for the first two years.
All engineering programs of study are designed to meet ABET criteria as well as satisfy WSU general education requirements, and all courses should be selected with the assistance of a College of Engineering advisor. The recommended sequence of courses for engineering students in all departments is outlined later in this section. Each sequence has been planned so that students can complete the program to meet all requirements in the minimum time. As part of the institutional effort required to ensure continuous accreditation by ABET, students taking longer than five years to complete an undergraduate degree will be required to meet ABET engineering curricular criteria in effect at the time of their graduation. Students must file an application for degree card in the engineering dean's office two semesters preceding their final semester.
