INTRODUCTION
The College of ECS has Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering which offer programs leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in these disciplines; the three Bachelor of Science degree programs in Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering are nationally accredited by ABET, the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. The college also offers a new program in Computer Engineering which has been designed to meet all ABET criteria for accreditation and a Master of Science in Software Engineering.

CSUF is located in an industrial and highly technological region of Southern California. Drawing upon its professional expertise in many areas of engineering, the Engineering programs serve as distinctive resources and catalysts for partnership with public and private organizations in our region. Our nationally accredited undergraduate engineering programs offer a broad education in basic sciences, mathematics, and fundamental principles and practice of engineering. These are coupled with studies in social sciences, arts, humanities, and behavioral sciences due to their importance for an engineer's professional career.

MISSION AND OBJECTIVES
Mission Statement
Consistent with the university's mission, learning is the first priority in Engineering. To implement its mission, the engineering programs at CSUF provide the best qualities of teaching, scholarship and professional practice. The programs are committed to facilitate the education of both engineering undergraduate and graduate students for their entrance in, and significant contribution to the engineering profession. Our students are actively engaged and work in collaboration with faculty and staff to acquire and expand knowledge. The objectives for our mission are further elaborated under "Educational Objectives."

Educational Objectives
The goals of the programs are as follows:

1. To provide the best of current practice, theory, research and intellectual study in the humanities to prepare students for challenging careers in engineering, strengthen relationships to their communities and contribute ethically and productively to society;

2. To educate students who, actively engaged with faculty and staff, work in collaboration to acquire and expand knowledge;

3. To provide service to the profession, the state of California, the country and to the world-wide development of engineering.

A critical focus of the education, research, and service programs within Engineering is to afford undergraduates of varying backgrounds and abilities every opportunity for achieving success in the engineering professions.

To achieve these goals, the faculty and students in Engineering, with input from other constituents, have established the following program educational objectives:

1. To prepare students for successful careers and lifelong learning;

2. To make students thoroughly proficient in methods of analysis, including the mathematical and computational skills appropriate for engineers to use when solving problems; and

3. To develop the skills pertinent to the design process, including the students' ability to formulate problems, to think creatively, to communicate effectively, to synthesize information, and to work collaboratively;

4. To teach students to use current experimental and data analysis techniques for engineering application; and

5. To instill in our students an understanding of their professional and ethical responsibilities.

Actual program educational objectives for various disciplines such as Civil and Environmental Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering are decided by the respective programs to match their program outcomes.

2 + 2 Articulated Programs with Community Colleges
The programs in Engineering have developed 2+2 articulation agreements with community colleges to provide students seamless transfer to the CSUF engineering program of their choice. This allows the full-time students, taking the courses specified by the engineering department each semester, to graduate in two years following transfer to CSUF.

INTRODUCTION
The undergraduate engineering programs have a broad base of science, mathematics, social sciences, humanities and engineering topics (which include engineering science and engineering design courses). Students are thus prepared to enter directly into engineering practice or to continue further education at the graduate level.

High School Preparation
The entering high school student should have a preparation which includes two years of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and one year of physics or chemistry. Students deficient in mathematics or chemistry must take special preparatory courses, i.e., Mathematics 125 and Chemistry 115, which will not carry credit for the major. (See Mathematics Section for Entry Level Mathematics test and Math-Science Qualifying Examination requirements.)

Transfer Students
A transfer student shall complete a minimum of 30 units in residence of which at least 15 units shall be taken in upper-division engineering courses. Work taken at another college or university on which a grade below "C minus" (1.7) was earned may not be substituted for upper-division courses.

GENERAL ENGINEERING COURSES

Courses are designated as EGGN in the class schedule.

PHARMACEUTICAL ENGINEERING COURSES
