The bachelor of science programs in computer science and engineering technology, construction en-gineering technology, mechanical engineering technology and electrical engineering technology are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, Telephone: 410.347.7700. The program in computer science and engineering technology is also accredited by the Computing Accreditation Commission (CAC) of ABET.
Undergraduate Degree Programs
The College of Engineering offers seven bachelor of science in engineering programs
–
bioengineer-ing, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer science and engineering,
electrical engineering, industrial engineering and
mechanical engineering. The college also offers four bachelor of science in engineering
technology programs - computer science and engineering
technology, construction engi-neering technology, electrical engineering technology
and mechanical engineering technology - and a bachelor of
science program in information technology. A minor in computer science and engineering
is also available. Details are found in the Undergraduate
Degree Programs of Study section of this catalog.
Students may wish to consider a dual degree plan within the College of Engineering. Depending on which two curricula are involved, careful planning from the beginning may permit the completion of both degrees with less than a full year of additional study. In any dual degree plan, the student must be accepted by both major departments and have an adviser from each of the two degree programs. With any combination, the curricular requirements of each individual degree must be met.
Graduate Programs
The College of Engineering also offers a full range of graduate programs. Refer to
the Graduate School
section for information on programs and policies specifically related to graduate
students.
Cooperative (Co-op) Education Program
Students in the engineering programs must complete a cooperative (co-op) educational
requirement. The purpose of the co-op program is to provide students with career-related
experiences. The pro-gram also helps students defray the
cost of their education and enhances employment opportunities
after graduation. The curriculum in each of the engineering programs is set up to accommodate four, and in some cases five, co-op assignments. To satisfy the requirement, a student must successfully participate in at least three semester-long work experiences, alternating with semesters of coursework, but many participate in four or more. The student pays a $475 fee for each of the first three regis-tered co-op experiences. Successful completion of each registered work experience appears on the student’s transcript. A student with a registered work experience is considered a full time student for that term. The college will assist students in finding co-op positions, but does not guarantee placement. Elaborations on implementation policies are available in the college’s Career Management Center.
For students in the engineering technology degree programs, participation in the co-op program is op-tional. Students who wish to participate in this program should contact the Career Management Cen-ter in the College of Engineering at 419.530.8050.
First Time Freshmen
To be considered for admission to any bachelor of science program in engineering,
first time fresh-man
students need a minimum cumulative high school GPA of 3.0 (or GED average standard
score of 510) and a minimum ACT composite score of 22 (or SAT
combined score of 1030). Those taking the ACT or SAT must submit a writing section
score. Students also must successfully complete a minimum of
four years of high school mathematics (with coverage of trigonometry or precalculus)
and high school chemistry (physics also is strongly
recommended). Students who do not meet the mini-mum requirements will be considered
for admission to an engineering technology program or they
may choose another University program.
Tobe considered for admission to one of the bachelor of science in engineering technology programs or information technology program, first time freshman students need a minimum cumulative high school GPA of 2.25 (or GED average standard score of 480) and a minimum ACT composite score of 21 (or SAT combined score of 990). Those taking the ACT or SAT must submit a writing section score. Students who do not meet the minimum requirements will be considered for admission to the UT Learning Collaborative Gateway Programs or may choose another University program.
Transfer Students
Transfer students seeking admission to the bachelor of science programs in bioengineering,
chemical
engineering, civil engineering, computer science and engineering, electrical engineering
or mechani-cal engineering must have a minimum GPA of
2.75 from all previous college or university work and have college credit for MATH
1850 Calculus I and CHEM 1230 General Chemistry, or
equivalents, with grades of at least a C. Students who have attended more than one
university will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Students transferring into the College of Engineering bachelor of science in engineering technology programs in construction engineering technology, electrical engineering technology, mechanical engineer-ing technology and computer science and engineering technology from other colleges within the Uni-versity or from other universities must have obtained a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.25 is required to transfer into the College of Engineering bachelor of science pro-gram in information technology. Students not admitted to an engineering program may not take engi-neering courses unless those courses are required for a degree program outside of engineering.
Students transferring from other institutions must earn at least 32 hours of undergraduate credit in resi-dence at The University of Toledo. At least 14 of these must be in the major area. The remaining credit hours are to be in engineering topics or in other areas that satisfy degree requirements.
Full-time students must take their last semester in residence (part-time students must take their last 14 hours in residence) unless exceptional arrangements have been made in advance with the associate dean of undergraduate studies in the college.
A total of 128 hours of course credit is required for the bachelor of science degrees, not including co-op hours. Normally, 64 hours of the baccalaureate programs in engineering technology may be trans-ferred from an accredited community or technical college. Additional transfer credits may be applied over the 64-semester hour limit at the discretion of the undergraduate program director.
Honors Program
The Honors Program in the College of Engineering provides opportunities for challenging
and individual study
to undergraduate students of unusually high ability, motivation and initiative.
Students with a minimum high school GPA of 3.5 and a minimum ACT composite of 25 are encour-aged to apply. Current University of Toledo students and transfer students may apply for admission to the Honors Program if they have completed at least 15, but not more than 60, graded semester hours with a minimum UT GPA of at 3.5, and have been interviewed by an honors adviser. All admis-sions to the Honors Program are granted on a space-available basis.
Toreceive the College Honors citation upon graduation from an engineering bachelor’s
degree pro-gram, the following criteria must be met:
1. A minimum higher education GPA of 3.3.
2. A total of 33 semester hours in honors courses, six of which must be in the
interdisciplinary honors area (Readings Conference) and 10 of which must be in honors
courses offered by the UT College of Engineering.
3.
An honors thesis or honors project.
Students in the College of Engineering are subject to the general regulations that apply to all students enrolled in The University of Toledo. The University’s General Academic Policies are in the General Section of this catalog. In addition, certain regulations apply only to those who are enrolled in the Col-lege of Engineering. These are described below.
General Degree Requirements
To obtain a degree in an undergraduate program, students must have the proper number
of credit
hours in courses required for the curriculum, a minimum overall cumulative GPA of
2.0 (average of C), and a minimum GPA of 2.0 in the student’s
major. When a course is repeated (see below), only the grade the last time a course
was taken is used in the calculation of the major GPA.
Curricular Requirements
All seven of the 128-hour bachelor of science programs in engineering have a common
structure of
mathematics, basic sciences, humanities/fine arts, social sciences, multicultural
studies and engineering topics, plus three required semesters
of co-operative education. The five 128-hour bachelor’s programs in engineering technology
and information technology have curricula that
lead to bachelor of science degrees, for which co-operative education is optional.
The required curriculum and recommended course sequence for each program is presented in the Un-dergraduate Degree Programs of Study section of this catalog. These curricula permit the student to complete the engineering degree requirements, along with the co-op requirement, in five years; and the engineering technology and information technology degree requirements, without co-op, in four years.
University Core Curriculum
All degree candidates are required to complete between 27 and 30 credit hours of courses
that
com-prise the University General Education/Core Curriculum. The courses are distributed
in the areas of English composition, humanities/fine
arts, social sciences, natural sciences, mathematics and multi-cultural studies. Completing
the University General Education/Core Curriculum will
satisfy the human-ities/fine arts/social sciences/multicultural requirement in the
College of Engineering. Please refer to the General Section of
this catalog for additional information.
Pass/No Credit Option
Engineering students have the option to take a maximum of two humanities/fine arts/social
science/multicultural courses on a pass/no credit basis. Pass/no credit grade forms
are available in the Engineering Undergraduate Office
(Nitschke Hall Room 1045). The form must be returned to the Re-gistrar’s Office before
the end of the 15th calendar day of the term.
Repeated Courses/GPA Recalculation
Students may repeat a previously attempted course. If the grade in the repeated course
is
higher, the student may petition the college in which the course is taught to have
the initial grade excluded from the overall GPA calculation.
Complete information about the GPA Recalculation Policy may be found in
the General Section of this catalog. Note that all grades, including those for repeated courses, will be included in the determination of eligibility for graduation honors, fellowships, or other distinctions awarded on the basis of GPA. However, when a course in the major is repeated, only the grade the last time the course is taken is used in the major GPA calculation.
Required Academic Performance
All students are expected to maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0. A student who
achieves
less than a 2.0 GPA the first semester will be placed on probation and is expected
to make marked advancement in subsequent semesters in order to
achieve an overall 2.0 GPA. Anything less will lead to suspension or dismissal according
to the policy outlined in the next section.
After 100 hours have been attempted, students should request a degree audit from their undergra-duate director to formulate plans for completion of the program and obtain the necessary approval of the associate dean of undergraduate studies. Preparation of the final two-semester schedule should be completed to assure that the degree requirements will be met. Application for graduation should be made to the Registrar’s Office before the published deadline, in accordance with the procedures noted in the General Section of this catalog.
Probation, Suspension, Readmission and Dismissal
After each semester, each student’s progress is reviewed. Students who
do not meet the minimum academic achievement level will be placed on probation or,
if already on probation, may be suspended or dismissed from
the college according to the rules below:
Probation
1. A student whose cumulative GPA is less than 2.0 will be placed on probation. In
successive semesters, a student
may remain in school as long as he/she continues to earn a GPA greater than 2.0 in
each term. However, the student will remain on probation as
long as the cumulative GPA is below 2.0. A student is removed from probation when
the cumulative GPA is above 2.0.
2. A student earning a
1.5 GPA or less in any semester, regardless of the overall GPA, will be placed on
probation.
3. Students on probation will not be permitted
to interview for co-op positions.
Suspension
1. A student on probation whose cumulative and current semester GPA is below 2.0 will
be subject to suspension
from the college for one semester.
2. Consideration of a student’s petition for reinstatement will be given only after
one semester
from the date of suspension. In some circumstances, the suspension may be deferred.
Readmission
1. Readmission will only be by written petition to the college’s associate dean of
undergraduate stu-dies.
Readmission decisions will be made by the associate dean of undergraduate studies
in conjunction with the department to which the student is
requesting readmission.
2. The petition must be neatly written and must be received at least one month prior
to the start of the semester
the student desires to return.
Dismissal
1. If readmission is granted after a suspension, the student will be subject to dismissal
from the col-lege unless
he/she earns a semester GPA greater than 2.0 each term until the cumulative GPA is
above 2.0.
2. Further consideration of a student’s
petition for reinstatement will be given only after one year from the date of dismissal.
Professional Registration
Registration by the State of Ohio as a Professional Engineer is important for professional
practice
and requires four to eight years of engineering experience after graduation. However,
the first step is apply-ing for and passing the
Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination, formerly known as the Engi-neer-in-Training
(EIT) exam. The exam is generally given in April and
October of each year. Applica-tion deadlines, however, are several months earlier.
All engineering graduates are strongly encour-aged to take the
FE near their date of graduation and are permitted to sit for the exam up to six months
prior to graduation with a letter from the dean. After
four years of acceptable engineering experience, the State Board of Registration will
permit the engineering graduate to take the Professional
Engineers (PE) examination. Engineering technology graduates must pass the FE exam
and need a minimum of eight years of engineering experience
before taking the PE exam.
For students graduating in the spring or summer, the FE Examination is given at several locations around Ohio on a Saturday in April. For fall graduates, the exam is given on a Saturday in October. Applications should be filed with the board in Columbus at least 90 days prior to the examination date. Additional information is available in the Office of Undergraduate Studies, from the Secretary of the Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors, 77 S. High St., Columbus, OH 43266-0314, www.ohiopeps.org, or from the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Sur-veying Web site at www.ncees.org.

Special Programs for Undergraduates
Minor in Business Administration
Engineering students may earn a minor in business administration by earning a C or
better in
six busi-ness courses, plus at least one economics course. The economics requirement
may be satisfied with MIME 2600 or with ECON 1150 and 1200.
The six business courses must include BUAD 2040, while the other five may be selected
from the list in the College of Business Administration
section. For stu-dents whose goal is to earn an M.B.A., the following six courses
are recommended:
BUAD 2040 Financial Accounting
Information
BUAD 2050 Accounting for Business Decision Making
BUAD 3010 Principles of Marketing
BUAD 3020 Principles of
Manufacturing and Service Systems
BUAD 3030 Managerial and Behavioral Processes in Organizations
BUAD 3040 Principles of Financial
Management
Students not interested in an M.B.A. may wish to make substitutions in this list. For example, IBUS 3150, Understanding Cultural Differences for Business, could be used in place of any of the above courses except BUAD 2040, to simultaneously satisfy part of the multicultural requirement in the Uni-versity Core Curriculum. The flexibility of the requirements allows students to focus in areas such as marketing, sales, finance, management or entrepreneurship.
Students must be sophomores to take the 2000-level business courses and juniors to take the 3000-level courses. Also, BUAD 2040 must be taken before BUAD 3040, and the economics requirement must be satisfied before taking BUAD 3010. Otherwise, business prerequisites are waived for engi-neering students. Students should register with the College of Business Administration to become candidates for the business minor.
Students in the industrial or mechanical engineering programs may use one of the business courses as a technical elective. Students in the civil or electrical engineering programs may use one of the business courses as a technical elective if they complete the business minor requirements. Students in the chemical or computer science and engineering program may use business courses as free elec-tives. Students in engineering technology programs may use one or more of the business courses as professional development electives.
Students interested in a business minor should consult advisers in the College of Business Administra-tion and the College of Engineering.
Early Admission to Master of Science in Engineering
The College of Engineering offers students currently enrolled in a
bachelor of science in engineering program at The University of Toledo an opportunity
to begin work toward a master of science degree in
engineering. This option offers talented students who intend to continue their education
beyond the B.S. a unique opportunity to begin their
graduate research activities at an earlier stage in their career and proceed into
the graduate programs in a timely manner.
Upto nine semester credit hours of graduate-level technical elective or required courses may be ap-plied toward the B.S. degree in lieu of selected undergraduate elective courses, subject to specific departmental restrictions. Only 5000-level or higher engineering courses taken at The University of To-ledo may be applied toward this option. In addition, an approved M.S. plan of study must be filed indicating those courses that will be accepted in lieu of specific B.S. course requirements. Application and admission requirements are described in the graduate section of the catalog.
Normally, the B.S. engineering degree programs (with co-op) require five years and the M.S. engineer-ing degree programs require an additional two years. It is anticipated that by participating in this option, a total of six years will be required for the completion of both degrees.
Joint B.S. in Engineering or Engineering Technology/M.B.A. Program
The College of Business Administration, in conjunction
with the College of Engineering, offers a pro-gram whereby a student may earn a bachelor
of science in engineering or engineering technology and
a master of business administration (M.B.A.). This program provides a unique opportunity
to combine business and engineering skills to prepare
graduates for global competitiveness and supports the mis-sion to prepare corporate
leaders for the future. The program should be particularly
attractive to stu-dents who want to start their own company or who simply want to
develop an appreciation for how en-gineering and business
complement each other.
This program will allow engineering students in their final two semesters of study to begin taking M.B.A. courses while completing their B.S. Students with senior standing may be formally admitted in-to the M.B.A. program and can complete the M.B.A. at the end of six years of study. The business undergraduate prerequisites can be satisfied as part of the undergraduate curriculum.
Tobe admitted to the program, students must have senior standing, score a minimum of 450 on the Graduate Management Admissions Test (GMAT) and have at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA. Students also must have completed the requirements for the business minor. The business minor courses should be chosen carefully; however, as not all business minor courses can be used towards the M.B.A. The six business courses listed in the business minor section plus MIME 2600 or ECON 1150 and 1200 satisfy the basic core prerequisite requirement for the M.B.A. program for engineering stu-dents.
Students who wish to pursue the program should inform the associate dean of undergraduate studies in the College of Engineering during their junior year and complete the GMAT by the end of their junior year. Students should submit completed application materials to the Graduate School for admission to the M.B.A. program before fall semester of their senior year. Upon admission to the program by the Graduate School and the College of Business Administration, students will be classified as special pro-visional graduate students so that they may take graduate courses while completing the bachelor of science degree requirements. Students’ special status must be tracked by the M.B.A. office to assure AACSB compliance. Also, the B.S. in engineering or engineering technology must be granted in a semester prior to graduating with the M.B.A.
Tosatisfy the requirements for the M.B.A., students must complete all of the core and elective required courses in the M.B.A. program. By choosing the correct courses, this may be accomplished with six undergraduate- and 11 graduate-level business courses.
Normally, the B.S. engineering degree programs (with co-op) require five years, and the M.B.A. would require an additional two years. It is anticipated that by enrolling in the two programs simulta-neously, a total of six years will be required for completion of both degrees. Similarly, for engineering technology students, the degree program normally requires four years, and the M.B.A. program would require an additional two years. It is anticipated that by enrolling in the two programs simultaneously, a total of five and one half years will be required for completion of both degrees.
