ENGINEERS ARE FACED with worldwide problems and expectations awesome in responsibility, yet exciting as professional challenges. These range from the extremes of interplanetary exploration through earth orbiting systems to the problems arising from our population explosion: energy, better productivity, housing, transportation and environmental issues.

As a renewed appreciation develops for the contributions of science and technology, engineering leaders are calling for engineers who are better equipped to tackle the specific, technical problems of the future. They also are calling for engineers who by breadth of education and understanding of other disciplines can convince others of the role of engineers not only in technical matters but in policy decisions to ensure the use of technology to benefit mankind.

Freshmen eligibility is determined by the Office of Enrollment Services. However, since the requirements for engineering education necessitate high school preparatory work of high intellectual quality and of considerable breadth, the following program is recommended as minimum preparation: English, four units; mathematics (including algebra, geometry, and trigonometry), four units; chemistry, one unit; history, literature, social science, two or three units. Calculus, physics and foreign languages are recommended but not required.

Transfers from other institutions must apply through the Office of Enrollment Services. The exact placement in courses can be determined only upon review of the student's transcript by the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. See Admission of Transfer Students for complete requirements.

The college allows credit for courses completed with satisfactory grades provided the courses correspond in time and content to courses offered at Auburn. Courses that are taught at the 3000-level or higher at Auburn are generally not transferable from junior colleges.

Many courses required by the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering are highly specialized in their content and potential transfer students need to select courses with care. Therefore, to ensure maximum transferability of credits, students are encouraged to contact the College as soon as possible about acceptable credits.

The Pre-Engineering Program consists of a freshman program of studies to prepare students for curricula in the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. It also provides academic and career counseling to assist students in determining the curriculum that best fulfills their personal and educational objectives.

The following describes the requirements for entering freshmen pre-engineering students to move into major. These requirements must be completed by the end of the fourth semester enrolled at Auburn, not including summers.

The following undergraduate engineering programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, : Aerospace Engineering, Biosystems Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Polymer and Fiber Engineering, Software Engineering, and Wireless Engineering.

These curricula are designed to meet the educational requirements of the engineering professions. The program in the fundamental sciences of mathematics, chemistry and physics is followed by a study of basic engineering sciences. Specialized or departmental courses are taken in the third and fourth years. Flexibility is provided in all degree programs through electives so that the individual may emphasize areas of personal interest.

A bioprocess engineering option, an ecological engineering option and a forest engineering option are available under the biosystems engineering program. The forest engineering option is offered jointly by the Department of Biosystems Engineering and the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment.

The Samuel Ginn College of Engineering offers masters (thesis and non-thesis) and PhD degrees in aerospace engineering, biosystems engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, computer science and software engineering, electrical and computer engineering, industrial and systems engineering, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, and polymer and fiber engineering. The college offers additional masters degrees including the master of engineering management, master of engineering (interdisciplinary), MS in cybersecurity engineering, and MS in data science and engineering (joint with the College of Sciences and Mathematics). The college also offers a dual-degree master of science in industrial and systems engineering and master of business administration.

The Engineering Online and Continuing Education Office extends the resources of the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering to the people, businesses and industries of the state. Programs in this service are technical assistance, short courses, conferences, workshops and seminars. For more information, contact: Director, Engineering Online and Continuing Education Programs, 217 Ramsay Hall, Auburn, AL 36849.

The college offers graduate-level courses for credit and non-credit to off-campus students through its Graduate Outreach Program. Graduate-level courses are recorded in the classroom on the Auburn campus and delivered to off-campus students via streaming video. Students enrolled in the program are required to do the same homework assignments and take the same exams as the on-campus students enrolled in the course. For information on admission to the program, fees, course offerings and other particulars, write to Engineering Online and Continuing Education Programs, 217 Ramsay Hall, Auburn, AL 36849 or call (334) 844-5807.

All curricula in the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering permit the use of six hours of basic or advanced ROTC courses passed at Auburn University. For the options, see the specific curriculum. For programs that do not have sufficient electives, credit will be determined on an individual basis. ROTC courses cannot be substituted for university core courses or courses required by the major except as specified in the curriculum model.
