Your engineering education is like a pyramid, built on a foundation of your high school and life experience

How is the CurriculumStructured?

Freshman year is built on that foundation to make you aware of math and the sciences

Why is the Curriculum

so structured? EAC/ABET

– Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology

– Traditional engineering disciplines CAC/ABET

– Computer Accreditation Commission of the Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology

– Computer Science They require specific minimums

Minimum Requirements for Traditional

Engineering Disciplines 1 year of Math & Science 1 1/2 years of Engineering Topics

- Engineering Science & Design A general education component

(University Studies Program) A major design experience Specific requirements for each

major All engineering & computer

science programs are accredited

Common Pitfalls

Need a “C” or better in all courses that are prerequisites to required ES courses. For example, ES 2110 (Statics) and MATH 2205 (Calculus II) are prerequisites to ES 2120 (Dynamics).

COSC students need a “C” or better in all COSC courses.

Common Pitfalls

If you require PHYS 1210 (Engr Physics I) in your curriculum, then you must complete it before or concurrently with ES 2120 (Dynamics)

If you require PHYS 1220 (Engr Physics II) in your curriculum, then it is strongly suggested that you complete it before or concurrently with ES 2210 (Circuits)

Registration

Advising week is Nov 3 – 7, 2014 Go to your advisor’s office at least the

week before and sign up for an appointment on his/her door schedule.

Prepare a tentative schedule prior to your meeting (See what classes are coming up and make a schedule that fits the available classes. This is your job, not the advisors!)

There are no Power Groups in the Spring

Registration

Once you and your advisor have agreed on a set of courses, prepare a Course Request Form with specific sections of those courses

Class schedules can be found online or you can do a Class Lookup on WyoWeb

http://www.uwyo.edu/registrar/class_schedules/index.html

Get advisor’s signature on your Course Request Form. The advisor may have your PERC number, otherwise…

Take your signed course request form to your departmental office staff to receive your PERC number and time/date to register– The PERC number is different

each semester

Registration

Registration

Use WyoWeb at your assigned time

Confirm your local address (change with the Office of the Registrar if necessary), note any holds or stops

If you have difficulties (i.e. closed classes) see your advisor, the departmental staff or the Center for Student Services in EN 2079

Mid-term Reports

Must access your mid-term grade report via WyoWeb

P/D/F Blank – class not reported by

instructor

Withdrawals

Drop/Add– Early in semester (Sept 12, 2014 to drop,

Sept 16, 2014 to add)– No grade

Class Withdrawal– Last day to withdraw is Nov 7, 2014– Receive “W” grade

University Withdrawal– Last day is Nov 26, 2014– No grades or credit for any classes– Must be initiated at Dean of Students’ Office
