Introduction to Scientific Programming

Students with a good background in programming can substitute Computer Science & Programming (4) if desired.

General Education Courses (Gen Ed)

Engineers have different general education requirements from the rest of the University. Engineers are required to take four elective Gen Ed courses. Two must be history, humanities, or languages (HHL), one must be social and behavioral science (SBS) and one must be in the arts (ARTS). Of those four courses, one must also be multicultural and global (M/G) and one must also be literature intensive (LIT). It is possible to find a single course that is both M/G and LIT. While M/Gs are well distributed through the HHLs, SBSs and ARTs, LITs are concentrated mostly in HHLs. You can find a list of Gen Ed courses of interest to engineers at the Registrar's site (Select "Click here to view the (Years) General Education and Rowan Experience Guide"). However, please note that this guide is for non-engineering majors. Only use it to identify course that are HHL, SBS, ART, LIT and/or M/G.

Technical Elective

CEE majors take a technical elective in the senior year. A technical elective can be any 300 level or higher engineering course in any discipline (CEE, ChE, ME, ECE), not including courses taken to meet the CEE electives requirement. A technical elective can also be any 300 level or higher course take from any of the following areas, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Economics, Geography, Anthropology, Geology, Mathematics. An example of a technical elective taken outside the college of engineering is Geographic Information Systems I (06.360). Your adviser must approve your technical elective and can help you find a good one.

CEE Electives

Each student selects 4 CEE Electives in their Senior year. They must choose CEE Elective courses so that they complete at least 2 courses in 4 of the five areas offered by CEE at Rowan (Structural, Environmental, Geotechnical, Transportation, and Water Resources). As part of your non-elective classes you take 2 structural courses (Structural Analysis and Design & Analysis and Design of Steel Frames), 2 environmental courses (Environmental Engineering I & II), 1 geotech courses (Geotechnical Engineering), 1 transportation course (Transportation Engineering) and 1 water resources course (Water Resources engineering), so you already have two courses in structures and environmental.

There are three options for chossing your four CEE Electives:

StructuralEmphasis - Take two Structural electives and an elective from two of the following, Geotechnical, Transportation, and Water Resources (e.g., one Geotechnical and one Transportation).

Environmental Emphasis - Take two Environmental electives and an elective from two of the following areas, Geotechnical, Transportation, and Water Resources (e.g., one Water Resources and one Transportation).

No Emphasis - Take any four CEE electives from the Structural, Environmental, Geotechnical, Transportation, or Water Resources areas, as long as they include electives from at least two of the following areas, Geotechnical, Transportation, or Water Resources (e.g., one from Water Resources and one from Geotechnical and two from any area).

Minimum Grade Requirements (for students entering Fall 2007 or later)

The table below shows courses that must be passed with a grade of C- or better (first column) in order to take subsequent courses (second column).
