No. Since there is a common first year (year and a half) program, all engineering students, regardless of their major, will take the same classes during the first year. In addition, the advisors in Engineering Fundamentals meet with students throughout the year to discuss selecting courses and selecting an engineering major.
The first year or year and a half is common for all engineering programs depending on math readiness (see semester schedules above). With the help of an academic advisor in Engineering Fundamentals (efadvise@mtu.edu), students that still have not decided by the time they complete the first year program, may be able to take common classes for another one or two semesters. Note: this may extend the date of graduation depending on which major is finally chosen.
No. Students with Advanced Placement (AP) and/or dual enrollment credits will be placed into the next appropriate class. Any students with AP and/or dual enrollment credits should meet with their advisor to confirm their semester schedule and discuss creating a graduation plan.
If you have advanced placement (AP) and/or dual enrollment credit, you will be placed into the next appropriate course. For example, if you have credit for Calculus I, you will be placed into Calculus II.
Michigan Tech will register all freshman engineering students for their classes in mid-July. Then, during orientation, students will have the opportunity to add or switch classes as needed.
All BSE student that are graduating Spring, Summer, or Fall 2012 MUST take the FE exam; this is part of the BSE ABET assessment. In addition, this exam will help you in the process of getting your PE license and advancing your career opportunities.
The FE exams for this calendar year will be:
If you did not taking the FE exam this fall and are graduating Spring or Summer 2012, you will need to take the exam in the spring.
Engineering Fundamentals will pay the $125 registration fee. If you plan to take the exam this semester, you will need to:
It’s not too early to start preparing for a summer job; plan ahead for the Michigan Tech Career Fair Spring 2012 by preparing a resume and polishing interview skills.
