Advisors, department chairs, and deans are available to help the student understand and meet these requirements; but the student is responsible for fulfilling them. If, at the end of a student s course of study, the requirements for graduation have not been satisfied, the degree will not be granted. For this reason, it is important for students to acquaint themselves with all academic requirements throughout their college careers and to be responsible for completing all requirements within prescribed deadlines and time limits student must satisfy the requirements of his/her curriculum in order to receive a degree. 2

3 1 Highlights and Changes from Previous version 1. Petitions are required for students to be cleared to register for courses if the student has below a 2.2 overall or engineering GPA, effective Spring IE 2010 is renumbered as IE 3010 in Fall 2015 this means that General Engineering students cannot take it in Fall 2015 and later. 3. A section describing how to change majors into IE is included. 4. Effective Fall 2012, students must have a C or better in some of the prerequisites for CE 2010, CE 2080 and CE The advising form now requires the student s initials. 6. The substitution of ENGR 1300 (or CHE 1300) plus one of CPSC 1610, 1110 or 1010 for ENGR 1410 (ENGR 1070, 1080, 1090) is now documented in Section The 0708 and earlier curricula is no longer documented herein. Contact the undergraduate coordinator for this information. 8. The location of the College HSS list is updated. It is now at 2 IE Objectives and Outcomes Educational Objectives: The Industrial Engineering program prepares graduates to: design, develop, implement, and improve integrated systems that include people, materials, information, equipment, and energy using appropriate analytical, computational and experimental practices apply information technologies to the practice of industrial engineering conduct themselves in a professional and ethical manner work and communicate effectively with colleagues at every level in the organization Approved by the Faculty of the Department of Industrial Engineering on September 22, Program Outcomes: Students in the Industrial Engineering program attain: an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility an ability to communicate effectively the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental, and societal context a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning a knowledge of contemporary issues an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice an ability to design, develop, implement and improve integrated systems that include people, materials, information, equipment and energy using appropriate analytical, computational and experimental practices an ability to apply information technologies to the practice of industrial engineering the requisite background for graduate education in industrial engineering and allied disciplines Approved by the Faculty of the Department of Industrial Engineering on September 22, student must satisfy the requirements of his/her curriculum in order to receive a degree. 3

7 and later Prerequisite Flowchart Based on 1415 Catalog Descriptions This flow chart is provided for reference only. It is based on the BSIE curriculum in the catalogs, with prerequisites current in the 1415 catalog. student must satisfy the requirements of his/her curriculum in order to receive a degree. 7

8 5.3 IE General Education and IE HSS Worksheet 0506 and later Industrial Engineering curricula include a minimum of 15 credits of humanities/social science courses selected so as to satisfy Clemson University's General Education Humanities and Social Science Requirements, as well as the College of Engineering and Science Guidelines for Humanities and Social Sciences (COES HSS Course). The 12 units required by Clemson University's General Education Humanities and Social Science Requirements in categories V and VI are included in the 15 units required by the College of Engineering and Science for the 0506 and later BSIE curricula. All courses listed in the GenEd categories V and VI are included in the additional 3 units required by the College of Engineering and Science Guidelines for Humanities and Social Sciences (COES HSS Course). The courses that can be used to satisfy the COES HSS Course are documented at Please note that not all STS courses can be used to satisfy the COES HSS Course. The table below can help you track the HSS requirements. VII VIII Category Course CCA STS V: Arts & Humanities: Literature V: Arts & Humanities: non-literature VI: Social Sci. VI: Social Sci. (diff. field than above) COES HSS course If no courses above satisfy CCA, CCA: If no courses above satisfy STS, STS: 5.4 Information for ROTC Students ROTC students are required to satisfy the curriculum in which they are enrolled. Many ROTC students are under the impression that they do not need to complete COMM 1500/2500 since they are in the ROTC program. This is not true entirely. The IE department allows the ROTC Oral Communication cluster courses (AS 3090, 3100, 4090, 4100 or ML 1010, 1020) to be substituted for COMM 1500/2500 using the Form to Request Substitution for an Academic Requirement in the curricula. The ROTC Oral Communication cluster is integrated into the requirements of the 1415 BSIE curriculum. Moreover, ML 3010 or AS 3090 can be used for the Management Requirement. Army ROTC students can use HIST 3900 or POSC 4580 for the COES HSS course. 5.5 Information regarding the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam The BSIE curriculum at Clemson University is designed to offer students the opportunity to prepare for the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam. Passing the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam is the first step in pursuing a professional engineering license. The National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying manages the process and documents it at their website The 0910 and later BSIE curricula includes the following required courses outside of Industrial Engineering in part to support instruction in the topics on the FE: CME 2100 Introduction to Materials Science ECE 2070/2080 Basic Electrical Engineering CE 2010 Statics CE 2080 Dynamics OR Ethics and Professional Practice course The courses allowed to satisfy the Management Requirement are selected to support the IE FE exam topics in Industrial Management. student must satisfy the requirements of his/her curriculum in order to receive a degree. 8

10 7 Co-op Schedules The Industrial Engineering Department supports the Co-operative Education Program. If you plan to participate, you must be aware that the IE department offers most courses only once per fall/spring semester, and you need to be prepared for your graduation to be delayed by one calendar year, even if you only participate in the co-op program for one regular semester. Please consult your advisor before taking any co-op assignment, and especially before taking a co-op assignment that is not listed below. Co-op Option #1 Standard Curriculum begin summer, prior to sophomore year Fall spring fall spring summer fa, soph sp, soph co-op fa, jr sp, jr fa, soph co-op fa, sr sp, sr co-op sp, soph fa, jr sp, jr fa, sr sp, sr Co-op Option #2 Co-op Option #3 begin fall, sophomore year begin spring, sophomore year fall spring Summer Fall spring summer MATH 2060* fa, soph co-op co-op sp, soph co-op co-op sp, soph co-op fa, soph co-op fa, jr sp, jr fa, jr sp, jr fa, sr sp, sr fa, sr sp, sr Co-op Option #4 Co-op Option #5 begin summer, after sophomore year begin fall, junior year fall spring Summer fall spring summer fa, soph sp, soph co-op fa, soph sp, soph IE 3600** fa, jr co-op co-op sp, jr co-op co-op sp, jr fa, jr co-op fa, sr sp, sr fa, sr sp, sr *MATH 2060 is a pre- or co-requisite for CE 2010; an alternative would be to take MATH 2060 in the upcoming spring semester instead of CE 2010 and postpone CE 2010 until the subsequent fall semester. **IE 3600 is a prerequisite for many courses offered in Spring of the Junior year (including IE 3610 and IE 3810); it must be taken before the Spring Junior semester courses are taken to graduate on-time with this co-op sequence. student must satisfy the requirements of his/her curriculum in order to receive a degree. 10

11 8 Study Abroad The Industrial Engineering Department encourages students to consider study abroad, whether through a summer or semester experience. If you plan to participate, you must be aware that the IE department offers most courses only once per fall/spring semester, and that the semester abroad may increase the course load taken in other semesters. The best advice is to assume that nothing you take while studying abroad will be usable in the IE curriculum, and then, be happy if something is usable. In this way, you are less constrained on schools and courses to be taken at those schools. The best semester for Study Abroad is Spring sophomore year. The second best semester is Spring junior year. Table 1 shows one of many ways the courses from Second Semester Sophomore year can be moved to accommodate a Study Abroad semester in which no classes are usable and no summer courses are taken. Each semester becomes 18 or 19 units, and moved courses are italicized. Each course that can be taken while abroad will of course reduce each of the semesters shown. Table 1: A Feasible Study Abroad Plan: Spring Sophomore Abroad Freshman Year Assume all courses completed as scheduled Sophomore Year 19 First Semester 0 Second Semester 4 - MATH 2060 Calculus of Several Variables Study Abroad, assume nothing here 4 - IE 2010 Systems Design I 3 - IE 2800 Deterministic Operations Research 3 - PHYS 2210 Physics with Calculus II 1 - PHYS 2230 Physics Laboratory II 1 - IE 2000 Sophomore Seminar in IE 3 - Humanities/Social Science Requirement Junior Year 18 First Semester 18 Second Semester 3 - IE 4400 Decision Support Systems in IE 3 -IE 3860 Production Planning and Control 3 - IE 3600 Ind Apps of Prob and Stat I 3 -IE 3810 Probabilistic Operations Research 3 - Humanities/Social Science Requirement 3 -IE 3610 Ind Apps of Prob and Stat II 1 - IE 3680 Professional Practice in IE 3 -IE 2100 Design and Analysis of Work Systems 3 - Humanities/Social Science Requirement 3 -University Oral Communications (See Catalog) 3 - CE 2010 Statics 3 -IE 3840 Engineering Economic Analysis 2 - ENGR 2080 or ENGR 2090 Engineering Graphics Senior Year 19 First Semester 18 Second Semester 4 - IE 4820 Systems Modeling 3 -IE 4670 Systems Design II 3 - IE 4610 Quality Engineering 3 -Management Requirement 3 - IE Technical Requirement 3 -IE Technical Requirement 3 - IE Technical Requirement 3 -Math / Science Requirement 3 - IE 4650 Facilities Planning and Design 3 -Ethics and Professional Practice Requirement Electrical Engineering Reqt (ECE 2070/2080 or /2110) 3 -MSE 2100 Intro to Materials Science student must satisfy the requirements of his/her curriculum in order to receive a degree. 11

12 Table 2 shows one of many ways the courses from Second Semester Junior year can be moved to accommodate a Study Abroad semester in which no classes are usable. In this option, it is imperative that IE 3600 be taken in First semester Sophomore year. A second version of this plan would require IE 3600 be taken in the summer before the Junior Year..

13 9 Course Planning Worksheet Download the form from 10 Changing majors into IE To transfer into the Industrial Engineering BS program, a student must have completed the following courses with a grade of C or better: CH 1010 General Chemistry ENGL 1030 Accelerated Composition ENGR 1050 Engineering Disciplines and Skills I ENGR 1060 Engineering Disciplines and Skills II OR ENGR 1020 ENGR 1070 Programming and Problem Solving I ENGR 1410 ENGR 1080 Programming and Problem Solving II OR (see Planning Guide for more options) ENGR 1090 Programming and Problem Solving Applications MATH 1060 Calculus of One Variable I OR MATH 1040 and 1070 MATH 1080 Calculus of One Variable II PHYS 1220 Physics with Calculus I From General Engineering The CoES advisors will manage the paperwork. As long as the student has a 2.0 overall GPA and has completed the courses documented above, the change of major will be processed. From any other major First, the student must have a 2.0 overall GPA and have completed the courses documented above. Additionally, since the IE department does not offer every required course in every semester and strictly enforces prerequisites, we believe it is important that students understand the courses required to be taken in each semester. As such, for non-general Engineering students, we also require that the student complete a plan of study that documents all courses to be taken until graduation. The plan is reviewed by Mrs. Beverly Robinson if the student s last name is between A-K and by Dr. Jon Lowe otherwise. Information Sources The plan must be presented on the standard department form, available at Use the What-if Degree Works tool to determine which courses already taken satisfy requirements of the BSIE. Refer to the Undergraduate Announcements for the official list of prerequisites The iroar schedule of classes shows which courses are offered in the next few semesters Suggested Process Determine in which semester IE 4670 should be taken. Then, plan backwards for all required IE courses (those numbered in the curriculum, as opposed to those in lists such as IE Technical Requirement). After IE required courses are located, then look at the courses that have prerequisites, such as CE 2010 or ECE 2070/2080. For courses that satisfy requirements from lists, such as IE Technical Requirements or Math/Science or Ethics and Professional Practice, just list the name of the requirement. An example of a plan is shown in this instructional video student must satisfy the requirements of his/her curriculum in order to receive a degree. 13

14 11 Additional Registration and Course Planning Topics 11.1 Attempting to register for closed classes In the event that an IE class is closed, add your name to the Wait List. When a seat becomes available, the first student on the wait list will have the opportunity to add the class Petitions Students may petition for exceptions to Departmental registration policies and curriculum requirements. The merits of the petition should first be discussed with your advisor and submitted through your advisor. If you elect to pursue a petition, the documentation is then routed to the Undergraduate Program Committee through your advisor for review. The Committee then makes a recommendation to the Chair, who renders a decision based on your documentation and the recommendation of the Committee. The Undergraduate Program Coordinator will contact your advisor with the findings. The majority of petitions are requests to enroll in a course and one or more of its prerequisites concurrently. In these cases, the Committee seeks to find a way to satisfy the prerequisite content for this course through other means usually, by completing courses similar to the prerequisites in other departments (e.g., mathematics or management). Thus, these petitions must be submitted far enough in advance to allow time for these courses to be completed Enrolling in a course and its prerequisites concurrently Students must petition to enroll in a course and its prerequisites concurrently. At the present time, there are only a few established mechanisms for this curriculum exception: IE 3860 may be taken concurrently with IE 4670 provided that MGT 3900 has been completed. Please note that as of Fall 2012, MGT 3900 has a prerequisite of MGT IE 3610 may be taken concurrently with IE 4610 and / or IE 4820 provided that one of STAT 2300 (not AP credit), MATH 3020 or STAT 4110 has been successfully completed before either IE 4610 or IE 4820 is taken. Internet courses offered by other institutions may also be a viable option to satisfy prerequisite content. It is the responsibility of the petitioner to identify any candidate course and to assemble documentation for review by the Undergraduate Committee IE majors: 3000 and 4000-level IE courses with less than a 2.2 overall GPA or 2.2 EGPA IE students with less than a 2.2 Overall or Engineering GPA will be required to submit a petition through their IE academic advisor in order to be cleared for registration if their plan includes one or more 3000 or 4000-level IE courses. This petition must include a viable course plan with the grades necessary, for both the remaining coursework in ENGR and the curriculum overall, to achieve terminal GPAs of at least 2.0. If an agreement cannot be reached, then the student always has the option of achieving an overall 2.2 overall or engineering GPA prior to attempting to enroll again, at which point a petition would no longer be necessary Course and curriculum requirements of other departments There are certain curriculum requirements of other departments that do not currently apply to IE majors. One example is the requirement of the mechanical engineering curriculum that a student is allowed to enroll in any ME course only when all prerequisites, as defined by current official listings for that course, have been passed with a grade of C or higher. However, requirements of courses apply to all students in all majors taking that course. For example, as of Fall 2012, CE 2080 requires CE 2010 be passed with a C or better. Since this is a course requirement, it applies to all students. Contact the Undergraduate Coordinator if you should experience any difficulty with these course registrations. Advisors: forms are available on the M drive in the ie staff\share\for undergraduate advisors folder. student must satisfy the requirements of his/her curriculum in order to receive a degree. 14

15 11.4 Graduate Coursework Enrollment in Graduate Courses Graduate courses may be taken for undergraduate or graduate credit. For additional information see The relevant form is GS6: Request for Senior Enrollment in Graduate Courses Combined Bachelor s/master s Plan Under this plan, students may reduce the time necessary to earn both degrees by applying graduate credits to both undergraduate and graduate program requirements. For University guidelines, see Combined Bachelor s/master s Plan in the current Undergraduate Announcements. The Department of Industrial Engineering allows students to count up to 12 hours of graduate credit (approved and 8000-level courses) toward both bachelor's and master's degrees. Moreover, the total number of hours for both the BS and MS degree must be at least 150; most BSIE students cannot double-count more than 6 units. To be eligible, the student must have completed the bachelor's curriculum through the junior year (minimum 90 credits) and have a minimum overall grade-point ratio of 3.4. For additional information see The relevant form is GS6BSMS: Request for Combined Bachelor's/Master's Education Plan. To learn about using graduate courses to meet undergraduate curriculum requirements, see your advisor. To learn how these same courses will satisfy this Department s master s degree requirements, see the Graduate Program Coordinator. 12 Information for Non-IE and Transfer Students Registration Requirements General Engineering students are permitted to enroll in industrial engineering courses, but only those at the level. Other qualified students are also permitted to enroll in IE courses, although a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher is required for registration in courses numbered 3000 or higher. Nevertheless, priority for registration in these courses is given to those majors for whom the course is a degree requirement Credit for Coursework in IE Curriculum Creating a What-If DegreeWorks Report, along with the table below, will indicate how your courses will map to the IE curriculum. Equivalent Ch E 2200 ENGR 1300 or CHE 1300 Plus one of: CPSC 1610, CPSC 1010, CPSC 1110 Course in IE curriculum ME 3100 (1314 and earlier) ENGR 1410 OR ENGR 1070, 1080, 1090 Although course substitutions are required for the courses listed above, this is essentially a formality provided that the courses are required by your curriculum. To receive credit for a course that does not appear here or in your DegreeWorks Report, it must be deemed equivalent to a course in the IE curriculum. In this case, you would have to submit a specific request for a course substitution (e.g., ECE xxxx for IE yyyy), along with the syllabus of the course that you believe to be equivalent. student must satisfy the requirements of his/her curriculum in order to receive a degree. 15

16 13 Expanded Descriptions of IE Technical Requirements Descriptions of IE technical requirements in greater detail than that found in CU Undergraduate Announcements. Human Factors IE Human Factors Engineering. This course focuses on design of human machine systems which takes into account both human and engineering capabilities and limitations. Human characteristics include both physical and cognitive factors such as body size, ability to see and hear, physical strength, memory and so forth. Such factors must be considered in designing the human-machine interface. Attention to human factors is important, for example, in 1) workplace design including office environment, 2) design of consumer products such as telephones, kitchen appliances, seat belts, etc., 3) design of computer interfaces that are easy to understand and use, and 4) design of environments that are safe and comfortable, for example, automobile and airplanes. Operations Research and Logistics IE Supply Chain Design and Control. Supply chain management (SCM) is the latest production control strategy being implemented in industry. It is an inclusive strategy that is implemented across a large segment of the value chain; hence, implementation requires an interdisciplinary approach and industrial engineering has a significant role. In this course, we utilize concepts and tools from IE 2800, 3810, 3840, and 3860 to define important contributions that the industrial engineer must make for a company to properly define and implement SCM. IE 4810: Applications of Probability Models in Industrial Engineering This is a second probabilistic operations research course, but with a broader, more applied range of topics than the first (IE 3810). Potential topics include decision making; utility theory; portfolio risk, optimization and hedging; inventory models for perishable products; revenue management; risk analysis; and static simulation. Prerequisites: IE 2800, IE 3600, IE 3610 (this will be updated in iroar in May), IE 3840 IE 4910: Special Topics: Network Flows for Industrial Engineering Applications Many of the logistics and supply chain optimization problems have a natural network structure. In this course, we will discuss the following problems: shortest path, maximum flow, minimum cost flow, and the minimum spanning trees. These problems appear as sub-problems in many real world applications not only in supply chain and logistics but also in manufacturing, scheduling, telecommunications, and others. Students will learn the definitions of paths, trees, and cycles in networks. They will also learn about designing algorithms to solve network problems. However, most of the course will be dedicated to implementing the algorithms that will be covered in class. Prior programming experience in a structured language is required (e.g., C/C++/VBA/Matlab). Prerequisites: (IE 2800 or MATH 4400) and (IE 4400 or MATH 3650 or MATH 3600 or CPSC 1110) IE 4910: Special Topics: Modeling and Analysis of Manufacturing Systems This course focuses on modeling and analyzing how production jobs flow through a manufacturing facility as materials are transformed into products. We emphasize understanding how the underlying principles and analytic models inform how resources (people, machines, tools and information) should be utilized to facilitate this flow. Students will be expected to develop deterministic and stochastic models and implement algorithms in a high-level language in this course. Prerequisites: (IE 2800 or MATH 4400) and (IE 3810 or MATH 4410) and (IE 4400 or MATH 3650 or MATH 3600 or CPSC 1110) Quality and Reliability IE Six Sigma Quality. Six Sigma is a statistics-based, process-focused, and data-oriented multidisciplinary methodology for improving processes and reducing process variability. With the aim of reducing product or service defect rates to roughly 3.4 defects per million opportunities, Six Sigma project success stories exist from organizations, including manufacturing, service, government, and healthcare. This course covers the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) phases of Six Sigma by focusing on problem solving techniques and methodologies. By the end of this semester, students will gain enough proficiency to apply these techniques and methodologies to realworld situations and will have the equivalent knowledge of a Six Sigma Green Belt. student must satisfy the requirements of his/her curriculum in order to receive a degree. 16

17 14 Creative Inquiry, IE Technical Requirement, IE 2680, and Departmental Honors (and how all this stuff is related) 14.1 Creative Inquiry Creative Inquiry (CI) is a discovery-oriented approach to learning that promotes an understanding of the methods of scientific research (while at the same time supporting the overall mission of general education ). CI provides opportunities in the form of open-ended problems that extend beyond the classroom. The IE curriculum offers both universal CI experiences, and the potential for an individualized experience. The sequence of design courses, Systems Design I and II, afford everyone an opportunity for a CI experience, and thus is universal. The individualized experiences are research oriented (almost exclusively). Research is a process that seeks better solutions to existing problems though novel approaches, or uncovers solutions where none exist. These research experiences are guided by one or more faculty mentors, and will typically involve other undergraduate and graduate students. Unlike the universal experiences, though, research opportunities are limited both by the number of faculty participating and the number of slots available in the groups of the participating faculty. In order to be considered as a member of a research group, you must first apply. The application process varies across the faculty, from very informal to formal. It may include an interview and/or a written statement of purpose (a brief essay about one's research goals, including motivation), for example; GPA may also be a criterion. Additional information about the respective application processes, the research activities of the participating faculty and CI in general may be found at IE Technical Requirement The IE curriculum has a 6-hour industrial engineering technical requirement, while the 1415 IE curriculum has a 9-hour industrial engineering technical requirement. This requirement is usually satisfied by taking 4000-level IE courses on the applicable approved list (see BSIE Curriculum Chart).This requirement may be partially satisfied through CI experiences. Credit for CI experiences is received via IE 4020 for the majority of students, and IE H4000 for students in the Departmental Honors program. The latter are variable-hour courses, and as such, offer more flexibility than the fixed 3-hour, 4000-level classes IE 2680: Creative Inquiry Seminar IE 2680/H2680 is our introductory CI course; it is a one-hour seminar that is graded on a Pass/Fail basis. The objectives of this seminar are to introduce the research process and to make known research opportunities in the Department. It is one way to dip your toe into the water before diving in, so to speak. While it is not a degree requirement, IE H2680 is required of all students seeking Departmental Honors. Individual faculty mentors may require IE 2680 of other students at their discretion. Finally, IE 2680/H2680 does not necessarily have to be taken prior to beginning the IE 4020/H4000 sequence; in instances where it is required, individual mentors may permit it to be taken concurrently Departmental Honors Departmental Honors, unlike General Honors, is thesis-based, rather than course-based. The IE courses honors students must complete: IE H2680 and IE H4000, mainly serve as a mechanism to get academic credit for the thesis and to maintain standing as an honors student (thru enrollment in honors courses each semester). While the word thesis may be somewhat intimidating, it basically documents the research process and outcomes. Moreover, it differs from a master s thesis in several respects; in particular, with regard to working in groups. In a team setting, while each student must make a distinct contribution, team members may **** be able to submit a common document as his or her thesis. Honors students may satisfy up to 6 hours of the IE technical requirement by completing their 6-hour thesis requirement (via IE H4000). While honors research is fundamentally a CI experience, honors students are subject to additional requirements, such as completing IE H2680, for example; for additional information about Undergraduate students must be broadly educated and technically skilled to be informed and productive citizens. As citizens, they need to be able to think critically about significant issues. The mission requires a high level of knowledge about and competence in the following areas: communication, computer use, mathematics, problem solving, natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and arts (CU Undergraduate Announcements ). **** There are no hard-and-fast rules; these situations are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. student must satisfy the requirements of his/her curriculum in order to receive a degree. 17

18 these requirements in particular, and the Honors Program in general, see ex.html 14.5 Parting Thoughts Research isn t everyone s cup of tea, and there s certainly a lot to be learned from taking the IE technical requirement courses, which do support specialized interest areas (that is, human factors, operations research and logistics, and quality and reliability). Moreover, everyone will have a CI experience by virtue of taking the design courses, which are a degree requirement. As for honors students, your diploma, permanent transcript and commencement program will indicate your General Honors achievement, even if you decide to forgo Departmental Honors. Nevertheless, CI is an option that you may wish to consider. IE 2680/H2680 represents a relatively low-cost way to preview CI without making a commitment; you never know you might like it. student must satisfy the requirements of his/her curriculum in order to receive a degree. 18
