TECHNICAL ELECTIVE PROGRAM SCHOOL OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

1 TECHNICAL ELECTIVE PROGRAM SCHOOL OF INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING 1. Technical Elective Program for Industrial Engineering students While this is not a strictly structured program like the General Education program, students are encouraged to treat the selection of technical elective courses in much the same way. Strategies for usage of technical elective courses are provided in Section 3. Students are encouraged to select technical elective courses based on career objectives. In general, a technical elective is a course that develops new professional skills and/or builds upon previously obtained skills. Courses must focus on the development of skills in engineering, mathematics, business, or selected natural or social sciences. 2. Technical Elective Requirements The following requirements are specified for the technical elective program. These are the most basic requirements. Additional policies and procedures are discussed below and in Section 3. Each IE student is required to take 15 credit hours of technical electives to complete the BSIE degree requirements. Every course taken as a technical elective must be taken for a letter grade IE Courses Students are required to complete at least 6 of the 15 required technical elective credit hours with courses originated by the IE department. There are two available options for IE students to accomplish this requirement. 1. IE 470 or IE 484, and one IE course at 500-level, or 2. IE 470 and IE 484. The 500-level IE course listed in Option 1 can be an IE 590 level course provided it is titled and open to all students for registration. For example, IE 590 Financial Engineering is an acceptable IE technical elective. Additional IE courses taken are allowable to complete the remaining 9 credit hours of free technical electives, within the following guidelines: 1. IE 500-level courses, 2. IE 490 courses; any course with this listing must have special approval by the IE Undergraduate Office to be considered for technical elective credit. Details about the process for approval are given in Section IE 499 (Reserved for Engineering Honors students; up to 6 credit hours). 4. IE 495 (Reserved for Co-Op students; student must complete 3 semesters to earn TE credit) Students are encouraged to consult the list of pre-approved technical electives contained in the Appendix for potential IE 500-level courses. 1

2 2.2. Non-IE courses Students in IE are encouraged to choose technical elective courses from outside the department if such courses align with their career goals. Each IE student has the option to take up to 9 credit hours of non-ie courses to complete the technical elective requirements. The Appendix contains a list of numerous pre-approved courses offered by other departments. The general criteria for non-ie courses that may be considered for TE credit are provided below. If a course satisfies the below criteria, but is not on the list of pre-approved TE courses then it is subject to approval by the IE Undergraduate Office. Details about the process for approval are given in Section level or higher level course taken in any other engineering school that are not duplicates of IE courses. 2. PHYS courses at a level higher than PHYS CHM courses at a level higher than CHM MA courses at a level higher than or equal to MA CS courses at a level higher than or equal to CS 182, excluding CS Prohibited Courses A prohibited course is a course deemed to have sufficient overlap in course material with an IE course so as to be considered an equivalent course. A list of known prohibited courses is as follows: MGMT (Course is intended for Technology students) *** This course is not to be confused with MGMT Introductory Accounting, which is an approved TE. MGMT (IE 230/330) MGMT (IE 335/336) MGMT (IE 343) MGMT (IE 383) ECON (IE 330/343) Note: IE courses in parentheses indicate the courses the prohibited courses have an with EPICS Many students choose to participate in Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) during their time at Purdue. These projects include designing, building, and deploying real systems to solve engineering-based problems for local community service and education organizations. Students can earn credit for EPICS participation from freshman through senior year with a variable credit hour structure. Freshman and sophomore level students earn 1 credit hour per 2

3 semester of involvement in EPICS projects. Juniors and seniors can earn either 1 or 2 credit hours per semester of involvement. All EPICS (EPCS) courses, including those at the 100- to 200- level, up to a maximum of three (3) credits can be used towards the 9 credit hours of courses that do not need to originate from within IE. 2.5 Courses offered by the College of Technology No course offered by the College of Technology can be counted towards the IE plan of study. 3. Special Approvals for Non-Pre-Approved Technical Elective Courses Students must petition for a course to be counted as a technical elective if it is not listed on the Pre-Approved list of courses contained in the Appendix. Each course will be evaluated by the IE Undergraduate Office based on the description of a technical elective course given in Section 1, and any additional factors deemed necessary. To petition for a course approval, the following process must be observed. 1. A student must obtain an IE-Form 3 (accessible from the IE undergraduate studies webpage). 2. The student must fill in the course information required on the form and attach a syllabus for the course in question. In addition, the student must write a short synopsis of how the course fits the requirements of a technical elective described in Section 1. (Note: a syllabus is required for any course taken at another university.) 3. Student returns the completed form to the IE Undergraduate Office for final processing and decision. Each student is notified via if the course is approved or not. All documentation is stored in the student's permanent record. 3.1 Special Approval for IE 490 Courses These courses are intended to allow IE undergraduates to engage in independent study and individual or small group research projects under the direction of a faculty member. Projects of this kind may be initiated by students or faculty members, but registration and approval of these courses must follow the following process Registration for an IE 490 Course 1. The student must identify a faculty sponsor. 2. The student and faculty member must discuss and agree to the content and focus of the course and the course expectations for both members. This must be documented in some way and communicated to the IE undergraduate office. The documentation must contain information about the title of the course (limited to 30 characters). 3

4 3. Pick up a Form 23V (Variable Title Course Designation Form) from the IE undergraduate office. Process for completing the form: 1. Student should fill out items 1-6, IE 490 in the course description section, the title of the course, and sign. 2. Student obtains signature of faculty member sponsoring the class. 3. Return the completed form to the IE undergraduate office for additional signatures. 4. Once the final signatures are obtained, the student will be notified that the form is ready for delivery to the Office of the Registrar for final processing. The course agreement between the student and faculty member must be submitted to the IE undergraduate office at the same time as the Form 23V (step 3). The documentation provided to the IE undergraduate office satisfies the information requirement for approval for TE credit as described above. IE 490 courses are, typically, for 3 credit hours. Typically, a student should expect to work 3 hours per week for each credit hour. This means that a student and faculty member should plan on developing a course that requires at least 9 hours per week of work. IE 490 courses can be created for less than 3 credit hours, but this severely limits the usage of the course on the IE plan of study due to the student needing to make up the remaining credit hours from additional courses. All IE 490 courses, if they are to be used for TE credit must be taken for a letter grade. 4
