** Electives include 6 credits each from Core Areas 2 and 3, 1 credit from
Core Area 6, and 3 credits from Core Area 7 (the area 7 course may double
count with area 2 or 3). The AOE Department requires that Econ 2005
be one of the courses taken in Area 3. These elective credits must also
include a 1-3 credit computer programming course in C++ or Fortran selected
from the following: CS 1044, ECE 1574, ENGE 2314, ENGE 2324. Other C++ or Fortran
courses may be approved by your advisor. Three to eight credits will be
free electives.

*** AE MAJORS MAY TAKE EITHER AIRCRAFT OR SPACECRAFT DESIGN ++ The AOE
Department requires 9 credits of technical electives of which 6 credits
must be an AOE course and the remaining 3 may be selected from a list
of 3000 level and higher AOE and other approved technical courses.
Students must have had 2 years of a foreign language in high school
or one year at the college level.
The "in-major GPA" consists of all courses taken under the AOE designation.
Students must pass all required courses and both the in-major and overall
GPA must be at least 2.0 for graduation.
Only free electives and courses only offered on a Pass/Fail basis
may be taken Pass/Fail.
136 CREDITS ARE REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION.
NOTE: See the attached list of courses that do not count toward graduation
credits.
A minimum C- grade is required in all courses that are prerequisites
to required AOE courses or are prerequisites of co-requisites to these
courses.
AOE Satisfactory Progress Towards Degree
University Policy 91 outlines university-wide minimum criteria to determine whether students are making satisfactory progress towards the completion of their degrees. The AOE department fully supports the university policy.
Specific expectations for satisfactory progress for Aerospace and Ocean Engineering majors are outlined below:
- Each student must meet the minimum university-wide criteria as described in Policy 91 and summarized in the
Undergraduate Course Catalog and Academic Policies Catalog.
Additionally
- After attempting 72 credit hours:
AE students must have satisfactorily completed AOE 2074 and AOE 3104
OE students must have satisfactorily completed AOE 2074 and AOE 3204
- After attempting 98 credit hours:
AE and OE students must have satisfactorily completed 24 credit hours of in-major courses
and have 2.0 overall and in-major GPAs
Students who are identified as not making satisfactory progress towards their degrees will be placed on academic probation by the College of Engineering and must comply with the College.s procedures for continued enrollment.
This standard was reviewed and approved by the AOE Faculty on February 9, 2007.
