ENGINEERS ARE FACED with worldwide problems and expectations awesome in responsibility, yet exciting as professional challenges. These range from the extremes of interplanetary exploration through earth orbiting systems to the problems arising from our population explosion: energy, better productivity, housing, transportation and environmental issues.

As a renewed appreciation develops for the contributions of science and technology, engineering leaders are calling for engineers who are better equipped to tackle the specific, technical problems of the future. They also are calling for engineers who by breadth of education and understanding of other disciplines can convince others of the role of engineers not only in technical matters but in policy decisions to ensure the use of technology to benefit mankind.

Engineering education at Auburn provides in a four-year curriculum both the technical knowledge and the broad general education necessary to equip engineers for their problem-solving challenges. Centered on mathematics and the physical sciences, the curricula also stress the importance of social sciences, humanities and communication skills. Auburn’s engineering programs enable individuals to develop their natural talents and provide knowledge, skills and understanding that will help them to find their places in society as well as in their vocations.

Admission

Freshmen eligibility is determined by the Office of Enrollment Services. However, since the requirements for engineering education necessitate high school preparatory work of high intellectual quality and of considerable breadth, the following program is recommended as minimum preparation: English, four units; mathematics (including algebra, geometry, and trigonometry), four units; chemistry, one unit; history, literature, social science, two or three units. Calculus, physics and foreign languages are recommended but not required.

Transfers from other institutions must apply through the Office of Enrollment Services. The exact placement in courses can be determined only upon review of the student's transcript by the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. See Admission of Transfer Students for complete requirements.

The college allows credit for courses completed with satisfactory grades provided the courses correspond in time and content to courses offered at Auburn. Courses that are taught at the 3000-level or higher at Auburn are generally not transferable from junior colleges.

Many courses required by the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering are highly specialized in their content and potential transfer students need to select courses with care. Therefore, to ensure maximum transferability of credits, students are encouraged to contact the College as soon as possible about acceptable credits.

Transfers from on-campus must be approved by the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering. The requirements for a student to advance from the pre-engineering program into an engineering curriculum are subsequently described in the “Scholastic Requirements” section.
