Engineering is a dynamic profession that provides the expertise to meet the technical challenges facing the nation. Cal Poly Pomona’s College of Engineering has a well-earned reputation of helping to meet these challenges by preparing engineers and engineering technologists who, upon graduation, are prepared to contribute to industry and are also ready for graduate studies. The emphasis on a strong theoretical background coordinated with early and significant laboratory experiences continues to make the college a leader in engineering education. In consultation with its many constituencies, the College of Engineering has adopted the following as its principal educational objectives:

• Preparation of graduates for immediate entry into the engineering profession, technically well-prepared in analysis and design, and understanding their professional responsibilities for contemporary and future human welfare
  
• Preparation of graduates as practicing engineers who communicate effectively, work collaboratively, learn independently and act ethically
  
• Adoption by graduates of life long learning, including formal advanced studies, as necessary for continued effectiveness in the profession
  

The College of Engineering provides study opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students in eleven disciplines, offering programs leading to Bachelor of Science degrees in:

Aerospace Engineering Chemical Engineering Civil Engineering Computer Engineering Electrical Engineering Industrial Engineering Manufacturing Engineering Materials Engineering Mechanical Engineering Engineering Technology

Construction Engineering Technology

Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology

The programs each require 202 units for the Bachelor of Science degree.

In addition, the college offers individualized programs leading to the Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Structural Engineering, and Engineering, with specializations in each of the engineering disciplines. Proposals to institute new master’s degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Management are currently under review. Please check with the Graduate Studies Office in the College of Engineering for the planned date of implementation of these new programs.

All undergraduate engineering programs, except the recently established one in Materials Engineering, are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The programs in Engineering Technology are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission

224

of ABET. The address and phone number of ABET are:

The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology 111 Market Place, Suite 1050 Baltimore, MD 21202 (410) 347-7700

Each engineering curriculum is designed to give the student both an understanding of the fundamental principles of engineering as an applied science and the practical expertise to apply these principles to actual situations. In keeping with professional expectations, each engineering program incorporates these curricular areas into the educational experience: mathematics and basic sciences; engineering sciences and engineering design; and humanities and social sciences. Per ABET, accreditable engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have:

• 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,
  
• 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 and societal context,
  
• a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning,
  
• a knowledge of contemporary issues, and
  
• an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
  

It is important to distinguish between Engineering and Engineering Technology. Engineering Technology is that part of the technological field that requires the application of scientific and engineering knowledge and methods combined with technical skills in support of engineering activities; it lies in the occupational spectrum between the craftsman and the engineer. The engineering technologist is more specialized than the engineer, focusing on a technical specialty within an engineering discipline. Compared to the engineering curricula, there is less emphasis on basic science and mathematics and engineering science and more emphasis on skills and knowledge of existing technology related to design support; production; and equipment selection, modification, and service. Studies for a bachelor’s degree in Engineering Technology include coursework in mathematics and basic sciences; technical sciences, specialties, and electives; and social sciences/humanities and communication.

As a result of Cal Poly Pomona’s "learn by doing" environment, graduates of the college continue to be in great demand by industry in southern California, helping Cal Poly Pomona fulfill its mission of service to the people of California. Cal Poly Pomona’s engineering curricula demand that students take computer programming and engineering orientation courses in the freshman year, and that mathematics, basic science, and general education courses begin concurrently. Throughout their educational programs students become adept at using both the university’s computing facilities and the College’s computer-aided engineering laboratory facilities as part of their regular coursework. Specific features of the curricula reflect the input of the college’s Industry Action Councils, composed of over 200 leaders in local industry.

CAL POLY POMONA CATALOG 2002-2003

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING

Many of the engineering science and engineering design courses have laboratory components. Study of the ethical issues that confront those in the practice of engineering and the need for professional registration are an important part of the curriculum. In addition, many students pass the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination (FE) before they graduate.

Departments host chapters of national professional societies and/or honor societies appropriate to their disciplines. Honor societies include Tau Beta Pi (engineering), Tau Alpha Pi (technology), Sigma Gamma Tau (aerospace), Omega Chi Epsilon (chemical), Chi Epsilon (civil), Eta Kappa Nu (electrical), Alpha Pi Mu (industrial), and Pi Tau Sigma (mechanical). In addition, chapters of the following cross-disciplinary organizations are active: the Institute of Robotics Engineers; Society of Women Engineers; National Society of Black Engineers; Society of Hispanics in Science and Engineering; and the American Indian Science and Engineering Society.

A Partnership in Engineering Education

Recognizing that the professional education of students is a partnership of faculty, staff, administrators and students, the college has identified the responsibilities and obligations needed for this partnership to succeed. All students of the college obtain a copy of the college’s policies and procedures from the website. The site is not meant as a substitute for the personal advising of students by faculty, but helps promote an understanding of the fundamental operating tenets on which engineering education at Cal Poly Pomona is based.

All students, faculty, and staff of the College of Engineering should know and understand both the academic policies of the college and the academic policies of the University as explained in the University Catalog. In many cases, the policies of the College of Engineering are rather strict interpretations of University policy, in keeping with the high standards that the faculty, students and the engineering profession as a whole expect of themselves.

Students in the college are expected to bring to this partnership:

• a willingness to learn and demonstrate their mastery of the subject material,
  
• an appropriate attitude regarding the seriousness of their studies, and
  
• an appreciation of the value of their education.
  

Throughout their academic careers in the college, they should acquire not only the expertise that can be learned in a classroom, but also an esteem for the profession, a maturity of manner, a respect for colleagues, and a credo to guide both personal and professional behavior. These qualities are what make a graduates of the Cal Poly Pomona’s College of Engineering desirable.

Faculty bring to the partnership the experiences of having been students themselves and then having practiced in the profession, acquiring the expertise that only practice can perfect, and an eagerness to enthusiastically share this expertise with students. The faculty is committed to seeing students succeed. Excellence in the teaching/ learning enterprise is the primary goal of the faculty. It is the faculty of the College of Engineering that is primarily responsible for developing and maintaining an environment supportive of learning for each student and for encouraging each student to reach for and achieve the highest goals possible. Faculty members provide valuable academic advising, maintain the announced office hours, teach the stated content of each course, share their personal professional experiences and evaluate student performance fairly and consistently.

Additionally, the College of Engineering expects its students to display the intent and motivation to graduate and to achieve their stated degree

objectives as optimally as possible. Operationally, the college has the same goals and offers the most intensive undergraduate curricula in the university as optimally as possible. It is only with the students, faculty and staff working hard together in the partnership, and with mutual respect, that the common goal of excellence in preparation for the engineering profession can be achieved.

Preparation For The Engineering Culture

Professional engineering practice has evolved through a millennia-long technological tradition and, as is true of other professions, now consists of a set of standardized characteristics and modes of behavior; it is a culture in an anthropological sense. This "Engineering Culture" has as its particular responsibility not only the maintenance and development of technical knowledge for the larger society, but also the codes of conduct and practice for the application of that knowledge within the larger society. It has its own language, its own operating principles, its own beliefs and its own credos, all of which are extensions of those of the larger society. The members of this culture assume the responsibility for the welfare of the larger society in technological matters, and are characterized by their advanced and unique analytical and constructive abilities.

The College of Engineering at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona has as its primary mission the preparation of students for entry into the engineering culture. The College recognizes the credo of the professional engineer and, as part thereof, that society’s safety and well-being demand that engineering professionals practice their craft with diligence. As educators, the faculty knows that professional diligence mirrors personal diligence. Accordingly, the faculty of the College of Engineering, while subscribing to the academic policies of the university, also feels dutybound to expect their students and themselves to answer to the set of high academic standards corresponding to those of the engineering culture.

Hence, for students within the College of Engineering to successfully complete the curriculum efficiently, with pride and with maturity, they must not only have mastered technical knowledge and skills, but must also have been diligent in attending to the details of their individual progress through the program. Student must satisfy the bureaucratic details of their own program in a timely, well-planned manner. Student have the responsibility for their own progress and are expected to serve as their own primary advocates. Furthermore, engineering students are expected to be mature enough to accept and to deal with the consequences of their own actions and inactions.

Student Advocacy

The Dean's Office in the College of Engineering provides student advocacy services to students who are experiencing extraordinary personal challenges, have unusual situations requiring administrative intervention, or are facing serious dilemmas in their academic careers. Students should seek the help of this of fice only after discussing the situation with their faculty advisors. Student advocates are available to listen and talk with students, to provide feedback of value, to guide the student to other on-campus services available to them, and, in rare cases, to advocate on behalf of the student with faculty and administrators if appropriate. Student advocacy services are provided

• to assist students in honestly evaluating and facing their situations;
  
• to help students establish a realistic plan to achieve graduation, or consider new career directions; and
  
• to help students mature in accepting personal responsibility for their actions and inactions. Faculty advisors retain principal responsibility for academic advising; the college's student advocacy services supplement the faculty advising system.

The goals of the Aerospace Engineering program are:

• to educate those who will succeed at entry level positions in the Aerospace industry and succeed in national graduate programs;
  
• to exemplify the linking of theoretical and practical knowledge; and
  
• to provide service to the profession.
  

Traditionally the aerospace engineer has been involved with the design and development of high speed vehicles such as aircraft, missiles and spacecraft. In recent years this list has evolved to include ocean vessels and high speed land vehicles as well. The extreme environments in which these vehicles operate have dictated the construction of the most complex engineering systems devised by humans and require integration and application of such disparate fields as fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, structural mechanics, control system theory and vehicle dynamics. Often the aerospace engineer is confronted with problems that cannot be fully defined but, in spite of this, require imaginative and sophisticated solutions.

This accredited program aims to:

• provide students with a comprehensive education that includes in-depth instruction in aerodynamics, aircraft and spacecraft structures, flight mechanics, orbital mechanics, flight propulsion, and design of aerospace systems;
  
• provide adequate laboratory experience and independent study opportunities; and
  
• prepare students for careers in aerospace engineering by emphasizing analysis and problem-solving, exposure to open-ended problems and design issues while fostering teamwork, communication skills, and individual professionalism.
  

Students desiring to major in Aerospace Engineering should have a particularly high aptitude for science and mathematics, and incoming freshmen should have taken substantial college preparatory courses in these disciplines in high school. Incoming transfer students should have completed at least one year of college calculus and one year of college physics (with laboratory) prior to beginning the program at Cal Poly Pomona. The community college student planning to transfer into this department should consult a school counselor or department to determine which courses meet the program requirements.

Graduates of the program will have:

• an understanding of physics, chemistry and mathematics sufficient to address real world engineering problems;
  
• an understanding of engineering science fundamentals that enables them to examine real world engineering problems for the underlying physical principles and decide on appropriate methods of solution;
  
• the ability to analyze and design aerospace structural elements;
  
• the ability to perform aerodynamic analyses;
  
• the ability to analyze air-breathing propulsion systems;
  
• the ability to analyze the flight dynamics of aircraft and spacecraft and design flight control systems;
  

• the ability to analyze spacecraft trajectories;
  
• the ability to work in teams and design complex systems such as aircraft and spacecraft from a conceptual design perspective;
  
• good oral, written and graphic communications skills; and
  
• an understanding of the role of the engineer in society and an awareness of ethical, environmental and quality concerns of the engineering profession.
  

Aerospace engineering students are encouraged to become active in the student branch of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, a national society organized for the advancement of aerospace knowledge. Qualified students are invited to join the student chapter of Sigma Gamma Tau, the aerospace engineering honor society.

The Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering is actively pursuing outcomes assessment to evaluate its effectiveness in promoting student learning and achieving its educational goals and objectives. The department welcomes input on the following statement of our educational goal and objectives.

The goal of the Chemical and Materials Engineering Department is to prepare baccalaureate graduates with the skills necessary to contribute through their professional careers to a highly technical society that is global in scope. The Philosophy of the Chemical and Materials Engineering Department is to provide a strong theoretical foundation coupled with practical application of that knowledge, which is consistent with the missions of the College of Engineering and the University.

The educational objectives of the Chemical Engineering and Materials Engineering Programs are to develop the abilities of our students:

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

Chemical Engineering is the branch of engineering that embraces the development and application of industrial processes which involve chemical and physical changes of material. These processes must be accomplished in a competitive economy and in an environmentally safe manner to create products which are useful and essential to the modern world. Chemical Engineering includes the design, development, and production of many products such as fuels and petrochemicals, plastics, fibers, paper, foods, building materials and pharmaceuticals. A chemical engineering degree is also good preparation for careers in pollution prevention or waste minimization.

This accredited program blends the basic sciences with engineering science and design to focus upon the design, development and engineering of industrial processes and plants. Students are well prepared upon graduation to begin either their professional career or a program of graduate study.

The chemical engineering curriculum in addition to a sound foundation in general education includes basic courses in chemistry, physics,

mathematics, and materials, electrical, and mechanical engineering. In addition, coursework in the major includes computer programming, engineering statistics, material and energy balances, transport phenomena, unit operations and process synthesis and design, thermodynamics, kinetics, reactor design, and pollution abatement. The design aspect of chemical engineering is present throughout the curriculum and culminates in the senior-level, three-quarter capstone design sequence. Senior project opportunities enable students to develop essential planning, experimenting and reporting skills in individual or theme-based projects. Extensive laboratory and computerized test facilities exist for process and materials investigations, as well as complete pilot plant scale equipment for extended development and confirmatory studies.

Students desiring to major in Chemical Engineering should have a particularly high aptitude for science and mathematics, and first-time college students should have taken substantial college preparatory courses in these disciplines in high school including one year of chemistry. Incoming transfer students should have completed at least one year of college calculus, one year of college chemistry, and one year of college physics (with laboratory) prior to beginning the program at Cal Poly Pomona. The community college student planning to transfer into this department should consult a school counselor or this department to determine which courses meet the program requirements.

Chemical and Materials Engineering students are encouraged to become active in the student chapters of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), American Society for Materials (ASM), and the Society for the Advancement of Materials and Process Engineering (SAMPE). Qualified students are invited to join the student chapter of Omega Chi Epsilon, the chemical engineering honor society.

MATERIALS ENGINEERING

Recent studies have identified advanced materials as a key technology critical to the stability of the U.S. economy. The development of more efficient engines, faster computers, and lighter aircraft that can travel at faster speeds is dependent on our abilities to improve currently available materials and to develop novel materials. Advances in materials also find immediate application in consumer products such as automobiles,

238

sports equipment, home appliances, and medical implants. Furthermore, new and improved materials permit product differentiation in the market place. As a result, materials engineering is an enabling technology, which opens wider the window for possible advances in other fields, and is vital to remaining competitive in the world economy.

The Materials Engineering program will educate and prepare students to become professionals who combine an understanding of engineering materials with the engineering design process. The curriculum will expose students to a broad spectrum of basic and engineering science disciplines. Materials processing, testing, and selection will be taught in the context of product design and implementation. Through integration and participation with industry, students will achieve an understanding of how products are developed, manufactured, and commercialized.

The focus of this program is on the processing, application, selection, and use of materials, or materials engineering design. Students are well prepared upon graduation to begin their professional career or a program of graduate study.

The materials engineering curriculum, in addition to a sound foundation in general education, includes basic courses in chemistry, physics, mathematics, and electrical, industrial, manufacturing, and mechanical engineering. Advanced courses in science and business are an integral part of the program. Coursework in the major includes computer programming, engineering statistics, material and energy balances, transport phenomena, thermodynamics, and kinetics, as well as material science, metallurgy, polymers, ceramics, composites, corrosion, fracture, and materials joining. The design aspect of materials engineering is present throughout the curriculum and culminates in the senior-level, two-quarter capstone materials selection and design sequence. Elective courses in physical metallurgy, materials characterization, and advanced electronic materials are also offered. The materials engineering laboratories include facilities for metallography, heat treating, mechanical properties testing, particle size analysis, and advanced materials processing.

Students desiring to major in Materials Engineering should have a particularly high aptitude for science and mathematics, and first time college students should have taken substantial college preparatory courses in these disciplines in high school. Incoming transfer students should have completed at least one year of college calculus, one year of college physics (with laboratory), and one year of college chemistry (with laboratory) prior to beginning the program at Cal Poly Pomona.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) offers a Master of Science (M.S.) in Electrical Engineering, a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Electrical Engineering and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Computer Engineering. The M.S. in Electrical Engineering (M.S.E.E.) currently offers the graduate student options in Communication Systems, Computer Systems, and Control and Robotics Systems. The B.S. in Electrical Engineering (B.S.E.E.) trains undergraduate students in the fundamental principles of Electrical Engineering including communications, controls, electronics and power. The B.S. in Computer Engineering (B.S.Cp.E.) trains undergraduate students in the fundamental electrical engineering principles and design of computer hardware and software.

The principal educational objectives to the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department curriculum are to provide graduates with:

o A strong theoretical background in mathematics, basic sciences and engineering fundamentals, and an ability to apply this knowledge to practical engineering problems;

• An ability to design and conduct experiments, and to obtain and analyze date;
  
• An ability to understand and appreciate the need for life-long learning that is necessary for a successful professional career;
  
• An ability to seek solutions to engineering problems that are consistent with ethical, social, economical, political, and environmental principles at local, national and global levels;
  
• An ability to recognize and appreciate the multidisciplinary and multicultural nature of modern engineering team projects and to work collaboratively with co-workers;
  
• An ability to communicate effectively in both written and spoken English.
  

The accredited undergraduate curriculum includes a large number of laboratories where practical application of classroom theory is experience by the student. Additionally, a senior project design, an implementation, and an evaluation are required of all undergraduates and may take the form of team project. The undergraduate student is well-prepared upon graduation to begin either a professional career or a graduate program. The graduate curriculum also provides the student with a choice of laboratories as well as applied research-thesis experiences.

248

Graduates from the ECE department are in demand by a broad cross-section of industry, government, public utilities, marketing groups and educational institutions because of the effective integration of theory and practical experience within the curriculum. The students are prepared for employment in design and development, test and evaluation, and applied research.

Students desiring to major in Electrical or Computer Engineering should have a high aptitude for science and mathematics, and incoming high school graduates should have taken college preparatory courses in these disciplines. Incoming transfer students should consult an advisor in the ECE department at Cal Poly Pomona to determine which courses meet the program requirements.

Electrical and Computer Engineering students are encouraged to become active in the student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers as well as many other College of Engineering and University student organizations. Qualified students are invited to join the student chapter of Eta Kappa Nu, the national electrical engineering honor society.
