Engineering
The Engineering program at Fort Lewis College is designed to meet the needs of those students who are interested in obtaining an engineering degree, but prefer to complete their first two years of study at a small college with a liberal arts emphasis. After completing a requisite block of courses that includes engineering, mathematics, the sciences, and the humanities, students are eligible for full junior standing at one of the institutions with which Fort Lewis maintains a transfer agreement. Or the student may choose to apply to any other degree granting engineering program as a normal transfer student. Fort Lewis College participates in formal engineering transfer agreement programs with Colorado State University (CSU) at Fort Collins, Colorado School of Mines (CSM) at Golden, the University of Colorado (CU) at Boulder, the University of Southern Colorado (USC) at Pueblo, the University of New Mexico (UNM) at Albuquerque, and New Mexico State University (NMSU) at Las Cruces. Under these block-transfer agreements the student completes the prescribed sequence of courses, listed below, in residence at Fort Lewis. Successful completion of this sequence with the required minimum GPA is sufficient for the collective transfer of these courses to the cooperating institution with full junior standing. For those students who can take calculus their first term, the block transfer sequence may be completed in two years of residence at Fort Lewis. For detailed information on specific agreements and programs, students should consult with an engineering advisor. Required minimum grade point averages by school:
Colorado State University – 2.5 Note that only those courses in which a student received a C or higher will transfer. Although the above plans pertain specifically to the agreements with the schools listed above, the courses offered are ordinarily accepted for credit for comparable courses at other degree-granting engineering institutions. In addition, the engineering courses are often used by students in planning student-constructed majors at Fort Lewis College. Student-constructed majors using the engineering courses are available in conjunction with physics, geology, mathematics, and other disciplines. The student should consult with his or her advisor if interested in a student-constructed major. As a cooperative effort between the engineering program and the School of Business Administration, a four-year degree program is available in engineering Management. For more information, please see the School of Business Administration section of this catalog. Students who are interested in obtaining a mathematics degree in addition to an engineering degree may wish to pursue a 3-2 program. The student attends Fort Lewis College
for six terms (equivalent to three academic years) and the cooperating
institution for two academic years. During residence at Fort Lewis,
the student completes the requirements for the basic engineering core
and most of the requirements for a mathematics major. At the cooperating
institution the student completes the remaining requirements for a Bachelor
of Arts degree in Mathematics, awarded by Fort Lewis College, and the
requirements for an engineering degree from the cooperating institution.
Those students who wish to stay at Fort Lewis for an additional semester before transferring have the option of taking one or more of the following junior-level courses:
Engr 317 Mechanics of Materials 3 A minor in engineering is available for students majoring in other disciplines. Requirements for an engineering minor are listed at the end of this section. The Engineering program is supported by the College’s modern computer facilities. Registered students may use any of the student computing labs, which are generally open seven days a week. These facilities include PC and Macintosh computers and laser printers. Internet connectivity is provided through the campus network; modem access is also available.
