of these learners, techniques and strategies for
accommodating them in the general classroom
and the communication skills needed to collaborate
with parents, teachers and specialists.
Prerequisites: EDUC 205, PSYC 101.
Engineering
In addition to a Bachelor of Science in Industrial
Engineering, St. Ambrose offers a program for
students preparing to enter other engineering
fields. For information on the St. Ambrose
Institute of Industrial Engineering, see the
Industrial Engineering section.
Core Courses Recommended for First Two Years
of an Engineering Program: (for students with a
strong preparation in mathematics) First semester:
ENGR 110; MATH 191; CHEM 105.
Second semester: CSCI 195; PHYS 251;
MATH 191. Third semester: ENGR 220;
MATH 192; PHYS 253. Fourth semester:
ENGR 302, 310; MATH 300, 320; PHYS 254.
Also, 15 to 18 elective semester credits in the
Engineering program.
Recommended for Three-Year, Two Degree
Engineering Program: For a broader liberal arts
background in career preparation, three years of
study at St. Ambrose and two years at an engineering
school can lead to two degrees—a
Bachelor of Arts degree from St. Ambrose and a
Bachelor of Science degree from the engineering
school. The technical courses listed in the
Engineering Core program are suggested along
with electives to satisfy Bachelor of Arts requirements
number two to 10, which are specified in
the Academic Information section.
Requirements for the Bachelor of Science Degree
with a Major in Engineering Physics: 37 semester
credits in physics and engineering including
PHYS 317, and 18 additional semester credits at
the 300 level; 18 semester credits in mathematics
including at least six semester credits at the 300
level; CHEM 105, 106; 12 semester credits in
computer science including at least six semester
credits at the 300 level. Students with a major in
engineering physics are able to select courses
which make them eligible for entry level engineering
positions with the federal government.
