College of Engineering
Russell E. Trahan, Dean
The College of Engineering offers undergraduate degree programs
in civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering,
and naval architecture and marine engineering. These curricula provide
an opportunity for professional career training in the traditional
fields of engineering in preparation for industrial employment or
graduate studies in various fields of engineering.
Students planning to study engineering should make maximum
use of those courses available in high school which have a direct
bearing upon college-level education. It is recommended that high
school students enroll in introductory courses in the physical sciences,
notably chemistry, physics, and computer science. The following work
should be completed:
Mathematics: Four years, including algebra, geometry, and
trigonometry
Science: Two or three years
Social Science: Three years
Successful completion of certain courses in the above categories
allows a student, after being admitted to UNO, to apply for advanced
standing or bypassed credit. Additionally, all basic mathematics courses
below the level of calculus are also taught at UNO but do not carry
degree credit for engineering majors.
The undergraduate degree programs in engineering provide a
broad engineering education in preparation for:
1. Professional employment, mainly as civil, electrical, mechanical
engineering, naval architecture and marine engineering in design,
development, production, operation, and sales, or
2. Graduate study in the various fields of engineering and the physical
sciences.
Emphasis is placed on fundamentals in the basic fields followed by
applications in the areas of engineering design and planning.
Accreditation
The following undergraduate programs in engineering offered by
the College of Engineering, University of New Orleans, are accredited
by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET):
Bachelor of Science Degree and Cooperative Education Programs in:
1. Civil Engineering
2. Electrical Engineering
3. Mechanical Engineering
4. Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering
Admission to the College of Engineering
All engineering freshmen admitted to the University enter in a preengineering
classification. This classification begins with the letter “P”
(e.g., pre-electrical engineering is PENEE). Students remain in this classification
until they meet the admission requirements of the College.
In general, students will be admitted to the College of Engineering if
they meet the following criteria:
1. Complete a minimum of:
a. 12 semester hours of non-remedial coursework with at least a
3.0 grade-point average on both UNO and all work attempted,
or
b. 18 semester hours of non-remedial coursework with at least a
2.5 grade-point average on both UNO and all work attempted,
or
c. 24 semester hours of non-remedial coursework with at least a
2.2 grade-point average on both UNO and all work attempted.
2. Completed appropriate courses in algebra and trigonometry or
equivalent advanced placement to qualify for registration in a
first course in calculus.
3. Completed 24 credits with an overall 2.5 GPA for new transfer
students from colleges and universities other than UNO.
Requirements for the Baccalaureate Degree
The degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering may be granted
upon satisfactorily meeting the following requirements:
1. Completion of a program of study selected from the following
four fields: civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical
engineering, and naval architecture and marine engineering.
2. Approval of all electives by the College of Engineering.
3. Completion of all University General Degree Requirements.
4. Obtain a cumulative grade-point average of 2.0 (“C” average) in:
a. all courses attempted anywhere, at any time (this requirement
includes all transfer work, whether applicable to a particular
degree or not);
b. all work taken at UNO;
c. all engineering courses, completed at UNO or elsewhere;
d. the major subject
e. the last 60 hours before graduation.
5. Satisfy the residency requirement of the University (At least 25%
of the degree requirements must be taken while enrolled in UNO’s
College of Engineering.)
Students entering the College of Engineering from pre-engineering
or junior colleges are limited in the number of semester hours credit
