10 THE UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS The undergraduate programs at The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) not only are academically exciting and technically innovative but also lead into a wide range of career paths for the educated citizen of the twenty-first century. Whether you want to become a professional engineer, work in industry or government, or plan to pursue a career in the physical and social sciences, medicine, law, business, or education, SEAS will provide you with an unparalleled education. SEAS firmly believes that students gain the most when engineering is brought up front, early in the four-year curriculum. Therefore, first-year students use the networked, high-performance workstations and multimedia software of the Botwinick Multimedia Learning Laboratory as part of their technical core requirements. Here students apply fundamental principles of engineering design to modeling advanced engineering and applied science problems. Later in the four-year program, students often use the Laboratory’s symbolic, numeric, and graphical computing power in ever deepening integration with classroom, laboratory, and research work of their chosen engineering program. While pursuing their own interests, undergraduate students are encouraged to participate in a broad range of ongoing faculty research projects encompassed by the Undergraduate Research Involvement Program (URIP). An annual URIP publication sent to students describes faculty projects in which students may participate, lists necessary qualifications, and details whether the student’s participation will be voluntary, for academic credit, or for monetary compensation. In addition to in-depth exploration of engineering and applied science, SEAS undergraduates explore the humanities and social sciences with Columbia College students through intellectually challenging Core Curriculum courses taught by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. These courses in art, literature, music, major cultures, and economics, among others, provide students with a broad, intellectually disciplined, cultural perspective on the times they live in and the work they do. POLICY ON DEGREE REQUIREMENTS The Committee on Instruction and faculty of The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science review degree requirements and curricula matters each year, and the bulletin reflects these faculty recommendations and curricular changes in its yearly reprinting. School policy requires students to fulfill all general degree requirements as stated in the bulletin of the first year of their matriculation into the School. Students declare their major during the first semester of their sophomore year. Requirements for the major or minor are in accordance with the bulletin during the year in which the student declares the major or minor. THE FIRST YEAR— SOPHOMORE PROGRAM Students entering The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science are encouraged to consider the wide range of possibilities open to them, both academically and professionally. To this end, the first and second years of the four-year undergraduate program comprise approximately 66 semester points of credit that expose students to a cross-fertilization of ideas from different disciplines within the University. The sequence of study proceeds from an engagement with engineering and scientific fundamentals, along with humanities and social sciences, toward an increasingly focused training in the third and fourth years designed to give students mastery of certain principles and arts central to engineering and applied science. Liberal Arts Core for SEAS Students: 27-Point Nontechnical Requirement This requirement provides a broad liberal arts component that enhances the SEAS professional curriculum to help students meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. Our students are destined to be leaders in their professions and will require sophisticated communication, planning, and management skills. The SEAS Committee on Instruction established the school’s nontechnical requirement so that students would learn perspectives and principles of the humanities and social sciences as part of a well-rounded and multiperspective education. Through discussion, debate, and writing, students improve their ability SEAS 2009–2010
11 to engage in ethical, analytic, discursive, and imaginative thinking that will prove indispensable later in life. • SEAS students must take 16 to 18 points of credit of required courses in list A and 9 to 11 elective points chosen from the approved courses in list B. The total combined number of nontechnical points (from lists A and B, below) must add up to at least 27. Neither list can be modified by advising deans or faculty advisers. • Advanced Placement (AP) credit in appropriate subject areas can be applied toward the 9-point elective nontechnical requirement. If electing Global Core, students must take two courses from the List of Approved Courses (www.college. columbia.edu/bulletin/core/mc.php) for a letter grade. A. Required Nontechnical Courses (16–18 points of credit) These courses must be taken at Columbia. Points 1. ENGL C1010 University writing 3 2. One of the following two-semester sequences: HUMA C1001-C1002Masterpieces of Western literature and philosophy (All students registering for this course should be prepared to discuss the first six books of the Iliad on the first day of class.) or COCI C1101-C1102 Introduction to contemporary civilization in the West or Global Core (any 2 courses from approved list 6–8 3. One of the following two courses: HUMA W1121 Masterpieces of Western art or HUMA W1123 Masterpieces of Western music 3 4. ECON W1105 Principles of economics (This course can be satisfied through Advanced Placement; see the Advanced Placement chart on page 14.) Note: SEAS students may not take BC1003 Introduction to economic reasoning as a substitute for ECON W1105. 4 B. Elective Nontechnical Courses (9–11 points of credit) The following course listing by department specifies the Columbia College, Barnard, or SEAS courses that either fulfill or do not fulfill the nontechnical requirement. (Professional, workshop, lab, project, scientific, studio, music instruction, and master’s-level professional courses do not satisfy the 27-point nontechnical requirement.)
