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

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. 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. Students must satisfy the bureaucratic details of their own program in a timely, well-planned manner. Students 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 office 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.

MEP Maximizing Engineering Potential

Established in 1983, the Maximizing Engineering Potential program (MEP) at Cal Poly Pomona is a retention and academic enhancement program for students in Engineering and Computer Science. Its purpose is to increase the number and diversity of students graduating in technical disciplines. The Cal Poly Pomona MEP program is the largest program in the state of California. It has a long and successful record of graduating students and placing them in industry. The program has twelve specific service components designed to support student achievement, as well as assist in their personal and professional development. These service components include: pre-enrollment services, a summer transition program, orientation courses, academic excellence workshops, academic advisement, student professional development activities, study centers, student organizations, tutoring, summer and part-time job information, scholarships and incentive grants, and direct linkages to industry and company representatives.

Academic Excellence Workshops

Academic Excellence Workshops, administered through MEP, supplement certain foundation courses in chemistry, mathematics, physics, and engineering and are open by invitation only. Participants in MEP and SEES in the College of Science receive priority consideration. The Workshop program promotes technical excellence in the subject area while also developing communications skills and building an academic community under the guidance of a trained facilitator. An invitation to participate should be regarded as an honor and a unique opportunity.

Engineering Transfer Credit Policy

The Evaluations Office will not automatically give students credit for courses taken at other institutions in which they have received a "C­" or less even if those courses articulate with core or support courses for the major. Students must request credit for those courses through the General Academic Petition process. Specific details about this policy are available from academic advisors and from engineering department offices.

General Education Requirements in the College of Engineering

Because of the high-unit nature of all curricula in the College of Engineering, the pattern of General Education course requirements is somewhat different than the "standard" pattern discussed earlier. The following table summarizes the GE requirements for each curriculum in the College of Engineering. Specific details are available from academic advisors and from department offices.

 

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING MINORS

Students in consultation with the coordinator of the minor are to develop a program of study to meet undergraduate minor requirements. A "Request for Award of Minor" form will be completed towards the completion of the minor course work and indicated on a student's permanent record (transcript) upon achieving at least a 2.0 for all minor work completed. This form is available in departments which offer minors. The form must be turned in to the Registrar's Office for proper processing. Minors cannot be awarded subsequent to the granting of a bachelor's degree. All minors, consist of 24 or more quarter units, 12 of which must be upper division units.

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 analysis;

* 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.

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, 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 community college student planning to transfer to this department should consult a school counselor or this department to determine which courses meet the program requirements.

Materials Engineering students are encouraged to become active in the student chapters of ASM International and SAMPE.

The accredited program in Civil Engineering prepares graduates to enter the profession in planning, design, construction, operations, or management capacities on such projects as freeways, highways, major buildings, dams, bridges, aqueducts, pipelines, airports, hydro-electric installations, water treatment plants, sewage treatment plants, flood control works, and urban development programs. The department offers three options: the general civil engineering option; the environmental engineering option; and the surveying engineering option, all of which are accredited by ABET.

The general civil engineering option is selected by students desiring a broad background in the various aspects of the civil engineering profession. The environmental engineering option provides the student with a background in the acquisition and uses of water and the ability to solve environmental pollution problems caused by gaseous, liquid and solid wastes. The surveying engineering option offers the civil engineering student a background in the surveying profession and in developing precise measurements for the purpose of locating and designing civil engineering projects.

Student projects and field trips are utilized to demonstrate practical applications of classroom and laboratory theory and analysis. Interactions with professional engineering technical groups and societies offer excellent opportunities for student contact with experienced, practicing engineers.

Graduates are employed by governmental agencies at federal, state, and municipal levels, and by engineering contractors, private consulting firms and in the areas of sales engineering, teaching, research, materials testing, city planning, and administration. Graduates of the program are prepared to do productive work in their first job as well as to develop within their profession throughout their engineering career. The curriculum is designed to prepare a student for direct entry into the engineering profession, professional registration, and for graduate school.

Program Educational Objectives

The undergraduate Civil Engineering Program at Cal Poly Pomona provides a practical, "hands-on" educational experience for its students that encompasses the following areas of practice in the field of civil engineering--environmental, geotechnical, structures, surveying, transportation systems and water resources. The program is organized to:

1. Prepare students for immediate entry into civil engineering practice by providing a background in the fundamental engineering principles, an extensive practical design experience and an opportunity to work in multidisciplinary teams;

2. Instill in students an understanding of their professional and ethical responsibilities as civil engineers;

3. Develop the written and verbal skills necessary for students to communicate with other professionals and non-professionals that they will encounter in their future practice of engineering;

4. Provide the student with the necessary background to understand the economic, environmental, societal and cultural impact of engineering solutions on the local, national and global scene;

5. Encourage lifelong learning and prepare students for graduate work in their chosen field of civil engineering or other fields of interest that they might develop;

6. Encourage students to take the FE and/or LSIT examination, and ultimately to become registered as professional engineers and/or land surveyors.

Civil Engineering students are encouraged to become active in the student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Structural Engineers Association of Southern California and the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Qualified students are invited to join the student chapter of Chi Epsilon, the civil engineering honor society.

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) offers a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and a Master of Science (M.S.E.E.) in Electrical Engineering, and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering (B.S.Cp.E.). Graduate students enrolled in the Master of Science in Electrical Engineering (M.S.E.E.) program may select from the following options: Communication Systems, Computer Systems, or Control and Robotics Systems. The B. S. in Electrical Engineering (B.S.E.E.) and the B.S. in Computer Engineering (B.S.Cp.E.) are designed to produce well-educated engineering professionals.

Our undergraduate curriculum is designed to provide a well-rounded education encompassing both theory and the practice of engineering. Students are required to take many 'hands-on' laboratories where the practical application of classroom theory is experienced. Additionally, a senior project involving design, implementation, and evaluation is required of all undergraduates and often takes the form of a multi-disciplinary team project. Our undergraduate students are well-prepared upon graduation to begin either a professional career or continue their education in a graduate program.

Graduates from the ECE department are in demand by a broad cross-section of industry, government, public utilities and educational institutions as a result 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 Engineering or Computer Engineering should have a 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 Engineering 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.

Programs in Engineering Technology consist of integrated curricula designed to prepare graduates for technical careers in industry. They emphasize the application of engineering knowledge and methods to the solution of modern problems. Fundamentals and applications of engineering principles are reinforced in the laboratory and in the field.

Engineering Technology is that part of the technological field which requires the application of scientific and engineering knowledge and methods combined with technical skills in support of engineering activities. It lies in the occupations spectrum between craftsman and the engineer at the end of the spectrum closest to the engineer. Engineering technologists are a member of the engineering team, consisting of engineers, engineering technologists and engineering technicians.

The engineering technologist is applications-oriented, building upon a background of applied mathematics, including the concepts and applications of calculus. Utilizing applied science and technology, technologists may work with engineers in utilizing applied design techniques to produce practical, workable and safe results quickly and economically; configure hardware from proven concepts; install, operate, or manage complex technical systems, and/or provide customer engineering support.

High school graduates and community college transfer students with an aptitude in algebra, trigonometry, and the physical sciences, along with an interest in applications of new technology, are encouraged to apply to the program. Students desiring to major in Engineering Technology should have a capacity for science and mathematics, and incoming freshmen should have taken college preparatory courses in these disciplines in high school. Typical incoming transfer students should have completed college algebra and trigonometry and two quarters of college physics (with laboratory) prior to beginning the program at Cal Poly Pomona. All students should contact a program advisor to obtain assistance in developing their educational goals prior to actually starting their coursework. Each student will work with an advisor to coordinate a specific program of study. A minimum of 202 quarter units is required to complete the degree.

The department's programs are oriented to help students achieve competency in applying current methods and design procedures developed by engineers to solve practical technical problems commonly found in industry. Included in each program, is instruction in applied sciences, drafting, computer usage, interpersonal relations, oral and written communications, design and manufacturing processes, and the impact of technology upon the environment.

The Engineering Technology Department currently offers three degrees, and an incoming student will select from the following choices:

CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY (CET)

The Construction Engineering Technology Program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET). This degree provides the student with a firm background in construction. Graduates may eventually work in any area of construction including building, heavy-civil, and residential. Construction Engineering Technology (CET) graduates work with owners, developers, architects, engineers (civil, mechanical, and electrical), building departments, governmental agencies, contractors, and subcontractors to build a variety of construction projects. Job titles include field engineer, project engineer, superintendent, as well as estimator, scheduler, and project manager.

This program is an integrated four-year curriculum designed to prepare graduates for entry into industry as electronic engineering technologists. The lower division mathematics, science, and electrical and electronics coursework is designed to provide a strong foundation for the upper-division program. The upper-division coursework emphasizes digital electronics, computer hardware and software, communications electronics, and control and instrumentation. The program stresses the use of established electronic engineering analysis and design principles and applications for the solution of day-to-day technical problems currently found in industry. Graduates are typically expected to work as technical members of "the engineering team."

ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY (ET)

The Engineering Technology program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC/ABET).

This degree is comprised of two emphasis areas. Students may choose to concentrate in one of the following areas: General Mechanical and Manufacturing, or Environmental. Internship during the senior year is encouraged for all students of this major.

The Mechanical emphasis stresses the application and design of mechanical and thermal power systems utilizing strength of materials, metallurgy, statics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and heat transfer. Graduates may be involved in applied design, analysis, application, or production of mechanical/thermo-fluid systems.

The Manufacturing emphasis stresses technological competency and managerial skills in the economical utilization of raw material and resources through planning, selection, and organization of manufacturing processes. Graduates may be involved in mass production, tooling, selection of machines, and marketing of manufactured goods.

The Environmental emphasis is a 2+2 program with community college Environmental Hazardous Materials and Technology Programs. The subject matter includes air and water quality, land restoration, hazardous material, hazardous waste management, and solid waste management. The hazardous material and waste management courses are available at community colleges. PETE (Partnership for Environmental Technology Education) has 27 member schools in California and most of them, if not all, offer courses in hazardous material management. Cal Poly Pomona has a land lab and a regenerative study center as part of its campus. Graduates may work for industry, government agencies or engineering companies on environmental regulations and clean-up.

The faculty of the department is committed to helping students develop a strong sense of professionalism, high ethical standards and the pride that comes from accomplishment through technical competence. The department is also committed to helping students develop sound work habits, including neatness, completeness, and timeliness; to communicate effectively in written, oral, graphical, and mathematical form; and to be responsible for their own actions and inactions. The faculty is committed to academic excellence and professional integrity.

The department offers two degree programs, one in Industrial Engineering and one in Manufacturing Engineering. Each program prepares the students for both engineering practice and for graduate study. The Industrial Engineering major is concerned with the most effective methods of utilizing and integrating people, materials, and equipment in both production and service organizations. The Manufacturing Engineering major is concerned with the most effective ways of designing and developing manufacturing systems. It is possible to major in both Industrial Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering. Interested students should contact their academic advisors or the department office.

Students desiring to major in either Industrial or Manufacturing 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 this department to determine which courses meet the program requirements.

Graduates of the program are prepared to do productive work in their first jobs as well as to grow with their profession throughout their engineering career. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for direct entry into the engineering profession as well as graduate school.

The department of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering is concerned about the success of its graduates as they matriculate into the industrial world and during their careers as engineers. The department is also concerned about its curricula: Does it meet the demands of industry and the profession? For these reasons the department conducts both formal and informal outcome assessments of the progress of its graduates and the value of its curricula. Assessment is conducted by quarterly interaction with its Industry Advisory Council, by surveys of its graduates, and by surveys of the employers of its graduates. As areas needing change are identified, they are carefully considered by the faculty, prior to the implementation of any changes. Curriculum changes are made through the normal change channels, and the results are monitored for effectiveness. In this manner the department is able to assure itself that its curricula are state-of-the art and remain so.

Both degree programs share the following objectives:

* Prepare the student to function and provide leadership in today's highly technical environment;

* Enhance the student's ability to communicate by oral, graphic, written and electronic means to describe engineering challenges and their solutions;

* Prepare students to solve unstructured problems through analytical means and to synthesize, analyze, and critically evaluate their solutions;

* Develop a knowledge of and appreciation for the solution of engineering problems through the use of teams;

* Instill the habit of life-long learning and professional growth in engineering practice;

* Develop the competence in the chosen discipline to assure that the graduate possesses the methodological and computational skills necessary to succeed in that field; and

* Assure that the graduate appreciates the moral, ethical and legal implications of engineering decisions.

Total Quality Management Minor

The Total Quality Management (TQM) Minor may be taken by students with any major in the University, but it is particularly appropriate for students majoring in either Industrial Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering. The minor is intended to allow students to gain the knowledge and skills necessary for effective application of quality management techniques in manufacturing, service and not-for-profit organizations. The TQM Minor will help fill the need, especially for graduates in engineering and business, who are trained in the concepts, techniques, tools and methods of analysis used for the continuous improvement of product, service or process quality. Computer-based approaches are used whenever they are available and appropriate. A complete description of the minor is included in the "University Programs" section of this catalog.

INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING

Industrial Engineering is a dynamic profession with credible growth and increasing importance. Industrial engineers use engineering principles to design, develop, implement and improve integrated systems that include people, materials, information, equipment and energy.. As problem-solvers, industrial engineers are equipped with practical and scientific tools to tackle complex industrial problems and to increase the productivity of workers, capital, and facilities.

The accredited industrial engineering curriculum provides a broad background in humanities and social sciences, mathematics, physical sciences, engineering science, analysis, design, and systems. It provides a good balance between the traditional industrial engineering subjects and the most recent developments in the discipline. Industrial engineering students take courses in work analysis and design, process design, human factors, facilities planning and layout, engineering economic analysis, production planning and control, systems engineering, computer utilization and simulation, operations research, quality control, automation, robotics, and productivity engineering. The program is designed to provide the student with a good foundation of basic concepts and principles in addition to applied engineering techniques. The department and university laboratories and equipment, including computers, are integrated into the coursework throughout the program.

Industrial Engineering students are encouraged to join the Cal Poly Pomona chapter of the Institute of Industrial Engineers. Eligible students may be invited to join the student chapter of Alpha Pi Mu, the industrial engineering honor society.

MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING

The Manufacturing Engineering program contains a unique, well-balanced curriculum designed to prepare the student for a fast and productive entry into today's complex manufacturing environments. The program is one of only two of its kind in California and is well-received by the industrial community. Manufacturing engineers plan, develop, and optimize the process and systems of production. They improve manufacturing productivity by developing better methods of assembling, testing, and fabricating systems and products.

Manufacturing Engineering students are given a solid foundation in production processes and techniques, properties of materials, computers and automation management, and professional communication. These building blocks are then combined and studied as manufacturing systems and then related to the most recent manufacturing technologies. Integrated sequences of courses are provided in: (1) Engineering Design Graphics; (2) Materials and Manufacturing Processes; (3) Process, Assembly and Product Engineering; (4) Manufacturing Productivity and Quality; and (5) Manufacturing Integration Methods and Systems Development. What makes the manufacturing engineering program unique is the fact that it is designed to help the students apply what they have learned through laboratory assignments, projects, field trips, trade shows, and co-op work. Students get laboratory experience in metal-removal processes, forming and assembly, computer numerical control, robotics, and CAD/CAM.

Manufacturing engineering graduates are in demand by all types and sizes of manufacturing companies because of their diversified training in traditional as well as new areas of manufacturing knowledge. The rapid growth of new technologies in computer-integrated manufacturing, robotics, lasers, rapid prototyping, artificial intelligence, and composites have opened a whole new world of opportunities for manufacturing engineers. The trend in industry is toward utilizing design engineers and manufacturing engineers as a team in order to produce more economical and functional products.

The Manufacturing Engineering curriculum detailed below prepares the graduate to excel in today's highly technical industrial environment. The educational objectives reflect outcomes as assessed by employers, graduates, and the industrial community. Program emphasis is placed on developing competence in manufacturing engineering functions, written and oral communications, teamwork, and the ability to integrate complex, interdisciplinary, manufacturing systems.

Manufacturing engineering students are encouraged to join the student chapter of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers. They can also join student chapters of the American Foundrymen's Society, the Institute of Industrial Engineers, and the American Society for Quality. Eligible students may be invited to join Alpha Pi Mu, the industrial engineering honor society.

Mechanical engineering has traditionally been one of the most general branches of engineering. A mechanical engineer requires a broad knowledge in many fields: mechanics, thermal/fluid sciences, design, machinery and instrumentation, energy, control system theory and more. The breadth and flexibility of a mechanical engineer's education provides a wide choice of careers and allows movement into a variety of engineering areas to better meet the challenges of a changing world. The accredited mechanical engineering curriculum permits students to explore different fields, specializing in one or more of them as they find their true interests. In particular, the curriculum is designed to:

* provide a solid background in mathematics and science coupled with an applications-oriented polytechnic approach in the presentation of engineering course material;

* provide a comprehensive program of general education courses that will provide students with the necessary background to understand the economic, environmental, ethical, political, societal and cultural impact of their engineering solutions and decisions;

* develop good written and verbal communication skills;

* encourage lifelong learning in their chosen field;

* provide the necessary tools and background to become a professional engineer; and

* provide a learning environment enhanced by faculty with actual engineering experience whose prime focus is teaching.

During the junior and senior years, approved technical electives packages in various areas of Mechanical Engineering are available to students. These areas are Energy (Thermal/Fluid Sciences), and Mechanical Design and Analysis Those students who wish to further their knowledge in these specific areas may take all of their technical elective units from any one of these packages. These students will be awarded a certificate attesting to the fact that they have successfully completed the courses in a particular area. Others, who would like to have a more general knowledge of the Mechanical Engineering field, can choose their technical elective courses from any combination of the packages.

Principles developed in the classroom are applied to the operation of heat transfer equipment, fluid handling equipment, energy, energy systems, environmental control systems, internal and external combustion engines, mechanical systems, and testing of engineering materials.

Students desiring to major in Mechanical 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 this department to determine which courses meet the program requirements.

Mechanical engineers work in industry, business, government, universities, and in the professions of law and medicine. They are involved in research, development, design, testing, production, operation, maintenance, marketing, sales, administration, management, and education. Graduates of the program are prepared to do productive work in their first jobs as well as to grow with their profession throughout their engineering career. The curriculum is designed to prepare a student for direct entry into the engineering profession and for graduate school.

Mechanical engineering students are encouraged to become active in the student chapters of the Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Society of Automotive Engineers, the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers, and The Association of Energy Engineers. Qualified students are invited to join the student chapter of Pi Tau Sigma, the mechanical engineering honor society.
