Bachelor of Engineering in Systems Engineering

Students pursuing a double major in computer and systems engineering need to complete at least 163 credit hours to meet the requirements of both majors. Students can choose between the two capstone course sequences CPEG 475 and CPEG 480, or STEG 475 and STEG 480; however, the selected capstone project topic must be a cross of both majors. Six course electives (18 credit hours) and two lab electives (2 credit hours) must be selected, in consultation with the academic advisor from 200-level or higher CPEG, ELEG, STEG, ENGR, and/or CSIS courses.

 
The electives must be chosen according to the following rules: 

1. At least two of the course electives must be CPEG courses.

2. At least two of the course electives must be STEG courses.

3. A maximum of one CSIS course elective

4. One of the lab electives must be a CPEG lab.

5. One of the lab electives must be an STEG lab.

6. At least four of the course electives must be 300-level or higher courses.

The course electives are restricted to the following:

CPEG Electives:

CPEG 388, 389, 422, 430, 441, 450, 455, 460, 470

Students joining the double major option after completing a Capstone Course Sequence might need to take a second Capstone Course Sequence depending on their capstone project topic. In the case where a second Capstone Course Sequence is mandated for the student by the College, four course electives (12 credit hours) and two lab electives (2 credit hours) must be selected in consultation with the academic advisor from 200-level or higher CPEG and STEG courses.

 
The electives must be chosen according to the following rules and restricted to the lists provided above:

1. Two of the course electives must be CPEG courses.

2. Two of the course electives must be STEG courses.

3. One of the lab electives must be a CPEG lab.

4. One of the lab electives must be an STEG lab.

5. At least two of the course electives must be 300-level or higher courses.

Applications from students required to finish less than 144 credit hours for their computer/systems engineering degree (catalogs prior to AY 2014-15) to join the double major option or to have a second-degree (both AUK and non-AUK graduates) will be considered on a case-by-case basis and might be subject to additional requirements.

IMPORTANT:

Scholarship students may not seek a double major unless the required credits for the second major fall within their scholarship major’s (first major) limited credit hours, e.g., total of 124 (most programs) or 144 (CPEG/ELEG/STEG) required credit hours. Students are financially liable for any additional credit hours beyond those required for their first major.

• The student is limited to a maximum of 6 credits hours of internship. A maximum of 3 credit hours (taken in increments of 1, 2 or 3 credits) may be applied to the major electives. An additional 3 credit hours of internship may be counted towards a second major, minor or as free electives.
   

• For the durations of the semester—16 weeks, students should work at least 2.5 hours per week (for 1 credit); 7.5 hours per week (for 3 credits); 10 hours per week (for 4 credits); and 15 hours per week (for 6 credits). A minimum of 120 hours is required for 3 credits, 80 hours for 2 credits, and 40 hours for 1 credit. For the Summer semester, a minimum of 25 hours per week is required (6 weeks).
   

• The college sets the standards for the internship and reserves the right to decide on the suitability of the work experience.
   

• The college may assist students to find suitable employment.
   

• Students are encouraged to find their own placements. However, the college must be advised before a student approaches a prospective organization.
   

• The 470 instructors will visit the place of work where the student will be working to determine if the environment is suitable and that the nature of the work and place of work are in synergy.
   

• Contact will be established between the 470 instructors and on-site supervisor to ensure that if any problems arise during the internship, there is a clear understanding of the roles each party will play to ensure that the student has a quality learning experience.
   

• A placement is not secured until it has been approved by the college, and the student has signed and returned the Student Internship Agreement.
   

• Students are required to meet with the 470 instructor at least once a week to report on progress and activity.
   

• Any student who is dismissed from his/her internship must notify the college immediately. Failure to do so within a reasonable amount of time will result in a failing grade.
