The Aerospace Engineering program is offered inthe Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineer-ing. In aerospace engineering, you will apply the laws ofphysics and mathematics to problems of aircraft flightand space vehicles in planetary atmospheres and ad-joining regions of space. Maybe you will design spaceshuttles, rockets, or missiles. Possibly you might designmilitary, transport, and general aviation aircraft, or aV/STOL (vertical/short take-off and landing) aircraft.You could design a spacecraft to travel to Mars or a moredistant planet.

You’ll be able to tackle problems in the environmen-tal pollution of air and water and in the natural wind ef-fects on buildings and structures. Designing all types oftransportation systems, including high speed vehicles,urban rapid transit systems, and undersea craft, mightbe some of the challenges you will undertake.

Your professional training in aerospace engineeringwill be directed generally toward the analysis and designof aerospace vehicles, including aircraft, missiles, andspacecraft with special emphasis on the fundamentaltreatment of aerospace science. You will accomplishyour goals through your basic training in gas dynamics,stability control dynamics, structures, propulsion, andaerodynamics including cross-lineage between theseareas. You will use this knowledge to design, build, andflight test aerospace systems during the sophomore andsenior years.

Your studies at UMR will include both basic scienceand engineering science, mathematics, and liberal artscourses as well as advanced aerospace engineeringcourses. Within aerospace engineering, you can choosenine hours of technical electives in a special interestarea such as aerodynamics, dynamics structures, com-posites, flight dynamics, controls, propulsion, and aero-elasticity.

Your design courses will be integrated with UMR’scomputer graphics system to unify the graphical capa-bilities of the computer into your design experience. TheMechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department alsohas a departmental honors program. This program pro-vides enhanced educational opportunities for you if youqualify. Upon satisfactory completion of the program,the designation of “Honors Scholar in Engineering” willappear on your diploma and transcript.

ArchitecturalEngineeringBachelor of ScienceEmphasis areas include structural engineering,construction engineering and project manage-ment, environmental systems for buildings, andconstruction materials.

Architectural engineers plan, design, and superviseconstruction of many essential facilities and structuresfor residential commercial, industrial and institutionalbuildings. These building systems include electrical,communications and control, lighting, heating, ventilat-ing, air conditioning, fire protection, plumbing, andstructural systems. Architectural engineers are problemsolvers ... applying the latest in high-tech equipmentand sophisticated procedures to address challengesconcerning our environment and infrastructure. The di-versity of architectural engineers complements the useof multiple systems to the intent and purpose of the pro-ject’s design.

The Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering(BSAE) degree requires satisfactory completion of 138credit hours. In your first two years, you will completemathematics, physics, English, architectural design andother prerequisite courses. In your third and fourthyears, most of your course work will be in engineeringsciences. Also in your fourth year you will complete en-gineering design courses in general and specific areas.

Courses in structural, electrical, mechanical andlighting design are directed toward providing reliableand economical structures such as stadiums, retail com-plexes, office buildings and airports. Courses in con-struction engineering include studies in constructiontechniques, cost estimating, quality control/quality as-surance, and contract administration. History, architec-tural design and humanities provide the necessary toolsto appreciably coexist in the fabric of society.

Architectural engineering is a broad field of endeav-or. Because of this breadth, courses are required in eachof the above areas. Although you, as a architectural en-gineer, may specialize within a given area, by the verynature of the profession you will be required to interactwith specialists in the other areas. You will find that youwill be working with architects and engineers in the oth-er disciplines in the planning, design, and constructionof complex facilities.

Architectural engineers also must be effective incommunicating with the public. You may be expected towork with property owners, concerned citizens, city of-ficials, attorneys, and even medical doctors for concernsrelated to public health measures. The results of yourwork as a architectural engineer will be seen every-where. Projects in which you will become involved mustbe economical, appreciable to self and community, andprovide a reasonable life expectancy. Use of computerhardware and software is a key component of the BSAEprogram of study.

Chemical engineering is the branch of engineeringwhich deals with changing the composition, energy con-tent, and state of aggregation of materials. As a chem-ical engineering student, you will consider the funda-mental properties and nature of matter (chemistry), theforces that act on matter (physics), and the precise ex-pressions of the relationships between them (mathe-matics). Extensive use is made of computers in the ap-plication of these sciences to engineering problems.

As a chemical engineer, you may study ways inwhich pure water can be obtained from the sea; designprocesses to provide fertilizers, rubber, fibers, and fu-els; or team up with other engineers and scientists inbiomedical engineering to develop specialized polymer-ic materials for use in artificial arms, legs, and other hu-man organs. You may be instrumental in finding sup-plemental food sources for man-such as protein frompetroleum, wood, or the sea. You might help developnew processes for the application of biochemistry, ener-gy conservation, or environmental control-such as re-ducing undesirable substances in the air. Or, you mighthave a hand in the creation of strong lightweight mate-rials to be used in aircraft construction. Your opportuni-ties will be unlimited.

At UMR, you will have laboratories available whichoffer training in qualitative and quantitative analysis,organic and physical chemistry, physics, unit opera-

tions, biochemical engineering, design, and automaticprocess control.

Your studies will give you a broad technical basiswith an emphasis on material balances, energy bal-ances, separation processes, rate processes, unit oper-ations, and process economics and design.

Among its facilities, the department features digitaldata acquisition and control equipment for research andinstruction which allows simultaneous utilization of thesystem by several people. A full complement of hard-ware exists for input and output of signals to and fromprocess equipment and instrumentation. The depart-mental computer network makes available a wide vari-ety of professional software. Also included is equipmentto measure thermodynamic and physical properties,study biochemical engineering processes, polymers,surface phenomena, fluid mechanics, membranes,chemical kinetics, and diffusion.

Mission StatementThe department aspires prepares chemical engi-

neers for successful careers of leadership and innova-tion in chemical engineering and related fields; expandsthe knowledge base of chemical engineering through itsscholarly pursuits; develops technology to serve socie-tal needs; and benefits the public welfare through serv-ice to the chemical engineering profession.

BSChE Program Objectives: Graduates Will Have:1) A strong fundamental scientific and technical knowl-

edge base and critical thinking skills which providethe foundation for design, experimentation, inter-pretation, and analysis, and for life-long learning.

2) The ability to apply science, mathematics and engi-neering skills and work in multi-functional teams toidentify and formulate solutions for problems faced bypracticing chemical engineers, and to design and an-alyze chemical engineering systems and processes.

Included in the study of civil engineering are cours-es in environmental engineering that are directly relat-ed to the solution of hazardous waste and pollutionproblems, to providing potable and economical watersupply systems, and to maintaining a safe environment.Water resources engineering is related to hydraulic andhydrologic engineering, flood control, rainfall, andrunoff prediction and the transport in flows. Studies ingeotechnical engineering address the bearing capacitiesof soils, settlement of foundations, and the design ofboth deep and shallow foundations. Courses in structur-al analysis and design are directed toward providing re-liable and economical structures such as bridges, build-ings, port facilities, and intricate lock and dam facilities.The principles involved in this sequence of courses arealso applicable to the design of automobiles, aircraft,spacecraft, and future space structures. Transportationengineering involves the movement of people and car-go from place to place, the design of airports and high-ways, and traffic studies to maintain efficient flows.Courses in construction engineering include studies inconstruction techniques, cost estimating, quality con-trol/quality assurance, and contract administration.

terials engineering involves the production, quality con-trol, use, and property analysis of construction materi-als such as asphalt, concrete, aggregate, wood, mason-ry, and steel.

Civil engineering is a broad field of endeavor. Be-cause of this breadth, courses are required in each ofthe above areas. Although you, as a civil engineer, mayspecialize within a given area, by the very nature of theprofession you will be required to interact with special-ists in the other areas. You also may find that you willwork with engineers in other disciplines such as me-chanical, electrical, or geological engineering in theplanning, design, and construction of complex facilities.

Civil engineers also must be effective in communi-cating with the public. You may be expected to workwith property owners, concerned citizens, city officials,attorneys, and even medical doctors for concerns relat-ed to public health measures.

The results of your work as a civil engineer will beseen everywhere. Projects in which you will become in-volved must be economical, provide an adequate factorof safety for the particular use, and provide a reason-able life expectancy. To do this adequately and within areasonable time frame, you will find that, with the ex-ception of your engineering training, the computer isone of the most important and valuable tools you willuse to produce a proper design or to complete a specif-ic project. You may expect that your courses taken incivil engineering will require the use of computer hard-ware and software related to the different areas ofstudy.

Emphasis areas at all levels in Water andWastewater Resources Engineering; Geo-Environ-mental Engineering; Air Pollution and Control; En-vironmental Chemistry and Processes, Environ-mental Microbiology and Processes

Environmental engineers uphold the dual goals ofminimizing our impact on the local, regional, and globalenvironment and concurrently improving our standardof living. In this role of preserving environmental andpublic well being, environmental engineers face uniqueissues and must have a strong background in the fun-damental earth sciences in order to understand complexenvironmental problems and then pose and design ap-propriate engineering solutions. As problem solvers forsomething as diverse as "the environment," environ-mental engineers also need to understand the most cur-rent technologies used in practice and have a desire tomaintain a high level of learning in this rapidly evolvingand developing field.

The work place you will enter as an environmentalengineer is diverse. Consulting firms represent a largeportion of the work force and many specialize in areasof water and wastewater treatment. Drinking water andwastewater treatment are cornerstones of the environ-mental engineering field, and your education in thisarea will be thorough. Turning river, lake, or even seawater into drinking water is a unique expertise andtakes great understanding as each water source offers

distinctive challenges. Air pollution has become a greatconcern on scales ranging from the global atmosphereto the indoor environment. From a fundamental under-standing of the chemistry and dynamics of air pollution,you will learn how human activities degrade air qualityand also be able to evaluate and design control technol-ogy to reduce emissions from industry and othersources. The geology of a location greatly impacts itswater resources, and your understanding hydrogeologyis important as an environmental engineer. The amountand quality of water a geologic formation can producecan determine the development in an area, and yourunderstanding the subsurface hydrology will be requiredin order to remediate a contaminated groundwater site.You will also be ready to enter a number of governmentagencies which are active in environmental issues. TheU.S. Environmental Protection Agency, state depart-ments of natural resources, departments of health, andthe US Departments of Energy and Defense all have po-sitions that require a wide array of skills and expertise.These skills and expertise can include all those men-tioned above and specific chemical and biologicalprocesses used to mitigate unique contamination prob-lems, as well as public health, regulation enforcement,or project management. The courses and skills learnedas an undergraduate student will also prepare you forentering graduate studies and furthering your expertiseand preparing you for a leadership role in the field.There are numerous specialized positions that will re-quire a graduate education.

Within the UMR Environmental Engineering Programyou can focus your education in any of the emphasis ar-eas: Water and Wastewater Resources Engineering,Geo-Environmental Engineering, Air Pollution and Con-trol, Environmental Chemistry and Processes, Environ-mental Microbiology and Processes. While you can fo-cus your education to meet specific emphasis of yourchoice, some courses are required in each of these ar-eas. The breadth of the programs offered in environ-mental engineering at UMR allows graduates to interactwith many different aspects of the field and communi-cate with the wide range of professionals that are en-countered in this particularly interdisciplinary field. Pro-ject teams may include health care professionals, cityplanners, developers, and all types of engineers. Addi-tionally, the ever-developing field of environmental en-gineering is saturated with legal issues, many of whichare yet to have precedents or legal statutes established.

You will have courses in all the areas mentioned,and many will include laboratory courses and experi-ence in the newly built John and Susan Mathes Environ-mental Engineering Laboratories in the Civil EngineeringBuilding. In addition to new teaching laboratories, thelaboratory facilities include a pilot-scale unit-operationslaboratory, temperature control facilities, a roof-topgreenhouse, and state of the art analytical facilities.Undergraduate-level research is encouraged and allowsyou to participate in environmental research carried outit the Environmental Research Center and across theUMR campus. In summary, the diverse curricula, inter-disciplinary faculty, and superb facilities afford you anexcellent opportunity for an unparalleled education and

prepare you for a bright future of solving tomorrow'sproblems in environmental engineering.

ComputerEngineeringBachelor of ScienceMaster of ScienceDoctor of Philosophy

The Computer Engineering Program is designed toprepare an engineer to work in both the abstract soft-ware world, where high level languages and more com-plexity will often provide a solution to a problem, and inthe physical world where designs are often compromis-es between many opposing factors. The program furtherprepares engineers to compete in today’s rapidly chang-ing marketplace by providing the fundamental concepts

and attributes that will enable them to recognize andunderstand future developments.

The distinction between a computer engineer andthe more traditional computer science major or digitaldesign electrical engineer may be in his/her desire tounderstand and participate in the entire process of us-ing abstract algorithms and data structures to controlchanges in real physical devices.

There are many aspects to Computer Engineering.A Computer Engineer might be working on the design ofa new automobile brake system where a knowledge ofthe electronic sensors and the dynamic nature of thebrakes might be as important as the programming ofthe I/O handler interrupt subroutine in high level C orassembly language. Another project such as the designof a distributed control system for a factory floor mightrequire the engineer to have an extensive backgroundin computer networks and programming as well as anunderstanding of the manufacturing process.

The major objective of the Bachelor of Science inComputer Engineering degree curriculum is to providean in-depth education in both the hardware and soft-ware aspects of modern computer systems. At the sametime it provides options that allow students to selectcourses in other science and engineering areas that willprovide additional background for future positionswhere knowledge about a system may be as importantfor a particular task as computer skills.

The Bachelor of Science in Computer EngineeringDegree Program is ABET- accredited requirements. Itprovides training in technical skills in both lecture andlaboratory courses. It develops communication tech-niques in courses such as technical writing and speech.It provides humanities and social science electives thathelp develop the perspective necessary to understandthe social impact of engineering solutions. A two-se-mester senior project allows students to hone technicaland communication skills while working as a team on achallenging venture.

The Computer Engineering Program follows theElectrical Engineering Program into the sophomoreyear and then branches into Computer Science cours-es in data structures, discrete mathematics, operatingsystems, and computer networks as well as continuingwith core courses in electrical engineering. It includescomputer design courses and hardware laboratories.Students will first complete the Freshman Engineeringprogram thus obtaining basic science skills along withorientation about the various degree programs atUMR. This allows students time to consider differentcareer options before they have to commit to a givendegree program.

Students should work closely with their advisor tocarefully plan each semester’s class schedule in order tohave the correct prerequisites for courses in the follow-ing semesters. They should also select electives in theprogram to provide the background in areas they wishto emphasize for a different career path.

Students in other disciplines working with their ad-visor should be able to plan a program that would allowthem to graduate with a degree in the original disciplineand a Computer Engineering degree by sharing some

electives and taking additional course work. Studentswith a qualifying GPA should consider the alternative ofworking towards a MS degree in graduate school insteadof a second B.S. degree.

The following are examples of four different areas orcareer paths. They are by no means exhaustive and it isnot necessary to select any one of them. You are en-couraged to select your own grouping of electives to suityour unique needs and interests. Digital Systems De-sign topics include computer architecture, digital cir-cuits, high performance systems, parallel processors,testing, and VLSI design. Electrical Engineering can bea career path in Computer Engineering or a separate de-gree. See the section on Electrical Engineering for em-phasis areas in electrical engineering. Embedded Com-puter Systems topics include hardware/software co-de-sign, microprocessor systems, real-time systems, andsmart sensors. Systems, Intelligence, and Software En-gineering topics include computational intelligence,computer networks, dependability, fault tolerance, im-age processing, neural networks, and system securi-ty/survivability.

Mission StatementThe mission of the Computer Engineering Program,

consistent with the School of Engineering and the UMRcampus mission statements, is the education of stu-dents to fully prepare them to provide leadership in therecognition and solution of society’s problems in thearea of Computer Engineering. Fundamental to the mis-sion of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engi-neering is the operation of the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D., de-gree programs in Computer Engineering. The educa-tional objectives for the undergraduate program are:First, you will obtain a broad education that crosses de-partmental boundaries while still attaining technicaldepth in areas impacted by computer engineering. Yourskills will allow individual or team solutions to difficult,novel, multidisciplinary problems; effective balancing ofmultiple design issues; and lifelong adaptation to newtechnological developments. Secondly, you will obtain asolid understanding of professional and ethical respon-sibility and a recognition of the need for, and ability toengage in, a program of lifelong learning. Finally, youwill experience an academic environment in which smallclasses are taught by full-time faculty and which fosterslifelong learning, leadership, scholarship, and an appre-ciation of the value of diversity.

Electrical EngineeringBachelor of ScienceMaster of ScienceDoctor of PhilosophyDoctor of EngineeringEmphasis areas at all levels in circuits, communi-cations-signal processing, computer engineering,control, electromagnetics, electronics, and power.

Electrical engineers are involved in channeling nat-ural resources into uses for man such as heating, light-ing, home appliances, transportation, and communica-tions. They are primarily concerned with the processesof generation, transmission, transformation, control,and utilization of energy or information.

In electrical engineering education at UMR, you canchoose to emphasize an area which especially interestsyou or you can study a broader spectrum of course work.

In circuits, you will study the application of basicelectrical elements - energy sources, resistors, induc-tors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors - as they arefound interconnected in operational electrical networks.

The communications-signal processing area includessuch studies as the makeup of information-bearing sig-nals, modulation systems, and detection techniques.

If you want to stress computer engineering, you willstudy the design and/or applications of microprocessorsystems, digital logic, digital-logic devices, digital designand automation, large computer systems, robot visionsystems, artificial intelligence, and distributed processing.

The control emphasis area provides course work inthe design and application of circuits and systems usedto automatically monitor and regulate devices, ma-chines, and systems for optimal performance in a vari-ety of operations including flexible manufacturing.

In electromagnetics, you will study high-frequencywaves, antennas, and microwave systems of varioustypes for propagation and transmission of electrical sig-nals through space or conductors.

Physical electronics focuses on the operation oftransistors, solid state devices, and integrated circuitsas used in linear, digital, and wave-shaping circuits.

In power, you will deal with the design and applica-tion of motors, generators, transformers, distributionsystems, high-voltage design methods, and the eco-nomic transmission of energy.

No matter which emphasis area you choose, yourfirst two years of study will be devoted to courses in thefundamentals of engineering, basic sciences, mathe-matics, and humanities and social sciences. Electricalengineering courses become concentrated during thelast two years. Required electrical engineering coursesin the junior and senior years cover all the specialty top-ics of electrical engineering.

Elective courses provide for study in greater depthof areas of particular interest to individual students.

Your classrooms and laboratories will be in theEmerson Electric Co. Hall. Additional electrical and elec-tronics research activities are being conducted in the

various research centers and in the Engineering Re-search Laboratory.

Emphasis Areas in Engineering Management

Manufacturing Engineering focuses on the de-sign and improvement of manufacturing and packagingsystems, including flexible manufacturing systems,computer integrated manufacturing systems, sustain-able product design and process development, andpackaging engineering systems.

Industrial Engineering focuses on productivityanalysis and system optimization for manufacturing andservice organizations. Industrial engineering includes avariety of quantitative and qualitative techniques toidentify potential improvements in productivity, quality,safety, and other areas.

Quality Engineering addresses the continous im-provement needs of diverse industrial organizations in-cluding piece part manufacturing, health care, and gov-ernment. This emphasis area includes courses in totalquality management, statistical process control, engi-neering design optimization, reliability, experimentationand quality engineering.

Management of Technology focuses on the man-agement aspects of scheduling, budgeting, informationsystem design and development, legal aspects of technol-ogy management, managing people, and decision making

for positions in project engineering/scheduling, operationsmanagement, cost control/estimating, technical market-ing/procurement, sales engineering, engineering adminis-tration, information systems, and finance economic analy-sis.

Specialized Emphasis Areas allow students tocustomize their degree program and create a uniqueemphasis area, with the approval of their advisor thatfocuses on a traditional engineering field or even aunique combination of engineering courses.

The Engineering Management idea of bridging thegap between the traditional curricula of engineeringand management has proved to be extremely success-fully and durable with many graduates now in top ex-ecutive positions.

FreshmanEngineering Program

Entering freshmen desiring to study engineering areadmitted to the Freshman Engineering Program. Theymay state a preference for a major in a particular engi-neering field if they wish. In the event a preference isstated, it will be used in the consideration for freshmenscholarships, if available, in the preferred department.

The goals of the Freshman Engineering Program are: 1) to provide high quality advising in order to enhance

the likelihood of student academic success, and2) to provide information about careers in the various

engineering fields so that students can make an in-formed decision regarding an engineering career.

Freshman Engineering — 169

Students will complete a set of required coursescommon to all engineering fields and then may apply foradmission as degree candidates to the department oftheir choice.

Other FacultyDepartments from the Schools of Engineering and Ma-terials, Energy & Earth Resources, as well as the De-partment of Basic Engineering, contribute to providing acentralized and coordinated advising effort.

Common Engineering Freshman YearThe following courses are common to all the engi-

neering programs offered at UMR and are normally tak-en while the student is in the Freshman EngineeringProgram. Courses required in the remainder of eachprogram are listed under that program’s description inthis catalog.

• Mathematics 14 and 15• Freshman Chemistry Requirement1

• English 20• Humanities/Social Sciences courses2

• Basic Engineering 10• Basic Engineering 20• Physics 23

1) Chemistry 1,2, and Chemistry 4, or an equivalenttraining program approved by UMR. Students plan-ning to major in ceramic engineering, chemical en-gineering, environmental engineering, or metallur-gical engineering will require additional chemistryand should either plan to also take Chemistry 3 dur-ing their freshman year. Students planning to majorin Petroleum or Geological Engineering should takea three hour elective in chemistry, geochemistry, orbiology in the freshman year, in addition to Chem 1,2, and 4.

2) Students, at some point in their course of studies,must take a course that fulfills the Williams lawrequirement. (History 112,175,176 or PoliticalScience 90).Students may transfer from the Freshman Engi-

neering Program to their major departments after hav-ing satisfied all of the above requirements except twocourses, provided the departments will accept them.

Students are advised to check special program re-quirements as listed with the program curricula in thiscatalog.

Students who will be in the Freshman EngineeringProgram more than two semesters may request aFreshman Engineering advisor from their major depart-ments for the third semester.

MechanicalEngineeringBachelor of ScienceMaster of ScienceDoctor of PhilosophyDoctor of EngineeringEmphasis areas at all levels in control systems,energy conversion, environmental systems, in-strumentation, manufacturing processes, materi-als science, mechanical design and analysis, andthermal science.

The mechanical engineering program is offered inthe Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineer-ing.

Mechanical Engineering has broad applications andis one of the most basic of all branches of engineering.

As a mechanical engineer you will be concerned withthe conversion and transfer of energy from one form toanother; with the design, construction, and operation ofall types of machines; and with the selection and designof instrumentation and systems for the control of alltypes of physical and environmental systems.

You may design products and manufacturingprocesses, supervise production methods and opera-tions, design and supervise fabrication and testing of in-dividual machines and complete plants, or be involvedin applied or basic research.

In your first few semesters as a mechanical engi-neering student, you will develop a sound background inthe fundamental sciences of mathematics, physics, andchemistry, and you will take a broad selection of liberalarts courses. You will also learn to work with computers.Onto this foundation you will add the basic requiredcourses of engineering sciences and technology includ-ing stress analysis, machine design, machine dynamics,electricity, electronics, control theory, thermodynamics,heat transfer, energy conversion, fluid mechanics, com-puter-aided engineering (CAE), and computer-aided de-sign (CAD).

To provide some degree of specialization for thosestudents who are interested in a particular area of me-chanical engineering, there are six hours of technicalelectives that you can select to concentrate in an em-phasis area (such as robotics, manufacturing automa-tion, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, dynamics and con-trols, solid mechanics, vibrations, and design). If youare interested in getting some background in a closelyallied field such as aerospace, petroleum, or nuclear en-gineering, you can, with the aid of your advisor, selectsome of your desired technical electives in those fields.

The Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering depart-ment also has a departmental honors program. Thisprogram provides extra educational opportunities foryou if you qualify. Upon satisfactory completion of theprogram the designation of “Honors Scholar in Engi-neering” will appear on your diploma and transcript.
