Locate and read the following: a. The mission statement of your institution b. Educational objectives and student outcomes of your engineering program Are the educational objectives and student outcomes consistent with the mission statement of the institution? Write a one-page paper discussing how they are or are not consistent.
Assuming you have already devised a road map showing the courses you will take to meet the requirements for your engineering major, review this plan with your academic advisor and revise it based on the feedback you receive.
Does either your engineering college or your engineering department publish an Engineering Student Handbook? Obtain a copy and read it thoroughly. Write a one-page paper summarizing what you learned that will be of benefit to you.
Investigate the graduate programs available in engineering at your institution. Which engineering programs offer M.S. degrees? Which engineering programs offer Ph.D. degrees? Write down the requirements (e.g., GPA, Graduate Record Examination scores, etc.) one needs to be admitted to a graduate program in your major.
After you have completed 100 units, your overall GPA is 2.4. During the next term you take 16 units and achieve a \(3.4\) GPA for the term. What is your overall GPA then? If your overall GPA was \(3.4\) after 100 units and you take 16 units and make a \(2.4\) GPA for the term, what is your overall GPA then? What is the point or message of this exercise?
