Upper division engineering courses (3000 level and above) used to satisfy degree requirements within the College of Engineering are restricted to majors and minors of the College of Engineering.

ENGR 3095. Leadership Academy Capstone. (0)  Prerequisites:  Admittance into the Leadership Academy program.  Participants apply leadership, teamwork, ethical decision-making, communication, and strategic planning principles learned during prior semester Leadership Academy modules to a community-based service learning project.  Implementation and evaluation of projects are approved by Leadership Academy staff and advisory board members.  Graded on a Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory basis.

ENGR 3290. Fundamentals of Engineering Review. (1)  Prerequisite: Senior standing.  Review of the basic engineering and science material covered on the Fundamentals of Engineering examination, the first step toward professional licensure.  Graded on a Pass/No Credit basis.

ENGR 3295. Multidisciplinary Professional Development. (1)  Prerequisite: Senior standing or Junior standing per departmental requirements. A series of multidisciplinary and disciplinary seminars and activities designed to introduce students to basic concepts of professionalism in engineering.
