Humanities and Social Sciences Electives
The student's choice of humanities and social sciences electives must meet both the UM-St. Louis General Education Requirements and the Humanities and Social Sciences Requirements of the Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program. Check with your adviser for details. In particular:

  • A course in American history or government or in Missouri history or government must be included.
  • The cultural diversity requirement must be fulfilled.

At least 8 credit hours must be in one department or area within humanities or social sciences; of these 8 credit hours, at least 1 credit hour must be in a course at the junior level or higher, taken at a four-year institution.

  • Some courses that fulfill the humanities [H] or social sciences [SS] breadth of study requirement do not count as Humanities and Social Sciences Electives; an example would be a statistics course taught in economics or psychology.  See the Office of the Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program for a listing of courses that do not count as Humanities or Social Sciences Electives in this program, or check with your adviser.

Graduation Requirements
In addition to the requirements of the University of Missouri-St. Louis that apply to all candidates for undergraduate degrees, the student must earn a minimum campus grade point average of 2.0 and a minimum grade point average of 2.0 for all engineering courses attempted at the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

Minor in Environmental Engineering Science
A program of 18 semester hours is required to earn the minor in environmental engineering science. The minor is designed to provide formal recognition to recipients of bachelor's degrees in civil, electrical, or mechanical engineering that they have acquired the education necessary for entry-level careers as environmental professionals. They will also have a solid foundation to undertake graduate-level education in environmental engineering science.

Enrollment in all courses in the minor in environmental engineering science is limited to students who have been admitted to candidacy for the bachelor of science in civil engineering, the bachelor of science in electrical engineering, or the bachelor of science in mechanical engineering in the UM-St. Louis/ Washington University Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program. The minor may be awarded only to students who earn the bachelor of science in civil engineering, the bachelor of science in electrical engineering, or the bachelor of science in mechanical engineering in the UM-St. Louis/ Washington University Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program.

Engineering Design and Engineering Science Requirements
The number of semester hours assigned to each engineering course in the Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program is further divided into hours of engineering design, engineering science, and basic science content.  Engineering topics is the sum of engineering science hours and engineering design hours. The following table shows the design hours and engineering science hours for courses in the engineering programs.

Each engineering student must complete a curriculum that contains at least 48 hours of engineering topics semester hours, including all courses:  pre-engineering requirements, engineering core requirements, major requirements, and electives. Civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering majors should consult with their advisers to select electives at the 200 and 300 level that include sufficient engineering design and engineering science content to produce the required totals. Transfer courses from other institutions do not necessarily have the same engineering science and engineering design content as their equivalents in the UM-St. Louis/Washington University Joint Undergraduate Engineering Program.  Students who include transfer courses in their curricula should consult with their advisers to be sure that these requirements are met.
