Technical Emphasis Courses
A combination of technical courses based on the degree emphasis will be required. These courses must have the following characteristics:
- Most will have laboratory or hands-on components; these experiences will build trouble-shooting and problem-solving skills as well as provide exposure to the course topics.
- At least one multi-course sequence will be included; the program should not contain only introductory courses. Typically, there will be a 1000 level courses followed by 2000 level courses which lead to more advanced issues. Prerequisites will be established and reinforced.
- There will be a capstone experience (typically a senior project course) which requires students to call upon the comprehensive skills/knowledge gained in the program.
- All will integrate theoretical topics with practical skills.
