Degrees

Bachelor of Science

The programs leading to the bachelor of science degree, offered in each of the departments of the college, emphasize the preparation of students for a professional career and continuing or graduate education.

The degree requirements for the bachelor of science include the University general education requirements (page 16) and the specific departmental requirements for graduation. A minimum grade-point average of 2.00 must be achieved. Graduation credit requirements established by the departments range from 128 to 134. There are enrollment limitations in some programs, and it is not possible to guarantee all change-of-major requests.

Bachelor of Arts

Programs leading to a bachelor of arts degree are offered in the departments of chemistry, earth sciences, mathematics, and physics. These programs provide a broad liberal education along with a major in one of these fields.

Interdisciplinary Majors
Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering

The environmental engineering program consists of two emphases: industrial processes (IP) and municipal processes (MP).

Bachelor of Science in Hydrology
The hydrology major is an interdisciplinary major offered by the departments of earth sciences and civil engineering. The coordinator of the program is J. Matthew Davis of the Department of Earth Sciences.

Interdisciplinary Minors

Interdisciplinary minors enable students to obtain experience in a specialized area and to retain identification with their major professional area. The college's interdisciplinary minors are: environmental engineering, hydrology, illumination engineering, materials science, ocean engineering, oceanography.

Other Programs

Permission of the instructor and/or the department chairperson is required. (See the course descriptions for the independent study and project courses and for specific requirements.) The initiative for independent study courses in any area rests with the student.

Special Provisions
The requirement of a given course in any prescribed curriculum may be waived by the faculty of a student's college. The student's petition must be approved by his/her major adviser and the dean of the college. This power will usually be delegated by the faculty to the dean or to a committee. (Senate Rule 05.21(s): Waiver of Requirements in a Prescribed Curriculum.)

This rule offers students the opportunity to develop a somewhat individualized plan of study with intellectual incentives and opportunities in addition to those in a regular curriculum.

In addition, upon the recommendation of the department chairperson, superior students may be allowed to count credits from up to two 800-level courses toward both a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, provided that the students have been admitted to the master's program.

Research Opportunities
The talents and expertise of the faculty in all departments are reflected in the number of ongoing research projects. Undergraduates are included in many of these research projects with the intent of discovering and fostering their creative talents. In funded research projects, students may have an opportunity to receive pay while learning.

A multiplicity of research programs is reflected in special facilities: the Analog Computer Facility, Antenna Systems Laboratory, Bioelectronics Laboratory, Computation Science Center, Electronics Laboratory, Engineering Design and Analysis Laboratory, Fluid Mechanics Laboratory, Materials Laboratories, Mechanics Research Laboratory, Sanitary Engineering Laboratory, Solid State Laboratory, Space Science Center, Wind Tunnel and Water Tunnel Facility, and X-ray Laboratory.

Students have the opportunity to acquire applied experience in business and industry by working with faculty members who undertake client-sponsored professional projects in management and technical areas for business and industry, and for state and local governments.

Study Abroad Programs
Hungary
The College of Engineering and Physical Sciences has arranged an opportunity for its students to spend the fall semester of their junior year at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BUTE) in Budapest, Hungary. Courses at BUTE are taught in English and receive prior approval for degree credit. Students studying in Budapest, therefore, will graduate on schedule at UNH. A general education course on the language, geography, and culture of Hungary, taken at BUTE, is required. The foreign student office at BUTE will appoint a Hungarian adviser for each student and will assist in obtaining housing either in dormitories, or in apartments. Further information is available from Carol French, administrative coordinator of the program, CEPS Dean's Office, or the college's foreign exchange program coordinator, Professor Andrzej Rucinski.

Puerto Rico
Students may spend one or two semesters at the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) at Mayaguez, the second largest of the three major campuses in the UPR system. While having the opportunity to learn in a Latin American environment, participants maintain their status as UNH students, pay UNH tuition, and will be able to graduate from UNH on schedule. The exchange is open to students and faculty members from all UNH majors. Since eighty percent of all courses at UPR are taught in Spanish, participants must be proficient in Spanish. Interested CEPS students should contact Carol French at (603) 862-178 in the Office of the Dean, Kingsbury Hall.

Scotland, Heriot-Watt University Exchange Program

In addition to the following departmental majors and options, departmental minors are offered in chemical engineering, chemistry, electrical engineering, geology, hydrology, mathematics, applied mathematics, mechanical engineering, physics, and statistics.

Courses

The Department of Chemical Engineering currently offers the undergraduate degree program in chemical engineering with options in energy and environmental engineering. In addition, the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences offers an interdisciplinary B.S. program in environmental engineering with the participation of the chemical engineering and civil engineering departments.

Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering
Chemical engineering is concerned with the analysis and design of processes that deal with the transfer and transformation of energy and material.

The practice of chemical engineering includes the conception, development, design, and application of physicochemical processes and their products; the development, design, construction, operation, control, and management of plants for these processes; and activities relating to public service, education, and research.

Traditional employment areas in the chemical process industries include industrial chemicals, petroleum and petrochemicals, plastics, pharmaceuticals, metals, textiles, and food. Chemical engineers are also working in increasing numbers in the areas of energy engineering, pollution abatement, and biochemical and biomedical engineering; in addition, they are employed by many government laboratories and agencies as well as private industries and institutions.

The curriculum trains students to enter the diverse areas of employment or graduate study. The considerable number of electives in the curriculum provides flexibility for individuals to design programs that fulfill their needs and interests. They also provide an opportunity for students to elect departmental options or interdisciplinary minors.

A minimum of 129 credits is required for graduation with the degree of bachelor of science in chemical engineering. There are nine electives in the chemical engineering curriculum. Six of these are for the general education requirements. The remaining three electives should consist of two chemical engineering electives and one engineering elective outside of the department. In fulfilling general education requirements, no technology courses in Group 3 will be accepted.

Students are required to obtain a minimum 2.00 grade-point average in CHE 501-502 and in overall standing at the end of the sophomore year in order to continue in the major.

Energy Option
This option covers the major areas of current interest in the energy field. The required courses provide students with a general background knowledge of fossil fuels, nuclear power, solar energy, and other alternative energy resources. The elective courses will permit the student to study topics of special interest in more depth or gain a broader perspective on energy and some closely related subjects. Three courses are required, and a minimum of two additional courses of at least 3 credits each should be selected from the electives list. Students interested in the energy option should declare their intention during the sophomore year to the department faculty. They may consult with Stephen S. T. Fan.

Environmental Engineering Option
Courses
The chemical engineering program, with its substantial requirements in chemistry, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, mass transfer, unit operations, and reaction kinetics, provides students with a unique preparation to deal with many aspects of environmental pollution problems. The option gives students a special focus on the application of chemical engineering principles and processes to the solution of problems relating to air pollution, water pollution, and the disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Three required courses must be selected, plus two electives from the electives list. Each course must carry a minimum of 3 credits. Students interested in the environmental engineering option should declare their intention during the sophomore year to the department faculty. They may consult with Stephen S. T. Fan.

Courses

"Chemistry is everywhere. From agriculture to health care, chemistry extends life and improves its quality. From disposable diapers to space suits, chemistry provides new materials--for clothing, shelter, and recreation. From computer chips to fiber optics, chemistry is the foundation of today's high technology." (American Chemical Society, 1987)

Study in chemistry leads everywhere--to careers in education, law, forensics, medicine, biotechnology, environmental protection, technical sales, semiconductors, and industrial chemicals production.

Students interested in chemistry may major in one of three programs offered in the department, depending upon their plans for a career. Since the required chemistry courses in each degree program are the same in the first year, it is easy to change from one program to another.

In each of the programs, students should register for the following courses in the first year: CHEM 403 (first semester), General Chemistry; CHEM 404 (second semester), General Chemistry; MATH 425 (first semester), Calculus I; MATH 426 (second semester); Calculus II; and 400, Freshman Seminar (each semester). Students interested in a chemistry program may consult with the coordinator of undergraduate studies in the department.

Civil Engineering Courses
Environmental Engineering Courses

Civil engineering encompasses a very broad spectrum of engineering disciplines. This broad spectrum is the result of the technical needs of civilization as it has progressed through the millennia. Civil engineering has the following major subdisciplines: structural engineering, water resources engineering, geotechnical engineering, environmental engineering, transportation engineering, construction management, and surveying and mapping. There is a constant market for civil engineers due to the demands placed on the profession to construct and maintain the world's physical infrastructure.

Civil engineers plan, design, and direct the construction of public and private facilities that are essential to modern life and vary widely in their nature, size, scope, operation, use, and location. These facilities must provide safe and efficient service to the users, be cost-effective, and be compatible with the environment. For example, civil engineers design and build: tunnels, bridges, dams, roads, airports, transit systems, systems for treatment and distribution of drinking water, solid waste management and wastewater collection and treatment.

For students desiring a broad civil engineering background, the department offers a B.S. in civil engineering (CIE). The B.S. in civil engineering degree program provides a firm base in mathematics, science, and engineering. Majors are expected to develop excellent communication and computer-related skills. The program prepares majors to either enter the civil engineering profession or to pursue further advanced study. Since environmental issues have become more prominent in society, the need for civil engineers to address these issues has expanded. As a result, the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences also offers a B.S. in environmental engineering (ENE) with the participation of the civil engineering and chemical engineering departments.

Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering
The civil engineering degree program prepares graduates for many career opportunities, typically in public, private, or academic career paths. Students must enter the program with an open and creative mind. Analytical rigor is obvious, but imagination, creativity, and communication skills are just as important in resolving the many problems presented to civil engineers. Some graduates of the program pursue further education and careers in medicine, law, and business.

The Department of Civil Engineering excels in geotechnical engineering, materials engineering, environmental engineering, and structural engineering. Involvement with the Hydrology Program also provides for strength in water resources engineering. A student may design a program which covers a broad range of civil engineering topics, or may focus on a particular area. For example, students may elect from up to: 37 credits in environmental engineering, 26 credits in structural engineering, 9 credits in materials engineering, 9 credits in geotechnical engineering, or 16 credits in water resources engineering.

The importance of planning, design, and construction of facilities is stressed from the first semester on. Students in CIE 400 are introduced to a project and use that project for examples, theory, and problems in many of their subsequent civil engineering courses. In a typical project, UNH graduates are involved with planning, design, oversight and/or construction. Students have many opportunities to visit and tour a construction site, and engineers from the project come into their classes to discuss the project.

The following schedule is a typical program for civil engineering students. This schedule subscribes to the rigorous guidelines of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). The department has been continuously accredited by ABET since 1936 when accreditation began in the U.S. The program also provides the flexibility for majors to elect roughly one third of the total credits required for graduation.

The general education, engineering science, professional development, and mathematics electives are chosen to meet requirements of the University, the Department of Civil Engineering, and ABET. The engineering science elective is a course taken from an engineering program or department in the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences other than civil engineering. Students must have the proper prerequisites to select this course. Complete and current lists of the engineering science, mathematics, and professional development electives are available from the civil engineering department.

In order to enter the required 600-level CIE and ENE courses (junior year), a CIE major must have completed the mechanics sequence (CIE 528 and CIE 529) plus MATH 425, 426, and PHYS 407 and 408 with a minimum of a 2.00 grade-point average. In addition, the student must have taken and received a passing grade in CIE 530. Exceptions to these requirements are granted only under extremely unusual circumstances and require the department's approval of a written petition.

All CIE 600- and 700-level courses are intended for CIE/ENE majors only. All other majors may enter these courses only with the permission of the instructor. These other majors are limited to a maximum of 20 credits of 600- and 700-level CIE/ENE courses.

Transfers into the civil engineering major should have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.30 and have taken at least 16 credits (four courses or more) of math, physics, chemistry, civil engineering or environmental engineering (MSE) courses with a minimum grade-point average of 2.00. In addition, 16 credits of these MSE courses must exhibit a grade-point average of 2.50 or better. Students (except for ENE majors) transferring into the CIE major may transfer up to a maximum of 20 credits of CIE/ENE 600- or 700-level coursework. Grades in CIE/ENE courses taken prior to entering the CIE major must be C- or better to fulfill major requirements.

No CIE major may repeat more than two CIE/ENE courses. Any CIE major who receives lower than a 2.00 grade-point average for more than two consecutive semesters may not continue as a CIE major. Any CIE major who receives lower than a 2.00 cumulative grade-point average in CIE/ENE courses during any three semesters may not continue as a CIE major.

The CIE program requires a minimum of 133 total course credits for graduation. To qualify for graduation, a CIE major must: have satisfied the previously specified course requirements, have satisfied the University's general education requirements, have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.00, and have a minimum CIE/ENE cumulative grade-point average of 2.00.

Courses

Computer scientists are concerned with all aspects of the design and implementation of computer software. They are concerned with problem solving in general, with particular emphasis on the design of computer-efficient solutions. This involves detailed understanding of the nature of algorithms, the software implementation techniques necessary to utilize these algorithms on computers, and a knowledge of how algorithms can be combined in a structured manner to form highly complex software systems.

The program leads to a B.S. in computer science and is designed to prepare students for employment in the computer field or to pursue graduate study in computer science. The program emphasizes the application of computer science theory and principles but also includes a broad background in basic mathematics and an introduction to computer hardware. Most courses require heavy use of the computer, and the laboratories stress hands-on experience with computer equipment.

Computer science majors must obtain an overall grade-point average of 2.00 or better in all required computer science, mathematics, and electrical engineering courses in order to graduate. If at the end of any semester, including the first, a student's cumulative average in these courses falls below 2.00, the student may not be allowed to continue as a CS major.

All students wishing to transfer into a computer science major must have completed at least one full year of calculus (MATH 425 and MATH 426) and one full year of computer science (CS 415 and CS 416). The student must receive a grade of at least C+ in each of these four courses. In addition, the student must achieve a grade-point average of 3.00 in these two mathematics courses and a grade-point average of 3.00 in these two computer science courses. The student must also have an overall grade-point average of 2.00 or better in all courses taken at UNH.

If a student wishing to transfer into a computer science major has taken any other courses that are applicable to the computer science major, the grades in those courses must satisfy the minimum requirements for the B.S. degree in computer science. (A student is not normally expected to have taken such courses prior to requesting the transfer.)

Courses

The courses offered in the Department of Earth Sciences cover the broad spectrum of earth sciences, with emphases on geology, hydrology, geochemistry, and oceanography. The curriculum encompasses a group of related studies concerned with an understanding of the Earth and its environment. Study of the processes that shape the continents and oceans, drive the hydrologic cycle and ocean circulation, and affect climate change and the evolution of life is based on a foundation of basic mathematics, physics, and chemistry.

The need for people trained in the earth sciences has been increasing in response to society's growing concern with sound environmental and resource management, including the disposal of waste on land and in the atmosphere and oceans; the management of water resources; the development of energy and mineral resources; and the assessment of environmental hazards. In addition, the demand for well-trained secondary school teachers of earth sciences has been steadily increasing.

The Department of Earth Sciences offers five majors: B.S. geology, B.S. hydrology (interdisciplinary with the Dept. of Civil Engineering), B.A. earth sciences, B.A. earth sciences/oceanography, and B.A. earth science teaching. These programs prepare students for advanced study in the geosciences; for entry-level professional employment in public or private institutions concerned with environmental and resource management, including consulting firms, government agencies, energy- and resource-extraction firms, utilities, and nonprofit organizations; and for secondary-school teaching of earth sciences.

The Department of Earth Sciences also offers a minor in geology, as well as interdisciplinary minors in hydrology and oceanography.

Courses

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering offers an accredited program in electrical engineering. Within this program, students may choose options in computer engineering or signals and systems. Additional information can be found at the ECE Web site: www.ece.unh.edu.

Electrical engineers are concerned with the design, development, and production of products and systems that involve electrical signals. Thus, broad areas of application are covered, such as monitoring the environment, outer space and the ocean floor, developing robots for factories and biomedical instruments for hospitals, and building microcomputers and power systems. They use such principles and techniques as computer-aided design, optics, acoustics, electronics, automatic control theory, and electromagnetics. Further, it is essential for electrical and computer engineers to include in their work a variety of realistic constraints, such as economic factors, safety, reliability, aesthetics, ethics, social implications, and environmental impact.

Electrical engineering graduates readily move into design, product development, manufacturing, sales and marketing, customer application support, and business management roles within prominent computer and electronic system companies. They routinely secure professional positions with the nation's leading computer and network hardware and software firms, wireless communication and telecommunication providers, medical electronic industries, and custom integrated circuit developers. The strength of the electrical engineering program is such that many graduates successfully complete advanced degrees in engineering and business at top-ranked graduate schools, while others have gone on to obtain law or medical degrees.

At UNH, the cornerstone of the electrical engineering program is the involvement of students in the solution of real-world problems. During the freshman and sophomore years, student take basic courses in mathematics and science, learn how to use computers, and receive introductory experience in electric circuits, logic design, electronics, computer organization, and random processes. Building upon this foundation, students in the junior year develop core competencies in electronics, signal processing and control systems, computer engineering, and electromagnetics. In the senior year, students select professional elective courses to acquire both breadth and depth in specific areas of electrical engineering.

In addition to general University requirements, the department has a number of grade-point average and credit requirements:

1. For an electrical engineering major to enter the junior year and take any of the first-term junior courses (EE 544, EE 617, EE 633, EE 651, or EE 690), he or she must have taken, and achieved a cumulative grade point average of 2.10 in, all of the following freshman and sophomore courses: MATH 425, 426, 527; PHYS 407, 408; and EE 541, 543, 548, 612, and 647.

2. Any electrical engineering major whose cumulative grade-point average in EE courses is less than 2.00 during any three semesters will not be allowed to continue as an electrical engineering major.

3. Electrical engineering majors must achieve a 2.00 grade-point average in EE courses as a requirement for graduation.

To make an exception to any of these departmental requirements based on extenuating circumstances, students must petition the department's undergraduate committee. Mindful of these rules, students, with their advisers' assistance, should plan their programs based on the distribution of courses in the chart below for a total of at least 128 credits.

Options and Minors
In the junior year, students complete the core courses and may begin studying in a chosen option. Students may choose an option and additionally may elect one of the various minors (see page 50). The options, described in the following paragraphs, provide for professional electives so that students may pursue their individual interests. In addition, the senior year features many opportunities for individual or group projects.

Computer Engineering Option
Because of the continued improvement of the price/performance ratio of computers, they have become embedded in virtually every electrical engineering system. Computer engineering, traditionally a subset of electrical engineering, is a rapidly growing field that emphasizes the design, interfacing, hardware/software tradeoffs, and real-time application of computers. Students who elect this option will gain a knowledge of both hardware and software concepts, and will learn to design, build, and test systems containing digital computers.

The student must take 20 credits in a program approved by the computer engineering option adviser. Requirements include taking and passing the following: (1) EE 707; (2) three courses from the following two groups, with at least one course from each group: Group A: EE 711, EE 715, EE 717; Group B: EE 714, CS 508, CS 610, any CS 700-level course; (3) a computer-related course approved by the computer engineering option adviser; (4) a computer-related senior project.

Signals and Systems Option
Modern electronic and computer-controlled products (e.g., CD players, cellular phones and pagers, medical diagnostic imaging systems, anti-skid automotive braking systems) are made possible only by the complex processing of voice, video, and sensor signals. The design of advanced communication, control, and signal processing systems is at the heart of the "information revolution" sweeping through society. The signals and systems option enables students to concentrate their studies on this exciting area where computer, communication, and control concepts converge.

The student must take 20 credits in a program approved by the Signals and Systems option adviser. Requirements include taking and passing the following: (1) EE 634; (2) EE 757; (3) EE 772; (4) one course from the following group: EE 711, EE 714, EE 717; (5) any other EE 700-level course; and (6) a signals and systems-related senior project.

Courses

Engineering technology requires the application of engineering and scientific knowledge and methods combined with technical skills in support of engineering activities. Normally engineering technology is not concerned with the development of new principles and methods. The engineering technology program offers only junior- and senior-level work. Students admitted to this program must have an appropriate associate's degree from the New Hampshire Technical Institute, the Vermont Technical College, Keene State College, or an equivalent T.A.C.-A.B.E.T.-accredited institution or evidence of ability to successfully complete the requirements of the program. Curricula in electrical engineering technology and mechanical engineering technology are offered. Students may continue study in their fields of specialization, select electives that broaden their educational backgrounds, and participate in project courses where, as part of a technology team, their talents are applied in solving real problems. Engineering technology students can elect to complete a minor in illumination engineering. Interested students should request the separate brochure describing this minor.

Students interested in an engineering technology program may consult with the program chairperson, Ralph W. Draper, 138 Parsons Hall, (603) 862-1827.

Illumination Engineering
Lighting is pervasive in our society, representing roughly one percent of the nation's GNP. The purpose of the illumination engineering minor is to introduce students to the world of light, from its pure science to its practical application.

The minor is open to juniors and seniors who desire a multidisciplinary experience in the science and technology of light and vision. Completion of this minor will prepare a student for entry into a variety of positions in the lighting industry with light source companies, lighting fixture companies, utilities, energy management firms, consulting firms, building systems companies and design firms.

To enter the minor, students must have completed MATH 425 and 426, PHYS 407 and 408, and CS 410, or have equivalent background. Some elective courses listed for the minor may have additional prerequisites. No more than one course expressly specified as being required in the student's major may be used to satisfy minor requirements.

Requirements for the minor are a minimum of five courses totaling at least 18 credits, distributed as follows:

Required Courses
ET 762, Illumination Engineering
ET 763, Lighting Design and Applications

Two courses from among
EE 760, Introduction to Fiber Optics
EE 761, Optical Engineering
PSYC 710, Visual Perception
TECH 564, Fundamentals of CAD

ET 734, Economics of Business Activities

One course from among
ARTS 532, Introductory Drawing
ARTS 455, Introduction to Architecture
ARTS 574, Architectural History
THDA 548, Stage Lighting Design and Execution

Students should declare their intent to enter the minor in their junior year and plan their program in consultation with either of the minor advisors: Professor Ralph Draper, Engineering Technology, Parsons 138 or Professor Joseph Murdoch, Electrical Engineering, Kingsbury 242.

Students should complete an Intent to Minor form at the beginning of their program and a Completion of Minor form during their last semester. Students may apply to the dean to have the minor appear on their transcripts.

Courses

The College of Engineering and Physical Sciences offers a Bachelor of Science Degree in Environmental Engineering (ENE) and an interdisciplinary minor in environmental engineering.

The ENE degree program consists of two emphases (curricula): Industrial Processes (IP) and Municipal Processes (MP).

The objective of the program's strong analytical core and multidisciplinary focus combining engineering and the sciences is to prepare graduates for many career opportunities in public, private, or academic career paths. Graduates from the program will possess strong analytical aptitude as well as exhibit creativity, imagination, and excellent written and oral communication skills. They will understand environmental problems and approaches to their solutions and how to organize the technical resources needed to implement remedies. Graduates will be able to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to environmental engineering problems, analyze and interpret data and solve environmental engineering problems, design environmental engineering systems, function on multidisciplinary teams, communicate effectively, understand the impact of engineering solutions on society, and understand professional and ethical responsibility.

At the end of the sophomore year, students are required to have a minimum overall grade-point average of 2.00 and a grade-point average of 2.00 in all mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering courses to be permitted to enroll in junior-level courses.

To qualify for graduation, an ENE major must: have satisfied the previously specified course requirements, have satisfied the University's general education requirements, have a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.00, and have a minimum grade-point average of 2.00 in engineering courses.

Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering--Industrial Processes (IP) Emphasis
The industrial processes (IP) emphasis of environmental engineering is a process-based program that draws on the principles of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and engineering sciences. Due to the complex nature of many aspects of environmental pollution, a broad understanding of the fundamentals of engineering and sciences forms the most desirable preparation for a career in the environmental field. The program is designed to provide training not only for end-of-pipe pollution control technologies, but also for expertise in process engineering and process design, essential for achieving the objectives of pollution curtailment and prevention. Such training is especially valuable in resolving industrial pollution problems. Career opportunities for environmental engineers with this background are found in industry, research institutes, government agencies, teaching, and consulting practice. Students may also enter graduate study at the M.S. or Ph.D. levels.

Engineering design is a critical aspect of the IP curriculum. In order to meet the objective of producing creative, problem-solving engineers, design concepts are introduced early in the curriculum and design experience is integrated into every engineering course. Students learn to seek optimal solutions to open-ended problems and function in design-based team projects. Design ability is finally demonstrated at the end of the capstone course (ENE 608), when self-directed teams develop a comprehensive design report for a full-scale engineering process based on a national process design competition problem.

Since 1993, the program faculty has administered a Pollution Prevention Internship Program with industries in New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts, initially funded by US EPA and NHDES. In the past five years, the program has served more than forty facilities. Each year about twelve students have enrolled in the Pollution Prevention Internship Program which provides hands-on industrial employment for ten weeks during the summer assisting industry with projects in process modification, material substitution, chemical re-use, risk assessment, safety and economic analysis. The program faculty also assisted NHDES in setting up instrumentation in the seacoast region of New Hampshire to monitor the precursor of ozone formation.

The B.S. program requires a minimum of 133 credits for graduation and can be completed in four years. There are eight electives in the curriculum: five for the fulfillment of the University's general education requirements and the remaining three for technical electives to be chosen from the specified elective course list. Due to the substantial overlap in course requirements for the environmental engineering IP and chemical engineering majors, students will be able to transfer between these two programs during the first three semesters without losing any course credits towards graduation.

Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering--Municipal Processes (MP) Emphasis
Environmental engineers graduating from the municipal processes (MP) emphasis plan, design, and construct public and private facilities to minimize the impact of human activity on the environment and to protect human health. For example, environmental engineers with a municipal processes perspective design and build drinking water treatment systems, municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants, solid waste management facilities, contaminated ground water remediation systems, and hazardous waste remediation facilities. These facilities must meet regulatory requirements, be cost-effective to build and maintain, be safe to operate, and have minimal environmental impact. The environmental engineer is trained to lead the multidisciplinary teams needed to solve complex environmental problems.

In ENE 400, students are introduced to the full spectrum of environmental engineering projects that they will subsequently explore in design teams during their degree program. As part of these experiences, students visit and tour field sites, and interact with engineers who have been involved in the design and/or construction of the projects. Design is integrated throughout the curriculum, and particularly emphasized in junior- and senior-level courses. As part of these projects, students analyze treatment alternatives, recommend a system that meets regulatory operational needs, and prepare an implementation schedule and project budget. Detailed design projects are performed in ENE 744 and 746. ENE 788 serves as a capstone design experience where students work on an environmental engineering project provided by a local engineering firm or municipality and apply skills learned in other courses while working with real world clients.

The following schedule is a sample of a planned program for environmental engineering students completing the major within the municipal processes emphasis.

Environmental Engineering Minor
The environmental engineering minor is intended primarily for students in engineering and physical sciences, who are not in the chemical, civil, or environmental engineering degree programs. Students contemplating such a minor should plan on a strong background in the sciences and mathematics (including differential equations).

The minor provides a comprehensive introduction to major areas of interest in environmental protection, namely air pollution and water pollution, through the three required courses. Further breadth in environmental engineering or depth in specific areas can be attained through the choice of appropriate elective courses.

The minor requires a minimum of five courses as follows: (1) three required courses: ENE 645, Fundamental Aspects of Environmental Engineering; ENE 709, Fundamentals of Air Pollution and Its Control; ENE 772, Physicochemical Processes for Water and Air Quality Control, or ENE 643, Environmental Sampling and Analysis; (2) a minimum of two elective ENE courses.

Choice of elective courses should be made in consultation with the minor area adviser, Nancy Kinner, civil engineering, or Dale P. Barkey, chemical engineering. Students normally start this program in the junior year and should declare their intention to enter the program as early as possible during the sophomore year. During the final semester, students must apply to the dean to have the minor appear on the transcript.

Courses

A variety of programs is offered by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. These programs provide flexibility through elective choices and are designed to maximize educational and employment opportunities.

Each student must enroll in one specific program; however, changes between programs can usually be accommodated.

The first two years of all programs are similar. In the first year, students are expected to take MATH 425 and 426 as well as an introductory computer science course (either CS 410, Introduction to Scientific Programming, or CS 416, Introduction to Computer Science II). In the sophomore year MATH 527, 528, 531, and/or 545, or the linearity sequence MATH 525-526 (that combines the material of MATH 527, 528, and 645), keep a student on schedule in most programs. General education courses will normally be completed by the end of the sophomore year.

In addition to its degree programs, the department has an active interest in the actuarial profession and is an examination center for the Society of Actuaries. Those interested in actuarial science should consider the interdisciplinary option in actuarial sciences.

For more information about the department's undergraduate programs, visit the Web site www.math.unh.edu.

Standards for Graduation
To be certified for graduation with a degree from the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, a student must complete all courses used to satisfy the requirements for the specific major program with a grade of C- or better and have an overall grade-point average of 2.00 in these courses. The student must remain in good standing within the defined requirements of the University.

Please note that neither CS 401 nor CS 403 may be taken for credit in any program in mathematics.

In extenuating circumstances a student may petition for a variance in academic policy, including changes in program requirements by submitting the standard UNH form for this purpose with his/her adviser, who will then forward the petition to the department's Undergraduate Program Committee for consideration. If the committee approves the petition, it is forwarded to the CEPS Dean's Office for further action.

Bachelor of Science in Mathematics
This program offers the strongest concentration in mathematics or statistics. One of three options--Traditional, Applied, or Statistics--can be selected depending on the student's interest.

The Traditional Option primarily prepares students for graduate study in mathematics or for careers requiring outstanding reasoning and the ability to think abstractly.

The Applied Mathematics Option prepares students for a career in business, industry, or government, with an emphasis on the construction and solution of mathematical models. This concentration maintains the rigor of the traditional option, while exposing students to the analytical and computational tools required for problem-solving in an applied or industrial setting. This option also provides a solid preparation for graduate work in mathematics, applied mathematics, or related fields.

The Statistics Option trains students to apply mathematical models and probability-based logic to numerical information (data), and to address problems that range from the design of industrial experiments, sample survey design, and the analysis of "messy" or incomplete data. Students completing this program are well-suited to be entry-level statisticians in business, industry, or for graduate study in statistics.

Courses

Mechanical engineering is a challenging profession encompassing research, design, development, and production of aerospace vehicles, underwater vessels, instrumentation and control systems, nuclear and conventional power plants, and consumer and industrial products in general. The profession also makes contributions through more fundamental studies of material behavior, the mechanics of solids and fluids, and energy transformation. Additional information can be found at the mechanical engineering Web site: www.unh.edu/mechanical-engineering/index.html.

The mechanical engineering program develops the student's creative potential to meet the increasingly complex needs of industry, government, and education while giving an appreciation of the role of technology in a modern society.

The curriculum prepares prospective graduates either for more advanced studies or for beginning professional engineering careers. It provides a foundation of knowledge in the basic physical sciences, mechanics of solids and fluids, dynamic systems, thermal sciences, materials science, and design. Students develop abilities in analysis, experimentation, and design. Elective courses allow students to gain additional competence in any of these specific areas. Other elective courses in the arts, humanities, and the social sciences are included to provide a liberal education.

Students, with their advisers' assistance, should plan a program based on the following distribution of courses that totals not less than 128 credits. The outline that follows is to be considered as being typical only in format. Within the constraints of satisfying all of the requirements and having all the necessary prerequisites, schedules may vary because of scheduling needs or student preference. Some mechanical engineering elective courses may not be offered every year.

The curriculum has thirteen elective courses. These should be selected in consultation with a departmental adviser to lead to a balanced program that addresses chosen areas of interest. Five of the elective courses are selected from groups four through eight of the University's general education requirements, with the Group 7 general education course being either ECON 402 or EREC 411. One of the elective courses must be selected from the biological science listing of Group 3 of the general education requirements. Seven technical elective courses of at least 3 credits each are required. They may be selected from 600-700 level courses in College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, excluding BET, and from the following 500 level courses, CIE 520, ESCI 501 and EE 543. Three of the seven technical electives must come from the prescribed lists: A. engineering practice; B. mathematics; C. advanced engineering topics. These lists are available in the mechanical engineering office. All students must take one course from each list. Two of the remaining four technical electives can be used for studying a focused area such as a foreign language, or a preprofessional program, or a minor, with mechanical engineering department approval. Some programs may require additional elective courses to reach the minimum of 128 credits required for graduation. Other programs may exceed 128 credits to include all the required courses.

To enter the junior-year courses in the mechanical engineering major, students must have at least a 2.00 combined grade-point average for the following group of courses: PHYS 407-408, ME 503, ME 525, and ME 526.

In order to graduate in the mechanical engineering major, students must have at least a 2.00 grade-point average in all engineering and science courses, including required technical electives normally taken as department requirements after the start of the junior year. The option of repeating required engineering, science, and technical elective courses normally taken after the start of the junior year may be exercised in only one of the following: (1) one course may be repeated twice; and (2) a maximum of two courses may be repeated once.

Materials Science Minor
The minor, administered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, is open to all students of the University and offers a broad introduction to materials science.

Students must complete at least 18 credits and a minimum of five courses as follows: ME 561 (required); ME 760 (required); and ME 730 (required); additional courses from the following: 731, 744, 761, 762, 763, and 795 (materials).

By midsemester of their junior year, interested students should consult the minor supervisor, James E. Krzanowski, Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Courses

Physics is concerned with the properties of matter and the laws that describe its behavior. It is an exact science based on precise measurement, and its objective is the kind of understanding that leads to the formulation of mathematical relationships between measured quantities. As a fundamental science, its discoveries and laws are basic to understanding in nearly all areas of science and technology. Advances in such diverse fields as medical instrumentation, solid state electronics, and space research have relied heavily on the application of basic physical laws and principles.

Students interested in the study of physics at the University of New Hampshire will find a strong interaction between research and academic programs. Undergraduates have participated in research studies ranging from nuclear scattering experiments at major particle accelerators to astrophysical studies of the solar system using space probes. These experiences have proven beneficial to engineering and physics students alike. The department has its own library, which provides a comfortable, inviting atmosphere for study and relaxed reading.

The suggested programs that follow are indicative of the flexibility available to students, whether they are preparing for graduate work in physics, industrial opportunities, governmental research, secondary-level teaching, or a general education that might utilize the fundamental knowledge of physics.

Several undergraduate degree programs are offered through the Department of Physics. The B.S. degree is designed for students who wish to work as professional physicists or engineers; the B.S. option allows for students to combine physics with other disciplines. The B.A. degree is designed for students who want a strong background in physics but also want a broad liberal education. A minor in physics allows a student to combine an interest in physics with another major.

Physics related degrees are also offered in other departments. For those students with strong interests in both math and physics, the Department of Mathematics offers a B.S. interdisciplinary option in physics. For those interested in a career as a middle or high school educator in both physics and chemistry, the Department of Chemistry offers a B.A. in chemistry and physics teaching.

Interested students are encouraged to contact the department for further information. More detailed information is also on the Physics Department Web page at www.physics.unh.edu.

Minor in Physics
The minor in physics consists of five courses in physics. The suggested courses are PHYS 407, 408, 505 and two of PHYS 406, 508, or 605. Other courses are acceptable for a minor, but have several physics and mathematics prerequisites.

Bachelor of Arts, Chemistry and Physics Teaching
This major is designed for students who wish to teach chemistry and physics in secondary schools. The number of positions available for teaching only chemistry or physics is limited, and there are more opportunities to teach both subjects on the secondary-school level. Chemistry and physics teaching majors will have good preparation for teaching these subjects and will have the necessary mathematics and education background.

Physics Major, Bachelor of Arts
This degree provides an opportunity for a broad and liberal education, which in some cases may be sufficient for graduate work. A judicious choice of electives may also prepare students for interdisciplinary programs that require proficiency in a restricted area of physics.
