course Introduction to Scientific Computing (recommended)
course (recommended)
A score of 4 on the Calculus BC test or 5 on the AB test only gives students 8 units, not 10 units, so is equal to MATH 19 + MATH 20, but not MATH 21. The Math Placement Exam determines what math course the student starts with.
It is recommended that the CME series (100, 102, 104) be taken rather than the MATH series (51, 52, 53). It is recommended that students taking the MATH series also take course Introduction to MATLAB.
Another course that can count for course (required) is course
List of Approved Math Courses in Undergraduate Engineering Handbook website.
Must also take one School of Engineering approved Science Elective, course is recommended.
NOTES
For School of Engineering approved Science Electives see list of Approved Courses in Undergraduate Engineering Handbook website.
A score of 5 on the AP Physics C Mechanics test places the student out of PHYSICS 41. Similarly, a score of 5 on the AP Physics Electricity and Magnetism test places the student out of PHYSICS 43.
NOTES
course (recommended)
For School of Engineering approved Technology in Society courses: see list of Approved Courses in Undergraduate Engineering Handbook website
The course must be on the School of Engineering approved list the year you take it
For additional information and sample programs see the Handbook for Undergraduate Engineering and the Aeronautics and Astronautics Undergraduate Program Sheet .
All courses taken for the major must be taken for a letter grade if that option is offered by the instructor.
Minimum Combined GPA for all courses in Engineering Topics (Engineering Fundamentals and Depth courses) is 2.0.
Select either the Spacecraft or Aircraft course sequence.
The Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics honors program has been designed to allow undergraduates with strong records and enthusiasm for independent research to engage in a significant project leading to a degree with departmental honors.
Students who meet the eligibility criteria and wish to be considered for the honors program should apply to the program by the end of the junior year. All applications are subject to the review and final approval by the Aero/Astro Undergraduate Curriculum Committee.
Application Requirements:
One-page written statement describing the research topic and signed adviser form
GPA of 3.5 or higher in the major
Unofficial Coursedog transcript (from Axess)
Signature of thesis adviser
Honors criteria:
Maintain the 3.5 GPA required for admissions to the honors program.
Arrangement with an Aero/Astro faculty member who agrees to serve as the thesis adviser. The adviser must be a member of the Academic Council.
Under the direction of the thesis adviser, complete at least two quarters of research with a minimum of 9 units of independent research; 3 of these units may be used towards a student’s Aero/Astro Focus Elective requirement.
Submit an honors thesis (20-30 pages) to department. Thesis must be signed by faculty major advisor and the undergraduate program director.
Signature and Title pages of finished thesis should be emailed to dlazar@coursedog.edu by end of May.
Attend Research Experience for Undergraduates Poster Session or present in another suitable forum approved by the faculty adviser.
