*Total hours required for this major may exceed the minimum 124 credit hour institutional requirement and will vary according to course selection. It is recommended students complete high school algebra II, trigonometry, physics and two years of a second language in high school.
Minimum Grade Requirements
- Average in (a) all college course work, and (b) course work at UCO: 2.00
- A minimum grade of “C” must be earned in all courses in the major to count toward meeting degree requirements.
Admission into Engineering Upper Division
Students seeking the B.S. in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics - Physics and Mechanical Engineering are required to make formal application to the Director of the School of Engineering for admission into the upper division of each of these majors. Applications must be submitted to the School of Engineering on or before the last Monday of January for Fall admission and the last Monday of August for Spring admission.
Upper division admission is open to students meeting Engineering upper division admission requirements. To be admitted into upper division, the student must have:
- A minimum retention grade point average (GPA) of 2.00 in all course work completed by the time the student is formally admitted into upper division.
- Completed 60 semester credit hours by the time the student is formally admitted into upper division.
- Completed the following courses or their equivalent with a minimum grade of “C” by the time the student is formally admitted into upper division:
Notes:
Formal approval by the school Faculty Advisor and School Director is required for admission. Preference is given to University of Central Oklahoma students. The student may enroll in no more than nine (9) hours of 3000 and 4000 level courses in the major prior to admission into upper division unless they secure formal approval from the School of Engineering.
Accelerated BS/MS
The School of Engineering offers an M.S. Engineering - Engineering Physics major. Students in the B.S. Engineering Physics program are eligible to pursue, with approval, the M.S. Engineering - Engineering Physics degree beginning in their senior year. Approved B.S. Engineering Physics students may take up to nine credit hours of 5000-level ENGR courses during their senior year of the B.S. program. These courses will count toward both the B.S. and M.S. degrees. A formal application to the M.S. Engineering program and an approval from the School of Engineering are required. Requirements are located in the UCO Graduate Catalog under Engineering - Engineering Physics.
Up to nine credit hours of the following courses can be used to satisfy both the B.S. Engineering Physics and the M.S. Engineering - Engineering Physics programs:
- PHY 5443 Quantum Mechanics
- A 5000-level PHY, ENGR, or BME course
- A 5000-level PHY course
Accelerated BS/PSM
UCO’s PSM (Professional Science Master’s) in Computational Science has partnered with the B.S. in Engineering Physics so that approved students may take up to 10 credit hours of 5000-level ENGR courses during their senior year of the B.S. program. These courses will count toward both the B.S. and P.S.M. degrees. A formal application to the P.S.M. Computational Science program and an approval from the School of Engineering are required. Requirements are located in the UCO Graduate Catalog under Computational Science - Computational Engineering, P.S.M.
Up to 10 credit hours of the following courses can be used to satisfy both the B.S. Engineering Physics and the P.S.M. Computational Science - Computational Engineering:
- ENGR 5023 Heat Transfer
- ENGR 5103 Finite Element Analysis
- ENGR 5333 Digital Signal Processing
- ENGR 5311 Digital Signal Processing Laboratory
- ENGR 5803 Mechatronics & Laboratory
- ENGR 5443 Fluid Dynamics
- PHY 5443 Quantum Mechanics
