Engineering
Engineering
Science Majors:
Course Enrollment for
Spring Semester
Technology Serving Humanity
All Engineering Studies Freshmen should
be pre-enrolled for Spring 2009 courses.
“Normal” Schedule:
CM 132 Chemistry II
PH132 Physics II
MA132 Calculus II
SAS 101 – need a KA course*
ES 100 – Intr. Engrg. Use Comp.
All you have to do is select a KA/UC
course.
* We will discuss this in a moment

Not your schedule?
• Honors Program
• AP or Transfer Credits so you are already
taking some of those courses.
1. HP students should be enrolled in HP 101
+ HP 103 instead of SAS 101. You should
also meet with Dr. Craig for academic
advising before finalizing your enrollment.
2. Karen Burkum (Registrar) and I may have
substituted other courses based on your
likely needs. We should review these to
see if they are the right ones.

Clarkson Common Experience
Curriculum
http://www.clarkson.edu/common_experience/index.html
You can also find the complete description in
the Clarkson Catalog.
Today we will discuss Knowledge Area Courses,
(KA/Univ), Communications Points
and the Professional Experience Requirement
Technology Serving Humanity
Knowledge Areas (KAs):
Cultures and Societies (CSO)
Contemporary and Global Issues (CGI)
Imaginative Arts (IA)
Science, Technology, and Society (STS)
Economics and Organizations (EC)
Individual and Group Behavior (IG)
Also Common Experience University
Courses (UNIV) – have two or more
knowledge areas designated
The knowledge area requirement is
met by completing six KAs in a
minimum of five courses (so at least
one University Course).
Technology Serving Humanity
The Communication Component
Courses designated as communication
intensive are assigned communication points
on a scale of one or two (C1 or C2) to indicate
the extent of communication experience in
that course. Beyond the Clarkson Seminar
UNIV 190 (a C2 course), students must obtain
six more “communication points,” at least two
of them within the major at the 300/400 level.
Communication points can be obtained by
taking designated courses, or, with approval,
through co-curricular experiences.

The Professional Experience Requirement for
Engineering Majors
See the document at
http://www.clarkson.edu/engineering/CSOEProfExpWorksheet.pdf.
Examples: Complete a meaningful internship or
co-op, research project with a qualified mentor,
role with significant responsibility on a SPEED
team or significant design project, serve as a
leader in a professional or community service
organization …

How do I know if an experience qualifies?
It has to meet the educational objectives of the
Professional Experience Requirement (see the
document).
There is a PRE-APPROVAL WORKSHEET.
After completion – COMPLETION WORKSHEET
& POST-EXPERIENCE SELF ASSESSMENT must
be completed and approved. If approved, you
can get credit for ES 499.

Each major will have slightly different
approaches. Most will encourage doing this in the
Jr./Sr. year time frame, but there will be
exceptions.
It is never too early to start planning.
Technology Serving Humanity
There are other Common Experience
requirements that you can discuss later
with your major advisor.
If anyone wants to change majors now,
I have forms with me. Complete them
and take them to the department
administering the program you are
changing to.
