The mission of the College of Engineering is to provide students with a program of study leading to a comprehensive education designed to prepare individuals for, and support them in, careers in engineering and related professions. The goals of the College are to:
To accomplish these goals, the following Program Educational Objectives have been established:
- Provide undergraduate education in interdisciplinary engineering, computer science and selected traditional engineering disciplines.
- Strengthen the engineering program by implementing changes based on continuous assessment.
- Serve society by providing continuing support to graduates, industry, the profession, and the community.
- Provide graduate education and research opportunities in selected areas.
These include problem formulation and solution skills, teamwork concepts, communication skills, and ethical and business considerations.
- Produce graduates who are able to practice in the respective field of engineering (interdisciplinary--IE, civil--CE, electrical--EE, mechanical--ME, or nuclear--NE) or computer science to serve primarily state and regional industries and/or government agencies.
- Produce graduates with the necessary background and technical skills to work professionally in:
- various engineering fields (IE);
- the design and development of structural, geotechnical, roadway, and environmental systems (CE);
- the design and development of control and electronic systems (EE);
- the design and development of thermal and mechanical systems (ME);
- the design, development and analysis of nuclear systems (NE);
- the scientific computing field (C S).
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree program in Engineering, which is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET), include Interdisciplinary Engineering, designed to be as flexible as possible to accommodate individual areas of interest within the requirements of the EAC/ABET. Specialty degrees, with additional credit requirements, are available in Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. The B.S. degree program in Engineering Management is also available. This program is designed to provide graduates with a background in both engineering and management disciplines. The College also administers the program for the Bachelor of Science in Computer Science with support from the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Business. The objective of this program is to provide students with an understanding of the discipline of computing and prepare them for entry into scientific computing professions.
- Prepare graduates for personal and professional success with an awareness and commitment to their ethical and social responsibilities. They will have an understanding that life-long learning is an integral part of personal, professional and social interaction.
- Prepare graduates who are capable of entering and succeeding in an advanced degree program.
Engineering students are encouraged to take the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam (administered nationally, twice a year) during their senior year, while the breadth of the engineering material covered on the examination is still fresh in their minds. This exam is considered the first step in professional licensure for engineers. Those who successfully pass the FE exam, while enrolled at ISU, will have that fact noted on their transcript.
ISU engineering graduates are successfully employed in many areas of the engineering profession. Many have chosen to continue advanced studies in a wide variety of specialized engineering disciplines.
The emphasis in the program at Idaho State University is to develop design competence in multi-disciplinary engineering. Each student entering the engineering program is assigned a faculty advisor to guarantee an appropriate plan of study and to insure continuity throughout the program. Each student completes 91 credit hours of general education and engineering core courses, which account for more than five semesters. They devote their last three semesters to more specialized, design-oriented courses. The College of Engineering offers sequences in the disciplines of structures, geotechnics, control systems, analog and digital electronic systems, energy systems, nuclear science and engineering, and mechanical systems. The student will select two of the seven sequences for a total of 26 credit hours and, with advisor approval, 11 credit hours of elective courses from science, mathematics and engineering. During the last two semesters, each student completes senior design projects and is also expected to complete the national standardized Fundamentals of Engineering exam.
Students entering the program are expected to meet the following preparatory requirements: (a) adequate algebra and trigonometry to enter the calculus sequence; (b) one year of computer studies or demonstrated familiarity with computer language and computer fundamentals; and (c) one year of high school mechanical drawing, or equivalent. Preparatory mathematics, computer and mechanical drawing courses are available at ISU.
Pledge of Engineering Academic Standards:
1. Prior to formally declaring engineering as their major, students are classified as "pre-engineering" students. To become eligible to declare the major, the student must complete at least 10 of the 12 "key courses" listed below with a minimum grde of "C-" (C-minus) in each course, and must have at least a 2.0 GPA, both in the key courses and overall.
Key Courses
MATH 170 Calculus I 4 cr
MATH 175 Calculus II 4 cr
CHEM 111 General Chemistry I 5 cr
PHYS 211 Engineering Physics 4 cr
PHYS 212 Engineering Physics 4 cr

ENGR 223 Materials and Measurements 3 cr
ENGR 224 Materials and Measurements Lab 1 cr
ENGR 240 Introduction to Electrical Circuits 3 cr2. No key course may be repeated more than twice, and any remaining key courses must be completed by the end of the first semester following the declaration.
3. Upon making the declaration and submitting the proper form, if approved, students become eligible to enroll in upper division engineering courses (i.e., those numbered 300 or above). The student will not be allowed to register for any College of Engineering upper-division course until the declaration has been approved.
4. Students who fail the same engineering course twice will be dismissed from the college for a period of one year.
5. Students who have been dismissed from the college may not enroll in engineering courses.
6. A student who enrolls in an engineering class while petitioning for a waiver of applicable prerequisites must secure the waiver within the first month of classes or be dropped from the course in question.
Under the Graduate School, the College of Engineering administers a program leading to the Master of Science and Ph.D. degrees. The M.S. program comprises majors in Nuclear Science & Engineering, Measurement & Control Engineering, Environmental Engineering, and Engineering Structures and Mechanics. The study of Hazardous Waste Management may be selected as an option under each M.S. degree major. The Ph.D. is available in Engineering and Applied Science and in Nuclear Science and Engineering. For more information, see the Graduate Catalog. Additional graduate programs are available through interdisciplinary majors with mathematics and the physical sciences.

Bachelor of Science in Engineering Management
The engineering management curriculum consists of two curricular paths. One leads to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Management, the other to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Management with Emphasis in Nuclear Engineering. Both paths share a common core of courses. Each path concludes with a specialized course sequence specific to its requirements.All engineering management students must complete two of the three General Education Goals 6, 7 and 8; and two of the three Goals 9, 10A or B and 12 in satisfying the humanities and social science requirements. The 12 credits of humanities and social science electives must conform to college requirements for breadth and depth of study. The mathematics courses in the core curriculum satisfy the requirements of Goal 3.
The chemistry and physics courses in the core curriculum satisfy the requirements of Goals 4 and 5.
