Faculty Rules and Regulations
FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND ARCHITECTURE
Minor in Biomedical Engineering
Note: All offices are in Bechtel Building unless stated otherwise.
Admission is by selection of the most promising, eligible applicants. All candidates for admission to the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture must have completed the preprofessional educational requirements of the candidate�s country and the approved freshman program in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of this University described in the 2006-07 catalogue, or a program recognized as equivalent. The certificates recognized for admission to the first year in the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture are listed under Secondary Cert ificates in the section on Admissions in this catalogue. Holders of the technical baccalaureate (BT) are eligible for admission only to the same major as that of the BT.
More specifically, to be eligible for admission to the first year in the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, a candidate must
� demonstrate an acceptable level of proficiency in English, as specified under Admissions in the 2006-07 catalogue
� sit for the required SAT I tests as specified in the relevant section, Admissions, in the 2006-07 catalogue
� satisfy the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture requirements on character
recommendation as well as academic grounds
Students admitted to the first year are required to take all the major engineering, architecture, or graphic design courses specified in their respective programs.
Students attending recognized institutions of higher learning, including AUB, may apply for transfer to any of the engineering, architecture, or graphic design majors in the FEA. These students are eligible for consideration for admission to any of Terms I through VI (Term VIII for architecture) depending on availability of places and subject to the following conditions:
� Have completed the equivalent of the sophomore class at the college or university from which they are transferring
� Have attained a minimum cumulative average of 2.7 out of 4.0 (75 out of 100 for AUB students)
� Have taken at least 12 credits of math and basic science courses at the sophomore level or higher and attained a total average in these courses of at least 3.0 out of 4.0 (77 out of 100 for AUB students) (for engineering and architecture majors only). Students applying for transfer to architecture or graphic design majors are recommended to submit portfolios of their work.
� Have satisfied the university admissions English requirements
Applications of transfer students are evaluated and approved by the departments and the Admissions Committee of the faculty. The term in which the student is placed, and the complete program of study in the major in which s/he is admitted, are determined by the department concerned depending on the number of credits completed at the institution from which the student is transferring.
Refer to pp. 41, in the 2006-07 Catalogue.

Minor in Engineering Management
The Engineering Management Program offers a minor in engineering management that can be pursued by undergraduate engineering and architecture students, as well as by students from related majors, starting as early as the fall semester of their third year of enrollment. To satisfy the requirements of the minor, a student must earn 18 credits of course work from the engineering management course offerings.
� At least nine of the total requirement of 18 credits must be fulfilled from the six
undergraduate courses offered by the program, which must include
ENMG 400�Engineering Economy.
� The other nine credits can be satisfied by taking courses either from the list of
undergraduate courses, or from the elective graduate courses that are unrestricted to
undergraduate student registration.
A minimum grade of 70 is required for a course to count toward the fulfillment of a minor in engineering management.
