Plan of Study for Multidisciplinary : Acoustical Engineering Concentration with Options Credits First year Engineering Program 29-36 Students are very strongly advised to take a CAD course such as CGT 163 or 164 during their first year in engineering. A CAD course is required for this concentration.

Required sophomore mathematics : Multivariate calculus (MA 261), and linear algebra & differential equations, MA 262 or (MA 265 & 266), or equivalent 8-10

General Education : Follow Engineering’s General Education Program requirements. System Engineering option: strongly suggest MUS 250, Mus 361, Mus 362, & THTR 201. 18

Sophomore Science Selective: Must take 241 or 261or equivalent. 3-4 If MA 165 and 166 and 262 are taken, science selectives (in First Year Engineering program and this science selective) must add to at least 7 credits, or an area course must be math or science.

Statistics Selective : IDE 495*, IE 230, IE 330 or ChE 320 are suggested. The engineering courses count towards the required 47 credits in engineering. If used, STAT 350 or 511 count towards the Area requirements. * IDE 495 is normal course. (3 – counted elsewhere)

Engineering: Minimum 47 credits at 200+ level, of which at least 18 credits are at 300 + level , of which at least 6 credits must be at the 400+ level . Maximum number of credits in any one engineering discipline is 24. Note: It is the student’s responsibility to meet all prerequisites.

Required Engineering Core : (Can substitute or transfer equivalent courses except for IDE 301 and major design experience courses, which must be taken at Purdue-West Lafayette.)

Topic: Example Courses: Credits Electrical circuits ECE 201 or equivalent 3 Statics and Dynamics* (ME 270 + ME 274), A&AE 203, (CE 297 + 298) or equivalent 3 or 6 Fluid mechanics * ME 309 (1 cr. counts as lab), CE 340, A&AE 333 & 333L (1 cr. Counts as lab), ChE 377 (1 cr is lab) or equivalent 3 Thermodynamics ME 200, ABE 210, ChE 211, MSE 350 or equivalent 3 Engineering Economics IE 343 or equivalent 3 Capstone design EPICS (senior design option) or IDE 485 3 Professional Preparation IDE 301 1 Typical Engineering Core total credits 19-22 *Most fluids courses require a statics/dynamics prerequisite. The recommended sequences are: CE 297+CE 298+CE 340+CE 343(lab) 9 cr core + 1 cr lab ME 270 + ME 274 + ME 309 9 cr core + 1 cr lab A&AE 203 + A&AE 333 + A&AE 333L 6 cr core + 1 cr lab Students who plan to earn a minor in should take the ME sequence. Some mixing of courses is allowed because courses are considered to be equivalent (for example, ME 270 + CE 298 +CE 340 + CE 343), but students should discuss other sequences with an advisor first.

Engineering Selectives : Do parts a, b, and c. Note: It is the student’s responsibility to see that all prerequisites are met. a. Three additional credits of engineering design. In this POS this requirement is usually met with ECE 590D (Sound option) or ME 413 (Vibrational option). Should be completed before IDE 485 or EPICS. (3 – counted elsewhere) b. Three credits of hands-on (not computer) laboratory. At least 2 credits must be in engineering (Example courses: A&AE 204L, A&AE 333L, A&AE 352L, A&AE 364L, ECE 207, ECE 208, ECE 357, CE 343, CE 344, and the following count for 1 credit each: ABE 305, ECE 270, CE 203, CE 352, CE 353, IE 386, ME 309, MSE 235, MSE 335, MSE 367, NUCL 205). One credit of hands-on lab (not computer) may be in other disciplines (e.g., science, THTR, A&D) but courses cannot be one of the required courses in the First Year Engineering Program. (Note: Since CHEM 116 is a selective for students who entered Purdue in August 2006 and later, it satisfies the requirement of one credit of lab, but the credit cannot be double counted.) Only the credits assigned to lab can be included in this category. 1 cr lab (may be counted elsewhere) + 2 engr lab Note: The lecture credits of engineering courses with 1 or 2 credits of lab can be included in engineering electives, and the lecture credit for courses in other disciplines can be included in Area except for CHEM 116 (for students entering Purdue August 2006 and later) where all four credits are included in the First Year Engineering Program. c. Engineering course in materials or strength of materials. (Example courses: MSE 230*, NUCL 273*,A&AE 204, CE 231, ChE 330, or ME 323). 3 *Most commonly taken materials or strength of materials courses, respectively. *Nucl 273 is required for the Vibrational option. Total credits engineering selectives: 8 engr + 1 cr lab

Area Required Selective in Area: CAD Course such as: CGT 110, 163, 164; THTR 554. Can be part of first year engineering program – credits not doubled counted for graduation. 3 or 2

Sound System Engineering Option Required courses: If possible students in this option are expected to earn an ECE minor (the ECE minor has a GPA requirement). The following courses are required for this concentration and also count towards the ECE minor. ECE 202 Linear Circuit Analysis II 3 ECE 255 Intro to Electronic Analysis and Design 3 ECE 270 Digital Logic Design (also counts as 1 cr lab) 3 (not incl lab) Required Engr for option total 9

Selectives: A. Take one of the following courses: ME 413 (counts as design selective, but cannot double count) ME 513 Engineering ECE 495M Sound Reinforcement Design (design selective, but cannot double count) 3 If these courses are not offered substitutions approved by ENE will be allowed.

Selectives: B. Choose one of the following (also part of ECE minor): ECE 301 Signals and Systems (3) and ECE 207 (1) (ECE 207 counts as 1 cr lab) ECE 305 Semiconductor Devices (3) and ECE 207 (1) ECE 321 Electromechanical Motion Devices (3) and ECE 207 (1) ECE 362 Microprocessor Systems and Interfacing (4) (counts as 1 cr lab) 3 (not incl lab) Selective total 3 or 6 not incl. lab Total Area required & Selective (without double count of design or lab) 12 to 15

Suggested Engineering electives : CE 350, CE 355, ECE 301, ME 365, ME 375, ME 597A (Practical Experience in ), any courses taken on selective list not taken as selective, additional design courses, and undergraduate research in acoustics. Engineering course taken as Statistics Selective counts as engineering area course, but is not double-counted. Total Engineering Area Courses 16-20 Total required Engineering credits @ 200+ level 47

Theatre Selectives: A minimum of seven THTR credits are required for the Sound-System option. Do as many of the following as you can schedule: THTR 163, 263, 353, 363, 368, 553, 563, 569, and 597. Minimum 7 Note 1: Since scheduling is often difficult, substitutions will be allowed with permission of both ENE and the Theater Department. Note 2: Students may use one THTR 597, 3 credit course as an engineering course (including as an engineering design selective) with prior agreement from the Director of the MDE program, but it is not double-counted for graduation. This course will not be accepted as the major design experience course in the engineering core.

Area Electives: Strongly consider earning a minor in Theatre Design and Technology, which requires THTR 368 in the area (and THTR 201 as a general education elective). Students who did not take a CGT course in the first year program must take a CAD course as an area elective – THTR 554 is highly recommended. Also consider ENGL 421, COM 325, MA 303 (if take MA 262), MGMT 200, MGMT 201, OBHR 300, course on entrepreneurship, additional engineering courses, and other courses to meet educational objectives. 0-9 Typical total in area 11-18
