Graduation Requirements
- A minimum technical GPA of 2.00 is required. The technical GPA is calculated from all courses counting in the curriculum with a prefix belonging to the degree program, or substitutions for these courses.
- A grade of "C" or better is required in each course that is a prerequisite to a required course that has an engineering or engineering technology prefix. A grade of 'C' or better is also required in CET 3213, CET 3463, CET 3433, CET 4273, CET 4293, CET 4333 and CET 4533.
- Each student is required to sit for the American Institute of Constructors Level 1 – Associate Constructors Certification Exam or the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam.
Additional State/OSU Requirements
- At least: 60 hours at a four-year institution; 30 hours completed at OSU; 15 of the final 30 and 50% of the upper-division hours in the major field completed at OSU.
- Limit of: one-half of major course requirements as transfer work; one-fourth of hours earned by correspondence; 8 transfer correspondence hours.
- Students will be held responsible for degree requirements in effect at the time of matriculation and any changes that are made, so long as these changes do not result in semester credit hours being added or do not delay graduation.
- Degrees that follow this plan must be completed by the end of Summer 2031.
