Course Substitutions
The substitution of course(s) from the printed major program is discouraged. When extenuating circumstances warrant consideration, the student should meet with his/her adviser, and the final decision must have the approval of the department chair. Consideration should be given to the source of the problem (school, student, etc.), severity of the hardship case, and what the department considers best for the individual.
If a course substitution is allowed, ABET guidelines must be followed.
Maximum Summer Course Load and Credits
The maximum number of classes, excluding physical activity courses, that an engineering or computer science student may register for during any period of the summer program is three (3). The total academic units accumulated through any combination of the three summer sessions shall not exceed 20 units. Additional units must be petitioned through the School of Engineering and Computer Science Academic Standards Committee and if approved, the student will be charged at the summer school overload tuition rate for all credits over 14 units.
Fundamental Skills Requirement
Students are required to satisfy all the University Fundamental Skills Requirements (i.e., Writing, Mathematics, and Reading) prior to enrolling in any upper-division engineering or computer science courses.
Graduation Requirements (Engineering Majors)
It is important that each student carefully monitor his or her academic program. Each student is expected to consult regularly with his or her faculty adviser. Meeting the graduation requirements is each student’s responsibility. If a student should deviate from the printed curriculum, careful academic scheduling will be required and a plan must be developed indicating all courses needed for graduation, and when the classes will be taken. After the plan of classes is completed, the schedule must be approved by the student’s faculty adviser and the Director of Cooperative Education.

Minor in Technology
(For Non-Engineering Students Only)
Engineering and technology are integral parts of many careers and fields of study. As “technology” has become so prevalent in our lives and careers, more and more companies are demanding that their employees have a working knowledge in such areas as design, graphics, communications, hardware and software advances, etc. Consequently, college students majoring in non-technical disciplines would be well advised to consider taking advantage of technology-related courses to bolster their skills, knowledge, and awareness in any of these areas. In order to provide a structure and formal recognition towards this end, the School of Engineering and Computer Science offers a Minor in Technology.
The Technology Minor provides an introduction to various aspects of engineering and technology which will strengthen a student’s employment qualifications. The University offers a number of engineering and technology-related courses which are basic enough in their content that non-engineering students can enjoy enrollment without intimidation.
Phrases like “The Age of Technology” and “Information Era” reflect the demand for professionals with more knowledge about engineering and technology. The student who takes advantage of this structured approach to additional studies will likely enjoy much greater job and salary recognition upon college graduation.
Minor in Technology Requirements
In order to earn a minor in technology, students must complete a minimum of 20 units and 5 courses with a Pacific minor grade point average of 2.0.
1) Students must not be majoring in engineering. 2) Students must complete a program approved by the minor adviser consisting of a minimum of twenty units with a minimum of five courses from the list of approved courses. A minimum of twelve units at Pacific. 3) Courses towards a minor cannot be taken on a “pass/no credit” basis. . 4) Students must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 in a minor program.
Course requirements include:
A minimum of three courses from the School of Engineering & Computer Science (i.e., CIVL, ECPE, EMGT, ENGR, or MECH department prefixes), adding up to a minimum of eight units. (It is strongly recommended that students take ENGR 10 as one of these three classes. This course is intended for the freshman year.)
At least one, and no more than two of the “Computing Classes” (COMP).
Technology Minor Application: To complete a minor, a student should submit a minor worksheet proposal to the adviser. The Registrar must receive an approved copy of the worksheet before a notation of completion of a minor can be placed on the student’s transcript.
