What Topics do the core (ICEE) courses cover?
Our faculty and our industrial advisory board carefully selected the courses and topics in the ECU Engineering core since they represent the essential undergraduate topics for a 21st century engineer. This spectrum of courses also closely reflects the content included by the National Council of Engineering Examiners (www.ncees.org) in the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) General Engineering Exam. The FE exam is the first step to obtaining a Professional Engineer (PE) license. As the table below shows, the ECU Engineering core provides an interdisciplinary mixture of topics which reflect key topics in a number of traditional engineering disciplines such as mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, biological, and industrial engineering. Consequently, we believe this group of courses provides the most critical BS level content for 21st century engineering.
