(1) Bachelor of Science, Dual Degree Engineering (DDE) Interdisciplinary Science (Interdiscp Sci): The Scholars will earn a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree from CAU in DDE Interdiscip. Science as well as a B.S. degree in Engineering from the partnering engineering institution (PEI). Advisement regarding course electives during sophomore and junior years will be informed by the DDE Scholar’s engineering area of interest.
With this option, the DDE Scholar must complete the following:
– All CAU core curriculum requirements
– All required CAU pre-engineering courses
– All DDEP engineering requirements at the host Engineering institution
(2) Bachelor of Science, Dual Degree Engineering (DDE) Interdisciplinary Science (Interdiscp Sci) with a concentration: The DDE Scholar will earn a Bachelor of Science degree from CAU in DDE Interdiscip. Sci. with a concentration in Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, or Physics, as well as a Bachelor’s degree from the engineering partner institution.
With this option, the DDE Scholar must complete the following:
– All CAU core curriculum requirements
– All required CAU pre-engineering courses
– All DDEP requirements for the chosen CAU concentration
– All DDEP engineering requirements at the host Engineering institution
The area of concentration will be determined after the DDE Scholar has completed his/her courses at the Partner Engineering Institution.
In addition to the General Degree Requirements, as published in this Catalog, DDE Scholars pursuing the Dual Degree Engineering Program must also complete the following requirements at CAU:
DDE Scholars are strongly encouraged to meet with their advisor at a minimum of one session per semester. To ensure DDE Scholars are adequately informed, attending academic advisement sessions is essential and critical to a timely transition to the partner engineering institution. Upon completion of all requirements at both institutions, the DDE Scholar is simultaneously awarded a Bachelor of Science degree from CAU and a Bachelor of Engineering from a participating engineering institution.
A DDEP Scholar is eligible to graduate when he/she has completed all the required DDEP courses and fulfilled the graduation requirements for both CAU and the host engineering institution.
A DDEP Scholar matriculating at a participating engineering institution must provide to the CAU DDEP Coordinator with a copy of a current transcript at the end of each semester. During the spring semester prior to the year of anticipated graduation, the DDEP Scholar must apply for graduation from CAU and is responsible for arranging for an official transcript to be forwarded from the participating engineering institution to the CAU Office of the University Registrar. Candidates for graduation must complete all requirements of the major and submit an Application for Graduation form to the Office of the University Registrar to participate in the University’s Annual Commencement activities.
