MEEN Engineering Honors (EH) Wednesday, Mar. 30, 2016 ENGR 181H, HRBB 124 Aggie Mechanical Engineering Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0shgKKpIxkQ&feature=youtu.be Basic Requirements Finding Honors Courses Maintaining EH Eligibility

Basic Requirements No additional MEEN track requirements currently EH College-level requirements - highlights 18 Hours of Honors credits in Engr. or Science 12 Hours must be Engineering ENGR 181H (1 SCH) MEEN 491H – Research (4 SCH min., 6 max.) Up to 6 hours of Graduate Courses 3.5 GPA

Finding Honors Courses One Scenario ("typical"??) ENGR 111H and 112H = 4 hours ENGR 181H = 1 hour MEEN 491H = 4 hours ENGR 482H = 3 hours Total = 12 hours of Engineering courses (bingo!) Still need 6 hours of other Engineering or Science (Math) Two other 3-SCH courses for Honors?

Finding Honors Courses Stand-alone Honors sections e.g., ENGR 111(201) – 2XX section numbers Not very many in engineering, particularly MEEN (none) "Stacked" Honors sections 3 courses spring 2016; 2 courses fall 2015 Do not do "Honors Contracts" any more You must still ask the Professor to initiate it Contact Professors before registration and/or ASAP after course instructors are posted in Howdy Deadline = 1 week before classes

Finding Honors Courses MEEN 491H You must find a Professor to work with Most profs use ….. 3 SCH = 10 hours/week (approx.) UG students can also work on research as paid hourly MEEN 491H is meant for junior or senior year Form must be completed and submitted to Dr. Jacobs for approval

Maintaining EH Eligibility Meet with "Department Coordinator" once per year At least one "EH Activity" per semester College Level Department Level Check COE EH "Calendar of Activities" (google "tamu engineering honors") Periodic emails about events Maintain 3.5 GPA Submit summary report in May each year ***MEEN Engineering Honors Lunch Event*** 11:35am, Tuesday, April 5, 2016 Room 301 MEOB
