College of Engineering
Admission Requirements

Requirements for admission to the University are described in the front of the Catalog. High school students applying to the College of Engineering should have completed trigonometry, physics, and chemistry. The college also uses aptitude tests and high school records in its screening procedure.

Transfer students must have completed ENG 100, MATH 205 and 206/ 206L, PHYS 170/170L, and CHEM 161/ 161L and 162 or their equivalents and have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.

College Requirements

Course work in each curriculum consists of a set of required courses common to all engineering majors and additional courses to satisfy departmental requirements. The courses required of all engineering students, which also satisfies the General Education Core requirements of the University, consist of the following:

Communications

ENG 100 Expository Writing (3)

Humanities

SP 251 Principles of Effective Public Speaking (3)
Two electives (3/3)

Social Sciences

ECON 120 Introduction to Economics or ECON
130 Principles of Economics (3)
Two electives (3/3)

World Civilizations

HIST 151 World Civilizations I (3)
HIST 152 World Civilizations II (3)

Quantitative and Logical Reasoning

MATH 205 Calculus I (4)
MATH 206 Calculus II (3)
MATH 206L Calculus Computer Lab (1)
MATH 231 Calculus III (3)
MATH 232 Calculus IV (3)

Natural Sciences

CHEM 161/161L, and 162 General Chemistry/Lab (3/1/3)
PHYS 170/170L General Physics I/Lab (4/1)
PHYS 272/272L General Physics II/Lab (3/1)

BS Degree Requirements

The undergraduate curricula are designed to be completed in eight semesters, but many engineering students take additional semesters or enroll in summer school to complete degree requirements.

To receive a bachelor of science degree in engineering, a student must adhere to the following:

1. Complete the course work for one of the engineering curricula, which also satisfies all University requirements;

2. Maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 for all registered credit hours; and

3. Maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 for all upper division courses (numbered 300-499) in mathematics, science, and engineering.

Major Requirements

See appropriate departments for specific major requirements leading to a bachelor’s degree.

Other Requirements

Undergraduate engineering students are subject to the policies of academic probation, suspension, and dismissal of the University of Hawai’i at Manoa as specified in the Catalog. In addition, engineering students with either a cumulative GPA of less than 2.0 or an upper division GPA of less than 2.0 may be placed on academic probation. The student must raise his or her cumulative and upper division (if applicable) GPAs to
2.0 or higher by the end of the probationary semester. Grades of I or W are not permitted during the probationary semester. Failure to meet any of the above conditions may result in suspension or dismissal. Engineering undergraduates may also be suspended when they fail to achieve a cumulative GPA of at least 1.7 after attempting 24 credit hours.

Students who are suspended must reapply for admission to the Office of Admissions and Records within specified deadlines. Students who do not take courses after being suspended for the required one semester are eligible to be readmitted to the College of the Engineering. Suspended students who attend another institution (including other University of Hawai‘i system campuses) will be considered “transfer” students when reapplying to the University and must meet the transfer requirements of the College of the Engineering.

Graduate Programs

See appropriate department for specific description and requirements.

Certificate Programs

Construction Engineering and Management Graduate Certificate

A candidate for admission must have a bachelor’s degree in engineering, architecture, or business administration. A GPA of 3.0 is required for regular admission. The certificate program requires 15 credit hours, of which 9 credit hours must be taken from core graduate construction engineering offerings. The other 6 credits can be taken from senior-level construction courses and a wide array of related courses from civil engineering or other departments. 

CE 375 Construction Materials and CE 472 Construction Management or equivalents are mandatory requirements beyond the 15-credit-hour standard. Applicable credits earned in the certificate program may be transferred--upon approval of the graduate chair--to a master’s degree in civil engineering provided other requirements for graduate admission are fulfilled.

Renewable Energy Engineering Graduate Certificate

The certificate program is designed for those students pursuing advanced degrees in a traditional discipline who also seek to develop interdisciplinary competence in renewable energy engineering. Students completing the certificate requirements will gain a rigorous understanding of the energy sciences, accompanied by an appreciation of the complex economic and societal issues that surround the coming transition to an energy economy based on renewable resources.
