An "engineering curriculum of 4 scholastic years or more" is defined to be both an approved and unapproved college or university engineering and sciences curriculum consisting of at least:

(1) 15 semester-hours of instruction in mathematics that emphasizes mathematical concepts and principles rather than computation, which shall include differential calculus, integral calculus, and differential equations;

(2) 15 semester-hours of instruction in basic sciences including general chemistry and general physics with calculus;

(3) 30 semester-hours of instruction in engineering subjects, that includes a course, project, or thesis that focuses upon engineering design; and

(4) 15 semester-hours of instruction in advanced mathematics, basic science, or engineering.

B. Incorporated in the engineering curriculum as integral elements of instruction shall be:

(1) Hands-on, quantitative laboratory work correlated with the science and design instruction;

(2) For graduation subsequent to 1975, at least one high-level computer language such as FORTRAN, PASCAL, C/C++, or MATLAB so that the student is able to compose computer programs to solve problems in science and design; and

(3) Demonstrated familiarity with probability, statistics, and linear algebra.
