  <paragraph num="A.">
    <text>An engineering curriculum is a course of study which imparts knowledge of the mathematical and natural sciences and trains an individual to apply that knowledge to developing ways to use the materials and forces of nature for the benefit of mankind. 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:</text>
    <paragraph num="(1)">
      <text>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;</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(2)">
      <text>15 semester-hours of instruction in basic sciences including general chemistry and general physics with calculus;</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(3)">
      <text>30 semester-hours of instruction in engineering subjects, that includes a course, project, or thesis that focuses upon engineering design; and</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(4)">
      <text>15 semester-hours of instruction in advanced mathematics, basic science, or engineering.</text>
    </paragraph>

  <paragraph num="B.">
    <text>Incorporated in the engineering curriculum as integral elements of instruction shall be:</text>
    <paragraph num="(1)">
      <text>Hands-on, quantitative laboratory work correlated with the science and design instruction;</text>
    </paragraph>
    <paragraph num="(2)">
      <text>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</text>
