General Education Requirement Information for Management-Engineering Majors

General Education Requirement in Science

Every CMC student must complete one (1) laboratory science course offered by the Keck Science Department or elsewhere within the Claremont Consortium. This requirement must by satisfied by the end of the 2^nd year at CMC.

General Education Requirement in the Social Sciences and the Humanities

For students with science majors, general education requirements in the social sciences and humanities must be met by courses outside of a student’s major field(s). ME majors must take courses in 3 of the 4 fields in the social sciences, including ECON 050 CM - Principles of Economic Analysis , a psychology course, and either GOVT 020 CM - Introduction to American Politics or a history course approved for the general education requirement. Majors also must take courses in 2 of the 4 fields of the humanities (literature, philosophy, religious studies, and literature in a foreign language).

Student Learning Outcomes of the Program in Management-Engineering

Develop a framework for understanding the system by identifying the key physical principles underlying the system.
Translate the conceptual framework into an appropriate mathematical format.
a. If the equations are analytically tractable, carry out the analysis of the problem to completion;
b. If equations are not tractable, develop a computer code and/or use standard software to numerically simulate the model system.
Analyze and assess the reasonableness of the answers obtained.
Communicate their findings either verbally and/or via written expression.

In a laboratory setting, students should be able to:

Demonstrate a working familiarity with standard laboratory equipment.
Identify and appropriately address the sources of error in their experiment.
Have proficiency with standard methods of data analysis.
