Ill. Admin. Code tit. 68, § 1480.120 - Definition of a Non-Approved Program
a) A Degree with curriculum of at least four
academic years, leading to the conferral of:
1) A baccalaureate degree accredited by the
Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (ABET); or
2) An architectural degree accredited by the
National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB); or
3) A related science baccalaureate degree
that includes the indicated minimum number of semester hours in at least the
following subjects (courses may be completed prior to, concurrent with, or
subsequent to receiving the baccalaureate degree):
A) Mathematics (beyond trigonometry) - 15
hours.
B) Basic Sciences (Physics
and Chemistry) - 15 hours.
C)
Additional Sciences and/or Engineering Sciences (with a minimum of 9 hours in
structural analysis/design) - 30 hours.
b) In evaluating the acceptability of an
applicant's non-approved degree, the Board shall consider courses taken to
attain a graduate degree in engineering and/or additional course credits in
mathematics, science or engineering as education, when the course work of an
applicant with a baccalaureate degree fails to satisfy the requirements of
subsection (a). Education considered in this manner shall not also be credited
as engineering experience.
c) The
Division, upon the recommendation of the Board, has determined that an
applicant who has gained a baccalaureate degree accredited by the Engineering
Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) of ABET, may apply under this
Section; however, engineering technology courses shall not be accepted toward
meeting the educational requirements for a non-approved program in accordance
with this Section.
d) Mathematics
shall be beyond trigonometry, and include differential and integral calculus,
and differential equations at the baccalaureate level. Mathematics may also
include, but not be limited to, the study of probability, statistics, numerical
analysis, and advanced calculus. Courses in computer usage and/or programming
may not be used to satisfy the mathematics requirement.
e) Basic sciences shall include basic physics
and chemistry, and may also include advanced physics and chemistry.
f) Additional Sciences and/or Engineering
Sciences
1) Additional sciences courses have
their roots in mathematics and basic sciences but carry the knowledge toward
creative application. Such subjects include, but are not limited to, geology,
geography, dendrology, astronomy, biology, and soil mechanics.
2) Engineering sciences courses have their
roots in mathematics and basic sciences but carry knowledge further toward
creative application of engineering principles. Approved engineering courses
include, but are not limited to, structural design, structural analysis,
mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, electrical and electronic circuits,
material science, transport phenomena, engineering economics, and computer
science (other than computer programming skills).
