Out of Class Experiences
Out of Class Experiences (OCE's) are designed to help students gain a better picture of the variety of careers available in each engineering discipline. OCE's represent 5% of the final grade in all Freshman Engineering courses. No one can be exempt from the OCE requirement.
Completing the OCE Requirement
There are two different types of OCE's:
- Department Visitation (DV) - Freshman Engineering sponsored visitations of the different engineering majors.
- General Out of Class Experience - Any engineering related activity that takes place outside of class (not including projects or activities that are already part of your grade).
While the Freshman Engineering Program will annouce DV's and other general OCE's, it is recommended that students actively seek out engineering programs and events on their own.
OCE Course Requirements
OCE requirements vary in the different freshman enegineering courses.
ENGR 100, 101, 102, and 199 (or any combination)
- 2 Department Visitations
- 3 General Out of Class Experiences* (1 of these can be an extra DV)
ENGR 102
- 1 Department Visitation
- 4 General Out of Class Experiences (2 of these can be extra DV's)
*During the Fall semester, 1 of the General OCE's must be the Freshman EngineerFEST.
OCE Credit
Attendance is tracked for Out of Class Experiences by the Freshman Engineering Office. You can check your Study Lab Attendance anytime online. It is the responsibility of the student to periodically check the attendance record to ensure accuracy.
