	Objectives The objective of the CAAE Engineering Department is to provide an administrative structure that promotes quality education, and cooperation, collaboration and professional growth among the students, faculty and staff of the associated degree programs. General Program Requirements Admission requirements to the undergraduate degree programs in the CAAE Engineering Department are identical to the admission requirements of the College of Engineering. Each program in the Department is individually accredited and graduation requirements are, therefore, defined by the Programs. Progression Requirements Civil, Architectural, Agricultural and Environmental Engineering Department CAAE students are required to pass an FE-style exam at the end of each academic year (i.e. Freshman, Sophomore, and Junior). Those who do not pass are strongly encouraged to enroll in the appropriate CAAE Fundamentals Review course that will be offered each summer. The exam will be given at the end of the course. Students will not be permitted to enroll in additional CAAE courses until they pass the exam. Senior CAAE students (graduating in May) will be required to sit for the FE exam in the Fall, and if they do not pass, again in the Spring. Seniors who pass the FE exam will receive an automatic "A" in CAAE 500.
