"description": "<p>The Bachelor of Science in Photonic Science and Engineering degree is designed to prepare the next generation of engineers for the growing optics and photonics industry, which has a broad set of applications including manufacturing, healthcare, telecommunication, defense, security, and entertainment. The program draws on UCF's internationally recognized strengths in the field of optics and lasers and is matched to the strong photonics industry in Central Florida. The degree is offered jointly by the College of Optics and Photonics and the College of Engineering & Computer Science.</p> <h3> </h3> <h3>Degree Requirements</h3> <ul> <li> <p>Majors in the B.S.P.S.E. degree are required to achieve a 2.250 or greater GPA for their engineering core courses, including STA 3032 and PHY 3101, together with the photonics courses required for the major, technical elective courses, and the senior design courses.</p> </li> <li> <p>In addition to courses required for admission to the BSPSE Major, students must also obtain a 2.0 or greater GPA in each of the following courses: EGN 3211 or PHZ 3150, EEL 3004C, EEL 3123C, MAP 2302, PHY 2049C or PHY 2049 and PHY 2049L, OSE 3052, and OSE 3052L .</p> </li> <li> <p>Students are required to complete 36 credits (12 courses) of General Education Program Courses, of which there are 15 credits (5 courses) of State Core Courses, 12 credits (4 courses) of the State Writing Requirement Courses, 6 credits (2 courses) of the State Math Requirement Courses, a Foreign Language Requirement, Civic Literacy Requirement, and Summer Requirement prior to graduation. More information is here.</p> </li> <li> <p>Many classes can overlap so see the BSPSE advisor to create the best academic plan for you.</p> </li> </ul> <br /> <p><strong>COP Progress Policy</strong></p> <ul> <li>Students in the Photonic Science and Engineering major are expected to make consistent good progress toward their degrees to remain enrolled in, or eligible for, any major, minor, or certificate in the College of Engineering & Computer Science (CECS) or the College of Optics and Photonics (COP). To support this, CECS and COP enforce a Progress Policy with two components: the low grade component and the repeat attempt component. <ul> <li>Low Grade Component: Any student majoring in Photonic Science and Engineering who has accumulated 7 or more unsuccessful attempts (i.e., grades below "C" (2.0), U grades, and withdrawals, including in 0-credit courses) over all courses taken at UCF will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation has a tenth unsuccessful attempt over all courses taken at UCF, the student will be Excluded from all CECS and COP majors, minors, and certificates.</li> <li>Repeat Attempt Component: Any student majoring in Photonic Science and Engineering who repeats any UCF course and does not earn a grade of "C" (2.0) or better on the second attempt will be placed on Lack of Progress Probation and remain on Lack of Progress Probation as long as the student is enrolled in a CECS or COP major. If a student on Lack of Progress Probation does not receive a grade of "C" (2.0) or better by the third attempt in the same UCF course, the student will be Excluded from all CECS and COP majors, minors, and certificates.</li> </ul> </li> <li>A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors cannot declare any CECS or COP minors or certificates unless as required by the student’s degree program. A student who has been excluded from CECS and COP majors may seek readmission to a major in CECS or COP after earning a bachelor’s degree or relevant associate of science degree, either from another college at UCF or from another institution. To be eligible for readmission to CECS or COP, the student must not have accumulated any additional low grades in subsequent coursework used to complete the earned degree. An excluded student who meets these criteria is not guaranteed readmission to a CECS or COP major. Any student who is readmitted to the Photonic Science and Engineering major will be subject to all probation conditions that applied at the time of exclusion.</li> <li>Students who are on Lack of Progress Probation will not be approved for a transient request.</li> </ul>",
