Engineering Honors Program a reality?

<p>According to COE website: </p>

<p>1) Completion of at least 50 hrs of coursework
2) Matriculation into a COE dept
3) Total GPA of at least 3.5, unless otherwise designated by the major dept
4) Major GPA of at least 3.5 based on 9 hours in the major or in courses designated by the dept.
5) Faculty may also nominate unusually promising students who do not meet all of these criteria.</p>

<p>How hard is it to get into this program and is anyone in it?</p>

<p>I would think it would be VERY hard to have a 3.5 in engineering .
Are you concerned that the regular engineering program won't be challenging enough? From what I understand, it's pretty tough.</p>

<p>It doesn't seem like this program exists. S visited and asked about it and no one knew anything about it. His main concern was undergrad research and prof told him they encourage this.</p>
