FredBurke, an MSU engineering alumnus, and his wife Sara, endowed the program in 2002.The focus of the program is to provide both engineering and humanities classes in anenvironment that promotes cultural understanding. Students earn six hours of degree credit fortwo courses: History of Technology and a technical elective, either Computer-Aided Design andManufacturing or Digital Signal Processing. The courses are taught by University of Bristolfaculty; however, a faculty member from Clemson and MSU accompany the students. Eventhough students are accompanied by faculty, the faculty do not teach; therefore, the program is

Cases from aquatic, terrestrial and atmospheric environments arediscussed. The students also get an introduction to some of the major environmental laws. Thisis mostly a survey course with some elements of engineering design in environmental systems.The breadth of the topics can lead to student perception of unrelated items in a textbook. Evenwhen problems are based as real life examples, the students appear to have difficultyunderstanding that the course material is all interrelated and can be applied to complexenvironmental problems.
