Acceptance into the Major in Technological Systems
Freshman and transfer applicants who have specified their interest in technological systems management may be accepted directly into the major upon admission to the University. Applicants admitted to the University but not immediately accepted into the technological systems management major may apply for acceptance at any time during the academic year by contacting the director or advisor of the undergraduate program. Students in good academic standing may apply in any semester but priority for admission to the major is given to those students who have: 1) completed AMS 161 and the second course in a natural science sequence, or their equivalents; 2) earned a grade point average of 2.5 in these courses; 3) received completed course evaluations for all transferred courses that are to be used to meet requirements of the major.

Requirements for the Major in Technological Systems Management (TSM)

Students must complete a specialization in any one of the following: natural science, engineering and applied science, or environmental studies. (For those students who have a major in one of those areas and who pursue technological systems management as a second major, the first major will serve as the specialization.)

Completion of the major requires approximately 79 credits.

1. Mathematics

AMS 151 Applied Calculus I
AMS 161 Applied Calculus II OR the following alternate calculus course sequences may be substituted    
MAT 125, MAT 126, MAT 127 OR
MAT 131, MAT 132 or MAT 171OR
MAT 141, MAT 142 or MAT 171

2. Natural Sciences

One of the following sequences:

a. PHY131 and PHY 132, 134 Classical Physics I, II and labs
 Note:  The following alternate physics course sequences may be substituted  
        PHY 131-133 and 132-134.
        PHY 121-123, and 122-124
        PHY 125, 126, 127
or PHY 141,142

b. BIO 150 the Living World, and BIO 201, Fundamentals
                 of Biology: Organisms  to Ecosystems

c. CHE 131,132,133 General Chemistry I, II and labOR
CHE 141,142,143 General Chemistry I, II Honors and lab

d. GEO 102,112 the Earth/Physical Geology Lab and
GEO309 Structural Geology

e. BIO 201 Principles of Biology: Organisms to Ecosystems
        and one of the following:
GEO 101   Environmental Geology
MAR 104  Oceanography
ATM 102  Weather and Climate
ENS 101    Prospects for Planet Earth

3. Study in Related Areas - Specialization

A cluster of seven related courses, totaling at least 21 credits, in one area of natural science, engineering, applied science, or environmental studies from a single department or program. At least three courses, totaling at least nine credits, must be at the 300 or 400 level.

4. Technological Systems Management

a. Required courses (11)

EST 192  Introduction to Modern Engineering (not required if specialization is in ENG)
EST 194  Patterns of Problem Solving (not required if specialization is in ENG)
EST 202 Intro to Science, Technology and Society Studies
EST 305  Applications Software for Information Management
EST 326  Management for Engineers
EST 327  Marketing for Engineers
EST 391  Technology Assessment
EST 392  Engineering and Managerial Economics
EST 393  Project Management
EST 440  Interdisciplinary Research Methods
EST 441  Interdisciplinary Senior Project

(If 192 & 194 are waived then you must take 304 & 320)

b. Electives
Three from the following list:

EST 213  Studies of Nanotechnology (Fall)
EST 291  Energy, Environment & People (Spring)
EST 304  Communication for Engineers and Scientists (Fall)
EST 310 Design of Computer Games (Fall)
EST 320  Communication Technology Systems (Online, fall & spring)
EST 323 Human-Computer Interaction (Spring)
EST 331  Professional Ethics and Intellectual Property (Fall)
EST 341 Treatment Technologies (Fall)

Other 300/400 level courses in the area of specialization are allowed upon the approval of the TSM advisor.

Matrix for all the required courses:

	FALL	SPRING
Freshman	192	194
Sophomore	202	305, 392
Junior	326, 391	327, 393
Senior	440	441

5. Upper-division Writing Requirement
All degree candidates must demonstrate skill in written English at a level acceptable for technological systems management majors. To satisfy this requirement, a TSM major must submit a paper written for an upper-division EST course for review. Students whose writing does not meet the required standard are referred for remedial help. The requirement may also be met by earning a grade of C or higher in a writing-intensive course approved by the department or, if the student has a double major, by satisfying the upper-division writing requirement in the other major.

Grading
All courses taken to satisfy requirements 1 through 4 above must be taken for a letter grade. A grade of C or higher is required in all.

Request Official Transcript

Effective August 5th, 2005 current and former students will be able to order and track official transcript requests online via the SOLAR System. As before, there will be a $5.00 per transcript processing fee. For Express Service, overnight delivery or same day service,
the fee is $20.00 per transcript. Same day service is still available in person only. Fees can be paid with either AMEX, MC, Visa or Discover. Payments by check and money order must be made by mail. Cash is in-person only.

To order you login in to SOLAR at http://www.stonybrook.edu/solarsystem and go to "Request Official Transcript" under Academic Records. (If you were a student prior to
2001 and do not know your new Stony Brook ID click on "Find Stony Brook ID". ) Follow the directions on the site. There will be three processing options:

To have your request processed normally select "Immediate Processing". Transcript processing may take 5-7 business days. If you need to have your transcript held for your degree select "Degree Confer Date" and appropriate term. If you need to have your transcript held until semester grades are posted select "Grade Posting" and the appropriate term .
