Prerequisite: MFET 3320. DGET 4600, 4610. Senior Project (2-2) F, Sp A Capstone project spanning two consecutive semesters. The project includes application of skills, knowledge, techniques and concepts to the design and manufacturing project. Emphasis placed on integrated project management including preparation of drawings, creation of presentations, project organization and control, and documentation. Prerequisite: Senior standing and approval of the department. A student must apply for senior project one semester before the start of the senior project. DGET 4600 Co-requisite: MFET 4610. DGET 4830. Directed Readings (1-3) 5m, F, Sp Directed readings in Design Graphics Engineering Technology including mechanical and architectural areas. Must have department approval. DGET 4890. Cooperative Work Experience (1-3) 5m, F, Sp Open to all advanced students in Design Graphics Engineering Technology. Department approval required before registration. Provides academic credit for on-the-job experience. Grade and amount of credit will be determined by the department. Pre-engineering Coordinator Dr. Kirk D. Hagen Location: ET 214 Telephone: 801-626-6998 Email: engr@weber.edu Engineering is a broad field consisting of a variety of disciplines including aerospace, biological, biomedical, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, manufacturing, mechanical, nuclear and petroleum engineering. Exciting and rewarding careers await graduates with four-year degrees in these engineering fields. The Associate of Pre-Engineering (APE) degree at Weber State University offers the first two years of a professional engineering curriculum. The degree is designed to prepare students for transfer into an engineering program at other universities in Utah, or throughout the United States, that offer four-year engineering degrees. Because the majority of pre-engineering graduates will transfer to the University of Utah or Utah State University, the WSU Pre-Engineering program has official transfer agreements with these two schools. In planning a program of study, students should be aware that most pre-engineering courses have mathematics and science prerequisites and that improper scheduling of courses can lengthen the time required to complete the degree. Students should also be aware that requirements may vary according to the university to which the student wishes to transfer. Students are therefore strongly encouraged to meet with the Pre-Engineering coordinator prior to beginning their program. The Associate of Pre-Engineering degree has fewer general education credit hours than the Associate of Science (AS) degree. Therefore, in order for a student to obtain a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in engineering, he or she will have to take additional general education courses at WSU and/or the receiving university. Alternatively, a student may earn the AS degree, but this degree may take longer than the APE degree because it contains not only pre- engineering courses but also a full complement of general education courses. The AS degree has the potential benefit, however, of satisfying all the general education requirements at either the University of Utah or Utah State University. PRE-ENGINEERING ASSOCIATE OF PRE-ENGINEERING DEGREE (APE) » Grade Requirements: A minimum overall GPA of 2.00 is required. » Credit Hour Requirements: A minimum of 60 credit hours is required. A minimum of 20 hours in residence (for transfer students). Advisement All Pre-Engineering students are strongly encouraged to meet with the Pre-Engineering coordinator at the beginning of the program and at least once annually for course and program advisement. Pre- Engineering students are also encouraged to obtain advisement from the applicable engineering department at the receiving university Weber State University 2011 -2012 Catalog
