• Pre-Engineering Telecommunications & Business Education • General Information ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS Engineering technology programs prepare individuals for occupations working as technologists, engineering assistants, craftsmen, and designers. Engineering technology requires the application of scientific and engineering knowledge and methods combined with technical skills to support engineering activities. This "hands on" approach is in contrast to the engineer who concentrates on design and on development of new engineering principles and procedures; and who requires, therefore, more extensive training in mathematics and science than does the engineering technologist. The engineering technology programs at Weber State University accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) are: • Electronic Technology (A.A.S.) • Electronic Engineering Technology (B.S.) • Manufacturing Engineering Technology (B.S.) • Mechanical Engineering Technology (B.S.) CENTER FOR AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY Director: Kermit Riester (acting) Location: ET 236 Telephone: 626-7272 The Center for Aerospace Technology (CAST) was established in 1986 to develop satellite projects for enhancing the education of students. These "real world" projects provide students with exciting and challenging experiences that prepare them for better jobs after graduation. Weber State is known internationally for its pioneering work in small satellites. As a result of working on satellite projects, Weber State University graduates have more opportunities for rewarding and satisfying careers. Building and operating earth orbiting satellites and flying experiments on high altitude rockets are some of the projects that students in the College of Applied Science and Technology at Weber State University can participate in while earning associate of science and bachelor of science degrees in the engineering technologies or computer science. TECHNOLOGY ASSISTANCE CENTER Director: Stephen Reed Location: ET 110 Telephone: 626-6309 The Technology Assistance Center was established in 1991 to provide technical assistance for regional business and industry. The goal of the Center is to furnish technical and managerial support to stimulate manufacturing development and diversification. The Center also works closely with economic development and assistance organizations within the state. The Technology Assistance Center responds to businesses, local governments, and economic development groups by acting as an information clearing house, conducting data base searches, providing technical assistance in product or process development or testing, and demonstrating new or emerging technologies. This assistance, which is provided by faculty and students, includes but is not limited to problem solving, decision support for new technology or systems, product or process design assistance, material handling, cost analysis, quality control assistance, team building, and technical training. PRE-ENGINEERING PROGRAM Coordinator: Kirk Hagen Location: ET214 Telephone: 626-6998 The Pre-engineering program at Weber State University offers the first two years of a professional engineering curricula for aeronautical, agricultural, biomedical, chemical, civil, electrical, environmental, geological, industrial, manufacturing, mechanical, metallurgical, nuclear, petroleum and software engineering students. While no formal degree is awarded, the suggested program of study, which may be completed in two years, is designed to prepare the student for transfer into an engineering program at the other universities in Utah or throughout the United States who offer engineering degrees. In planning a program of study, it is important for students to be aware of certain prerequisites to, and scheduling of, key courses. Also, depending upon the field of engineering and the school to which the student wishes to transfer, the specific program may vary. Therefore, it is critical for students to consult with the pre-engineering coordinator as early as possible since improper scheduling of courses could lengthen the time required to complete the program. Program Outline: • Pre-engineering courses required: Prengr 101 (1). • Support courses required: Math 111 (5), 112 (5), 113 (5), 321 (3), 325 (3), 371 (4); Comsci PD102 (4); Chem PS 121 (5); Physics PS 161 (4), 162 (4), 163 (4), PS 164 (1), 165 (1), 166 (1); Engl EN111(4). • In addition, the following courses may be required depending on the school to which the student wishes to transfer and the desired field of study: Prengr 221 (5), 250 (3), 351 (4), 352 (3); Math 373 (4), 374 (4), 376 (4); Chem 122 (5), 123 (5); Comsci 120 (4), 140 (4), 160 (4).

DEPARTMENT OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS & BUSINESS EDUCATION (formerly Business Education/ Administrative Systems) Chair: Margaret Bennett Location: Building 2, Room 218 Telephone Contact: Julie Warnick 626-6059 Professors: Margaret O. Bennett, Alden A. Talbot; Associate Professor: Diana J. Green, Donna M. Roberts; Assistant Professors: Lynda H. Money; Instructors: Pat McFerson Description The Department of Telecommunications & Business Education offers an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Office Technologies, a Bachelor's Degree in Telecommunications Administration, and a Bachelor's Degree in Business Education with two emphases: a composite teaching degree or an emphasis in Office Technologies. Minors are offered in Office Technologies and Business/Marketing Education. The program provides majors with a broad overview of business with careers in teaching, information processing and telecommunications supervision, and secretarial areas. The department specializes in computer applications software such as word processing, spreadsheets, database management, desktop publishing, and graphics. Departmental Policies Students for any degree from the Telecommunications & Business Education (TBE) programs are subject to the following policies: 1. To enroll in any intermediate or advanced computer course, the student must have a grade of C or better in the preceding course. 2. TBE credits earned more than ten years earlier than the proposed date of graduation will not be accepted toward major requirements unless validated through a challenge examination or department chair approval. 3. A student in TBE cannot obtain a degree from the department if any required course in the department has been taken for a grade more than three times. Student Services Interdisc.
