College of Applied Science and Technology 101 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 prio rtob eg in ning their p ro g ra m. Th e Associate of Pre-Eng in eering deg ree ha sfew er g en era I 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 b u t also a full co mplem ent of g en era I edu catio n cou rses. 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. 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. Admission Requirements Declare your program of study (see Enrollment Services and Information). No special admission or application requirements are needed for this program. However, students entering the Pre-Engineering program are expected to have taken college preparatory mathematics and physical science courses in high school. The standard entry level mathematics course for pre-engineering majors is MATH 1210 - Calculus I. The prerequisite for MATH 1210 is MATH 1080 QL - Pre- calculus, or MATH 1050 QL - College Algebra plus MATH 1060 - Trigonometry, or placement through examination. Students who are not ready to take MATH 1210 upon entering the Pre-Engineering program should consult with the Pre- Engineering coordinator, who will recommend remedial courses that will prepare the student for calculus, physics and engineering courses.

With the assistance of the Pre-Engineering coordinator, students should take courses that apply to their particular engineering major at the university to which they plan to transfer. The specialty courses listed below apply generally, but do not constitute a list of specific course requirements for any particular receiving university. Engineering specialty course requirements for the University of Utah and Utah State University may be obtained from the Pre-Engineering coordinator or the applicable engineering department at these institutions. • CHEM 1210 PS - Principles of Chemistry I Credits: (5) • CHEM 1220 - Principles of Chemistry II Credits: (5) • CHEM 2310 - Organic Chemistry I Credits: (4) • CHEM 2320 - Organic Chemistry II Credits: (4) • CHEM 3070 - Biochemistry I Credits: (4) • CS 1023 - Selected Programming Language Credits: (4) • CS 1030 - Foundations of Computer Science Credits: (4) • CS 1400 - Fundamentals of Programming Credits: (4) • CS 1410 - Object-Oriented Programming Credits: (4) • DET 1060 - Fundamentals of Mechanical Drafting Using 3D CAD Credits: (3) • ENGR 2010 - Statics Credits: (3) • ENGR 2080 - Dynamics Credits: (4) • ENGR 2140 - Strength of Materials Credits: (3) • ENGR 2160 - Materials Science and Engineering Credits: (3) • ENGR 2210 - Electrical Engineering for Non-majors Credits: (4) • ENGR 2300 - Thermodynamics I Credits: (3) Weber State University 2013-2014 Catalog
