Show Technology Pro-Engineering ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY CORE PROGRAM Engineering Technology Programs prepare individuals for occupations working with both engineers and craftsmen, designers and producers. Engineering Technologists are essentially "hands on" .engineers. They apply established engineering principles and rules and direct production of machines, structures, and products which engineers have designed. This "hands on" approach is in contrast to the Engineer (who may also begin his training in the Pre-Engineering program with the School of Technology) 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. Students receiving a bachelor of science degree in any of the Engineering Technology majors must satisfy the following minimum core requirements: 1. Math: 20 credit hours 2. Physics: 12 credit hours 3. Electronics: 8 credit hours 4. Computer Programming: 3 credit hours 5. Chemistry: 5 credit hours 6. Technical Writing: 3 credit hours 7. Drafting: 5 credit hours including at least one class in descriptive geometry 8. Mechanics: 5 credit hours 9. Industrial Engineering Technology 332: 5 credit hours The example programs for each major include all classes necessary to fill the core requirements. PRE-ENGINEERING PROGRAM Newel B. Cutler, Coordinator The Pre-Engineering Program offers the first two years of the professional engineering curricula for chemical, civil, electrical, mechanical, aeronautical, mining, metallurgical, and geological engineering. These two-year curricula are designed to prepare the engineering student to transfer to the junior year of engineering at the senior colleges of engineering in (he State of Utah and also to many other professional engineering colleges and universities. Scheduling of CoursesIn planning his program it is important for a student to be aware of certain prerequisites to, and scheduling of, key courses. If the student becomes irregular in his program, he should consult his adviser, since improper scheduling of courses can cause some delay in his graduation. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION 140.

Tormey, Adviser Although Weber State College does not offer a baccalaureate degree in architecture, it does offer two or three year programs of study in pre-architecture as a prelude to a one-year transitional period (4th year) and two years of graduate study at the University of Utah toward the degree of Master of Architecture. At the end of the fourth year, each student is expected to earn a baccalaureate degree in a major area of his choice other than in architecture either at Weber State College or the University of Utah. Briefly defined, architecture is the art and science of building which must provide appropriate accommodation for human activities. The professional practice of architecture requires the unique combination of creative ability, technical knowledge, human understanding, and administrative skill. Accordingly, the pre-architecture program offers the student a liberal education in preparation for active participation as a member of society, the community, and the profession of architecture. The two-year sample program shown at the end of this section satisfies the requirements of the University of Utah, whereupon the student may elect to transfer or continue with a third year at Weber State College. Any student contemplating a career in architecture should arrange a personal interview with David Tormey in Engineering Graphics before continuing with registration at Weber State College. Applicants must satisfy the admission requirements of Weber State College, and as mathematics courses are an essential part of the curriculum, commence their mathematic courses at the placement recommended by the Department of Mathematics in this catalog.
