Technology Technology Department of Pre-Engineering W. Lee Dickson, Chairman Associate Professors, G. M. Alexander, Newel B. Cutler, W. Lee Dickson; Instructor, David M. Tormey. The Pre-Engineering Program offers the first two years of the professional engineering curricula for civil, electrical, mechanical, aeronautical, mining, metallurgical, and geological engi- eering. These two-year curricula are designed to prepare the engineering student for transfer to the junior year of engineering at the senior colleges of engineering in the State of Utah and also to many other professional engineering colleges and universities. Entrance Requirements—To follow the prescribed Pre- Engineering Program, the student must have satisfactorily met the following requirements: 1. Meet Weber State College entrance requirements. 2. Have satisfactorily completed: a. Plane geometry b. First and second courses in algebra c. Three units of English d. Successfully pass a trigonometry proficiency exam or complete a class in college trigonometry with a grade of "C" or better. Students desiring entrance as majors in the professional engineering curriculum must file application with the College. Students will be notified of their acceptance to Weber State College and will be assigned to a departmental advisor. Academic Standards—Same as for college in general. Scheduling of Courses—In 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, the scheduling of courses can cause some delay in his graduation. The following facts are important in scheduling an irregular program. 1. Mathematics 52, 53 and 54 are prerequisite or parallel to Physics 61, 62, 63. 2. The series of physics courses 61, 62 and 63 begins only in the autumn quarter. 3. Some physics and calculus are prerequisite to the engineering courses 150, 151 and 152. See the course descriptions for details. 4. Physics 63 and Mathematics 121 are prerequisite courses to all junior and senior engineering courses. Mathematics 51 should be taken during the freshman year so that Physics 61 can be scheduled during the autumn quarter of the sophomore year. It is important that a mathematics course be taken every quarter of the freshman and sophomore years. In many cases a student will find it advantageous to take a mathematics course during the summer between freshman and sophomore years in order to begin the physics series in the following autumn quarter. Area Requirements—Area requirements for engineers differ significantly from those for other fields of study. Engineering students should consult the catalog of the school to which they plan to transfer, and also their advisor, concerning area requirements. Courses of Instruction 1.
