Pre-Engineering Automotive/Mechanical Engineering Tech Information Accreditation The following programs are accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET): • Automotive Engineering Technology (B.S.) • Electronic Technology (A.A.S.) • Electronic Engineering Technology (B.S.) • Manufacturing Engineering Technology (B.S.) ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS Engineering technology programs prepare individuals for occupations working with both engineers and craftsmen, designers, and producers. Engineering technology requires the application of scientific and engineering knowledge and methods combined with technical skills to support engineering activities. 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 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. Accreditation Requirements The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires a minimum of 36 credit hours in the humanities, social sciences and communication. To meet this requirement students choosing to pursue a bachelor of science degree in any of the engineering technology majors must satisfy the Requirements for General Education, and the Specific Requirements (see index). In addition to these requirements, students must satisfy the following ABET requirements: • Communication HU 102 • English 210 • An additional 7 credit hours of General Education courses in Humanities and Social Sciences. Students should check with the department chair for the specific requirements and recommendations for these seven credits. PROGRAM: PRE-ENGINEERING PROGRAM-ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE DEGREE OPTIONAL Coordinator: W. Lee Dickson 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. This two-year program is designed to prepare the engineering student to transfer to the junior year of engineering at the senior college of engineering in the state of Utah and also to many other professional engineering colleges and universities. In planning their program it is important for students to be aware of certain prerequisites to, and scheduling of, key courses. Students should consult their adviser since improper scheduling of courses can cause some delay in their graduation. General Requirements: • Requirements for General Education (see index). • Specific Requirements (see index). The associate degree candidate is exempt from satisfying the state requirement in American History, Government, and Economics. • A grade of C or better is required. Specific Requirements: • Pre-engineering courses required (12 credit hours): Prengr 140 (1), 221 (5), 250 (3), 352 (3). • Support courses required: Math 211 (5), 212 (5), 213 (5), 320 (5), 451 (4), 452 (4), 453 (4), Chem NS121 (5), NS122 (5), 123 (5); Phsx NS261 (4), NS262 (4), NS263 (4), 264 (1), 266 (1); Comsci 260 (4).

Parker Location: Technical Education, Room 201 Telephone Contact: Barbara Voreis 626-6300 Professors: Ross W. Eskelson, Robert P. Parker; Associate Professor: Blaine R. Thornock; Assistant Professor: Carl G. Wood. The department offers the following degrees: • Automotive Engineering Technology - Bachelor of Science • Mechanical Engineering Technology - Bachelor of Science and Associate of Applied Science The programs of study offered by the department are described below. From time to time, changes are made in the programs based on input from the advisory committees, accreditation requirements and consensus of the faculty. Students can avoid problems associated with changes in the program by obtaining a written program outline signed by the department chair which lists the courses required. The department recommends that students initiate a file in the department early in the program, I.E., as soon as the student has the intent to pursue and complete the program. Generally, this is expected to occur during the freshman year. Students who have a signed program outline and proceed to fulfill the requirements of that program outline are generally not subject to subsequent changes in the program made by the department. If a required course is deleted from course offerings, the department will propose and accept an appropriate substitute. The guidelines for students who have not initiated a program outline but have taken courses as per the program description of the Weber State catalog in anticipation of completing the degree requirements are as follows: • The current, approved program is the only basis for a new file. • Courses under an "old" program that were taken before the program change was approved by the Faculty Senate will be accepted as an appropriate substitution for courses in the current program. • Judgments as to appropriate substitutions, as mentioned above, will be made by the department chair.
