The academic major for the first two years of engineering is similar for all branches of the discipline. It is designed for students ready to enroll in any engineering major--civil, ME, EE, metallurgical, aeronautical, or others. Consequently, this major provides a foundation for all phases of engineering as well as for physics and prepares students to continue their education at a four-year institution or to enter industry as paraprofessional employees.

Graduates of this program are able to

• Demonstrate understanding of basic science (biology, chemistry, physics);
• Communicate effectively in both oral and written forms;
• Compute with proficiency and confidence, in both symbolic & numerical modes; and
• Apply Science, Math, and Environmental responsibility to the solution of Engineering Problems.

Prospective students with inadequate academic preparation should be aware that they may need additional time to acquire the necessary academic background. Prerequisites and corequisites for the required courses must be strictly followed.
