Utah Valley State College 2008-2009 Course Catalog - (Page 217) Pre-Engineering Science Pre-Engineering Science department of computer Science and pre-Engineering department chair: Abraham teng Office: CS 520J Telephone: 801-863-6201 Administrative Support Heddy Howerton Office: CS 520h Telephone: 801-863-8218 education courses, an Associate of Science Degree with a pre-engineering pre-major may be obtained. This option normally takes longer, unless the student has advanced placement or concurrent enrollment from high school; however, it has the added benefit of possible waiving of general education requirements at the student’s follow-on school. Pre-engineering programs will vary markedly from student to student depending on several factors including: high school preparation, engineering discipline of interest, and the intended four-year transfer school. The pre-engineering advisor will consider these factors when designing a program to fit the needs of each individual student. It is therefore important that pre-engineering students consult with the pre-engineering advisor concerning classes appropriate for their educational experience at UVU. Call 801-8638648 for a personal appointment. The normal entry-level mathematics class for pre-engineering students is Calculus I (MATH 1210). Prerequisites for Calculus I are College Algebra (MATH 1050) and Trigonometry (MATH 1060) or placement through the ACT and/or UVU New Student Assessment test. Remedial course work is available for students with inadequate high school preparation and achievement. Inadequately prepared students should see a preengineering advisor for recommended remedial courses which must be completed in addition to the normal pre-engineering requirements. Graduation Requirements: 1 Completion of 69 or more credit hours. 2 Overall grade point average of 2.0 (C) or above, with no core course below a C-. 3 Residency hours: minimum of 20 credit hours through course attendance at UVU. 4 Completion of GE and specified departmental requirements.

Career options exist in many engineering fields including: Aerospace, Biological, Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Irrigation, Manufacturing, Materials, Mechanical and Systems. The pre-engineering program at UVU has been created for students who plan to complete the first two to three years of their engineering education at UVU and then transfer to a baccalaureate university to complete their engineering degree. With adequate planning, pre-engineering coursework completed at UVU will transfer to all of the Utah universities with baccalaureate engineering degrees. All students who declare pre-engineering as their major are automatically accepted into preengineering status. After completion of the preengineering program at UVU, the student applies for professional status at an institution of the student’s choice. Students can choose from two degree plans. The Associate of Pre-Engineering degree is comprised of those math, science, and engineering courses normally taken by first and second year students in a four-year program, along with a small number of general education courses.
