Pre-Engineering Specialization

Successful engineering students must be simultaneously creative and practical. They can combine the principles learned in science and mathematics with the methods and techniques of engineering to develop theory, models, and applications. The Pre-Engineering specialization is meant to develop a foundation preparing the student for further study and a career in engineering.
