What is the nature of an engineering program?
The student first strengthens his/her preparation by studying more mathematics (including calculus), chemistry and physics, and by learning to use modern computer facilities. The student will need approximately one year of communications, humanities, and the social sciences. Most of these studies can be completed in the first two years in either an engineering college or transfer program of a community or liberal arts college. The last two years prepare the student for a degree program in a chosen area, such as agricultural, aerospace, civil, chemical, computer, electrical, environmental, fire, industrial, manufacturing, mechanical, mining, nuclear, petroleum or structural engineering. These courses put the student’s knowledge of mathematics, engineering sciences and computer aids to use. He/she learns how to approach a problem, to analyze all relevant factors, and then to synthesize the information in designing a solution. This preparation equips the student to attack future problems
