Preparation for Engineering

104C Overman Hall, 419-372-7832

The two-year curriculum outlined below closely parallels the introductory coursework of engineering schools and is designed for the student who expects to transfer to a college of engineering at the end of two years. Because the requirements in engineering colleges and in different fields of engineering vary considerably, the student should consult with the preengineering program adviser early in the first year in order to plan a schedule to meet the requirements of the institution and branch of engineering in which he or she expects to receive a degree.

Engineering is presently a high-opportunity career area, and a preengineering program at Bowling Green offers several advantages, especially for those students who are uncertain about an engineering specialty. However, students should be advised that all engineering specialties require a high aptitude for mathematics and quantitative reasoning. In order to complete the curriculum below in two years, a student must be qualified to enroll in MATH 131 during the fall semester of the first year; this normally requires four years of high school mathematics and good mathematics aptitude.
