PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The Pre-Engineering Program provides strong math students who are interested in learning about engineering a solid foundation in engineering principles, elements, and applications that they can apply in their daily lives, profit from the workplace, and use to prepare for college study in engineering or related majors.

 Students who successfully complete the Pre-Engineering program will enjoy advantages in college acceptance and advancement through related courses of college study.

 Based on class performance and End of Course (EoC) exam results, successful students have an opportunity to earn transferable college credits.

 PROGRAM STATEMENT

A student attending Pre-Engineering for two years who puts in a reasonable effort and maintains acceptable attendance will learn foundational engineering skills necessary for success in a post-secondary engineering related program.
