WARNING: If you plan to major in Advisors
Physics Advisors
It is strongly recommended that the Pre-Engineering student meet periodically
with their advisor.
Technical Course Requirements
The following core of math and science courses is common to all engineering majors.
| Mathematics | MATH 221, 222, 325 | 12 Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Physics | PHYS 234, 235 | 10 Credits |
| Chemistry | CHEM 210 | 4 Credits |
Beyond these, specific engineering majors require other introductory courses that can be taken at SCSU. Those shown below are required by the engineering schools at the University of Minnesota. If you plan to transfer elsewhere, you should consult the department at that school for their specific requirements.
| Aerospace: | ECE 201; ENGR 241, 341; *CSCI |
|---|---|
| Chemical: | CHEM 211, 270, 271; BIOL 151 or 152 |
| Civil: | ENGR 241; ENGR 334 or 341; EAS 109 or 220; STAT 353; *CSCI |
| Electrical: | ECE 201; PHYS 328; *CSCI |
| Geological: | ENGR 241; EAS 109 or 220; STAT 353 |
| Mechanical: | ENGR 241, 341; *CSCI |
| Agricultural: | ECE 201; ENGR 241, 334, 341; *CSCI; STAT 353 |
| *CSCI means some Computer Science is required but its equivalent is not known. Consult the department. |
General Education Requirements
There is some variation in the general education requirements from one school to another. Generally speaking you will need 30 to 40 credits of course work in the areas of English composition, the humanities, social sciences, etc. To determine what courses could be taken at SCSU that will be accepted for credit at the school you are considering, you should contact the engineering college or department at that school.
