Pre-Engineering

SBU, in cooperation with the Missouri University of Science and Technology, has a program in which students attend SBU for the first two years before transferring to Missouri S&T to complete a B.S. degree in one of the following engineering programs: aerospace, architectural, ceramic, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, environmental, geological, interdisciplinary, mechanical, metallurgical, mining, nuclear or petroleum engineering or engineering management.

* Students without a satisfactory background in mathematics should take MAT 1163 PreCalculus before taking MAT 1195.

** These electives differ depending on the particular field of engineering; however, they are usually taken from Bible, Communications, Economics, Fine Arts, History, Philosophy, Psychology/Sociology or Literature. Six semester hours must be in upper division courses to give depth to one or two areas.

# Some engineering curricula no longer require CHE 1125 and/or PHY 3233 at Missouri University of Science and Technology.

NOTE: Since the pre-engineering course of study is a general one at SBU, the pre-engineering student should work closely with the pre-engineering advisor (Dr. Perry A. Tompkins -- Professor of Physics) to facilitate any course modification among specific engineering programs.
