Pre-Engineering Program

 

 

Engineering programs require students to complete fundamental courses in calculus, differential equations, chemistry, physics, computer science, and engineering science during their first several years of college.  The Pre-Engineering program at Winthrop provides an opportunity to take these courses in a setting characterized by small classes, individual faculty attention, and access to modern instrumentation.  A science or math degree also provides a solid academic foundation that is ideal preparation for professional development in engineering.

______________________________________________________________________________

1.                     Biological engineering (4cr hrs) and chemical engineering (7cr hrs) Only, 

2.                     Electrical and computer engineering requires advanced calculus (e.g. vector calculus-MATH 503) instead of statistics (QMTH 205)

3.                     Some majors do not require both of these advanced communications courses, but they are recommended for the dual-degree programs.

                        Consult the Clemson Catalog or Website (http://www.clemson.edu/ for guidance.

4.                     The Clemson Engineering Policy on Humanistic-Social Science Electives should be consulted for details on acceptable courses and depth requirements. Biological Engineering requires at least one economics course (e.g. ECON 215).

A course in a technical programming language such as C++ (CSCI 207) may be substituted for an engineering problem solving course such as ENGR 120. A science lab such as PHYS 211L or PHYS 212L may be substituted for ENGR 101.

 

 

 

Engineering Courses Recommended to be taken Before Transfer to Clemson.

(Possibly during summer sessions at Clemson.)
