Pre-Engineering
 In
order to meet the nation’s need for competent
engineers with a broad background in the liberal
arts, Adrian College has established cooperative
3-2 dual-degree programs with Washington University
(St. Louis) and the University of Detroit. Under
these programs agreement, the student spends
three years at Adrian College for basic studies
in the sciences, mathematics, humanities and
social sciences, followed by two years at one
of the two universities for specialized studies
in engineering. Upon completion of the five-year
program, the student is awarded a
B.A. or B.S. degree from Adrian College and
a B.S. in engineering from the university. Students
interested in the 3-2 program should contact
the program liaison at either the University
of Detroit or Washington University as soon
as possible to receive advice regarding preparation
for engineering specialties.
Adrian College students may
instead choose to complete a dual-degree program
with one of the other leading engineering schools
in the Midwest. However, these programs often
require
more than two years of study at the engineering
school and, therefore, are not formalized as
3-2 programs. These engineering schools include
the University of Michigan, Michigan State
University, Michigan Technological University
and Ohio State University, among others.
It is also possible to complete
the basic pre-engineering curriculum in two
years, enabling students to transfer into the
third year of the program at an engineering
school. These students earn a B.S. degree in
engineering, but no degree from Adrian College.
Students should consult the pre-engineering
advisor in planning this program.
All pre-engineering students will complete the
following courses: Mathematics
135, 205,
215
and 305;
Physics
205, 206,
209
and 210;
Chemistry
103 and 104;
English
101; and a writing intensive course.
Mathematics
303 is also recommended. Students
planning to transfer after two years should
complete 12-16 semester hours in humanities
and social science electives. In addition, students
are encouraged to complete coursework in the
humanities and social sciences.
