This degree is designed for students who do not plan to transfer to the University of Illinois. Students who are planning to transfer to the U of I should see the Engineering Science (AES.ENGR) degree program.
Upon completion of this course sequence, pre-engineering students will receive an associate in science degree. The associate in science degree requires the completion of 64 credit hours. The sample course sequence below includes the required 64 credit hours plus additional courses recommended for this major.
This program follows Math Pathway #4. Math requirements for a specific major may vary from one institution to another. Please consult with an academic counselor or academic advisor to confirm the pathway that is applicable to your major and transfer institution.
General principles of chemistry for students majoring in chemistry, engineering or science professions. Topics include atomic theory, bonding, stoichiometry, gas laws and thermochemistry.
Differential and integral calculus of elementary functions of one variable, such as polynomial, rational, radical, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, exponential and logarithmic functions, will be covered. Applications include rates of change, optimization, curve sketching and area. A graphing calculator is required. Ask instructor for calculator recommendations.
Students will study the writing process by reading essays illustrating a variety of rhetorical strategies, analyzing texts and writing, revising and editing short essays. Course is for students who have assessed into developmental English, receiving supplemental instruction for course completion.
Students develop a writing process by reading and analyzing texts that illustrate various rhetorical strategies as well as writing, revising and editing short essays. Minimally, students must compose four formal, revised writing assignments, having one reach at least 1,250 words.
Focuses on the nature and method of economics, basic supply and demand analysis, national income accounting, business cycles, inflation and unemployment, fiscal policy, money and banking and monetary policy.
A continuation of Calculus I with emphasis on different methods of integration and applications, L`Hôpitals Rule, sequences, series, power series, Taylor series and Maclaurin series. A graphing calculator is required.
This is a study of Newtonian Mechanics. The course is for physics majors and minors, engineering students and the mathematically oriented student. This is the first of a three-course sequence.
Focuses on the fundamental principles and methods of selecting, analyzing, organizing, developing and communicating information, evidence and points of view to audiences.
Introduction to the programming language C. Fundamental principles, concepts, and methods of computing with emphasis on calculus-based problem-solving techniques and applications from engineering and physical science.
A continuation of analytic geometry and calculus II. The focus is on solid analytic geometry, vectors, partial derivatives, line, volume and surface integrals in various coordinate systems and vector fields. A graphing calculator is required. Ask instructor for calculator recommendations.
This course provides an introduction to engineering graphics and design through the use of traditional drafting standards and modern CAD software. Topics include graphical communication, spatial visualization, orthographic projection, dimensioning, tolerancing and 3D parametric modeling. Students will learn to interpret and create technical drawings used in the engineering design process.
This course is the study of the relationship between the external loadings on a deformable object and the resulting deformations and internal stresses and strains.
Continuation of the general principles of chemistry for students majoring in chemistry, engineering or science professions. Topics include solids/liquids, solutions, kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics and electrochemistry.
