A typical programof study consists of four semesters of coursework taken beforea student transfers to an engineering school. The courseworkinvolves an inter-disciplinary core of study in the humanitiesand social sciences, communications, mathematics, physics,chemistry, and the engineering sciences. This core is commonof most engineering disciplines and provides a solid foundationthat can lead to a career in engineering. Most courseworkis delivered by Wayne State College with the possibility ofadditional courses being delivered by other schools via distanceeducation.Three options are available for students interested in anengineering degree:1. Cooperative 2+ programs are available with the areaengineering schools such as South Dakota, SDSM&T,SDSU, or the University of Nebraska/Lincoln (UNL).WSC has signed agreements with SDSM&T and SDSUallowing students who successfully complete the twoprescribed years of WSC coursework to transfer tothe engineering school as a junior to complete his/herengineering program. Possible areas of study includeaerospace, agricultural, architectural, bio-systems,chemical, civil, computer, construction, electrical,industrial, materials, mechanical, and metallurgicalengineering2. Students can earn a BS degree in applied mathematics orin one of the other sciences at WSC, and then transfer toan engineering school to pursue either a BS or MS degree.Please refer to the Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, orComputer Science section of this catalog.3. Students can pursue a degree in engineering technologyat another university, or in industrial technology at WSC.Please refer to the Industrial Technology section of thiscatalog.Objectives: The fundamental goal of the Pre-Engineeringprogram is to deliver a well-articulated program of studyallowing students to transfer to an engineering school. To thisend, pre-engineering studies consist of an inter-disciplinarycore of course work in the humanities and social sciences,communications, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and appliedsciences.Example of a possible Program of Study in GeneralEngineeringAlthough there is a common core, each area of engineeringis enough different, that students will be prescribed individual
