PRE-ENGINEERING
Center and South Campuses
The Pre-Engineering program is designed to provide students with the basic competencies, knowledge, and skills requisite to transfer to a baccalaureate degree program in Engineering.
Because Bachelor of Science degree programs in Engineering vary somewhat from institution to institution and requirements will also differ depending upon the engineering discipline chosen as a specialization, students are advised to consult with an academic advisor or counselor (586.286.2228 Center Campus or 586.445.7211 South Campus) when selecting options and elective course work in order to tailor their program for the appropriate transfer destination.

NOTE: CHEM-1170, ECON-1160, MATH-1760, MATH-1770, and MATH-2760 are frequently available in the Spring/Summer semester.
B. Arts and Sciences Component ............................................minimum 23 sem hrs
Students should plan Arts and Sciences courses with a counselor, academic advisor, or program advisor.
- Group I requirements met by successfully completing ENGL-1180 or ENGL-1210 and ENGL-1220 or ENGL-1190.
- Group II requirements met by successfully completing one course in Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Geology and one course in Mathematics (1460 or above). MATH-1410 and MATH-1430 may substitute for MATH-1460.
- Group III requirements partially met by successfully completing ECON-1160. An additional course from Group III is to be taken appropriate to the student's transfer destination.
- Group IV requirements - one (1) course required.
- Group V requirements - one (1) course required.
C. Elective Courses....................................................................................... 0-6 sem hrs
Elective courses should be selected with the assistance of a counselor, academic advisor, or program advisor and tailored to the student's transfer destination.
Students planning to transfer to Wayne State University’s Engineering program should select PHIL-2120 - Professional Ethics.
