Pre-Engineering

You should be creative, inquisitive, analytical and detail oriented with excellent math skills. You should be able to work as part of a team and to communicate well, both orally and in writing. Communication abilities are also important because you will often interact with specialists in a wide range of fields outside engineering. 

Engineering is a very broad category. Engineers are employed worldwide in virtually every industry. Your career choices depend entirely upon which discipline you pursue to complete your bachelor’s degree.

Academic advising is an essential part of your educational experience.

We are committed to providing advice and assistance throughout your academic journey. You and your advisor work together to create an academic plan based on your goals.

For advising contact information, current and admitted students can locate advisor contact information for information technology via the UCBA advising website.
