Studying Pre-Engineering at Weber State

Weber State’s pre-engineering associate’s degree prepares students with a passion for science, technology, engineering and math to transition to one of the university’s engineering bachelor’s degree programs.

Pre-Engineering Highlights

Weber State’s pre-engineering major courses offer a low student-to-teacher ratio and personalized attention by faculty with industry experience.

While completing your pre-engineering major, you’ll take math and physical science courses that are required to earn your bachelor’s degree in engineering.

Credits from the program easily transfer to nearby peer institutions if you decide you’d like to continue your education at another university. You can meet University of Utah or Utah State University general education requirements while completing your associate’s degree.

Beyond the Classroom

As a pre-engineering major, you can connect with other students and participate in networking opportunities and other events through student groups, such as the Society of Women Engineers and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

“The pre-engineering program at Weber is great for students looking for a relatively inexpensive, yet good, engineering foundation. The professors prepare you really well and are readily available for any questions.”

What You’ll Learn at Weber

As you complete your associate’s degree, you’ll learn:

  • Fundamentals of engineering design and analysis
  • How to solve engineering problems in a logical and systematic way
  • Foundational principles of mathematics, physics and chemistry
  • Engineering basics that prepare you for upper-division engineering coursework

What You Can Do After Weber

When you complete the pre-engineering program, you’ll have a solid base in the engineering fundamentals, which fully prepares you to study all mainstream engineering disciplines.

Graduates often go on to programs in:

If you decide to pursue a discipline outside of engineering, the program also prepares you for bachelor’s degrees in mathematics, science and more.

Faculty Perspective

My favorite part about engaging students in the program is seeing their engineering knowledge and problem-solving abilities improve over the two short years we have them in the program.
