Pre-Engineering

All courses are 3 credit hours, unless otherwise designated

Students interested in pursuing an engineering degree can begin their studies at IU South Bend in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. 

While specific requirements for transfer admission vary by institution, the courses listed below are required in most engineering degree programs. Specifically, they are required of students transferring into one of the professional engineering schools at the West Lafayette campus of Purdue University.

• CHEM-C 105 Principles of Chemistry I
• CHEM-C 106 Principles of Chemistry II
• CHEM-C 126 Experimental Chemistry II (2 cr.)
• CHEM-C 125 Experimental Chemistry I (2 cr.)
• CSCI-C 101 Computer Programming I (4 cr.)
• ENG-W 131 Reading, Writing, and Inquiry I
• MATH-M 215 Calculus I (5 cr.)
• MATH-M 216 Calculus II (5 cr.)
• PHYS-P 221 Physics 1 (5 cr.)
• PHYS-P 222 Physics 2 (5 cr.)
• SPCH-S 121 Public Speaking

A limited number of courses in the social and behavioral sciences or in the arts and humanities can generally also be applied toward the requirements of an engineering degree program.

Students interested in taking coursework in pre-engineering at IU South Bend should contact the faculty advisor, Monika Lynker, in physics and astronomy soon after admission to IU South Bend to discuss an appropriate degree program.
