Physics and Astronomy Professional Option Program: Engineering Earlham's 3/2 Pre-Engineering Option provides a wonderful opportunity for students considering a career in engineering who want the experience of a broad, liberal arts education that is seldom available to students in engineering schools. By combining three years at Earlham with two years at an engineering school, students can emphasize the liberal arts as well as the technical aspects of their education. The Earlham Pre-Engineering Program permits a student to complete the B.A. degree requirements at Earlham and the engineering requirements at a professional engineering school with the aim of becoming a practicing engineer in industry, government or at a university. Typically this type of program involves three years at Earlham studying fundamental science and the liberal arts, followed by two years of specialization at an affiliated engineering school. At the end of those five years, the student receives two degrees: a B.A. from Earlham in pre-engineering studies, and a B.S. from the engineering program. For more information about this opportunity, contact the 3/2 Faculty Liaison in the Physics Department (physics@earlham.edu). Pre-Engineering requirements in the sciences depend on the engineering program to which the student transfers, but most programs have requirements such as these:
Some programs include additional courses such as Economics (required by Columbia) or additional courses in biology, chemistry or electronics (for students with particular interests such as biomedical or electrical engineering). |
