Pre-Engineering Associate in Science Code: 1526 Contact Persons: QC Faculty, Doug Davidson, 309-796-5246, Rm. 2-261; Matlub Ahmad, 309-796-5245, Rm. 2-262; East Campus, Vashti Berry, 309-854-1711, Rm. A-247 Students planning to major in professional engineering at a four-year institution which offers an engineering curriculum should follow the Black Hawk College Associate in Science curriculum listed here. The completion of the course of study outlined will satisfy the graduation requirements of the Black Hawk College Associate in Science degree for pre-professional engineering. This is a unique Associate in Science curriculum designed to meet the specific needs of students planning to pursue a four-year degree in professional engineering. Universities to which Black Hawk College engineering students may transfer include Bradley University, University of Illinois, University of Iowa, Iowa State University, University of Missouri, Northern Illinois University, Southern Illinois University, University of Wisconsin (Platteville), and others. The various fields of engineering (such as mechanical, electrical, computer science) require certain courses in
common as well as specific courses applicable only to that field. Normally, the courses encountered in the first two years of study are common courses. Since universities may require specific courses, students should consult with the Natural Science and Engineering department at Black Hawk College for additional information. Since employment varies greatly in various fields of engineering, students in their freshman and sophomore years should begin to give serious thought to both their field of engineering and to its application in the employment market. Students who successfully complete the Bachelor of Science degree in engineering may enter such careers as design, production and construction, operations, sales, management, testing, teaching and consulting. Two other areas, research and development, require an advanced degree. Students who do not plan to transfer to a four-year school and are interested in two-year Engineering Technology curricula should see the Engineering Technology Related Career curricula.
