Associate of Science in Liberal Arts: Pre-Engineering Emphasis

Overview

The Associate of Science in Liberal Arts – Pre-Engineering Emphasis degree prepares students to succeed in a bachelor’s engineering program of their choice. Students will focus on the appropriate math and science coursework in a cost-effective, highly personalized environment. These included mathematics, physics, chemistry, writing, programming, and economics.

Students will also receive individualized academic advising to help them transition into a four-year engineering program. Completion of the A.S. degree satisfies University Studies requirements at UW-Superior and other University of Wisconsin System universities.

What You’ll Learn

Students enrolled in the pre-engineering program at UW-Superior will take all of the core courses needed to build a solid foundation in the high-demand engineering field. Core course requirements include General Chemistry, Introduction to Programming, Calculus and Analytic Geometry 1-3, and Calculus-Based Physics 1&2. Students will also build a strong core in:

• Creative and Critical Thinking:
  • Students will be able to draw reasoned conclusions from sound mathematical or scientific principles and data.
  • Students will be able to critically evaluate given assumptions and reasoning about a problem.
• Communication:
  • Students will be able to communicate effectively using accepted mathematical and scientific notation, terminology, and conventions.
• Individual and Social Responsibility:
  • Students will demonstrate an understanding of how their decisions (personal or professional) can alter the well-being of themselves, others, or the greater environment.
