The total includes 45 that satisfy general requirements, 15-20 required to provide math and basic science courses relevant to engineering, and 3-4 engineering elective credits. Pre-engineering associate degree courses are delivered primarily face-to-face, with some courses now offered 100% distance delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TRANSFER TO UW SYSTEM ENGINEERING SCHOOLS <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The UW-Stevens Point AS in Pre-Engineering allows for smooth transfer into engineering programs across the University of Wisconsin System, including these&nbsp;ABET-accredited engineering programs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>UW-Madison, UW-Platteville, UW-Milwaukee<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>B.S. in Mechanical Engineering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>B.S. in Civil Engineering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>B.S. in Electrical Engineering<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>UW-Stout<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>B.S. in Manufacturing Engineering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>B.S. in Mechanical Engineering<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Other Transfer Possibilities<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Milwaukee School of Engineering, Michigan Tech, University of Minnesota-Duluth, University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, and others.

The Pre-Engineering Associate Degree also includes courses that will fully satisfy your general education requirements. You might take a few introductory engineering courses at UWSP, but the primary goal of the pre-engineering curriculum is to prepare you for the engineering courses you will take after transferring to an engineering school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GET INVOLVED ON CAMPUS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students interested in engaging with the professional community may get involved in the <a href=\"https:\/\/spin.uwsp.edu\/organization\/physics\">Society of Physics Students<\/a> at UWSP.
