Program Description
The Pre-Engineering: Mechanical/Industrial program enables students to complete the courses in the first two and half years of the Bachelor of Science program in Mechanical/Industrial Engineering. The program is a pathway to the University of Michigan - Dearborn, Wayne State University, and Eastern Michigan University. Students take physics, math, chemistry, general education, and program-specific courses required by the mechanical engineering programs at these 4-year schools. Upon successful completion of the program, students can transfer to complete their final years of mechanical engineering. The HFC articulation agreements with the University of Michigan - Dearborn, Wayne State University, and Eastern Michigan University make the transfer process easier.
NOTE: We recommend students meet with the Engineering Faculty Advisor or Student Success Navigators for assistance with registering for the correct series of courses. We recommend students apply to graduate from the Pre-Engineering: General program.
Upon successful completion of this program, students should be able to:
- Describe the introductory concepts of physical sciences (chemistry and physics).
- Demonstrate the ability to work in teams to solve engineering and math problems.
- Define the roles of mechanical /industrial engineers and decide his/her pathway.
