The University offers two ABET accredited engineering programs in conjunction with the University of Florida - Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering. Although the University of Florida awards the degree, all courses are taught on the UWF campus. Students interested in either of these programs should review the information under Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering in this catalog or contact the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Additionally, the University offers several related programs in Engineering Technology, Computer Science, and Physics. Please consult their program descriptions in this catalog.

Students who are interested in exploring the field of engineering or pursuing a baccalaureate engineering degree in fields not offered at the University of West Florida should complete this Pre-Engineering Program. Completion will result in the student earning an Associate of Arts and meeting the Florida Common Prerequisites for Engineering Programs. Students planning to transfer to an institution outside the State University System of Florida should discuss with their advisor the specific transfer requirements for that school.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Pre-Engineering students should enroll in EGN 1002 Introduction to Engineering during their first semester.

Students should consult with an advisor to determine additional courses that may be taken at UWF as part of the Associate of Arts degree program. Courses may include prerequisites at institutions outside the State University System of Florida or upper division courses that may apply toward baccalaureate graduation requirements. Advisors are available in the University Advising Center. Students who meet the requirements for the Associate of Arts degree must submit an application for graduation in order for the degree to be awarded.

Course descriptions are listed alphabetically by prefix in the back of this catalog.

General Studies
Pre-Engineering students should take ECO 2013 to meet the Social Sciences/Socio-Political Perspectives requirement, MAC 2311 and MAC 2312 to meet the Mathematical requirement, and PHY 2048/L and PHY 2049/L to meet the Science requirements.
