Pre-Engineering
Students interested in Pre-Engineering should decide on an engineering specialty and preferred transfer institution as early as possible since course requirements vary by specialty and by institution. Students should immediately begin working with an SVCC academic advisor and an advisor at the transfer school. Engineering programs are highly structured to meet the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (A.B.E.T.) standards required for registration as a professional engineer. A grade of "C" or better may be required for physics, chemistry, mathematics, and engineering science courses to transfer. A similar policy may exist for general educatin courses.
