ENGINEERING

The Department of Physics and Astronomy offers two separate pre-engineering 
programs and advises students interested in engineering.
    
THE NORTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY SYSTEM PRE-ENGINEERING PROGRAM
    The North Carolona System Pre-Engineering Program has been approved by the 
    Subcommittee on Engineering Transfer for transfer to the engineering programs
    at North Carolina A & T State University, North Carolina State University,
    and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
    
Pre-engineering students normally take the following courses:

    MAT 1110, 1120, 2130 and 3130
    PHY 1150 and 1151
    CHE 1101/1110
    TEC 1001 or 3001
    CS 1400 or 1440
    ENG 1000 and 1100

Other recommended courses (certain of these may be required for some
engineering disciplines) include:

    PHY 2010 and 2020
    CHE 1102/1120
    ECO 2030
    P&R 3600


THE CLEMSON UNIVERSITY PRE-ENGINEERING PROGRAM
The second pre-engineering program is with Clemson University. Pre-engineering 
students in this program take the following courses:

    MAT 1110, 1120, 2130, 3130
    PHY 1150, 1151, 2010
    CHE 1101/1110-1102/1120
    CS 1400
    ECO 2030
    ENG 1000 and 1100
    ENG 2010, 2020 or 2030, 2040 or 2310, 2320 and 4700
    HIS 1101 or 1102

Just prior to transferring, students are asked to take two courses at Clemson
depending on the particular engineering discipline. After completing two semesters
of courses at Appalachian, students will complete a form "Intention to Transfer
to Engineering at Clemson University" and mail it to the College of Engineering,
Clemson University. This form is available from the Department of Physics and Astronomy.  

Students who plan to enter either the pre-engineering program or who desire to 
develop a pre-engineering program for another university are strongly urged to
consult with an advisor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy.


DUAL-DEGREE ENGINEERING PROGRAMS WITH AUBURN UNIVERSITY AND CLEMSON UNIVERSITY
Dual-degree programs are now offered in cooperation with Auburn University and 
Clemson University which permit students to attend Appalachian for three years 
and either Auburn or Clemson University for approximately two years. After 
finishing one of the programs, students will receive two degrees. 


Study during the first three years includes course work in mathematics and
the sciences and also courses chosen to meet Appalachian's core curriculum 
requirements. These courses plus two semesters of courses taken at Auburn or 
Clemson will be counted towards fulfilling the requirements for a baccalaureate
degree from Appalachian.

Upon completion of this three-two program, the graduate is awarded a
baccalaureate degree from Appalachian and an engineering bachelor's degree from
either Auburn University or Clemson University. 

Dual-degree candidates from Appalachian are eligible to seek a bachelor's degree
from Auburn University in aerospace engineering, aviation management, chemical
engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering,
materials engineering, mechanical engineering, textile chemistry, textile
engineering and textile management.

Dual-degree candidates from Appalachian are eligible to seek a bachelor's degree
from Clemson University in ceramic engineering, civil engineering, engineering
analysis, electrical engineering, industrial engineering and mechanical engineering.
