Program Description
The Engineering Pathway: 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 at University of Michigan - Dearborn. Students take physics, math, chemistry, general education, and program specific courses required by the engineering program. Upon successful completion of the program, students can transfer to University of Michigan - Dearborn to complete their final years of engineering. The HFC articulation agreement with University of Michigan - Dearborn makes the transfer process easier. NOTE: Students should meet with the Engineering Faculty Advisor for assistance with registering for the correct series of courses.
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.
After completion of this program and transfer to and completion of the a 4-year institution Bachelor of Science degree, students can specialize in fields such as Mechanical, Industrial, Systems or Manufacturing Engineering.
Admission Requirements
Students are required to be in the Pre-Engineering program for at least one semester, and have taken ENGR-130, ENG-131, at least one humanities, and one social science course prior to applying for this program. Approval by a counselor, an advisor, a student success navigator, or the Engineering Faculty Advisor is required.
