BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Pre-College Preparation for Electrical Engineering
Some students have the illusion that college starts when you arrive on campus. In reality there are many things students can do -- and should do -- to prepare themselves for an engineering curriculum.
Strong Math Background
The most important college preparation for engineering is developing a strong math background. Math in engineering starts with Calculus. Students in high school need a strong background in math and should have a good mastery of pre-calculus topics before starting engineering.
Students without a pre-calculus course are not out of luck, they can certainly start with pre-calculus in college but it slows them down in their goal of getting an engineering degree.
Communication Skills Important
Similar arguments can be made regarding communications. A strong background in English and composition (writing) is a great starting point for students entering our Engineering Degree Program.
What's the old saying? "Proper prior planning prevents poor performance." This is certainly the case in preparing for an Engineering Degree while in high school.
