Freshman Engineering Program

Overview

Courses

Entering freshmen desiring to study engineering are admitted to the Freshman Engineering
Program. They may state a preference for a major in a particular engineering field if they
wish. In the event a preference is stated, it will be used in the consideration for freshmen
scholarships, if available, in the preferred department.
The goals of the Freshman Engineering Program are:
1. to provide high quality advising in order to enhance the likelihood of
student academic success, and
2. to provide information about careers in the various engineering fields so
that students can make an informed decision regarding an engineering
major.

Students will complete a set of required courses common to all engineering fields and then
may apply for admission as degree candidates to the program of their choice.
Common Engineering Freshman Year

The following courses are common to all the engineering programs offered at Missouri S&T
and are normally taken while the student is in the Freshman Engineering Program:

MATH 1214
& MATH 1215

Calculus For Engineers I

and Calculus For Engineers II

CHEM 1310
& CHEM 1319
& CHEM 1100

General Chemistry
and General Chemistry Laboratory
and Introduction To Laboratory Safety & Hazardous
Materials

ENGLISH 1120

Exposition And Argumentation

Humanities/Social Sciences courses

FR ENG 1100

Study And Careers In Engineering

MECH ENG 1720 Introduction to Engineering Design

PHYSICS 1135

Engineering Physics I

Courses required in the remainder of each specific engineering program are listed under that
programs description in the catalog.
1

Students must receive credit prior to graduation for a course that fulfills the Williams law
requirement (HISTORY 1200, HISTORY 1300, HISTORY 1310 or POL SCI 1200).
Students planning to major in architectural engineering should take HISTORY 1200.

Students planning to major in ceramic engineering, chemical engineering, environmental

engineering, geological engineering, metallurgical engineering or petroleum engineering will
require additional chemistry or chemistry/geochemistry electives. It is recommended that,
during the freshman year, these students should plan on taking CHEM 1320,
MET ENG 1210, GEOLOGY 3410, or other suggested courses as outlined in the curriculum
of those specific majors.
Students planning to major in mining engineering should take GEO ENG 1150,
MIN ENG 1912, and MIN ENG 2126 during their freshman year. Students planning to major
in nuclear engineering should take NUC ENG 1105 during their freshman year. Students
planning to major in petroleum engineering should take and PET ENG 1110 during their
freshman year.
Students may transfer from the Freshman Engineering Program to their selected degree
program after having satisfied all of the above requirements except two courses, provided the
degree programs will accept them. Students are advised to check special program
requirements as listed with the program curricula in the catalog.
