“The road leading a two-year engineering student to be a full-fledged engineer has proven to be rough because it travels through four-year-degree programs. Universities’ requirements for transfer credits vary, sometimes in unpredictable ways, making admissions hard and forcing some students to repeat course work. Even a little additional time and expense can force some of those students, who are frequently from lower-income families, out of engineering altogether.”

Offering a pre-engineering program with high proficiency math requirements will succeed if said program has a qualified number of students to enroll in those classes. Otherwise, required math class sections will not fill causing the institution to cancel the class or unprepared students who enrolled to drop out unable to successfully pass. Engineering is a rigorous educational tract.
