CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
Graduates with engineering degrees or backgrounds are in great demand for the design and development of new products, equipment, structures and processes, and operation and management of all kinds of equipment and services. Demand for engineers continues to grow in such fields as energy development and conservation, food production, transportation, environmental improvement, health service improvement, information handling, and other social areas.
A bachelor of science degree is the entry-level degree for a career in engineering. The high level of specialization that advanced degrees provide is helpful for some engineering careers, such as research or education. Professional registration by examination is necessary for a career that involves offering engineering services to the public.
Engineering is a rewarding career, both professionally and financially. A successful engineering student must have an aptitude for mathematics and science.
The Engineering program at College of DuPage provides the first two years of baccalaureate work, including mathematics courses through calculus and differential equations, computer programming, chemistry, physics, engineering graphics, mechanics, circuits and general studies. Students in this program generally transfer to baccalaureate-granting institutions, where they study for a bachelor of science degree in engineering that prepares them for professional registration. Some institutions now award the bachelor of science degree in engineering technology, a degree that is more practically oriented.

IAI MAJORS
Engineering programs are highly structured to meet the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (A.B.E.T.) standards required for registration as a professional engineer. Before transferring, you are strongly encouraged to complete an Associate in Engineering Science (A.E.S.) degree. To transfer as a junior, you must have 60 to 68 semester credits, including all of the prerequisite courses listed. You are unlikely to earn the bachelor's degree within two more years after transfer if you enter with less than 68 semester credits.
You should decide on an Engineering specialty and your preferred transfer school by the beginning of your sophomore year, since course requirements vary by specialty and by school. A grade of "C" or better is required in each course. Be sure to select your courses in consultation with an Engineering adviser. For the latest majors information, check the iTransfer web site (www.itransfer/org/).
