Our students are prepared to meet the expected demand.
A degree in pre-engineering will give you the opportunity to pursue further education and eventually work in a variety of fields and specialties. Here are some examples of potential careers and median salaries:
Our pre-engineering students have the opportunity to gain real-world experience by interning in the Wichita community. This allows our students to gain experience in various industries of engineering.
One of the best ways to find success during your college career is to get involved in campus clubs and organizations. Within our pre-engineering program, our students can join the Chemistry Club, Psychology Club, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) Club. These organizations allow for personal growth, networking, and future career success.
